Chapter 644: As long as you want I am your husband_1

But just as the words were about to leave her mouth, Baili Xia forcefully swallowed them back.

She knew Uncle’s methods better than anyone else.

The relationship between Jin and Uncle had been strained all along.

However, at least they had not really turned into enemies.

If, because of her, they were to become outright enemies, it would be a lethal blow to both of them.

Uncle’s position in Jin City was unmatched.

However, Jin also held considerable power; he could easily stir up a storm here.

When two equally formidable people collide, there won’t be a clear winner, it would end in mutual damage.

The moment she opened her mouth, it would push them into a dire situation.

So, after remaining silent for a long time and feeling agitated for the same period, she finally managed a small smile, shaking her head.

“I’m not facing any trouble and don’t need your help. Jin, the plane waits for no one, you should hurry.”

Dongfang Jin wanted to say something, but then he saw the resolve and restraint in her eyes.

Even if there were more things to say, there would be no point in saying them now.

If she did not want to, he could not force her.

If he did, how would he be different from Mu Xiaojiu?

“Then tell me, are you really going to get engaged to Mu Xiaoyao?

Do you like Mu Xiaoyao?”

“He’s like my elder brother.” Therefore, whether she liked him or not was not something he needed to ask.

“Even so, do you still want to get engaged to him?” He was really getting angry.

What kind of state had this girl been reduced to!

Couldn’t she fight more for her own sake?

Having someone so powerful as her backer right before her, was she really unwilling to rely on him?

Could it be that she had no intention of depending on him at all?

Baili Xia still shook her head, managing a faint smile.

“Jin, don’t worry about my affairs.

You go and carry on with your own things.

I’m doing well.”

“You…” Dongfang Jin’s hand, resting on her shoulder, began to tighten slowly.

He hates her viciously fake smile around the corner of her lips so much that he was incapable of crushing it off.

What’s the use of her smiling so falsely?

Yet, he had to leave tonight.

So these issues would have to wait until he returned.

“There’s a major flaw in the project that Dongfang Group is collaborating on with several partners.

I have to go and resolve it myself, but don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

“Jin, there’s really no need.

Whether you return or not makes no difference to me.”

“Stop saying that!” Dongfang Jin interrupted her, his complexion darkened, “In any case, I’ll be back soon, and by then, I want another answer from you.”

Baili Xia frowned, but Dongfang Jin laughed.

“I’m not trying to force you, girl, you know, I always care about you.”

She tried to avoid him, but he gripped her shoulder even tighter, imprisoning her in front of him, refusing to let go at all.

“Whether you want to hear it or not, I’m going to say this.” He looked at her face, his voice serious beyond measure.

“I’ll protect you, as long as you allow it!

I let you suffer for a year, from now on, you can make me suffer for the rest of my life!”

“If you want, even if it’s my life, I can give it to you.”

“Jin, don’t say such things!” Baili Xia bit her lip, glaring at him, “You said we’re just friends, I don’t want to hear talk like this.”

“I know we’re friends, but if you’re ever willing, I will be your husband, and this will never change in my lifetime!”

“Jin!” Baili Xia called out softly, her face instantly flushed red.

This time, it wasn’t out of shyness, but fear.

“Don’t say such things, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear a single word!”
