Chapter 292 Don't Regret
A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of Nie Yao's lips. She already knew the answer and didn't need Ji Minghuan's answer.
"The answer is obvious. No matter how much you deny it, the relationship between you and Nie Jinxi has long been as close as that of a couple. Before I returned to the Nie family, you always considered her as your marriage partner, and she thought so too. Am I right?"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Ji Minghuan wanted to deny it again, but he had no room for explanation.
In fact, Nie Yao had just been taken back by the Nie family, and he just treated Nie Yao as a wild girl, so he had no grudges against her and was flirting with Nie Jinxi in front of the Nie family's door, and even mocked Nie Yao!
But he never expected that Nie Yao would be publicly acknowledged by Mr. Nie as the eldest grandson's daughter, and Mr. Nie even held a grand welcome banquet for Nie Yao!
The fact that a wild girl who had just been found would receive such attention from the person in charge of the Nie family would force him to change his mind!
If Nie Yao was the one who inherited the Nie family's assets, then his marriage partner would naturally become Nie Yao, even though he and Nie Jinxi had been secretly dating for several years...
Now Nie Yao has rejected him again and again, probably because of the involvement between him and Nie Jinxi!
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan adjusted the smile on his face and answered in an earnest tone, "No one expected such a big thing to happen to the Nie family. My father and I won't blame Old Nie for concealing it. But now that Old Nie has taken you back, the marriage will naturally be between you and me!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up his coffee and jokingly said, "Your identity has been restored, and my engagement with Nie Jinxi has become an engagement between the two of us. This can be considered a natural way of setting things right, right?"
Nie Yao hadn't expected him to resort to such sophistry. She shook her head and sneered, "I don't care how your so-called engagement was made. Love is no joke, and I won't let myself become a tool for a marriage!"
Seeing her resolute tone, Ji Minghuan could no longer maintain his smile. He frowned and asked, "Nie Yao, are you going to break the contract? Do you know that this isn't just a matter between the two of us, it involves two families?"
"You and I have never made any agreement, so how can you break it?" Nie Yao sneered, shrugged, and nonchalantly suggested, "If you're worried about affecting the relationship between the two families, you can definitely marry Nie Jinxi. You've been dating for a long time anyway, and I think she'd be very happy to marry you!"
Nie Yao's nonchalant smile seemed full of sarcasm to Ji Minghuan.
Of course he knew that Nie Jinxi wanted to marry him, but he didn't expect that even though he had already humbled himself to Nie Yao, Nie Yao didn't appreciate it at all!
"Nie Yao, have you made up your mind to reject my marriage proposal?" Ji Minghuan asked in a deep voice with a cold face, looking into Nie Yao's eyes solemnly.
"That's right!" Nie Yao nodded without hesitation.
"Do you know that with just one word from my father, you might lose most of your inheritance rights to the Nie family?" Ji Minghuan coldly warned her, cup in hand, word by word, "If you don't marry me, you might get nothing!"
"So what?" Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled nonchalantly, "Do you think I care about that? Haven't I lived well these past twenty years even when I wasn't in the Nie family?"
"You—" Ji Minghuan's face suddenly darkened with anger. He clenched the cup in his hand and glared at Nie Yao fiercely for a long while before gritting his teeth and saying, "You'd better not regret what you said today!"
