"Why did you come into this room?" Chen Shanlou followed him in, scoffing, "Are you afraid I'll have ulterior motives towards you?"
"What exactly happened?" Xia Baozhu was uninterested in Chen Shanlou's rambling.
"Marry me," Chen Shanlou said, looking at Xia Baozhu and enunciating each word clearly.
"No way." Xia Baozhu was startled by Chen Shanlou's blunt words and quickly refused.
She didn't think Chen Shanlou really liked her; more importantly, she didn't like Chen Shanlou.
Aside from the fact that marrying him would allow her to openly refute his angry words, she had absolutely no intention of marrying someone like him.
Moreover, having just emerged from a failed marriage, she had no intention of entering into another one.
"Don't you think my proposal is a golden opportunity for you?" Chen Shanlou took a step forward unhurriedly.
Although he was prepared for Xia Baozhu to refuse, he still couldn't help but get angry when he heard it with his own ears.
"No, I don't think so. I don't like you like that."
This was the first time Xia Baozhu had ever seen someone propose to her with such a condescending and condescending attitude, which made her even more certain that Chen Shanlou's affection for her was merely superficial.
"What kind of guy do you like? The kind of scoundrel like Sun Xingyan who knows how to make women happy?" Chen Shanlou gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed out slightly, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
Speaking of this, Chen Shanlou could no longer suppress his anger. The way Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan walked and laughed was too irritating. She even took off her mask and smiled at him.
He originally only intended to have some fun, like before, but seeing her laughing and chatting with others, he felt an urge to possess her.
She had never laughed so happily with him, except for a fake smile.
Even if such a smile cannot be given to him, he does not want it to belong to anyone else.
"It's no use if you like him. His family is a scholarly family. Even if Sun Xingyan is a good-for-nothing, his family will never accept you!"
Chen Shanlou's tone carried a hint of sarcasm and disdain, as well as a strong sense of jealousy.
"You're overthinking it. I have no intention of getting married at all," Xia Baozhu said impatiently. "He and I are just ordinary friends."
"Women are often hypocritical; they say they don't want something, but they actually want more."
"Alright, since everything's fine, you can leave now." Xia Baozhu pointed to the door and said coldly to Chen Shanlou.
"You've been married for many years without children and are divorced. I'm the best man you can find right now. When you get older and your looks aren't outstanding anymore, it will be difficult for you to find an ordinary man."
This statement also reveals that Chen Shanlou's emotional intelligence is not very high.
"What kind of person I choose is none of your business, and I don't need you to remind me." Xia Baozhu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Didn't you say you weren't going to look for her? Now you've changed your mind again?" Shen Shanlou raised an eyebrow, looking at Xia Baozhu with a half-smile.
"Yes, I've changed my mind." Xia Baozhu said in anger, "But I won't look for you no matter what."
"Then you try it. Find someone I can make you regret it."
"Are you sick? My business is none of your concern."
"This is a serious matter. Unless you marry me, you can expect the person you like to suffer."
"Since you know I can't have children, why did you still make me marry you?"
"I have children, you don't need to give birth to them. I'm marrying you because I've taken a liking to you, you can only marry me." Chen Shanlou's tone was domineering. Since childhood, he had tried every means to get what he wanted, even if it meant breaking it.
"Will your family agree? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for marrying a divorced woman?"
"My affairs are none of anyone else's business; you just need to agree to my proposal."
"I don't like you at all, and even if we get married, I would never live with you."
"I want you by your body, not your heart."
"I'm going to kill you!" Xia Baozhu was so enraged by Chen Shanlou's unreasonable words that she rushed towards him and started punching and kicking him.
Chen Shanlou quickly dodged.
The two chased each other in the main room for half an hour.
Xia Baozhu stopped, panting. Shen Shanlou was too good at playing to his strengths and compensating for his weaknesses. It would be difficult to hit someone like him who had received special training without a weapon.
“You like playing this game, so I’ll play it with you every day after we get married.” Chen Shanlou also stopped to rest, but he still teased Xia Baozhu with his cheeky remarks.
"Don't even think about it. At worst, I won't stay here. I'll go somewhere else," Xia Baozhu said fiercely.
“You ran away, but your friends are all here. They need your help, aren’t you going to come back?”
Chen Shanlou sneered. He knew Xia Baozhu well and knew how to manipulate her.
It looks powerful, but it's actually full of weaknesses.
"Aren't you afraid I'll ruin you after we get married?" Xia Baozhu retorted, and the two started exchanging barbs from two meters apart.
"You'd trade the rest of your life for a crippled me."
"Then what's the point of you living? You might as well be dead."
"The meaning of my life is to be your husband in name only."
Xia Baozhu looked at the roof beam, jumped to the windowsill, hooked onto a wooden beam, grabbed the semi-automatic rifle, and jumped down.
Chen Shanlou remained completely calm.
"Go ahead and shoot if you dare." Chen Shanlou advanced instead of retreating. He didn't believe Xia Baozhu would dare to shoot; he was betting that she valued her life more.
Xia Baozhu didn't use the gun to fire it; she used it as a stick.
Seeing the way she held the gun, Chen Shanlou immediately realized what was happening and quickly retreated.
Unfortunately, he was too close and was hit in the arm by the butt of Xia Baozhu's gun.
"Xia Baozhu!" Shen Shanlou's arm felt like it had been hit by a hydraulic press, and pain swept through his entire body.
"Have you thought this through? If I treat you like this after we get married, you can't sue me for assaulting a police officer. Even if you get beaten every day, you can't tell your colleagues that I hit you." Xia Baozhu smiled smugly as she saw how much pain he was in.
"You're really something!" Shen Shanlou knew Xia Baozhu was stubborn, but he didn't expect her to threaten him like this.
Xia Baozhu responded with only a cold snort.
"I've spoiled you too much, making you think I'm easy to talk to." Chen Shanlou said, leaving in a huff.
Xia Baozhu rolled her eyes. Shen Shanlou, that wolf, couldn't keep up the act anymore.
He treats her like a collectible and forces her to marry him. Does he think the world revolves around him?
Chen Shanlou sat in the car, and because he had been hit on the right arm, he couldn't even muster the strength to put down the brake.
He acted too impulsively tonight, and the result wasn't what he wanted.
The original appeasement strategy didn't work, and the hardline approach also failed.
This Xia Baozhu is really difficult to deal with; she's like a rock, impossible to warm up or tame.
