Chapter 8: Jerk Changes Strategy
Huo Qinglin's heart sank—since when did Lin Banxia start using her brain?
Just a few days ago, she was buzzing around him like an annoying fly that refused to leave.
Now, she not only disagreed about handing over the property deed but was also carefully reconsidering their marriage.
Could this woman have sensed something? Or maybe this was just a temporary plan—if he worked harder to please her, she would eventually hand over the deed?
"Banxia, what are you saying? Qinglin is not that kind of person, is he? Qinglin comes from a noble family, has been well-bred since childhood—he absolutely wouldn't do anything reckless like what you're saying. You just need to relax and marry him. I promise, Qinglin will be an excellent husband," Lin Kunhuai stammered, nearly dying of fright from his daughter's bold words that almost offended Huo Qinglin.
Lin Banxia sneered coldly inside—her father's eyes must have serious problems to make such guarantees about something like this.
Weren't this pair of despicable adulterers already making their feelings obvious?
Even she, as an insider, had seen through them—and yet her father, an outsider, remained utterly clueless. Clearly, he was blinded by profit.
"Uncle, don't get upset. I trust Banxia would never go back on her word. It's just that I haven't made her feel my love yet. Banxia being cautious about our marriage is a good thing—it shows she's not a frivolous girl," Huo Qinglin stepped in at just the right moment to smooth things over, then gazed at Lin Banxia with an expression of indulgence.
Lin Banxia felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit. Oh, really!
"Dad, look at how much Qinglin cares for me! No matter what I say, he'll indulge me," Lin Banxia deliberately laughed sweetly.
