Chapter 149: Chapter 149

"What?" Hua Xiaomo was completely dumbfounded as she looked at him, her mind unable to comprehend what he was saying.

What did he mean? Why was he saying these things to her? Good heavens, it was truly incomprehensible. Did he really want to marry her? And that was utterly unacceptable. She was supposed to marry him, but how could she marry him? She couldn’t marry him; the one she liked wasn’t him. She really didn’t like him. She felt the person she liked wasn’t his type. She liked Brother Long—someone scholarly and refined, someone who could give her a sense of security, certainly not someone like Qi Longbing. She thought Qi Longbing was fickle-hearted and unreliable. She didn’t like him. How could she avoid marrying him? She felt that him telling her to marry him was like talking about a fantasy. She really didn’t like him at all. Oh, she really disliked him! What was she to do? But if she didn’t agree, then she and Brother Long would end up in prison again. Oh dear, she couldn’t go to prison! She had just graduated—no, she was about to graduate. Especially since she needed to retrieve her diploma from Long Bin, she couldn’t give up halfway, nor could she afford to go to prison. She had to get her diploma from Long Bin.

And she needed to keep working well to make lots of money to support her mother. That’s right, she was supposed to marry Brother Long. She was going to marry Brother Long, not Qi Longbing! She wouldn’t marry that ’lead from a documentary film,’ that Jiulong Wall, certainly not if it felt like a mere transaction! Her future days would then possibly be so tragic and bleak. She didn’t like that sort of life. She liked being with Brother Long. She felt a sense of peace when she was with him, something she believed others couldn’t offer. With Brother Long, she felt so comfortable, so at ease. But how could Qi Longbing ever give her that feeling? The feeling he gave was simply loathsome. Yes, she really found Qi Longbing detestable.

She couldn’t be with Qi Longbing. She didn’t know what to say. She truly felt that being with Qi Longbing brought her no joy. The one she liked was Brother Long. She felt Brother Long met all her criteria and fit her marital preferences. She thought Brother Long could give her a happy life. Yes, Brother Long was the perfect man in her eyes. Brother Long’s appearance was extremely handsome, and his personality was also very good. Overall, she thought Brother Long was the one for her. No one could compare to her Brother Long. Yes, that was how it was. No one could measure up to her Brother Long; he was the most perfect man in the world. And Qi Longbing did not appeal to her in the slightest. Qi Longbing was always that kind of irresponsible playboy. Okay, he was wealthy, but she didn’t want his money. She only wanted her Brother Long, only wanted to be with her Brother Long!

"Don’t you understand? You fool!" Qi Longbing laughed, his eyes aglow with a bewitching light.

"You fool, I like you!" Qi Longbing laughed beautifully, his stunningly handsome face radiating 360 degrees of flawless perfection.

This fool had somehow unknowingly stolen his heart. Okay, he felt he really liked Hua Xiaomo. He felt Hua Xiaomo should be with him. But there was a feeling he couldn’t quite express. Could he provide Hua Xiaomo with a better life? What would it take to get her to agree to be with him? But now, it seemed Wang Xiaomo still had some hesitation, and he didn’t know what she was hesitating about. With someone as excellent as himself, how could she not like him? So many women wanted to like him. So many women wanted to be his girlfriend. But he didn’t like them. He now found himself exclusively drawn to this somewhat strange girl, Hua Xiaomo. He hoped she might grow to like him, and he also dearly wished she would marry him. If Hua Xiaomo could marry him, he promised to give her the best life. But how could he know whether she would marry him? He felt a bit confused. He wondered if she would marry him, and his mind was even more troubled. Okay, no matter what, he would wait for her. He would wait for her to agree to him.

He went on to add, "You can’t tell me you don’t even know what liking someone means!"

"This..." Hua Xiaomo was so shocked she was at a loss for words.

She tilted her head and quickly turned her face away, rendered speechless. Her brows furrowed deeply, unable to utter a word. Only the jagged short hair partly covered her cheek, and the diamond studs at her ears shone with an alluring luster, captivating men’s souls and sending their minds into a whirl.

Seeing her reluctance, Qi Longbing laughed lightheartedly, "Xiao Mo, do you really not want to marry me? Really, think about it!"

As he spoke, Qi Longbing held her petite hand, caressing it with a gentle strength. All of a sudden, his spirits lifted.

Hua Xiaomo was speechless, her cheeks turning red from the heat. However, could she really marry him? But she truly didn’t want to marry him. She didn’t even like him. How could she marry him!?

One month... This month’s torture was just like being in purgatory!

Qi Longbing watched her, getting a bit lost in her gaze, not aware of how much time had passed.

Finally, she briskly walked away from him.

The discomfort on her face almost made her pass out.

But the tender words came through, coated with a magical power, "Hua Xiaomo, do you really like me?"

However, in a mere instant, she firmly grasped his hands, and her words came through clearly, "President Qi... you remember what you said, right?"

Qi Longbing smiled...

With one hand, he stroked her cheek. Unsurprisingly, she still turned her face away. But those crystal-clear beads of tears were overflowing from the bottom of her heart, enthralling Qi Longbing completely.

"Of course, I haven’t forgotten. Don’t worry, I won’t let you go to jail," Qi Longbing said with a devilish smile, his eyes full of intoxication.

Hua Xiaomo reflexively sprang up from the sofa and rushed towards the bathroom in the room.

Qi Longbing’s smile bloomed like flowers, admiring her silhouette as she walked away, still so graceful and lithe, beautifully slender!

Qi Longbing comfortably reclined on the deep, plush sofa, a sense of ease spread across his face. His eyes were half-closed, watching the bathroom door, imagining how she might be retching violently inside.

In the bathroom, GUSH, GUSH, GUSH, the water flowed incessantly.

Hua Xiaomo leaned over the basin, but it seemed all her efforts were in vain.
