Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 298 - 297: Li Shao reveals himself

Qin Zhuzhu approached Li Shao and smiled. The skies were getting darker and darker. In the distance, the Eiffel tower light up with various lights. She could hear some people chattering in French from below.

"Congratulations," Li Shao said with a smile.

"Congratulations for what?" Qin Zhuzhu chuckled. Did Li Shao knocked his head or what? Was he playing a joke with her?

Li Shao noticed that whenever she was with him, she would act polite and respectful. It was as if they were nothing more than boss and employee. He wondered whether she forget their past.

"Congratulations for surviving," he joked lightly.

Qin Zhuzhu laughed, a soft laugh that always tugged at his chest.

Last time when he first met her again when she was interviewing for the fashion designer position at his company, he heard her mentioned that she had a husband.

That man that night who roughly took her away must be him, right? When he saw that man, instantly he felt a strong dislike for him.

But when she said that he wouldn’t hurt her, he felt jealous but relief. After knowing what happened between her and Xu Meng, he knew that her heart must have a scar, a deep wound embedded. She has found someone to love and care for her. But that person wasn’t him.

"Thanks. Do you want to go in? It’s getting cold out here," Qin Zhuzhu offered. The weather was getting chillier and chiller as it approached winter.

"Okay," he said and followed her in.

Qin Zhuzhu made some tea and passed him a cup. Then she sat opposite him. Her hair was still tied in a messy bun.

"It’s so late. What are you doing here?" She asked, blowing on the hot tea.

Li Shao watched tenderly as her lips formed an ’O’ when she blew the hot surface.

"Nothing. I just want to congratulate you and see how you’re doing. How’s Paris so far?" Li Shao made some casual talk.

"It was great. I didn’t get to see much of the city,"

Li Shao’s eyes flitted to the ring on her finger once again.

It seems like no matter what, Li Shao stood no chance with her. Last time it was with Xu Meng, now it was another man. In his heart,

"You did wonderful today. I saw you on the runway and...." His words trailed off. "And you were very beautiful, like a goddess," he wanted to say that it made him think of her again when he pursued her last time. But somehow, his lips couldn’t form those words.

"Thank you," Qin Zhuzhu said with a polite smile. Silence hung in the air as neither one of them spoke.

"You still haven’t changed since high school," Qin Zhuzhu suddenly said.

"You mean...." Li Shao looked at her with confusion. "You remembered who I am?" His eyes shone with hopefulness and nostalgia.

"Yes, Xiao Li," Qin Zhuzhu called him the nickname she used to call him when they were in high school.

Li Shao smiled. The two reminisced on old times before going their separate ways. After he left, Qin Zhuzhu shut her door and leaned against it tiredly. She sighed.

She had no way of accepting others. She had known Li Shao’s intentions towards her but pretended to be oblivious as she felt that a person like her was incapable of love. She had locked herself up in a cage, cutting off ties with something called love.

But another person broke off those ties and opened the iron cage she locked her heart in.

Because right now, the only person she was craving to be with was him.

Even if she had met Li Shao earlier, she wouldn’t have opened her heart to him.

It was only Shentu Jing who was capable to invading and stealing that heart of hers, claiming her as his wife, warming away the cold left by Xu Meng.

Qin Zhuzhu took out her phone and texted Shentu Jing. Their time zone was different. He should be awake at this hour, right? It was at least afternoon or morning in Shengjing.

"Hmm?" A male voice answered.

"Shentu Jing, how are you? What are you doing?" Out of sudden, she felt shy and nervous to suddenly call him, because it was usually him who always called her first.

The man on the other end was delighted.

"I’m fine. How’s everything? I saw you on TV,"

"Are you spying on me from across the globe?" She joked and laughed softly.

"I won’t. I know you will never go with another man," Shentu Jing was going through some surveillance footages when his phone rang with her call.

In the background, Han Juexian and Ding Yu eavesdropped on the conversion. If the lady boss comes back, then they would be spared from the boss’ never-ending moodiness.

"Why are you so certain?" Hearing his voice sent a strange sense of calmness to her soul. Qin Zhuzhu threw herself on the bed, looked up art the ceiling with the phone by her ear.

"Because no one can kiss you better than I can. No one can love you the way I love," Shentu Jing said with all manner of seriousness.

When Shentu Jing said those words, Qin Zhuzhu stopped breathing. The phone slid out of her hands and landed on the bed beside her ear.

It was silent for some time. Only the sound of quiet breathing could be heard. The man in the other end didn’t say another word, his fingers nervously gripped the phone.

Why did the boss looked like he was strangling the phone? Han Juexian wondered. Did something happened? Did something go wrong?

"Shentu Jing, what did you say?" She blinked her eyes and asked, her voice slightly soft and unclear. She picked up the phone.

"I love you. I love you more everyday. Without you, I can’t imagine what my life would be. I want you. Little Pearl, be with me. Be my woman,"
