Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?-Chapter 924 - 376: Love Set on Ye Jinyan, a Windfall of 50 Million! (Mega - )
"You might find this hard to believe right now, but you’ll understand in a moment!"
Ye Jinyan paused for a moment, then blinked her beautiful eyes: "Although your words sound a bit boastful, given your previous track record, I’ll choose to believe you for now."
"But you still need to think it over, someday in the future... you might have to marry me?"
Zhang Jingdong’s heart tightened instantly, but he quickly came up with a rough plan, and besides, he was indeed feeling a bit overwhelmed now.
So he just nodded: "This... is not a problem!"
When Ye Jinyan heard this, a hint of undisguisable joy appeared in her eyes: "Alright, since you’ve even agreed to this, then... I’m willing to accept the consequences of the bet!"
"...Come with me."
Zhang Jingdong sensed Ye Jinyan’s determination and followed her to her bedroom.
Her room was large, even bigger than Yan Ning’s, over 100 square meters!
To the left of the entrance was a workspace, with a large bookshelf against the wall and a rustic desk beside it.
In the center of the room was a large bed, beyond which was a classic chaise longue, and finally, a beautiful guzheng stood on the balcony.
The most impressive part of the room was the full-wall floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony.
It made the room feel as if it was one with the West Lake, as if the lake was this room’s living room.
The feeling was truly wonderful!
Originally quite anxious, Zhang Jingdong calmed down as he took in the scene, and he developed a deeper admiration for Ye Jinyan’s taste as a prestigious heiress.
He walked over to the bookshelf, browsing the books as he said, "This is impressive, moving the study into the bedroom."
Although Ye Jinyan was prepared for whatever with Zhang Jingdong, she was somewhat conflicted, as this was a lifelong matter for her.
She had faith in Zhang Jingdong’s capabilities and talents, but from their first meeting to bringing him to her room, it had only been less than a week.
Everything was progressing too fast!
Although she never stuck to tradition in business, she was from a very wealthy family with a strict traditional upbringing, and tonight’s actions were seriously against her family’s rules.
The most crucial part was that she still didn’t fully understand Zhang Jingdong.
So when she saw Zhang Jingdong wasn’t acting hastily, she was slightly relieved, secretly giving him more credit.
She confessed, "For some reason, I couldn’t read in a study since I was young, but in my bedroom, I could read with great interest, so I simply ditched the study and set up a small reading area in my bedroom."
Zhang Jingdong noticed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the third shelf, casually saying, "I didn’t expect you to read Jin Yong’s wuxia novels."
Ye Jinyan pursed her lips, "It used to be said that men read Jin Yong and women read Qiongyao. I never felt much for Auntie Qiongyao’s works, but later found Jin Yong’s stories quite interesting."
Zhang Jingdong nonchalantly asked, "Which male protagonist in Jin Yong’s novels is your favorite?"
"If we’re just talking about favorites... it would naturally be Yang Guo."
"But if you had to choose someone to marry, who would it be?"
Ye Jinyan thought seriously and said, "...Qiao Feng."
"Qiao Feng?" Zhang Jingdong burst into laughter, "Why? I thought you might choose Guo Jing."
"Guo Jing’s too dull. Qiao Feng has both heroic and romantic sides, and most importantly, he’s very responsible."
Zhang Jingdong nodded instinctively, "Indeed, that’s true."
Ye Jinyan then looked at Zhang Jingdong, "How about you? Among all Jin Yong’s female leads, who do you like the most?"
Zhang Jingdong barely hesitated, "Ren Yingying."
A flash of brilliance passed through Ye Jinyan’s eyes, but quickly followed by a bit of tension, "If you had to marry one, who would you choose?"
Zhang Jingdong still didn’t hesitate, "Still Ren Yingying."
Ye Jinyan’s lips curled into a sweet smile, "Why?"
Zhang Jingdong replied sincerely, "Because marrying other women, you might have to spend your whole life with just her, with almost no other content in life."
"But if I married Ren Yingying, life would still be rich in content. She could stand on her own for you and also retreat to a humble alley to share life with harmony."
Ye Jinyan was thoroughly delighted because among all of Jin Yong’s novels, her two favorite female leads were Zhao Min and Ren Yingying, and in her heart, she felt that Ren Yingying was more similar to herself.
Besides, she could tell Zhang Jingdong’s answer was genuine and spontaneous, as there’s no way he could have known in advance and said it just to please her.
As she felt secretly pleased, Zhang Jingdong suddenly noticed the deluxe illustrated edition of "The Golden Lotus" on the fifth shelf.
Initially, he thought he was mistaken, but after careful confirmation, he realized it was indeed the "The Golden Lotus" by Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng he had read years ago.
He chuckled to himself and took the book down.
He turned to Ye Jinyan with a meaningful smile, "Your reading is quite broad, even including such profound novels!"
