After Uncle Lian left, Li Ruochu waited for a chance to speak. Just as she was about to speak, Helian Qingyuâs phone rang again.
Helian Qingyu got up and picked up the phone. He walked upstairs and returned to the study to answer the call.
Li Ruochu was depressed. He was so busy that she didnât even have a chance to talk. What should she do? Today was the last day!
Upstairs, in the study.
Helian Qingyu finished his work. When he opened the door, Li Ruochu, who was leaning against the door, almost fell in.
âWhat are you doing here?â Helian Qingyu asked.
âOh, Iâ¦â
Before she could explain, Helian Qingyu grabbed her wrist and pressed her body against the wall. âAre you trying to eavesdrop on me? Or are you trying to steal secrets?â
âNo, no⦠I just wanted to discuss something with Mr. President.â
âWhat is it?â
âYou said before that you wanted to remarry meâ¦â
Helian Qingyu let her go and straightened his collar. He turned around and said, âDid I say that? Donât forget what you are now!â
ââ¦â
Li Ruochu realized that she was completely at a disadvantage now. At that time, he wanted her to remarry. When she was his wife, she was unwilling even if she died. But now, this man did not want to remarry her at all.
Fine!
Li Ruochu shouted at his back, âMr. President, youâve thought it through. If youâre not willing, then Iâll marry another man!â
Helian Qingyu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. âSay that again?â
âI mean, if the President doesnât want to marry me, Iâll marry someone else!â Li Ruochu repeated fearlessly.
âAre you threatening me?â
Helian Qingyu turned around and approached her step by step. When Li Ruochu was forced into a corner by him, she mustered her courage and said, âItâs not a threat⦠Itâs a proposal. Canât I?â
It was the first time she had seen someone propose like this.
Helian Qingyu looked at her with interest and couldnât help but smile.
âWhy are you laughing? Are you not willing?â
Li Ruochuâs hairs stood on end hearing his laughter.
Helian Qingyu placed a hand on her side and asked in a deep voice, âDo you think Iâm that stupid to think that youâre trying to use me as a shield at the last minute? What confidence do you have that I would agree to your request?â
ââ¦â
Li Ruochu was speechless. She really had no right or confidence.
It was indeed a little unkind of her to use him as a shield. But now, he was unwilling, right?
Helian Qingyu stared at her for a while. Without a word, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the stairs.
âHey! Helian Qingyu⦠why are you pulling me?â
Li Ruochu could not keep up with his long legs.
Helian Qingyu said without turning his head, âArenât we getting married? Letâs go now!â
âHmm?â
Li Ruochu was surprised. His tone just now made her think that he would not agree.
He had already said it himself. Would he be that stupid?
In fact, Helian Qingyu felt as if there were countless fireworks blooming in his heart. It was undoubtedly a rare thing to hear Li Ruochu taking the initiative to propose marriage.
So, of course, he had to drag her to the registry immediately.
Even though he knew that she was using him and treating him like a fool, he was still happy to be the fool being used.
Just like that, Li Ruochu was led out by Helian Qingyu in a panic.
