Chapter 255 Why did you choose me in the end?
Only then did she react and quickly picked up the men's ring.
She held up Ji Bingqian's hand.
Xu Yueqing carefully put the ring on his ring finger.
Just right.
Two hands wearing the same ring are placed side by side.
The carriage was quiet.
The light from the ring seemed brighter than before.
The reality of being married finally came flooding back at this moment.
Xu Yueqing's heart beat a little faster, and her hands became nervous.
She looked at the priceless ring on his hand, then touched her own, her lips moved, and she spoke in a small voice.
"I'm sorry, I haven't prepared any wedding gifts."
Ji Bingqian's deep voice sounded in the car.
“No preparation is needed.”
He looked at her, her somewhat bewildered face reflected in his dark eyes.
“Having you is the greatest gift.”
Xu Yueqing's heart seemed to be hit lightly by something and skipped a beat.
She clenched the marriage certificate in her hand, leaving shallow marks on the red cover from her fingertips.
Own her?
Aren’t they just a transaction, a cooperation where both sides get what they want?
He needed a wife to deal with the family, and she needed a shelter and his resources to treat her mother's illness.
From the beginning to the end, it should be, and only be, a transaction.
But his words now, and the action of him putting the ring on her finger, made the boundaries of this transaction blurred.
It seemed to have deviated from the track she had expected.
Ji Bingqian took in the confusion in her eyes.
He didn't give her time to think about it anymore. He held her hand with the ring on it and pulled her closer to him.
The distance between the two people shortened instantly.
The crisp woody scent of his body enveloped her even more clearly.
"Xu Yueqing," he looked into her eyes and said word by word, "When I proposed to you to cooperate in marriage, it was indeed for our mutual benefit."
Xu Yueqing's heart sank. It was indeed so.
But before she could calm down, she heard him change the subject.
"But during this time with you, I've discovered." He paused, his deep gaze fixed on her, "I don't think I want to just cooperate anymore."
The air seemed to freeze.
Xu Yueqing's mind went blank, and she didn't immediately react to the message in this sentence.
Don't want to just collaborate anymore?
What does that mean?
Ji Bingqian did not force her, but just gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. The cold ring felt clearly on her skin.
"So you're willing?"
His voice was very soft, but it was like a stone that caused ripples in her heart.
"Start a real marriage with me."
True marriage...
These four words lingered in Xu Yueqing's mind.
Does this mean that Ji Bingqian has feelings for her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it herself.
How is that possible?
He is Ji Bingqian, a figure at the top of the pyramid in the Beijing circle.
And what is she? Xu Yueqing, a penniless person who has crawled out of the mire.
There is a huge gap between them.
How could he like himself?
It was a long time later, so long that Xu Yueqing thought it was just an illusion, that she finally found her voice.
“Why did you choose me in the end?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp thought suddenly pierced his mind. It was Xu Yingluo's harsh words.
Her eyes suddenly dimmed and she added self-deprecatingly.
"Is it because I'm easy to control and have a simple background, so you need a woman like this, an obedient Mrs. Ji, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the car dropped several degrees.
