Chapter 843: Marriage Proposal

She wanted him!

Lu Jinwen’s expression did not change but the curve on his lips deepened. As he was kneeling on the floor on one knee, his black s.h.i.+rt and trousers became creased, but these creases only accentuated his irresistible charm. He gave a low laugh. “Xuanyin, you are indeed avaricious. You’re not satisfied with being Mrs Lu, and even now you still want to conquer my body and heart. You’ve spoiled the rules of the game.”

Lin Xuanyin’s body turned as cold as ice. When they got married, he had told her before that he would not be able to give her two things – s.e.x and love.

To put it simply, he would not give her his body and heart.

Since she had coveted the t.i.tle of Mrs Lu, he had married her and taken care of her needs. She was the one who had chosen to live such a life, no matter how much joy or misery there was. This marriage was merely a transaction and a game.

But she really loved him.

She wanted every part of him!

“Jinwen, is this because of Younger Sister? Why aren’t you believing my words? She’s only making use of you to take revenge and her ultimate target is you!”

Lu Jinwen retracted his arm calmly and he looked at Lin Xuanyin. “I know what she wants to do, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m willing to be used by her, even if she stabs my heart with a knife, just as long as she’s by my side and she can give me some closure.”

He was only asking for closure, be it happy or sad.

It had been so many years that she had left him. He was akin to a lifeless person throughout all these years. If she wanted to kill him eventually, he would be willing to resign himself to it.

He only wished for her not to leave him again.

Lin Xuanyin gasped and looked at Lu Jinwen in disbelief. Did he know what he was talking about?

Was he insane?

Three years ago, when Lin Xuanji had disappeared, she had said that when she returned she would stab his heart with a long spear. Lin Xuanji was shockingly talented and even though her features had become more delicate and tender these three years, all the love and hatred were deeply concealed within her. She wanted everyone to pay a price for the harm they had caused her, and that included the child that she had lost.

That was the real Lin Xuanji.

Eventually, Lin Xuanji would kill him.

But what did he just say?

He said that he would be willing to be killed by her.

It was if a large hand had pushed her into an abyss in the darkness and she could no longer see the light. In the end, she had still lost to Lin Xuanji.

The most unfortunate thing for Lin Xuanji in her life was to meet Lu Jinwen. But how many women could obtain that sort of trust from a man their whole life?

“Jinwen, what happens if I refuse to divorce you?”

Lu Jinwen shrugged his broad shoulders. “You have a choice between the heart transplant operation tomorrow and the divorce.”

What?

Lin Xuanyin’s eyes narrowed. “Are you saying that… if I don’t consent to the divorce, the operation tomorrow will be cancelled?”

Lu Jinwen nodded and his smile was chilly. “Xuanyin, we will still divorce when you are dead. You are an intelligent person, so pick up the pen and sign it now. Don’t test my patience, hm?”

Lin Xuanyin’s limbs were icy-cold and her entire body was trembling. This was the real Lu Jinwen, the most heartless and ruthless Emperor.

He was also a demon.

All these years, she had been living with a demon.

She did not want to die.

She would have nothing left when she died.

Suddenly, an eerie smile appeared on Lin Xuanyin’s face. Anyway… the person who saved him that year was not her.

Her heart condition was congenital.

Although Xuanji was her twin, Heavens had treated her so well. Xuanji’s heart was perfectly fine.

The fountain pen fell onto the carpet. Lin Xuanyin crawled over to the pen slowly and signed her name on the divorce agreement.

…

The luxury car stopped at the field outside the villa. Lin Xuanji did not alight the car.

She peered at this villa through the car window. The first and last time she was here, she had lost her baby due to Lin Xuanyin. She had come here wanting to punish Xuanyin and he had given her a slap. She had not returned here for many years after this incident.

Lin Xuanji retracted her gaze indifferently. She was still heartbroken and grief-stricken by the past events.

He and she had shared such a long history.

At this moment, the car door was opened and Lu Jinwen was standing outside, glancing down at her. “Get down.”

“Can I say no?”

“Do you want me to lay my hand on you?”

Lin Xuanji remained silent as she alighted from the car.

The breeze tonight was somewhat cool and the skirt of her Cheongsam billowed in the wind. Her ravis.h.i.+ng face was still enchanting after all these years.

She lowered her lashes and they fluttered delicately like the wings of a b.u.t.terfly. At this moment, a few bright white lights shone at her and two luxury cars arrived one after another.

The luxury cars came to a stop. Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi had rushed over here. It had been twenty-four years and this pair of siblings had perfectly inherited all the good genes from the previous generation. They alighted from the cars and looked ahead.

There was another luxury car and Old Master Lin also alighted the car.

The main door of the villa was pushed open and Lin Xuanyin came out.

Everyone had gathered together on this night.

Lin Xuanji’s exquisite eyes were amiable. She glanced at Lu Jinwen and said, “Mo’er and Chenyi are here. I’m leaving now.”

She proceeded to leave.

“Who said you can leave?” Lu Jinwen grasped her slender arm and pulled her back. “This is for you!”

He stuffed two red books into her arms.

Lin Xuanji looked down and saw a divorce certificate.

It was Lin Xuanyin’s and his divorce certificate.

Even the divorce certificates were red nowadays. Actually divorce was also something to celebrate.

This man was really efficient.

Lin Xuanji glanced at it and pa.s.sed the divorce certificate back to him. “I’ve seen it already. I’m returning it to you now.”

Lu Jinwen stuck one hand into his trousers pocket. “For you to keep!”

For her to keep!

Lin Xuanyin’s and his divorce certificate?

Lin Xuanji wanted to laugh at the man’s thought processes.

“Lin Xuanji, I’ve heeded your words and divorced Lin Xuanyin. It’s your turn to reciprocate now,” the man said with knitted brows.

Lin Xuanji did not comprehend what he was saying. “Lu Jinwen, what exactly do you mean?”

What did he mean?

Tang Mo’er, Tang Chenyi, Old Master Lin and Lin Xuanyin were all looking at him silently and waiting for Lu Jinwen to explain himself.

Now Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji were standing on the field. The lights along the corridor shone on them, illuminating their good looks and charm. The skirt of her cheongsam swished around his black trousers. They would always be intricately entwined with each other.

Lu Jinwen glanced at Lin Xuanji indifferently. The man raised his chin slightly in an indolent fas.h.i.+on and said composedly, “Lin Xuanji, you can propose marriage to me now!”
