Chapter 327: Okay, let's get married.
Chapter 327: Okay, let's get married.
Shen Weilai was so anxious that he almost reached out and pulled the words out of Shen Jinzhao's mouth.
"sorry."
Shen Weilai glared at him, then reached out and tugged at Shen Jinzhao again, suppressing his anger as he warned, "Shen Jinzhao!"
From his elevated position, Zhao Jinming could clearly see Shen Jinzhao's subconscious attempts to avoid Shen Weilai.
She had come to loathe Shen Weilai to the extreme.
Zhao Jinming, who seemed to know everything, suddenly said, "I'd like to speak with Miss Shen alone. Is that convenient?"
His tone seemed to be one of discussion and inquiry, but his assistant behind him had already made a "please" gesture.
Silently chasing people away.
Shen Weilai could only agree repeatedly, and before leaving, he whispered a worried reminder, "Don't say anything carelessly."
The door was closed.
A moment of silence returned to the room.
But the invisible sense of oppression and the lingering suffocation from Shen Weilai did not dissipate.
Zhao Jinming did not speak first.
She simply found a seat and sat down, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Shen Jinzhao.
What kept replaying in Shen Jinzhao's mind was the scene of her passionately confessing her love to Zhao Jinming.
And what about those who are barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes?
Why……
Why didn't she ever think that it would be so embarrassing after her identity was exposed?
"Young Master Zhao..."
Finally, she broke the silence with a guilty and timid murmur.
Zhao Jinming couldn't help but laugh. "Not pretending not to recognize me anymore? Now what?"
Very well, he's very good at whipping people.
Do you still admire me? Do you still love me so much that you can't help yourself?
Shen Jinzhao wished he could start digging a hole right here, using both his hands and feet.
Let's just jump in.
Zhao Jinming sat up slightly. "So you recognized me at a glance in Jiangbei, but how are you so sure I didn't recognize you?"
Shen Jinzhao felt guilty and spoke in a low voice to make it seem more sincere in admitting his mistake.
"It turns out you really didn't recognize me. If you had recognized me, even if you're incredibly magnanimous, you wouldn't have remained so expressionless, would you?"
She analyzed the situation rationally, becoming more and more confident as she spoke, "Besides, I also think that you can find plenty of marriage partners with similar family backgrounds to mine. My father will definitely give up a lot of benefits to appease the Zhao family, so you probably won't hold me against me."
"Judging from your tone, you're quite proud?" Zhao Jinming raised an eyebrow, saying with a playful tone, "It feels like you've already forgiven you on my behalf."
Shen Jinzhao's thought process suddenly took a dramatic turn, "No, no..."
“It was indeed something I had planned long ago to elope, but I just didn’t want to be arranged like this in a daze, and I did want to stand up to my family. But I didn’t expect that chat log to be exposed. I didn’t intend to humiliate you at first.”
These are Shen Jinzhao's honest words.
Zhao Jinming tilted his head. "But you don't seem to have any regrets at all."
That's the truth.
Shen Jinzhao said, "I have never regretted running away from the wedding, but that doesn't mean my apology to you is insincere."
“My running away from the wedding stemmed from my dissatisfaction with my father and with this arrangement. As for you, I admit this is an undeserved misfortune for you. Coupled with the rumors circulating outside, I have some prejudice against you.”
"No matter what, it was indeed my fault. I am very sorry for the damage to your reputation. If you need any compensation from me, I will do everything within my power to do so."
She blinked her innocent-looking big eyes, appearing extremely sincere.
Zhao Jinming was momentarily stunned.
He whispered, "Make it up to me?"
"yes."
She has already made herself feel better.
The guilt and insecurity I felt earlier have vanished.
A glimmer of starlight replaced the darkness in her eyes.
It inexplicably made the indoor lighting a bit brighter.
Zhao Jinming stared at Shen Jinzhao quietly for more than ten seconds.
Tan Yingyou's deep eyes held a complex mix of emotions that Chen Jinzhao couldn't decipher.
She seemed a little hesitant, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked somewhat timid.
"Is there...is there something on my face?"
"How about we remarry?"
The two sentences rang out almost simultaneously.
Shen Jinchao's action of rubbing his face suddenly froze.
She thought she must be hallucinating. "What?"
Zhao Jinming had no intention of repeating himself a second time, and said decisively, "You heard me right."
"Don't you have PTSD?"
Zhao Jinming leaned back on the sofa, his posture more relaxed, and instead of answering, asked, "Are you planning to run away from your second marriage?"
There's no escaping it.
Having learned this lesson, Shen Weilai will be being lenient by not tying her to the engagement party next time.
She probably doesn't have the right timing, location, or people to make her move.
Zhao Jinming lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within.
"Therefore, marrying me is the best choice for both of us. I will forgive and forget, and I can avoid the trouble of being pressured to get married. And you—"
His voice lacked its usual nonchalant tone; it was so rational that it didn't sound like he was entrusting his future to someone else, but rather like someone listing favorable conditions for cooperation at a negotiating table.
"I've asked myself honestly, and I think I made a good choice. I was a bit wild when I was younger, I had casual relationships but not promiscuous ones, and my medical reports are all normal."
"I've settled down for a long time now, and after marriage I will prioritize my family. We will respect each other and treat each other with courtesy. There will be no scandals to embarrass you. Of course, I know that Ms. Shen also loves freedom."
He tossed out a document, which his assistant had left behind.
At first, Shen Jinzhao thought that Zhao Jinming had brought this document out of the conference room.
But at this moment, after the document was opened from her palm, Shen Jinzhao realized that it was something he had shown to her.
The thick stack of documents at the top is about Shen Jinzhao's life.
This time, he finally got to truly understand Shen Jinzhao.
She loves skiing, mountain climbing, all kinds of outdoor sports, and also enjoys the glitz and glamour of the night.
She has climbed to the top of snow-capped mountains to see the earth covered in silver, and she has also partied with her girlfriends until midnight in nightclubs where money is spent like water.
Below her information was a marriage agreement.
After making sure she saw it and understood the title, Zhao Jinming continued, "So we're getting married by agreement, soon, just three years. Three years is enough for me to smoothly take over and operate the Shen family steadily. I'll have enough peace and quiet during these three years, and so will you."
"After three years, you are free to decide whether to stay or leave the marriage. If we divorce, I will give you hundreds of millions in settlement money. You can use yourself as capital and naturally you will no longer be subject to your father's control."
"In conclusion, Miss Shen, you may want to reconsider."
Shen Jinzhao stood there, stunned.
so……
He is...
Proposal?
Use a cooperative tone.
Shen Jinzhao is beautiful, and she has been confessed to many times since she was a child.
He showered her with sweet words, wishing he could create a paradise of love for her.
This is the first time I've heard such a return to simplicity.
Of course, Zhao Jinming's intention in telling her these things had absolutely nothing to do with confessing his feelings.
But... there's just an inexplicable disconnect.
Is he really not out of his mind?
"You really don't hold grudges at all? I did embarrass you a bit once."
“I do hold grudges,” Zhao Jinming said frankly. “But I think you’re more interesting. Spending the next three years with you won’t be too boring.”
"If Miss Shen has any other concerns, please feel free to bring them up."
Shen Jinzhao truthfully replied, "I just feel it's too sudden."
She just wanted to go through the motions of apologizing in Hong Kong; she didn't intend to get herself involved.
But……
Shen Jinzhao felt like he had been tricked.
Her heart started racing for no reason.
It wasn't because of a flutter of the heart, but rather the excitement stemming from the thoughts deep within my own heart.
She actually...
The answer is already available.
Although Zhao Jinming was no good, he himself had been studying abroad and his romantic feelings had almost turned to dust.
In this respect, they are even.
Besides, Zhao Jinming's face seems to be a perfect match no matter how you look at it.
Most importantly—
It was Zhao Jinming's promise to prioritize the family and respect each other.
And it's only been three years.
She traded three years for a lifetime of peace and quiet, completely severing ties with Shen Weilai—it was an incredibly worthwhile deal.
As his thoughts became clearer, Shen Jinzhao felt that his current idea had reached its peak, so he decided to put it into practice.
She's not the type to dawdle or hesitate.
Shen Jinzhao pulled his ID card out of his pocket: "Okay, settled!"
