Mr Quan, Let’s Be Together From Now On

Chapter 41: Marry Me

Quan Rui was a huge hygiene freak. He despised when others touched his belongings and as much as possible, he always ate alone.

When he had to eat out with people, he almost always ate Western food so that he would not have to eat from communal plates and share his food with others.

He was even more particular when it came to something as personal as his clothes.

However, he did not seem to care about it in this exact moment that Bai Ran stood before him wearing his shirt.

Furthermore…

Because his clothes were huge, it highlighted her petite body frame even more. Her skin was fair and smooth and since she had just taken a shower. Her entire body gave out a fresh and seductive scent.

Quan Rui’s eyes remained on Bai Ran for a long time. He raised his wine glass high and toasted her.

Her looks and her figure did not lose out to Jiang Bangyuan at all.

In fact, she looked brighter and more robust.

This was exactly what Quan Rui liked to see in a woman.

When Bai Ran saw Quan Rui’s reaction, she frowned. Her hands clenched slightly beside her body. She inhaled a deep breath of air and then marched over to confront him.

“Mr. Quan, I’ve showered as you’ve demanded. Now, can you return my ring to me?

“I merely came to retrieve something that belongs to me. Why are you making it so difficult?”

“I heard that this is your engagement ring from Xu Chenglin. Do you like him that much?” Quan Rui gave her an irrelevant reply as he brought the glass of wine to his lips and took a small sip.

It occurred to him that he was being unduly interested in this woman’s affairs.

It was a pity that Bai Ran completely missed this uncharacteristic move on his part just because she did not want to talk about this particular matter that he brought up.

“The ring is mine. Please return it to me. It’s very late already. My mother will worry about me if I don’t return home soon.” Bai Ran looked at Quan Rui and her eyes blazed with determination. She was neither being haughty nor especially humble.

Quan Rui looked down and sized her up. He could tell that she was running out of patience.

“In that case… I’ll get straight into the point.

“Join me. Let’s work together. I will give you anything that you ask for. Money. Power. I can also give you titles like ‘the wife of the President of the Universal Group’ and ‘the Young Mistress of the Quan Family’. The only thing that I ask in return is that you live as Jiang Yuexi and you return to your rightful place as the daughter of the Jiang Family.” This had been what Quan Rui had been planning all along.

He would marry Bai Ran as long as she became the daughter of the Jiang Family.

Through this, the influence and power of the greedy siblings in the Jiang Family would be weakened.

But Bai Ran had no interest in Quan Rui’s proposal. Instead, she sneered coldly and said, “You will give me anything that I ask for? Mr. Quan, it seems like you’ve forgotten about your promise to split half the winnings of the gamble with me. Where’s that money? You aren’t thinking of going back on your words, are you?”

Quan Rui’s eyebrows rose even higher on his forehead when he heard this. He did not expect this brat to have the gift of gab.

“If you marry me, half of the Universal Group will be yours and my promise to you will be fulfilled. Do you want the money or not?” Quan Rui changed the subject of the conversation. “Since she wants money, I’ll just deal directly with her using money.”

However, what he suggested to her sounded more like a joke.

“I’m not interested in you.” Bai Ran rejected him without any hesitation. “Besides, aren’t you Jiang Bangyuan’s man?

“I don’t understand you at all. Why would Jiang Bangyuan’s fiancé want to marry me anyway?”

“You seem quite hot and bothered about my arranged marriage with Jiang Bangyuan.” Quan Rui did not seem angry at all. Instead, he scrutinized the woman before him rather keenly and found himself quite amused when he saw the look of disdain in her big animated eyes.

“Humph! I don’t care about the affairs between the two of you. I just want you to make good on your promise to me.” Bai Ran evaded the prompt. She had no wish to continue dwelling on matters that did not concern her.

Quan Rui could tell that all Bai Ran wanted from him was the return of her ring and half of the winnings from the gamble.
