Chapter 88 - The Reason He Wanted To Marry You (3)
Nie AnAn asked dubiously, “How do you know who I am?”
“Because Mom watches Big Sister’s show at home every day! Big Sister’s cooking must be very yummy!” said the little girl with a smile.
Nie AnAn had no more doubts after she had heard that. Wang Chen was part of the production team. It wasn’t unusual for the production teams to ask around at a different inn when they needed something that they didn’t have at their inn.
Nie AnAn just went shopping for groceries that afternoon and just happened to still have her wallet on her. After talking to the little girl, she headed out toward Fangfang Inn.
Fangfang Inn wasn’t as nice as where she was. It was mostly reefs, and she had to walk through a wooden area.
Nie AnAn walked down the little path in the wooded area and could vaguely see a shadow standing under a large coconut tree.
By now the moon was already out and under the moonlight, it looked as though the man’s face was coated with a layer of moon glow.
Nie AnAn recognized him. It was Qin ZiMing.
She paused a little in her way. She was certain that running into Qin ZiMing was no coincidence.
Qin ZiMing stood up straight when he saw her. Waving at her, he said, “Nie AnAn, come over here.”
So he wasn’t there waiting for Li ManGe, he was waiting for her.
Nie AnAn frowned and immediately turned around and started walking away.
Qin ZiMing called out from behind her, “Do you want to know why Huo YanXiao agreed to the betrothal?”
Nie AnAn stopped on her way, but didn’t turn around.
Qin ZiMing went on, “He doesn’t love you romantically. He only accepted it because of what my father told him.”
Having said that, his voice turned into a tease. “I will tell you if you come over here.”
Nie AnAn finally turned back around and walked over to him.
Qin ZiMing looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes dim.
He was disgusted by her before, after all, he didn’t think any man would find that kind of face tattoos attractive.
The day that he saw her with all her tattoos removed, he didn’t recognize her right away. However, it was the first day that he found the girl stunning and his interest was piqued.
Later on, after he found out who she was, the feeling of disgust had returned.
But, after he had her cooking and saw the way that she looked at Huo YanXiao, he realized that everything that the girl had done before was intentional.
Or that she was instructed by Huo YanXiao to do so! Or, perhaps, he even sent her to get close to him for other reasons.
He looked at the nice and docile girl in front of him who had, for the sake of Huo YanXiao, willingly dressed herself in that god-awful way and got close to him intentionally. Even after being insulted by him time and again, she still didn’t give up. Qin ZiMing felt a poisonous vine growing in his heart. It burned through his calm and rational demeanor that he was putting up.
“Do you want to know what they have told me?” A sense of darkness rose in his usually gentle eyes. “Come closer and I will tell you.”
Nie AnAn didn’t move. Qin ZiMing took a step forward and quickly decreased the distance between the two of them.
Somewhere inside the wooden area, a picture of the two was quietly taken.
“It was because my father had told him that if he’d form the alliance with the Nie’s through this marriage, he would transfer a portion of the Qin’s stocks over to Huo YanXiao,” said Qin ZiMing in Nie AnAn’s ear in a low voice. “Now that you’ve found out the truth, do you still want to marry him?”
