"Be my wife. "

Luo Shih felt her heart quicken as she leaned against the wall, the cool surface a stark contrast to the heat that radiated from her skin. Hei Xiwen, with his piercing gaze and commanding presence, pressed his hand against the wall beside her, trapping her within his reach. Despite the flutter in her chest, she couldn't deny the allure of his overbearing nature. She had been hurt in the past and never wanted to be in another relationship, especially with a younger man. She didn't want her son that she had wronged to share his inheritance with another child and besides she had no energy to raise another child. This was the very reason she rejected Hei Xiwen but this man was persistent. Time and time again she rejected him but he kept coming back. She finally stopped actively rejecting him and would go on dates with him out of sympathy. Soon sympathy turned to interest so if she wanted companionship she wouldn't reject him.
