Chapter 1040 Don’t Want to Marry
A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Pingting's cold and pretty face. Did this man just say that she would marry him? Did she hear it wrong?
Ji Liangchuan waited for her answer, but she just frowned at him, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her handsome face. "What's your answer?"
Shen Pingting retracted her gaze, "What's the answer?"
"I said, I ask you to marry me, what about you? What's your answer?" Ji Liangchuan was not in a good mood. He said this in excitement just now. Now it was really embarrassing for him to say it again.
"No." Shen Pingting answered very straightforwardly, without any hesitation. While speaking, she also glanced at him quickly and coldly. She didn't expect that she didn't hear it wrong, but Ji Liangchuan was talking nonsense.
"Why?" Ji Liangchuan's handsome face flushed, and he felt very embarrassed.
Shen Pingting's voice was cold. "There's no reason. I just don't want to get married. I have no interest in love, marriage, or men. Getting married is not in my life plan."
"Why aren't you interested?" Ji Liangchuan tried hard to suppress his anger. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry him, but that she didn't want to marry any man. It wasn't his problem.
Without even looking up, Shen Pingting answered casually, "Because I have no expectations for love and marriage."
"Shen Pingting, I'm different. I'm Ji Liangchuan. Marrying me is what many women dream of."
"Then leave the opportunity to them. I don't need it."
Shen Pingting said something irritably, and was about to leave with her computer, but Ji Liangchuan flashed and blocked her way. "For Xiaochuan, it's best for us to get married."
"Ji Liangchuan, I'll say it again, I won't marry you just for the child. That's not what I want. I won't fight with you for custody, and I will try my best to be a good mother. This is my biggest concession. I can't do anything else."
Shen Pingting herself is not sure whether she can be a good mother. She always thinks that there is something important missing in her character, so she cannot guarantee that she can meet Xiaochuan's expectations.
Ji Liangchuan was furious, "You are so selfish! Have you ever thought about the child?"
"When Hao Mengting asked you to marry her for the sake of the child, why didn't you agree? Isn't that selfish?"
Shen Pingting spoke in a mocking tone, using what Ji Liangchuan had done in the past to slap him in the face.
Ji Liangchuan was choked and speechless, as if he had been hit by a punch. Although it hurt, he couldn't hit back. He was so angry that he retorted for a long time, "You... this is a different time. How can you compare yourself with Hao Mengting? She is a vicious woman, but you are not. Besides, I hate her. You are the first woman I don't hate."
After saying the last sentence, Ji Liangchuan felt a little awkward, as if he was confessing his love.
Shen Pingting glanced at him expressionlessly, "Do you think I would feel honored?"
Ji Liangchuan: “…”
This woman is so unlovable! Does she feel itchy if she doesn't talk back to him? Does she feel itchy all over if she doesn't put up all the thorns on her body? !
"Ignorant of good and evil!"
After holding it in for a long time, Ji Liangchuan could only utter this sentence.
Shen Pingting ignored him and drank the half-drunk red wine in one gulp. "I still need to investigate Rong Bingkun. If you have nothing to do, go back to your room and don't disturb me here."
"Isn't it okay that I just like staying here?" Ji Liangchuan also got angry and immediately retorted.
Shen Pingting frowned, took her computer and walked to the other side to hide away alone.
Ji Liangchuan felt even more suffocated, but he couldn't say anything. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He simply poured himself another full glass of red wine, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.
As the man's sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down, the bitter red wine slid down his throat, causing a burning sensation in his stomach, and Ji Liangchuan immediately felt a little dizzy.
He doesn't have a good alcohol tolerance. He only drinks a little during social events and never drinks so quickly.
It’s all the fault of that heartless, ungrateful woman.
Although he thought so in his heart, his eyes still followed the woman uncontrollably.
The moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful. Even though there were no lights on in the villa, he could still see her fair and beautiful face, as if it was engraved in his mind, so clear and piercing.
His heart was beating fast, Ji Liangchuan pursed his lips and forced himself to look away.
Thinking of what Shen Pingting had just said, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he suddenly remembered that he had promised Fu Nanzhou to ask his grandfather about Rong Bingkun, but he forgot about it the moment he turned around.
The couple was so worried about Rong Bingkun that Shen Pingting was still investigating the matter in the middle of the night. It had to be resolved as soon as possible so that Shen Pingting could have her own life.
No matter what kind of life she had experienced before, she is different now. She should have her own life and should re-plan her life.
Thinking of this, Ji Liangchuan immediately picked up the phone and called Ji Hongzhuo.
Ji Hongzhuo had already gone to bed at this time, but was suddenly woken up by the vibration of his phone. He couldn't help but curse, "Who is calling me in the middle of the night?"
Seeing that it was his grandson, Ji Hongzhuo picked up the phone with a bad face, "Stinky boy, why are you calling at this time? What happened?"
"I want to ask about Rong Bingkun. Tell me everything you know." Ji Liangchuan went straight to the point.
Ji Hongzhuo was a little surprised, and he lost his sleepiness in an instant. "You called me in the middle of the night just for this matter? Why would you think of asking that person out of the blue?"
"Don't ask any more questions, just tell me directly."
Ji Hongzhuo couldn't help but snorted in displeasure, "Are you still impatient?"
"Grandpa!" Ji Liangchuan emphasized his tone. The old man was really nagging.
Ji Hongzhuo also rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, alright, I get it. Our family has no connection with him. His father Deng is an old charlatan. Rong Bingkun came to our house specially and insisted that you would not live long. You would die of blood disaster when you are three years old, and you would meet with a disaster before you are ten years old. He keeps talking nonsense every day!"
"I didn't like his father back then, so I didn't believe him at all. But I did have some doubts in my heart, so I sent a few more bodyguards to protect you, and you grew up safely."
Ji Liangchuan narrowed his eyes fiercely, "Do you mean that Rong Bingkun is also a charlatan?"
"Ah."
"Apart from these, are there any other things?" Ji Liangchuan asked again.
Ji Hongzhuo interrupted impatiently, "What else is there? I'm not the Public Security Bureau. I can't find out everything about their family. They are just some charlatans who visited our house that year. How much connection can there be?"
The old man was woken up by someone, and it was because of such a trivial matter, so his tone was naturally bad.
Ji Liangchuan could also tell that his grandfather was very angry, so he snorted, "I know, go to bed soon, old man. Sleeping too late is not good for your heart."
Ji Hongzhuo's eyes widened, and he almost fainted from anger. He was already asleep, okay? Who on earth suddenly woke him up from his sleep? !
But why would that little bastard ask about Rong Bingkun for no reason?
**
After hanging up the phone, Ji Liangchuan immediately walked towards Shen Pingting.
Shen Pingting closed the computer again, raised her head and looked at him impatiently, "What's wrong again?"
"Watch your attitude." Ji Liangchuan was not in a good mood. He tapped her computer with his bony fingers. "What can you find out with this?"
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Shen Pingting became even more displeased, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Rong Bingkun is a charlatan just like his father. You can start from this aspect."
After Ji Liangchuan finished speaking, he sat down in front of her and repeated to Shen Pingting what Ji Hongzhuo had just said.
This doesn't sound like important information, but Rong Bingkun's information has been erased, which means there is no trace of this person in the world. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to investigate.
However, if you know this, you will have a direction.
