31 "So it means you have three days afterwards we will talk about our promise"

In the end, Mo Lingtan dragged her out of the casino. "If you don't stop shouting, I will kiss you right in front of everybody!"

"But my money!" Lee Xuiye lowered her eyelashes and said in a sad tone.

Lee Xuiye was an international model and she had worked hard for it. Even though she was financially considered rich, but still, it was still not a good thing to lose fifty thousand dollars in thirty minutes.

"Didn't I warn you not to go there?" Mo Lingtan reprimanded her.

"Let it be. What can I do now? I have already lost the money."

"I will make them pay you back".

"Really?"

"Look at you, you don't have shame. Huh?"

"What's there to be ashamed of? They are cheaters, who deceived me and took away my money? By the way, you are already paying me back, so why don't we go back and play some more rounds? What do you  say?"

"No… I will tell them to ban you from entering the casinos".

"How mean!"

"Come on, let's eat something. I am hungry."

Mo Lingtan held her hand and took her to a restaurant where they had Italian cuisine like pasta, Arancini, Lasagne, Osso Buco Alla Milanese, Prosciutto, Saltimbocca and in dessert Tiramisu.

Lee Xuiye was a model and to maintain her body, she always ate what her nutritionist told her. So, she didn't eat much, whereas, Mo Lingtan was not such a foodie. He ate because his body needed nutrition.

After dinner, Lee Xuiye was very tired and she insisted on going home. Although they had spent the whole day together, still, Mo Lingtan wasn't satisfied with it. Of course, a single day couldn't set off five years of separation. Lastly, Mo Lingtan reluctantly agreed with her and drove her home.

Mo Lingtan stopped his 'Porsche 911' in front of Platinum Premium. Lee Xuiye looked at him "Thanks for today".

She really enjoyed today's shopping. She didn't remember the last day in those five years when she had done shopping so happily.

Lee Xuiye was about to get down from the car, however, she stopped when she heard his voice, "I am going for a business trip".

Lee Xuiye raised one eyebrow and looked at him "So?"

"So it means you have three days, afterward we will talk about us," Mo Lingtan said with his serious expression.

Now he couldn't wait anymore, now he wanted her to be his wife.

Lee Xuiye immediately stiffened, as if blood had stopped running in her body. When they broke up five years back, she thought Mo Lingtan would find a girl or his family would force him to marry someone better than her. In her opinion he deserved someone better, she had always been a source of trouble for him.

However, it was said that it was very difficult to forget one's first love. That had proven true for both of them.

If she wasn't able to find another man, how could she expect him to find another woman for himself?

"And you have three days to announce the cancellation of your engagement with Young Master Gu. If you won't do that I will announce it for you." Mo Lingtan continued in a firm voice.

Lee Xuiye came back into her senses and clenched her fists and stuttered "I-I c-can't do that. Gu-Gu family is the biggest investor in Sky Imperial. If-If I cancel the engagement then it-it will affect Sky Imperial.''

Lee Xuiye didn't announce the cancellation of her engagement with Gu Kai only because she wanted to avoid Mo Lingtan, otherwise, she didn't care about Sky Imperial. In fact, she would be happy if Sky Imperial would shut down. In fact, shutting down the sky imperial was also in her hit list. So, the sooner the better. But she really couldn't face him, not now.

However, did she really think this reason was sufficient to convince Mo Lingtan?...

Maybe not…

Mo Lingtan chuckled "Miss Lee, Do you think I am a fool?"

Lee Xuiye's heart stopped beating, her palms were sweating and she was feeling suffocation…

"I…I am tell…telling you the truth." Lee Xuiye tried to convince him.

Mo Lingtan looked at her "If that is the case then, don't worry, I will protect Sky Imperial".

Lee Xuiye pursed her lips and looked at him. Her eyes were turning red, she knew she could fight with him but she didn't want to...

She could only beg him...

"P-please…"

She couldn't even complete her sentence, 'Please leave me and go live your life happily without any humiliation'.

Mo Lingtan immediately turned his head to the other direction and said in a cold voice "Go!".

Her tears were his weakness because he couldn't see her crying and that was the reason he had agreed to break up with her five years back. He was still regretting that decision of his until now. However, now he was determined that he wouldn't allow her tears to dominate him. Not when it concerned this matter.

Lee Xuiye immediately got down from his car and ran towards her flat. Mo Lingtan was left in his car, thinking of what else he could do. He knew it wasn't her fault on the engagement but still, seeing her with someone else was something he wasn't willing to allow no matter what.
