CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: NOT EXCITING

"You can also slander me in front of your family, it’s just an arranged marriage, why take it so seriously, Mr. Jiang."

"My patience is limited, I advise you to be sensible."

"It’s you who should be sensible, and please don’t pester me anymore."

Su Lingzhi exerted all her strength to break free from his shackles, "There is no love between us, with your qualifications, what woman can’t you have, why cling to me?"

Su Lingzhi’s eyebrows tightened, her eyes filled with disgust towards him.

Jiang Chenglin’s arm veins gradually receded, his brow furrowed deeply, his tone no longer as forceful: "Without feelings, we can slowly cultivate them."

Su Lingzhi clenched her fists tightly, "It’s impossible between us."

"Whether it’s possible or not is not up to you. The union between our two families is an inevitable outcome, it won’t change because you say you’re unwilling, I advise you to be obedient."

Jiang Chenglin looked at her calmly, "Now that you’ve completed your studies, you should return to the country, I’ve booked a flight for you at seven o’clock tonight."

"How dare you arrange my itinerary?" Su Lingzhi shouted at him, "Even if we have plans for an arranged marriage, you can’t disrespect people like this, is this the kind of upbringing and virtue the Jiang Family has?"

This was the first time someone pushed her to such a loss of composure, and no one had ever forced her into this.

But Jiang Chenglin still refused to let go, gloomily staring at the hickey on her neck, "If you had obediently listened to me last night and not mingled with wild men, things wouldn’t have escalated to this."

"If you’re unsatisfied with me, let go, why torment me here?"

Su Lingzhi’s eyes reddened, fearlessly meeting his gaze, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

Jiang Chenglin’s eyes flashed a hint of emotion, anger and heartache twisting together.

Su Lingzhi continued, "In any case, I can’t accept an arranged marriage. I have four days left until my internship ends, after which I’ll return home and make things clear to my family, but not today."

Seeing her tears still falling, Jiang Chenglin finally held back, feeling a pang of compassion, "Okay, I’ll wait for you to return home, but before next Friday, if I don’t hear news of your return, I don’t mind coming in person to bring you back, at which point, there will be no room for negotiation."

Upon hearing this, Su Lingzhi immediately stopped her tears, wiped her face with a hand, "Deal."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Chenglin realized he had been deceived by her tears, as she turned around, he quickly grabbed her hand.

Su Lingzhi’s heart tightened, "You just promised me, no more pestering."

Jiang Chenglin took out his phone and dialed a number, then Su Lingzhi’s phone rang.

He said, "Save the number."

Su Lingzhi held back, took out her phone, and saved his number in front of him, with the note ’Jiang’.

Jiang Chenglin warned, "Remember what I just said, and remember your current status."

Su Lingzhi glared at him, shook off his hand, "Everything you did to me today, I’ll report it all to my family."

Watching her angry departing figure, Jiang Chenglin’s handsome eyes slightly darkened.

...

After maintaining a distance from him, Su Lingzhi sighed in relief.

Fortunately, he temporarily let her go, giving her time to handle this.

With a few days left until the internship ends, as long as she endures these days, she’ll immediately pack up and return home, dispelling her family’s intention of arranging her marriage.

But just thinking that the arranged marriage is her grandfather’s idea, she can’t help but worry.

This marriage was arranged by her grandfather, simply because her grandparents preferred boys over girls, and she’s an only daughter, so they don’t care for her, she’s worried she won’t be able to persuade them.

...

In the evening, Fu Yinli and a group of England noble young men entered a high-end club.

Here, the beauties and wines are top-notch, the young men were playfully kissing with the hostesses on the sofa.

The stage was shrouded in smoke, women twirled seductively on the poles, flaunting their charms.

Fu Yinli sat in a single chair, quietly smoking, coldly watching the pole dance on stage.

Someone handed an electronic screen to him fawningly, "Mr. Fu, care to choose one?"

Fu Yinli took it, flipping through the pages seemingly attentively.

Then, he pushed the screen away, saying, "Not interested."

Seeing his gaze return to the stage, someone directly brought the woman on the pole down in front of Fu Yinli, "Mr. Fu, did you fancy her?"

Fu Yinli glanced at that person, took a drag on his cigarette, then asked, "Hua Country?"

The woman nodded, somewhat scared of him.

"Arrived when?" Fu Yinli coldly asked.

"Arrived just the day before yesterday."

"Virgin?"

The woman’s heart tightened, "Yes."

Fu Yinli got up, entered a room leaving the door ajar.

That person nudged the woman, urging, "President Fu is waiting inside for you, you’d better go in quickly."

The woman’s heart trembled, stopped at the door for a glance, then moved inside and closed the door.

The soundproofing was naturally good, the woman looked at the man leaning against the wall smoking, somewhat at a loss.

The manager had already taught her the art of seduction, today was her first time serving a guest.

Naturally, encountering such a handsome and charismatic man, it’s hard not to be moved.

"Do it yourself."

With one sentence, the woman clenched her fist, lying on the bed using all her allure to hook him.

Fu Yinli stood by the bed, expressionless, watching her.

In such an establishment, he had a rule, if not a virgin, he wouldn’t touch, he found it dirty, everyone in the circle knew.

But what they didn’t know was, he was never interested in these women, the private encounters were just for show, to avoid gossip and trouble.

In the face of lust, even if they had numerous tricks, they were vulgar and unattractive, failing to arouse him.

After nearly ten minutes, Fu Yinli chuckled coldly, "Is that all your hooking skills?"

The woman’s expression froze, plunging into unspeakable embarrassment.

Fu Yinli stubbed out his cigarette, indifferently paced out of the room.

Outside, people smiled obsequiously, inviting him to drink, asking about the woman.

Fu Yinli sneered contemptuously, "Not as exciting as the one at home."

Upon hearing this, the woman was immediately embarrassed, returning to the stage to continue dancing.

Fu Yinli took a sip of wine, his voice especially cold, "I’ll leave first."

In England, certain matters aren’t as convenient as in Beijing, anything involving the Fu Group requires him to attend some occasions, dealing with these noble young men from England because someone above is watching.

The facade was done, having achieved his goal, there’s no reason to stay, his visit was merely a gesture of courtesy after a partnership was established.

Downstairs, Xiao Li saw him coming out, hurriedly opened the car door.

In the car, Fu Yinli furrowed his brow, instructed Xiao Li to drive to an address.
