Dire straits?
Chen Xuan imdiately grinned playfully, deliberately provoking Lin Wanxi: "Well, here's the question, Miss Lin, just how deep is the water? And how hot is the fire?"
Damn it...
Lin Wanxi was montarily speechless, glaring viciously at him, thinking, who said you could start talking obscenely at the drop of a hat?
Imdiately losing any good impression she had of Chen Xuan.
The gratitude she felt earlier vanished in an instant.
Chen Xuan stopped toying around and said seriously: "Your father has recovered from his illness. Isn't it ti for you to give the Jade Pendant?"
Lin Wanxi was still angry and snorted lightly: "I'll give you a million-dollar cheque as thanks. As for the Jade Pendant, no way!"
"Lin Wanxi, how can you go back on your word like that?" Chen Xuan's face showed displeasure.
"Did I say sothing like that? I don't rember." Lin Wanxi shot him a glance, her face holding a defiant smirk.
Chen Xuan nearly went crazy; the prettier the woman, the less reasonable she seed.
"Fine, Lin Wanxi, you're playing gas with , huh? I'll stick it out with you today then!"
Chen Xuan plopped down onto the sofa: "I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'll just hang around your place for dinner."
"Eat until you drop, you rascal! Hmph!" Lin Wanxi snorted disdainfully, looking very proud.
At lunch, Lin Zhiguo deliberately arranged for Chen Xuan to sit right next to Lin Wanxi.
"After you finish eating, go register your marriage imdiately. Tomorrow's the weekend; the offices will be closed, so you'd better hurry."
Lin Zhiguo urged them with a smile.
"Dad, things aren't as you think." Lin Wanxi grew anxious and needed to clarify things.
"I'm not thinking much about it. Since the two of you are mutually attracted, I won't oppose it as your father." Lin Zhiguo said with a grin.
Lin Wanxi grew even more depressed, thinking, who said we're attracted to each other?
They barely have any connection at all!
Chen Xuan took the chance to smirk playfully: "Your dad is quite open-minded; he's a rather good father-in-law."
That resulted in Lin Wanxi glaring at him fiercely.
"Dad, I have to clarify this matter for you."
"I have no relationship with Chen Xuan! I'll speak plainly—I hired Chen Xuan with money just to deceive Chen Anping, and also you guys, by pretending to be my boyfriend."
Lin Wanxi spilled all at once.
What?
Zhang Ru was surprised: "Hiring soone to pretend to be your boyfriend? Lin Wanxi, you're sothing else!"
"So, the two of you last night... didn't do anything?"
Lin Zhiguo's brow slightly furrowed. If not for the treatnt issue earlier, he wouldn't have paid attention to Chen Xuan.
He might even have flown into a rage over it.
At this mont, he very much wanted the two to be real, tightly bound with Chen Xuan.
"Wanxi, this isn't a matter to joke about!" Lin Zhiguo said sternly.
Lin Wanxi, annoyed, pointed at Chen Xuan: "If you don't believe , ask him."
Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru looked toward Chen Xuan, waiting for him to respond.
Chen Xuan didn't respond but looked at Lin Wanxi and said in a very low voice: "Give the Jade Pendant, and I'll prove it imdiately."
"No way! I never yield to coercion!" Lin Wanxi snorted softly.
"Haha, well that's great, then we can just drag this out."
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, turning to Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru: "Last night, the two of us were together, spending the night at my rental apartnt."
Bang!
Lin Wanxi instantly flared up, standing abruptly: "Chen Xuan, you're shaless!"
"How am I shaless? Isn't what I'm saying the truth?" Chen Xuan smirked dismissively: "Can you deny spending the night at my rental apartnt? Checking the neighborhood surveillance would make it clear."
"You..."
Lin Wanxi was infuriated and really couldn't refute.
Lin Zhiguo chuckled: "Looks like it's just a little quarrel! Wanxi, stop acting like a child."
"Since it's already reached this point, I think Chen Xuan's quite a nice young man, so let's settle it like that."
Lin Wanxi felt like she'd stepped on a cat's tail. What does he an, settle it like that?
What was up with her dad today at noon?
Not only was he not his usual self, but he was also trying hard to pair them up.
"Dad, I admit I stayed at Chen Xuan's place last night, but it wasn't my intention."
"Besides, nothing happened last night! Earlier, I made up lies deliberately!"
Lin Wanxi glared at Chen Xuan: "You can't deny that, can you? Do you dare say we've had intimate contact?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Didn't we have intimate contact when the clothes ca off last night?" Chen Xuan smirked mischievously, intentionally worsening the situation to rile Lin Wanxi.
"I really can't listen any longer! You young ones say anything! Don't you know sha?" Zhang Ru's face flushed with embarrassnt, as she got up and left.
Lin Zhiguo wasn't angry at all; instead, he said happily: "Alright, neither of you say anything more."
"Whether anything happened last night or not, the fact is you two did spend the night together, and it's beco a settled fact!"
"Chen Xuan, as a man, you should take responsibility for my daughter, right?"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile: "No problem."
"Good, straightforward! He's a good young man!"
Lin Zhiguo clapped with a smile: "No more discussion; you'll go register your marriage this afternoon."
"Bring Yiyi back tonight to et Chen Xuan."
Lin Wanxi was on the verge of going crazy, feeling like she'd brought ruin upon herself, unable to clear her na.
Her father Lin Zhiguo's attitude was firm, leaving Lin Wanxi no room to resist.
After lunch, the two walked out the door together.
Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan defiantly: "You dare co with to register the marriage now?"
