Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 50 The Preposterous Reason He Gave

Luo Mei immediately said, "A proposal should naturally take place in a romantic setting to be more meaningful."

"Ah... you want to propose to me?" Lin Banxia's beautiful eyes widened instantly, a look of shocked delight crossing her face.

Huo Qinglin nodded, gazing at her with deep affection. "Last time, I planned to discuss the engagement with your family, but it ended in unpleasantness. So I thought, let's skip the engagement. I'll propose to you directly. Banxia, will you join me on the yacht tomorrow? Please don't let my arrangements go to waste."

Lin Banxia sneered internally. Is he serious about this?

If he proposed to me, and I threw the ring into the sea to reject him on the spot, would he lose his sense of pride as the young master?

Just as Lin Banxia was debating whether she should agree, a tall, refined figure suddenly appeared outside the living room door.

"Yan Ting? Why are you here?" Luo Mei immediately stood up, putting on a gentle and gracious demeanor.

Huo Yanting strode in, his strikingly handsome face carrying a hint of fatigue, which only added to his languid and seductive aura.

"Second Aunt, I've come back late, and there's no dinner prepared at home. Could I trouble you for a meal here?" Huo Yanting's thin lips curled slightly, his magnetic voice sounding warm and refined.

"Of course. You used to love coming to our house for meals when you were young. But as you've grown older, it's rare to see you around." Luo Mei welcomed him warmly.

Huo Yanting expressed his gratitude immediately, "Thank you, Second Aunt!"

Huo Qinglin addressed him briefly, "Big Brother!"

When Lin Banxia saw Huo Tingyan, she froze in her tracks.

It wasn't until he took long strides toward her and sat down in the chair next to her that she remembered to greet him.

"Young Master!" she called out softly.

Huo Tingyan didn't even spare her a glance and responded indifferently with a simple "Hmm."

Lin Banxia suddenly felt her prior ease dissipate completely. The man's presence was overwhelmingly strong, stirring up her emotions.

Thinking about last night's deep kiss made her blush inexplicably.

And recalling how he had asked her to stay with him only made her heart even more chaotic, leaving her deeply unsettled.

"Big Brother, we were just talking about proposals. Do you have any suggestions?" Huo Qinglin asked casually.

He hadn't linked Lin Banxia's drugged incident to Huo Tingyan, so naturally, he hadn't realized there had been any intimacy between them.

Huo Tingyan's deep, restrained gaze swept over, fixing briefly on Lin Banxia before moving away in seconds.

"I have no experience in this area, so I can't offer you advice," Huo Tingyan said coldly.

When Lin Banxia heard him say "no experience," she looked over at him in astonishment, her beautiful eyes betraying a hint of shock.

Her heart began to quiver inexplicably.

Huo Qinglin immediately laughed and teased, "Big Brother, you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a woman. Holding back for too long isn't good for your health."

Lin Banxia blushed furiously at the word "holding back."

Huo Tingyan's thin lips lifted into a seductive smile. "You're right. It's time I found a woman."

"I know quite a few elite women from distinguished families. If you need any introductions, I could set you up. You're always busy with work and rarely have the chance to meet them," Huo Qinglin offered enthusiastically.

Huo Tingyan, however, showed no mercy, his voice chilly and laced with sarcasm. "I'm not interested in secondhand goods that others have played with. The woman I want must be pure in both body and spirit, someone who feels good to be with."

His statement sounded like a mere remark to Huo Qinglin, who brushed it off with a laugh. But to Lin Banxia, it was scorching.

Was he implying that the woman he referred to might be her?
