Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 118: Give her the key to his heart

The cool surface touched her skin, giving her goosebumps. Qin Zhuzhu slowly opened her palm to see a metal key. She looked at him confusedly.

"Keep it and don’t lose it. I’ll leave it to you,"

Qin Zhuzhu looked at the key and then back to him. His eyes held a soft and tender gaze whenever he looked at her. She found him growing weirder and weirder as the days passed.

Every time when she sees her, her heart would jump and become uneasy. What was this?

"What is this for?" She asked. She still wondered why he has come to see her. The fake relationship between them was over so there was no reason for them to meet each other.

"My everything," he replied.

Such a reply.... It was easy to misunderstand his intentions. Qin Zhuzhu wondered if he was in the right state of mind right now.

"Little Pearl, are you willing to come back to my side?" He suddenly asked.

"Cough.....cough.....cough," Qin Zhuzhu almost spat out her tea in fright.

He was still looking at her patiently. She wiped the corners of her lips nervously.

"Why? Because your grandpa likes me?" She questioned cautiously. She originally wanted to say that it could be because of the mysterious relationship between her grandfather and his. But she decided not to reveal that.

"No, not because of anyone or anything," Shentu Jing sounded serious.

Eh, this question was a bit tricky. How was she going to get herself out of this one?

"By your side you meant to marry you or sleep with you?" She inquired without caring how ambiguous her words might have sounded.

He frowned, crossing a leg over the other.

"Marry me," he answered. His answer was very straightforward. It also sounded overbearing and domineering.

It caught her off balance. She cleared her throat and drank some tea while avoiding his intense gaze.

"Shentu Jing, I can’t marry you," she rejected him straightforwardly.

She couldn’t wait to see him out the door to avoid all these strange questions. It would be even strange if she kept quiet and ignore him.

"Why? Do you still like Xu Meng?" He asked.

"What?! No, no, no!" She waved. "It’s not because of anyone. It’s just that I need... I want..."

"Want what?" He was strangely patient towards her. He leaned forward, closer to her. The distance between them decreased.

Qin Zhuzhu was almost mesmerized by his gorgeous peach blossom eyes. She found herself liking his eyes more and more as the days passed by.

"I want to revive the Qin Group and fulfil my grandpa’s last wish. I... Want to achieve many things," she told him. There was so many things she has yet to tell him about.

"You can have a better life with me. I’ll give you everything you want. I’ll treat you as the one and only in my life. I will even make those who despised you and humilated you regret it,"

Qin Zhuzhu was shocked silly by his words. He would do that for her? Nevertheless, she shook any of those redundant nonsensical thoughts that she was starting to have, away.

"Thanks but I don’t need. Perhaps, I would never get married in this life. I’m not the perfect one for someone high and mighty as you, Mr Shentu. My reputation is very bad. You don’t need to treat me this nice. Thank you for your kind offer," she looked away, unable to meet his eyes

Her answer stabbed at his heart, gnawing at his flesh. But still, he smiled at her as if nothing has happened.

"I understand. It’s late. I have to go. Good night,"

"Good night," she watched as he made his way out the door.

Once he was gone, Qin Zhuzhu leaned back in her sofa and let out a breath of relief. That was awkward and frightening. What was she going to do if he asked her again next time?

It was midnight when Shentu Jing returned to Skyward Peak Residence.

He remembered that he had some unfinished work to do so he went to the office.

Han Juexian and Ding Yu were waiting for him as per his instructions.

"Boss, that key is the only one. What did you do to it?" Han Juexian asked. Ding Yu hopped behind his brother Han.

"I gave it to her," Shentu Jing replied.

"What?!"

"Boss gave lady boss the key to his heart!" Han Juexian exclaimed, causing everyone to overheard them and rumours to fly.

There were still some workers and janitors on the night shift. They looked at the Han Juexian from afar. Some could be seen gossiping.

It was only after one hour, these workers and janitors will go back home.

Luo Yue wanted to make these two shut up. They were getting our of hand with each passing day. So Luo Yue pulled their ears.

"Ah!!! My lord Luo, please let me go!" Han Juexian cried and begged.

"Brother Luo, I won’t do that again!" Ding Yu also begged and pouted pitifully.

Luo Yue, who couldn’t stand the cuteness of Ding Yu, let him go. He gave Han Juexian a light kick in the back of his knees.

"Brother Luo, you’re very violent recently. What has gotten into you? Did a demon possess your soul?" Han Juexian teased him.

"There are only two little Demons standing in front of me," Luo Yue crossed his arms.

The next day, Shentu Jing boarded his private jet. He looked around, trying to see if Qin Zhuzhu was there to send him off. But he couldn’t see her anywhere at all. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Inexplicable gloom and frost hung over his head. With each step he took into the jet, he would imagine hearing her voice calling him from behind. Every now and then, he would turn and look over his shoulders.

Han Juexian and Ding Yu had to stay behind to finish some task.

"Boss, what are looking for? It is lady boss?" Han Juexian called.

"Nothing," flickers of emotions flitted across his dark pupils before his gaze became dark and unfathomable.
