Chapter 75 Because I Love You
Jiang Xu's body was shaking slightly.
"He Yanting, you lunatic, aren't you just after the shares? I've already talked to grandma, and she and grandpa will give you the shares as soon as possible."
A trace of confusion flashed across He Yanting's eyes: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Xu said, "Why are you pretending? You're suddenly being so attentive to me just to get shares in the group. You want this child just to use the child as a bargaining chip to get shares."
"I've already made an agreement with Grandma. She'll give you shares. You don't need to be so obsessed with this child anymore."
She stared at He Yanting's narrow eyes, as deep as the sea, and said word by word:
"He Yanting, after you get the shares, please let me go. As for how to deal with the child, that's my business. Don't worry about it."
He Yanting listened to her quietly.
There was silence for more than ten seconds, and Jiang Xu's scalp was numb from being stared at by him.
Suddenly, he laughed.
That expression was as if he had heard some huge joke.
"So, during this time, I was nice to you, and you thought it was because I wanted shares in the group?"
Jiang Xu turned away: "Isn't it?"
With her chin pinched, He Yanting forced her to face him. His eyes were like torches, shining brightly.
"Jiang Xu, listen carefully. I treat you well. It has nothing to do with shares. It's just because—"
His Adam's apple rolled slightly and he choked.
"I love you."
These three words were like a heavy hammer, making Jiang Xu dizzy.
I thought I was hallucinating.
She looked at the man in front of her, whose face was so handsome that it was beyond words.
His tone and expression were so calm, so calm that it made her feel a fear in her heart.
All his changes have nothing to do with interests?
But how is that possible?
All that she had experienced in her previous life made her instinctively deny this possibility.
"You're lying." She said to He Yanting.
A frustrated expression appeared on He Yanting's face.
He hugged Jiang Xu tightly, lowered his head, rested his forehead on her shoulder blade, and said in an almost pleading posture and tone:
"Ruanruan, believe me. I know I've hurt you before, but there were reasons for that. I've never changed my attitude towards you."
Jiang Xu found it funny: "What's the reason?"
He Yanting pursed his lips and remained silent.
Jiang Xu laughed out loud: "Do you need me to give you some time to make up a good lie?"
He Yanting slowly closed his eyes.
Breathing in the unique faint fragrance of ginger.
It was quiet like this for a long time, so long that Jiang Xu thought he was asleep.
He suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "Ruanruan, stay by my side and give birth to this child. I can agree to any condition you give me, even—"
He placed her hand on her chest where her heart was and said firmly, "If you want my life, I will give it to you."

After his mother returned to China, Jiang Xu often went home to see her.
But every time He Yanting would send bodyguards to follow her, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Even so, she felt much better after chatting and acting coquettishly with her mother.
Several times she couldn't help but want to tell him about her pregnancy.
But in the end I held back.
The fetus is less than three months old now, so if there is a chance, surgery can still be performed.
Jiang Xu still spends most of her time studying, both in the office and at home. When she is concentrating, He Yanting will be forgotten.
Only occasionally, when I was tired from studying and looked up to relax my shoulders and neck, my eyes would always meet He Yanting's.
He held the document in his hand, but his narrow eyes were fixed on her.
It was the look of a hunter staring at his prey with relentless determination, which made people feel creepy.
That morning, as soon as he arrived at the company, He Yanting left in a hurry.
Jiang Xu didn't bother to care where he went and just focused on studying.
Tired of studying, she went out for a walk and happened to meet Luna coming out of the elevator.
Perhaps because she had the good fortune to go on a business trip with He Yanting, Luna has been very arrogant recently, with her chin held higher than ever before.
Seeing Jiang Xu, she snorted and didn't even bother to look at him.
It seemed that in her eyes, Jiang Xu was not worthy of being compared with her.
Around noon, He Yanting came back from outside and took out an exquisite blue velvet ring box from his pocket.
"Ruanruan, give me your hand."
Jiang Xu sat there without moving.
He Yanting grabbed her hand, opened the ring box, and took out a pink diamond ring.
The huge pink diamond on the ring is dazzling and it is obvious that it is worth a lot of money.
Realizing what he was about to do, Jiang Xu subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.
He Yanting raised his eyelids and looked at her: "Do you want me to kneel down and propose to you?"
"It's not a real marriage, so there's no need for this."
Jiang Xu lowered his head and said.
He Yanting grabbed her hand with a little force and put the ring on her despite her objection.
"Yeah, just right, your size is still the same as before."
He Yanting smiled softly, "When I saw this diamond at the auction, I knew it would look great on you."
Jiang Xu looked at the ring on her ring finger.
Does it look good? Of course.
Her fingers are slender and white, and the pink diamonds make them look even more noble.
But she didn't feel happy at all. She just felt that the ring was like a prisoner's shackles, trapping her to He Yanting.
Gao Cheng knocked on the door outside to remind He Yanting that it was time for a meeting.
"I'll always wear it from now on."
He Yanting kissed Jiang Xu's fingertips and turned to leave.
In the afternoon, an important guest came to Norton Group. Since Jiang Xu spoke English very well, she was responsible for the reception.
While waiting on the first floor, Luna suddenly noticed the ring on her hand.
He immediately said sarcastically, "Why are you wearing fake diamonds? They're so cheap. Did you hear that Mr. He bought a pink diamond abroad, so you fantasized about having one yourself?"
Jiang Xu said calmly: "This is true."
Luna burst out laughing. "You take me for a fool? Do you know how much a pink diamond this big costs? You lie without blinking an eye."
Jiang Xu didn't explain anything further.
Luna took another peek and snorted: I have to say, the fake ring is quite shiny and looks like the real one.
But fake is fake, no matter how real it is, it is still fake.
Soon, people from the Norton Group arrived. They were a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners in well-tailored suits, with an exceptionally strong aura.
The visitors this time were the president of Norton Group and the daughter of his vice president. Jiang Xu did not dare to neglect them and took the whole process seriously.
When they arrived at the reception room on the top floor, Jiang Xu settled them down.
Gao Cheng told her that He Yanting's meeting would end in twenty minutes and asked her to stay and chat for a while.
Jiang Xu poured them tea, then politely asked if they were tired from the journey and whether they had booked a hotel.
When Rose, the president's daughter, took the tea from Jiang Xu, her eyes fell on the pink diamond in her hand and she widened in surprise.
"Dear, is this the Eternal Love?"
Jiang Xu was about to answer when Luna, who was helping out, spoke first: "Ms. Rose, that's a fake diamond ring on her hand. The real Eternal Love is in the hands of our President He."
Rose looked puzzled and asked Jiang Xu, "Can you show me?"
Jiang Xu took off the ring and gave it to her.
Rose examined it carefully, showed it to her father, and said to Luna, "I can't be mistaken. This Eternal Love was originally a treasured piece in our family. It was just bought by Mr. He some time ago."
She smiled at Jiang Xu: "So it was made into a wedding ring and given to this beautiful lady."
