"Why? I don’t even have personal savings, and I’ve met the standards of a good husband, so why won’t you marry me?"
Lin Xinlan hadn’t said anything yet, but she was already so amused that she could hardly see.
She smiled and deliberately asked him, "Even getting a marriage certificate costs money. Do you have the money to get married?"
"..." Rong Shaoze felt that he was completely defeated by this woman, "I can borrow if I don’t have money."
"Borrow from our son, he’s the wealthiest now, so I’ll borrow from him. No, let him pay for our wedding, all the expenses for the wedding ceremony, let him bear the cost! After all, he is our son," he said righteously.
The man’s eyes were bright, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows full of strong laughter.
Lin Xinlan was so delighted that she couldn’t help but reach out and caress his face, feeling how nice his skin was, really smooth.
This man, who was now joking and laughing with her, a man so blissfully happy it didn’t seem real, was he really the same Rong Shaoze who was capricious, cold, and cruel?
Because he was facing her, did he deliberately act pitiful, enduring her touches and still smiling so happily?
Lin Xinlan felt that the happiest person wasn’t Rong Shaoze. It was her.
What to do, she was really getting fonder of this man, her heart was filled with him, and seeing him made her feel very sweet and happy.
Even the air... was sweet...
The two gazed deeply at each other, their eyes seeing only one another.
As the man’s gaze gradually deepened, Lin Xinlan whispered with a smile, "Rong Shaoze, I’m not planning to take you anymore, what should I do?"
He looked at her with widened eyes in surprise, puzzled why she would say that.
"You said you are penniless, why should I marry you? My son is the wealthiest person now, I can just rely on my son. What’s the benefit of marrying you?"
Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, the man suddenly leaped into the bathtub, splashing a significant amount of water.
"What are you doing?!" Lin Xinlan exclaimed.
He ripped off his shirt in one smooth motion, revealing a tanned and muscular chest.
Gazing at her, he smiled wickedly and said, "Let me show you the benefits of marrying me."
With that, he began to undo his belt.
Lin Xinlan instantly realized and her entire face blushed.
She had merely been joking with him because they were so happy today, never expecting the joke to go too far...
"Hey, my foot hasn’t healed yet," Lin Xinlan said as she shrank back, speaking with a guilty conscience.
Rong Shaoze leaned in and embraced her.
Their skin touched, sending a current of electricity through their bodies, stirring their hearts.
With his deep, dark eyes looking into hers, he curved his lips into an enticing smile, his lips parting slightly, his voice husky as he said:
"A foot injury has no impact on making love. Xinlan, the greatest benefit of marrying me is... I can take you to heaven every day..."
Lin Xinlan’s heart trembled violently, she stared at him blankly, her mind a complete void.
His eyes were so dark, like a vast whirlpool, drawing her attention, making it impossible for her to look away, impossible not to be drawn to him.
The man gently captured her lips with his, his movement passionate, heating her heart, her body, and causing her to lose herself in the boundless passion...
Mother Rong thought it over and decided to tell Rong Shaoze her plan first.
As long as he agreed, there would be no worry that her proposal would be rejected.
After dinner, Lin Xinlan took Xiaocong to Mother Lin’s room, and the three of them went to chat about family matters.
