Chapter 360: Are You Doing It for Money Again?
Shen Congjun was utterly astonished, no, at this moment, he was not feeling well at all!
Originally, he thought Lu Beichen’s interest in her was just a momentary fling by a wealthy man, that he would soon grow tired, and then she would return to his side. Moreover, as she was rising in her career, she could also help him...
No, no, no, he shook his head!
How could Lu Beichen possibly marry her? How could he?!
Shen Congjun carefully examined the woman in front of him. Her face, as small as a palm, was impeccably fair, her eyes dark and lively. Just sitting there, she emitted an aura of clean elegance.
The slender, pale legs hidden under the table were even more enticing to him. How many nights had he fantasized about those legs wrapping firmly around his waist...
She was like a clean sheet of white paper, making you reluctant to touch her, yet you wanted to completely possess her, making her belong only to you!
No! Shen Congjun shook his head again. Even so, how could someone like Lu Beichen, who had seen all kinds of women, marry a woman of such unequal social status?!
He took a long deep breath, and asked tremblingly, "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? How could Lu Beichen marry you?"
Though he still said this, the confidence in his voice was clearly gone!
If it were fake, how could her career in the entertainment industry be soaring? Even if it were fake, it still proved that Lu Beichen cared a lot about her!
If it were true...
Shen Congjun felt as if a stone had hit his heart. He slammed his hands heavily on the table, looking down at her, "Did you call me over just to tell me you’ve married Lu Beichen, just to tell me this, right?"
He was starting to become a bit hysterical. Ji Niandong glanced around, seeing they were unnoticeable among these dignitaries. Though it was in a carved partition, it was still hidden, yet she still emphasized cautiously, "Lu Beichen and I are secretly married. If it becomes public knowledge, do you think you could walk out of Beiyuan today?"
Her nonchalant tone carried a strong sense of threat, causing Shen Congjun to instinctively lower his profile, and only after sitting down did he carefully consider her words.
Secret marriage?!
Why a secret marriage? It must be because of the disparity in social status, so they didn’t announce it publicly?! Well, wealthy people just play around. Who knows where the sons come from, what’s a few more marriages?!
For some inexplicable reason, Shen Congjun felt a bit better, a look of secret joy on his face.
Ji Niandong sensitively caught this but didn’t care. Seeing his fear, she felt nothing but disdain. She didn’t want to look at him any longer, so without further ado, she got straight to the point, "I heard that five years ago I had a car accident, and the perpetrator paid a large sum of money..."
Shen Congjun indeed showed a look of horror, "That money, your hospitalization..."
"My hospitalization did cost quite a bit!" Ji Niandong interrupted his argument, "But that sum was substantial. My father not only lived idle with me for five years but also bought the house in Ancient Garden. And you, when you hadn’t even emerged yet, could afford to study design at Lingling School. Art students have to spend a lot, right? You even bought such a big apartment in New City Garden!"
"That was my own money!" Shen Congjun stammered.
"When you said it was for our wedding home, I truly believed it was your money! Now thinking back, if it weren’t to make it our wedding home, how could my father have given such a large portion of the compensation for my life-threatening accident to you?" Ji Niandong sighed with her head held high, "The perpetrator was really generous and wealthy! No wonder I can’t remember how I got hit!"
She suddenly looked directly at Shen Congjun, "You knew all along, didn’t you?"
