56 Why Should I Become Your Queen? (1/2)

Sitting across Bo Jiang in a fancy cafe, Ying Yue quickly ordered her favourite bubble milk tea and crème brûlée

” So? How do you plan to compensate for my losses? ” Ying Yue smiled calmly.

She already knew she couldn't hold him back and it would be wrong to do so but he was her most important pillar in managing Starlight.

Not only did he have great insight in growing businesses but he was truly a wonderful leader and businessman.

” I have prepared a billion for the annulation of the contract as well to compensate for all the money you gave me and of course extra. ” Bo Jiang said.

” ...Money? ” Ying Yue scoffed as she looked at him.

” I own the company, do I need your money? No, I refuse this compensation! ” Ying Yue instantly declined.

” ... If you come with me, I'll guarantee you a lifetime of luxuries without having you work a single second. And if you become my queen...” Bo Jiang trailed off his words, pondering if he should confess or not.

” Why should I become your queen? ” Ying Yue lifted her eyebrow.

” Because...I like you, I love you, I want to marry you and bring you back to my kingdom! ” Bo Jiang boldly declared.

' Fortunately, this is a VIP room... ' Bo Jiang thought for a second.

And his next thought was ” How embarrassing!!! How unromantic!!! How could I confess like that?! ”

” So? ” Ying Yue sighed.

She already had a hunch that he held those feelings towards her and even though she felt bad using those emotions to control him, what could she do? She needed him at that moment.

Bo Jiang looked at her sadly, ” You already knew? ”

” I guess yeah. ” Ying Yue answered a bit awkwardly.

” You never loved me? ” Bo Jiang was desperate.

” Thank you for your feelings but I can't return them...and as you know, I have a boyfriend. I have a very happy relationship with him. ” Ying Yue spoke with a calm tone.

Bo Jiang felt the pain slowly burning his heart. The fiery heartstring and horrendous tingling pain made him incapable of thinking clearly.

” Why him?! Why not me?! ” Bo Jiang stood up in disapproval.

” Attraction cannot be justified. ” Ying Yue reasoned.

” But he cannot protect you! I can! I have the power and status! ” Bo Jiang refused to accept this outcome.

He had known her longer and loved her longer: so why would she choose him?!

” Why would I need to be protected? ” Ying Yue gave him an incredulous look.

” You haven't told him about your work? ” Bo Jiang sneered at this thought.

” What work do you think I do? ” Ying Yue's interest suddenly peaked.

A year after he was taken under Ying Yue's care and after he got back on his feet, Bo Jiang knew she was not simple and tried to investigate her.
