Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 510 - 491: Candlelight Dinner
"Why bring this up all of a sudden? The one with the bad reputation is Qing Lin, isn’t it? Banxia already turned down his proposal, which means there’s no fate between them. If any rumors really spread, let Qing Lin hold a press conference and clear everything up from the past." Just when Lin Banxia thought Mrs. Huo was going to scold her, to her surprise, the one rebuked was still Luo Mei.
She was momentarily stunned.
Luo Mei’s whole body trembled as she hurriedly lowered her voice to apologize: "Mom, I was just worried. Please don’t be angry; I won’t bring it up again in the future."
Mrs. Huo sighed, "You people really don’t put me at ease. Now go back, all of you. I need some rest!"
The two of them stood up and watched as Mrs. Huo left.
As soon as Mrs. Huo was gone, Luo Mei immediately glared venomously at Lin Banxia. "What tricks did you use to make her go so easy on you?"
Lin Banxia, unreserved toward this former mother-in-law in her past life, retorted bluntly: "Aunt, you’re the one who misspoke, so why blame me? I didn’t bring up the things that upset her."
"That’s just the truth! You’ve always had a bad reputation. Am I not allowed to say it?" Luo Mei spat through gritted teeth.
Lin Banxia shot back, "My reputation, good or bad, only matters as long as my husband doesn’t mind!"
"Hah, not only did you entangle yourself with Qing Lin, but also with Leng Weichen. Lin Banxia, you’ve probably lost your innocence ages ago, haven’t you?" Thinking about how the man her daughter admired, Leng Weichen, had also been rumored with Lin Banxia, Luo Mei’s fury surged even stronger.
Lin Banxia frowned tightly. Was Luo Mei deliberately making her life difficult at this point?
"Aunt, is there a need to make your words so nasty? We’re going to be one family going forward. Seeing each other day in and day out, fostering bad blood isn’t good for anyone, don’t you agree?" Lin Banxia said, a sneer curling her lips.
Luo Mei, though she wanted to hurl more insults at her, found Lin Banxia’s words sharp enough to bring her hatred to a halt.
Indeed, as an elder, it was beneath her to get into a screaming match with a junior like Lin Banxia here.
Since they were under the same roof, there would be plenty of chances to deal with her later. No need to rush.
With a cold snort, Luo Mei turned and left.
Lin Banxia let out a soft sigh. If she wanted to secure her footing in the Huo Family in the future, these battles with people like Luo Mei were far from over.
This was the world of the wealthy and powerful. She had lived through it once before, so starting over again was nothing she feared.
Night fell, and Yan Ting sent a driver to pick her up for dinner.
It was an extraordinarily romantic theme restaurant.
A candlelight dinner!
When the heart-shaped candle on the table lit up, and the surrounding lights dimmed gradually, Lin Banxia couldn’t help but laugh softly.
"Who would’ve thought the serious and standoffish Mr. Huo actually had a romantic side?" Lin Banxia teased.
"Don’t like it?" Yan Ting’s gaze stiffened briefly before his deep voice followed: "I thought all women liked this kind of atmosphere."
"Of course I like it. As long as I’m with you, I’ll enjoy anything we do together," Lin Banxia responded sincerely.
"Oh? Then tell me, what’s your favorite thing to do with me?" The man’s voice dropped to a husky baritone, the surrounding air growing subtly more heated.
Lin Banxia’s face flushed instantly. "I like eating meals with you."
"Dodging the question?" Yan Ting stood up, his tall figure striding over to stand behind her. Leaning down, his hand rested on her shoulder, and his thin lips lowered to her ear, his voice rumbling hoarsely, "Isn’t it the thing we do in bed?"
