How could it be Mother Rong’s choice?
Mother Rong said with a faint smile, “Actually, who Shaoze marries isn’t important at all.
What is important is that he must settle down and establish himself right away.
You don’t need to know why.
I asked Shaoze to choose you because I know that in order to make up for your mistakes, you will do everything he arranges wholeheartedly and will not become trouble for him later on.
Frankly speaking, you are just a pawn in Shaoze’s hand.
Don’t think it’s unfair.
Your marriage was a transaction from the beginning.
I hope you understand this, see it clearly, do you?”
Lin Xinlan nodded calmly, “I understand.
I won’t fall in love with him, nor will I have any demands of the Rong Family.
I just hope to make up for my mistakes and then gain my freedom to live the life I want.”
She hit the nail on the head.
Mother Rong had indeed not chosen wrongly.
Mother Rong smiled contentedly and said, “Don’t worry, with me making decisions for you, as long as you temporarily play the role of Shaoze’s wife well, I can guarantee you won’t have any trouble later on.”
Rong.” She did not call her mother.
At this time, it was inappropriate to pretend.
Rong Shaoze came downstairs with a somewhat dark expression.
He greeted Mother Rong and then left with Lin Xinlan.
Sitting in the car, neither spoke.
After driving for a while, they arrived at the seaside, where Rong Shaoze parked the car, rolled down the window, and lit a cigarette.
Lin Xinlan sensed that he was troubled about something; she didn’t ask any questions and rested her arms on the car window, gazing at the sea in the dark night.
When the cigarette was finished, Rong Shaoze asked faintly, “What did my mother say to you?”
“The lady said to me to play your wife’s role well.
She also said that you choosing me to be your wife was her idea.”
Rong Shaoze nodded, not denying it, “If it weren’t for her reminder, I wouldn’t have thought of marrying you.
She must have made it clear to you, our marriage is just a trade, and you can’t truly take the position of the Young Madam of the Rong Family.”
Lin Xinlan nodded, her expression calm and natural.
Rong Shaoze’s deep eyes glanced at her, his lips curling up in a cold smirk, “But now, things have changed.”
“Grandfather said I’ve been involved in too many scandals outside, which isn’t good for my reputation.
He told me to find an opportunity to take you out in public, to introduce you to everyone.”
Lin Xinlan’s elbow slipped; her eyes widened in shock as she quickly asked, “You agreed?!”
The man curled his lips slightly, “Of course not.”
He started the car and left, not saying another word.
Lin Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful he hadn’t agreed.
The rest of the journey was silent, and both returned home without conversation.
Lin Xinlan headed toward the bedroom while Rong Shaoze followed her.
As she turned to close the door, he blocked it with his hand.
Before she could finish speaking, he pushed into the room and closed the door.
“Get out; I’m tired today and want to rest alone,” Lin Xinlan frowned.
Rong Shaoze’s eyes were infused with a mischievous smile, “We’ve done this more than once or twice, what’s with the pretense?
I don’t disdain you for having been with other men, so don’t act so self-righteous.”
“Get out!” Lin Xinlan immediately became angry, “What right do you have to talk to me , when you yourself have been used by so many women.
Before you speak of others, think about whether you’re clean yourself!”
The man’s face changed abruptly; he grabbed her neck and pushed her down on the bed, his strong body pressing down.
His fingers tightened slightly as the corners of his mouth turned up in a violent curve.
“Lin Xinlan, you’re growing bolder.
Daring to say I’m not clean, you’ve really got some nerve!”
Lin Xinlan grabbed his hand, her face turning crimson with defiant eyes.
“Compared to me, you’ve always been the dirtier one.
