Chapter 77 The Deal
This wasn't Bai Zhenzhu's first time at the amusement park; she had come with Qin Shen before.
So she wasn't very excited.
She was indifferent to everything she did, and even though her beloved was by her side, she still showed little interest.
"Pearl, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"
Don't all little girls like riding Ferris wheels? Su Yizheng thought Bai Zhenzhu should like it too.
"Okay, sure," Bai Zhenzhu replied perfunctorily.
She was a little tired, so she could go upstairs and rest for a while.
And as she sat inside the Ferris wheel, she naturally looked across.
She suddenly remembered that scene, the one where she and Qin Shen made eye contact with Shi Jin when they were on the Ferris wheel together last time.
This sudden recollection of a certain moment or a certain person can evoke a very peculiar feeling.
How to describe that feeling? It's a bit like a shooting star streaking across the sky, but you didn't have time to make a wish. Your heart clenches, you feel regret and frustration, and you suddenly feel like crying.
But she shouldn't feel such regret, frustration, or even want to cry towards Shi Jin.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a burning gaze fall upon her.
She suddenly looked up and met Shi Jin's gaze.
Their eyes met again!
But this time, Shi Jin only glanced at her indifferently before immediately lowering his head and kissing a woman's lips...
If Bai Zhenzhu wasn't mistaken, the delicate woman beneath Shi Jin was none other than Li Qianni!
Bai Zhenzhu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was frozen in place, unable to move.
"Pearl? What are you looking at?"
Su Yizheng noticed Bai Zhenzhu's unusual behavior and turned around to ask her with concern.
Bai Zhenzhu snapped back to reality, her shock barely concealed, and she could only desperately suppress it so as not to be noticed.
"I didn't see anything, senior."
"You don't look too good. Are you afraid of heights? Why don't you lean on my shoulder and warm up a bit?"
Bai Zhenzhu simply shook her head, saying nothing, her complexion still not very good.
Meanwhile, Shi Jin, once he could no longer see Bai Zhenzhu, immediately moved away from Li Qianni, creating a significant distance between them.
Disgusted, he pulled a tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped his thumb.
Because that kiss was all faked, Shi Jin pressed his thumb on Li Qianni's lips, and then he lowered his head and kissed his own thumb.
From Bai Zhenzhu's perspective, Shi Jinzhen was indeed deeply kissing Li Qianni.
"Shi Jin, do you hate me that much? You only touched my lips with your finger, and you're already so eager to wipe away my scent? Then why did you bring me to the amusement park?!"
Originally, Li Qianni had been brought to the amusement park by Shi Jin, and they had even ridden the Ferris wheel together. He had even just tried to kiss her. She felt that everything was too wonderful.
But that kiss was so obviously fake, it was a huge insult to her! It was a complete trampling on her sincerity!
Shi Jin thought Li Qianni was really noisy. How come he never noticed before that she was such an aggressive person?
He impatiently interrupted Li Qianni, saying coldly, "Li Qianni, the reason I asked you to come here today is not because I really want to go on a date with you. Don't overthink it."
"What was the purpose of that?"
"You don't need to know."
"Could it be... because of the white pearl?"
She thought she saw Bai Zhenzhu's figure at the entrance to the Ferris wheel queue, but it was just a fleeting glimpse, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
Looking back now, Shi Jin was acting very strangely today.
If she had to give a reason for Shi Jin's behavior today, she felt it must be because of Bai Zhenzhu.
Seeing that Shi Jin remained silent, Li Qianni knew she had guessed correctly.
Her voice trembled as she complained, "So, that kiss just now, was it to spite Bai Zhenzhu? Did you use me as a substitute or a shield?"
"Li Qianni, in my eyes, you are nothing."
"Ha, you really know how to insult people..." She laughed speechlessly and continued, "You like Bai Zhenzhu that much? But didn't you like me before? Weren't you going to confess to me? Why did everything suddenly change? Don't go looking for Bai Zhenzhu anymore. Let's be like before, okay?"
Li Qianni pleaded almost humbly, for she had never lowered herself like this for a man before.
Shi Jin felt annoyed, tugged at his collar, and replied coldly, "Li Qianni, I may have had some feelings for you before, but I wouldn't say I liked you that much. After all, if I really liked you, I wouldn't have been attracted to Bai Zhenzhu, let alone fallen in love with her."
"You love Bai Zhenzhu? What do you love about her? You know perfectly well that Bai Zhenzhu is deceiving you and playing you for a fool, yet you still love her?!"
"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."
Li Qianni has heard "It's none of your business" from Shi Jin countless times. The first time she heard it, she was very sad, but now, after hearing it so many times, she only feels more and more ironic.
"If it has nothing to do with me, then don't ask me to play along! Shi Jin, do you know that doing this only makes you look cheap! What kind of young master of the Shi family are you? I think you're just Bai Zhenzhu's lapdog!"
Shi Jin was furious. He grabbed Li Qianni by the neck, his fingers tightening fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Li Qianni, don't mess with me. Don't think I won't touch you. I haven't even settled the score with you for drugging me yet. If you want to die, just tell me, and I'll grant your wish!"
Li Qianni was terrified when she first saw Shi Jin being so violent.
She nodded obediently, "I, I won't do it again, please, please let me go."
Shi Jin then released his fingers, and five deep finger marks immediately appeared on Li Qianni's neck.
Just then, the Ferris wheel doors opened.
Shi Jin walked out first with steady steps, seemingly unconcerned.
Li Qianni covered her neck and followed carefully behind Shi Jin. In the end, the two left the amusement park one after the other.
Back in the car, Shi Jin, for the first time ever, took out a cigarette and started smoking.
He doesn't really like smoking, but he really wanted to today.
Li Qianni, sitting in the back seat, kept coughing from the choking noise, but Shi Jin showed no intention of stopping it.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Shi Jin's cold voice suddenly rang out, "Li Qianni, let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I'll give you a million dollars, you pretend to be my girlfriend..."
Li Qianni hesitated for only three seconds before immediately agreeing, "Okay, deal..."
Li Qianni has become addicted to drugs and needs a lot of money. She also dreams of being Shi Jin's girlfriend, even if it's just a dream.
