Lily sees that his face is so dark right now, so she decides not to joke with him anymore, “I have just
cancelled my identity recently, these few days I need to reapply for it and that procedure is going to
take time. We have to wait until then to consider marrying each other.”
“I’ll urge someone to speed up the progress. It won’t take more than three days.”
Lily is very tempted by his proposition, but she has to uphold her dignity, “You don’t have a ring and you
haven’t even proposed to me yet, but you want to marry me just like this? Don’t you think that I’m at a
disadvantage here?”
Rex suddenly cracks a laugh after hearing that. He is not sure why he is amused by her words, “So you
want me to take things step by step by proposing and giving you a ring first?”
Lily is angry yet ashamed at his reaction, so she pushes him slightly and retorts, “Who is asking you to
do that? I don’t plan to marry you anyway.”
Rex knows that she doesn’t mean what she has said, so he decides not to mess with her further. He
forces her into his embrace while saying, “I am not a romantic person, and I don’t have any experience
in doing all these either. My friends are mostly bachelors too. All I have is a determination to spend the
rest of my life with you, you can have every other thing. You can have my house, cars and savings,
what do you think about this suggestion?”
Lily never wants to obtain any materialistic things from him, but after she hears that, she replies in a
shock, “You’re going to give me all that? Everything?”
“Yes.” He doesn’t hesitate one bit, “What belongs to me also belongs to you too.”
“…” Lily is still reeling from the shock as she ponders, “Does he think of himself as an ordinary person?
Is he aware of how rich he is right now? And he intends to give all of that to me.”
Rex raises his eyebrows after getting no reply from her. He whispers by her ear, “Why aren’t you saying
anything?”
“No, I’m just a little astonished now.”
“What is there to be astonished about?”
Lily is even more shocked after hearing that question. She lifts her head and meets his sex jawline,
“Don’t you afraid that I will embezzle all of your assets?”
“If we were married, how are you going to do that?”
Lily pokes his waist while replying, “Wait, you’re giving me all of your money, aren’t you afraid in the
slightest?”
“Afraid?” Rex looks into her pair of dazzling eyes and asks in confusion, “What are you trying to say?”
Lily studies his straightforward expression and finds herself at a loss for words. It seems like he really
doesn’t think too much about his own assets and money and he isn’t going to be so calculative when it
comes to this.
Is there any successful man who would do something like this in all of J City? Is there any man who
would marry a woman without any condition? Any man who has some success in life would want to
stay cautious when it comes to their assets, let alone an exceedingly successful man like Rex.
Her doubts slowly turn into resignation. Lily subconsciously let out a sigh, “You are really willing to do
that…”
“What is there to think hard about when it comes to my woman?” He doesn’t care too much about his
savings since they are just a string of numbers which exist in the bank to him. The amount is not the
most important thing here. He only cares about who is going to spend all of that with him.
If they are his wife and their child, he would give up everything to be with them.
Lily heaves a huge sigh and replies, “You just happened to meet me, who is not materialistic. If it were
other women, they would squeeze you dry of everything.”
Since five years ago when she was acquainted with Rex, she always sees him as a cold and aloof
person who sees everything from a businessman’s perspective. He wouldn’t want to be at the
disadvantageous end of things. But after getting to know him, she realizes that he’s not what she
originally thinks of, but he is actually someone who’s quite naïve and simple.
Squeeze him dry?
The first thing that he thinks of is not about his assets, but…
He approaches her with a wicked smile, and his black jet eyes are shrouded in a mysterious charisma,
“I hope that you will really squeeze me dry and I think you can do that tonight.”
Lily doesn’t understand what he is saying at first, but when she comes to her senses, Rex is already on
his way to the house.
She is blushing hard right now but she can’t contain his craziness indeed. She can only stomp hard on
the ground while shouting, “You bastard!”
…
Since the day Vivian was rejected by Rex publicly, she has been confining herself at home for the past
two days. She doesn’t have much appetite, so she didn’t eat much. Her condition terrifies her parents,
especially her mother. When her mother sees that her daughter is getting skinner as the day flies by,
she feels extremely awful.
“Vivian, you should tell your mummy what’s going on with you.” She is standing outside Vivian’s room
as the door is locked by her.
She has probed many times but there is no response from Vivian at all.
She is almost stretched to her limits. She is planning to influence Vivian so that she can take the
initiative to talk to her first. Otherwise, there is no way she can be at ease.
But how can she pique her interest?
After giving it some thought, Rex is the only solution. Everybody can discern that she likes Rex more
than anyone in the world.
She decides to try again as she knocks on the door once again. She says patiently, “Vivian, if you’re
feeling awful, you can go out and breathe some fresh air. If you’re feeling lazy, you should ask Rex out,
since you should be familiar with him by now. He…”
Before she can finish, the door in front of her is suddenly flung open from inside the room. She is
delighted to see Vivian who has finally appeared in front of her, but before she can celebrate, a torrent
of complaints is immediately thrown at her.
“Rex, Rex, Rex! You are always talking about Rex, but he never for once cares about me at all! He
can’t wait to see me disappear from his eyes forever! Mum, why did you and dad introduce him to me?
He doesn’t like me at all; he already has his eyes on somebody else! That bitch has come back, and he
won't care about me one bit!” Vivian screams at her mother aggressively without caring about her
image. Her saliva is splattered all over the place as she throws a tantrum.
After being shouted at by her daughter, the mother is stunned momentarily. She recovers quickly since
she has been spoiling her since she was a child, “Did you quarrel with Rex?”
“Quarrel?” Vivian laughs coldly as her face is distorted right now, “He doesn’t even want to do that with
me.”
From what she understood of Rex that night, he didn’t even want to waste energy to talk to her. Things
would turn out better if he was willing to fight with her.
“Do you… want me to call Rex to find out what’s going on? You guys were fine two days ago, but why
have things turn out like this today?” Vivian’s mother is heartbroken at the sight of her maniacal
daughter.
Vivian is able to somehow calm down a little after hearing her mother’s suggestion. Despite that, she is
still treading on the edge of madness, “Then you should call him now. There’s nothing else we can do
anyway.”
“Alright, I’ll call him now.” After saying that, she rushes downstairs and picks up her mobile phone. She
calls Rex’s house number, afraid that he won’t answer her if she calls his personal number.
Someone answers her call after a while. The butler confirms her identity before passing the call to
Rex’s grandpa, Adonis Gabbot.
“Yes?”
“Mr. Adonis, it’s me, Belinda Lewis.” She greets him casually as though he is her family.
