Chapter 895: 895
The announcement sent Huo Chen into silence for the next minute .
“I’ll watch it for you,”he noddingly replied . But the alpha businessman felt displeased at his decision, Huo Chen could sense it from Huo Yunting’s look, “I have to do it . I must intervene in this . ”
As a serviceman for the country, I can’t just let a group of people trespass under my eyes .
Especially when the one who made it happen was the one who killed my mother!
“Do whatever you want,” said Huo Yunting flatly and shrugged, “I’ll be going . ”
Meanwhile, in a gorgeous manor at a country far away on the other side of the ocean, a man smiled having heard the good news coming from his phone under the evening sun as it shined through the window .
“Thank you . ” The phone was hung up . Almost immediately after that, a tall and slender figure grooved in .
Xiang Jinxi watched the door being pushed open as the attractive lady waltzed in with the tail of her light green gown swaying behind . Her hands politely folded in front yet her expression exuded a kind of charm and confidence that only a mature woman would possess . She was graceful yet her face looked dim as she surveyed the Xiang Jinxi’s silhouette .
“I got my engagement today,” she announced the shocking news .
Xiang Jinxi froze upon the update too but his eyes squinted in avoidance for eye-contact as he muttered, “Good . ”
Good? What do you mean by ‘good’?
Our family is rather extensive, that we have lots of relatives from different families yet I was the sole heir to the main family . Ever since I was born, I was told to be the one to bring the capable man into the family to lead the family in the future .
Well, I was okay with the idea at first but I got more fed up with this profit-driven marriage as I grew up . I started getting constantly reminded that it is a man that makes my life as well as the family prosperous, especially after puberty .
I got so annoyed to the point that I left America immediately after a really bad argument with Father one day .
“I’ll NEVER EVER come back to this pathetic family! What for a business to exist if it costs a daughter’s happiness to succeed?”

I even swore to my father so .
And like all sworn words, I broke it .
I once hated the idea of sacrificing my happiness for businesses to the extent that I rather we suffered bankruptcy since—I mean, how ridiculous it is for a business to rely on the daughter’s courtship?
And now look where you are, Qiu Jin .
All because of this man .
Xiang Jinxi .
Only if I chose to accept my family’s tradition, find a man to get married, I’ll get a bit of authority in the house . And with such authority, only I could assist this man . Only I could save him, the man whose name rang like a distress signal in my world…
“Xiang Jinxi . ” The tail of her gown smoothly skimmed over the exquisite Persian carpet as she strolled through the spacious room filled with all the luxuries a woman could once imagine having yet her eyes never landed upon . She lifted her head as her eyes ever fixed upon the very man . Her heart ached seeing Xiang Jinxi’s expressionless look of as her words uttered through her hoarse voice, “I’ll have the wedding two months after the engagement . Aren’t you going to say something about this? Something specifically to me?”

The question made the man stare into her eyes . There was a hint of emotion which soon faded away, “Well, did you regret this?”
In disbelief Qiu Jin looked at him, tears welled up in her eyes . It was a ridiculous question that was more devastating than a remorseful call, that it took her awhile to recover and reply a calm “no” while shaking her head .
That’s all you want to say? Are you talking about regrets?
Do I have any other option here?
Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of me sending my men to rescue this man all the way back to America back then? Why did I do something so foolish that I had to kneel before Father for a whole day and night just to redeem myself?
So if you want to talk about regrets, maybe it’s the regret of knowing you . It’s the regret of me being so foolish . There’s no turning back now .
I don’t expect anything from you . Well, even if you do have something to give in return…I don’t think it’ll be anything about love .
From the very beginning, I am a mere pawn in his eyes .

No love, no pride, only benefits in his eyes .
He uses me shamelessly for everything he can and I indiscriminately provide my service .
But what can I do?
I love him . I really love him .
