Power and Passion: A Billionaire's Secret

【Flirtatious FL x Cool and Noble ML, age gap】 Investment banking magnate Qin Jijing, the only son of this generation's Qin Family from Beijing, was rumored to have ancestors of no simple status. Hence, he had always been an awe-inspiring presence amongst the second generation of the Beijing Circle, someone no one dared to provoke lightly. Unfortunately, Jiang Ni's ambition was too great; she risked a relationship with him that was neither public nor heartfelt. She had ulterior motives, weaving trap after trap for Qin Jijing with various sweet nothings, and then heartlessly initiated a breakup. That night, as Jiang Ni prepared to flee, he cornered her in the bedroom for a confrontation. “I've deceived you for so long, and you still don't agree to break up with me?” “What do you mean by deception?” The man's tone was calm, as if he already knew something: “Those little schemes of using my connections to pave your own way? Then, you could have aimed a bit higher.” “But if, what you're referring to is deception in terms of liking me…” The man's tone paused, but his insistence did not wane, “Nini, listen carefully to your own voice.” He said, “I don't think so. Your body doesn't think so either.”

Chapter 149: I Have No Other Choice But You

"..."

The light in Xie Qiao's eyes seemed like someone had torn it open. His lips parted and closed, trembling without knowing what reaction would be appropriate.

His aristocratic upbringing had always taught him to restrain his emotions, including his feelings.

But over the years, apart from not having directly expressed his love, he had "said" countless times in the little things of daily life how much he liked Jiang Ni.

He had always thought that no matter what, they would eventually be together.

This was destined.

From a very young age, their elders had decided it.

No one could change it.

Thus, when she showed her repulsion for the arranged marriage and her disgust for the old man's planning of her future, he even went as far as to invent a non-existent girlfriend at all costs.

He knew Jiang Ni wasn't moved by him, but so what?

He thought, in any case, they would definitely get married eventually.

Lying to her now to make her feel more at ease didn't seem bad at all.
