Chapter 145 - Make you fall in love with me (1/2)
Ming poured a cup of water and passed it to Lena. ”Maybe I said that wrong. I just think we should try.”
”I don't believe you. Now that you are skinny, handsome, and rich, you will bully me instead.”
Ming raised his brow. ”Is that the kind of man you think I am?” Ming was not going to lie... he did have that idea passed his mind at one point. ”I would never treat a woman so low.”
Lena drank all her water. ”I don't understand a few things. Aren't you already engaged? And even so, what made you change your mind so quick?”
”Mike Zhao.” Ming poured some water for him and took a drink. ”After our engagement was annulled, the Zhao and Bai family made a pact. They arrange marriage states that the eldest son of the Zhao family will marry the eldest daughter of the Bai family.”
”So... Since you are not the eldest anymore, Mike Zhao's bride is the young miss Bai?” Lena finished the thought for him.
”Correct.” Ming took a bite of food and scoops a big prawn for Lena. ”If you were to be mine, then my powers would match his.”
”You want to marry me for power?” Lena did not like the sound of that at all. This was the same thing as last time Ming talked to her about being a fake girlfriend. But this time, it was not fake.
”No. That's just a small benefit. I would not just marry someone because it only benefits me. Marriage is not a game. I think you would be a really good wife. You are pretty, smart, and you know to behave yourself.”
”I--” Lena was going to say that she was not a good wife... but she is! She had spent her entire years with Andy to be the perfect wife. She will be the perfect wife for anyone she marries!
”You're not the same as you were in the past. I am also not the same as I was in the past. Humans are bound to make mistakes. Only those who are strong enough can pick themselves up and become better.”
”I won't marry you,” Lena spoke firmly. ”I won't marry a man I am not in love with.”
Ming softly chuckled. ”So... I just need to make you fall in love with me?”
Lena blushed from that comment. That was a direct line from a drama, he can't use that line on her! ”It's not that easy to make me fall in love with you!” She declared.
”I know what kind of woman you are.”
”How can you know what kind of woman I am? I don't even know what kind of woman I am.”
”That's why it would be fun. I will show you what kind of woman you are.” Ming stood up a bit from his seat and steal a piece of food from Lena's plate.
”Hey! That's mine.”
