Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 346 - 347: What’s His is Hers

Huo Yanting was momentarily stunned by her words!

"Borrow money from me? Are you sure?" The man’s tone carried an unsettling hint of danger.

Lin Banxia’s lips parted slightly. Oh no—she knew she shouldn’t have brought up the word "borrow money." Nobody likes hearing others ask for money, right?

"I... I had no other choice, which is why I asked to borrow from you. If you..."

"My money—isn’t it yours?" Huo Yanting looked at her as she fumbled with her words, and immediately chuckled, saying something that left Lin Banxia flabbergasted.

"How could yours be mine? I’m not even your wife anymore." Lin Banxia thought back to what it felt like to be his wife, and her heart stirred uneasily.

In truth, being Huo Yanting’s wife was an incredibly happy and fulfilling experience.

But that was all in the past.

"You could demand an exorbitant breakup fee from me, but you cannot use the word borrow, got it?" The man dotingly reached out and tapped her small nose. "Now, tell me, how much do you want from me?"

"Well... if I tell you, don’t be shocked, okay?" Lin Banxia didn’t expect Huo Yanting to be so straightforward—it moved her so much she wanted to cry.

Huo Yanting looked at her cautious demeanor and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "Other things might surprise me, but when it comes to money, you absolutely won’t be able to startle me."

"Three hundred million!" Lin Banxia said in a clear voice. "Did I scare you?"

Huo Yanting wasn’t startled, but he was genuinely curious, "Why do you need so much money? What happened?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"This morning, my stepmother came to see me. She said I’m not Lin Kunhuai’s biological daughter. Judging by her demeanor, I don’t think she was lying. Maybe... I really am not Lin Kunhuai’s daughter. They’re saying I was adopted, and now they’re forcing me to either hand over the pear garden or pay them three hundred million as a settlement. Huo Yanting, I truly have nowhere else to turn, which is why I’ve come to you. As long as you can lend me this money, I’ll do anything you ask moving forward—I won’t refuse you." Unable to hide her disheveled state in front of him, Lin Banxia simply laid bare her desperation. At this moment, all she wanted was to save the pear garden; everything else, including how to repay the enormous sum, wasn’t even on her radar.

Huo Yanting’s eyes darkened as he looked at the girl lowering her head—his heart ached deeply for her.

"I’ve long suspected you weren’t Lin Kunhuai’s biological daughter, but I didn’t expect it to be true." Huo Yanting let out a mocking laugh.

"If I were his flesh and blood, he wouldn’t treat me like a commodity to trade with others." Lin Banxia laughed at herself in self-deprecation.

"It’s better that you’re not his biological child. If I were to end up with a father-in-law as greedy and shameless as him, it would be nothing short of a headache. Don’t worry—I’ll take care of the pear garden issue. That land has some value right now, but if they think they can extort three hundred million, they can dream on." Huo Yanting sneered coldly.

Lin Banxia nodded, seething with anger herself. "I think what they’re asking for is outrageous too. If you have the means to make them agree to a fair deal, that would be wonderful."

"Dealing with people like them—I have over a thousand ways to make it happen. Rest assured, I’ll handle everything. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you or the pear garden." Huo Yanting gently touched her head and comforted her with warmth.

Lin Banxia’s heart trembled. Unable to resist, she reached out and wrapped her arms around the man’s sturdy waist. "Are you leaving tonight?"
