Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 57 Temporarily Agreeing to the Proposal

This Lin Shiyi is just like her mother—narrow-minded and fond of stirring up drama. Since she's already infatuated with Huo Yanting, she's bound to come up with all kinds of self-destructive schemes. I must make her taste the bitterness of being ruthlessly rejected by Huo Yanting.

Anyway, I'm in a cooperative relationship with Huo Yanting. If I add this condition, he should agree, right?

Lin Banxia carried her food and picked a seat to sit down, no longer paying attention to the happenings on Huo Qinglin's side.

However, Huo Qinglin suddenly became unusually enthusiastic toward her. After she ate a few bites, he walked over and grabbed her delicate hand, saying, "Banxia, come with me. I'll introduce you to a few friends."

"Let go first. I'm wearing heels and can't walk steadily!" Lin Banxia really didn't want him touching her, not even her hand. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Huo Qinglin had no choice but to release her, but his expression betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction from being rejected.

"Banxia, it's rare to have such a good opportunity. Could you be a little warmer? Don't keep a cold face. I promise, during the banquet later, I'll give you the biggest surprise." Huo Qinglin assumed Lin Banxia's unhappiness stemmed from his not having proposed yet.

Lin Banxia reluctantly forced out a smile. "Qinglin, I've always been waiting for you to surprise me. Don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you." Huo Qinglin said confidently. The engagement ring he bought was something even the wealthiest families would struggle to afford. He truly went all out.

In order to secure the property deed, he was willing to risk it all.

Lin Banxia kept pace at Huo Qinglin's side, her petite and elegant figure paired with her sweet, compliant expression, giving the impression of a woman immersed in the depths of love.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, near the railing, a pair of deep, unreadable eyes were firmly locked onto her captivating silhouette.

The man's striking and handsome face was shrouded in a layer of frost. His thin lips were tightly pressed, and his firm, sensual jaw was clenched.

He resembled a wild beast ready to erupt at any moment, fixated on prey that had been stolen from him.

Lin Banxia felt slightly uneasy, as if a gaze were persistently following her like a shadow.

She turned back to look, yet found nothing no matter how hard she tried.

Strange, was she imagining things?

Qi Han walked over to Huo Yanting's side, noticing that the young master's face was as cold and terrifying as ice. Then he glanced at the lobby downstairs, where Lin Banxia was blooming in smiles, trailing beside Huo Qinglin and exchanging polite nods and smiles with a group of wealthy young heirs.

Uh, does this mean the young master is jealous?

"Young Master, all the major shareholders are already in the meeting room waiting. The meeting starts in five minutes," Qi Han quietly reminded.

Huo Yanting's dark eyes narrowed tightly, and he let out a cold snort.

"The Chairman is also waiting..." Qi Han added in a low voice.

Only then did Huo Yanting unclench the large hand gripping tightly onto the railing, inch by inch. His expression remained icy as he strode toward the meeting room.

For the entire afternoon, Lin Banxia kept up her false smile, though she had no idea what had come over Huo Qinglin. He seemed unusually attentive toward her.

His face was adorned with a constant smile, and his tone of voice toward her carried an inexplicable tenderness.

Lin Banxia thought to herself, he's just pretending, acting—only to create the illusion for others that he dotes on her.

That must be it. In her previous life, wasn't he just like this before marriage?

Everyone thought they were together because of love.

But after marriage, everything had turned upside down. He became distant, relegating her to the cold palace of a resentful wife.

Night after night, he showered his affections on his various new lovers, including, of course, Lu Huan Ning.

The mere thought of Lu Huan Ning's shameless deceit made Lin Banxia gnash her teeth in fury.

No, she must take revenge on this brazen woman and make her understand the meaning of shame.
