Chapter 144 - Heartless Woman

"Bo Jinchuan, let's be together."

Upon hearing her, the emotions whirled thickly like ink in the depths of Bo Jinchuan's eyes.

Shen Fanxing squinted as she peered at him to read the slightest change in his expression.

His expression was too dark and solemn, and there were no clues.

"Why? Are you unwilling?"

Shen Fanxing relinquished her grip gradually on his shirt.

She couldn't understand what was on his mind.

Just as she was about to retract her hand, he grabbed it in mid-air.

Then, she was tugged forward forcefully.

She was confused by him.

"Bo Jinchuan, what do you want to do?"

"The Civil Affairs Bureau."

Shen Fanxing's heart raced!

Did this man have to be so direct?

When they passed by the door, Shen Fanxing grabbed the edge.

Bo Jinchuan had no choice but to stop and turn around.

Shen Fanxing was torn between crying and laughing. "Who agreed to marry you?"

Bo Jinchuan frowned and replied in a low voice, "You did just now."

Shen Fanxing gazed at him and smiled. "I'm only agreeing to the courtship, Mr Bo."

Bo Jinchuan furrowed his brows and replied, "That means you agree to marrying me!"

Shen Fanxing leaned against the door frame, as she looked up at him and smiled.

"Dream on! You've only wooed me for less than a week. Now you want to skip the process and proceed to marriage?"

"The process?"

Shen Fanxing rested her head on the door frame and gave a light sigh.

"Even though I'm 26 this year. And indeed, I'm at the age where I should get married. But I should still experience the courtship and dating process, right?"

Dating?

Bo Jinchuan paused at her words. This idea was refreshing to him.

"Okay, let's date."

Shen Fanxing smiled and nodded. Then, she cleared her throat and elaborated,

"Okay, from today onwards, I'm starting a new job. Call me if you need to look for me. If you're free, you can think of me. Because of my new job, I might be very busy in the future, so… I want to move out!"

Bo Jinchuan's face darkened and turned cold as she spoke.

"Move out? No way!"

"So you're rejecting the idea of dating me?"

Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and explained, "There's no conflict between you staying here and us dating."

"I think there is. If our relationship were to have an outcome, I'm going to marry you and live here. Are you asking me to marry you and move into the main residence?"

"It's possible."

She was speechless…

Bo Jinchuan peered at the woman who was leaning against the door frame. Her lazy smile and posture frustrated him.

He inched closer to her slowly, and the grin in her eyes vanished and nervousness replaced it.

With a faint smile, Bo Jinchuan started to bend and the aloofness he emitted became exceptionally familiar.

That good-looking face was only a few inches away from her, and their breaths intertwined.

"Are you bent on torturing me to death?"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, yet it was filled with allure. "It wasn't easy for you to agree, but in the end, you got further and further away from me. You're really heartless."

Shen Fanxing's heart raced wildly. His proximity, strong presence and alluring charm rendered her defenseless.

"We're not staying together now."

"But I can see you every day."

Shen Fanxing's ears reddened.

This man…

He had used only a week to conquer her heart, yet he wasn't satisfied!

"Then what do you mean by me being heartless?"

Alright, she admitted that she did not want him to give up.

She was already 26 years old!

Why couldn't she enjoy listening to a man whispering sweet honeyed words to her?
