My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: I Can Take You Away Now!_1

Su Hongxing found Cao Shiyu’s anger to be extremely amusing. freёwebnovel.com

She asked, with a slight smile, “Mr. Cao, should I move into the Cao’s house if I agree to be your adopted daughter?”

Cao Zhen was taken aback before he replied with a laugh, “You can live wherever you want.”

As long as Su Hongxing stops rejecting him, he is willing to do anything for her.

“But Shiyu has made it very clear, it’s either me or her. As long as she’s around, I will never be able to step foot into the Cao’s house. So, why would I bring such humiliation upon myself?” Su Hongxing queried while flashing her eyes subtly.

This seemed puzzling.

Her encounters with Cao Zhen had been scarce.

So, why would he want to adopt her?

Cao Shiyu is Cao Zhen’s precious daughter, why would he hurt her for someone unrelated like her?!

If she had something he could exploit, it would make sense.

Unfortunately, she was penniless. Even if Cao Zhen indeed wanted the Cao and Ye families to unite through marriage, he certainly wouldn’t choose such a poor method.

As she pondered, Cao Zhen’s act felt even more bizarre.

“You don’t have to mind what Shiyu said. As long as you agree to be my adopted daughter, I’ll provide whatever you want.”

Upon Cao Zhen’s proclamation, everyone present was rendered speechless.

Ye Qilan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, suddenly sensing that this wasn’t a good situation.

With Cao Zhen’s power and influence in Taicheng, controlling Su Hongxing would become difficult if she had his backing.

“If you don’t want to be with Qilan, I can take you away right now!” Cao Zhen threw another tempting bait.

Su Hongxing’s heart stirred.

No doubt Cao Zhen was a shrewd negotiator, astute enough to discern her weakness.

Ever since meeting Ye Qilan, her freedom had been constrained, and that was what she yearned for now more than anything else.

“Su Hongxing couldn’t go anywhere. She’s carrying the Ye Family’s descendent, she is destined to be part of the Ye family,” Ye Qilan immediately caught Su Hongxing’s wavering sentiment.

Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan and then at Cao Shiyu.

In the end, she looked at Cao Zhen, meeting his focused gaze with a smile.

Cao Zhen’s gaze seemed to not only rest on her but also look past her towards someone else…

Upon witnessing Su Hongxing’s rare smile, he was reminded of another woman. A woman, who, when she smiled, was equally gorgeous. It’s been many years and yet, he thought he would never see such a smile again. And then Su Hongxing appeared.

Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Cao Zhen gently patted Su Hongxing’s shoulder, “Child, think about it carefully. If you become my daughter, I assure a life of peace and prosperity.”

Su Hongxing slowly nodded, “I will reconsider.”

At that moment, she suddenly found the idea of becoming Cao Zhen’s adopted daughter less repulsive.

The thought of Cao Meiyu, Zhou Luhe, and Cao Shiyu being forced to accept her as a part of the “Cao family” was incredibly amusing to her.

Before Cao Zhen left, Su Hongxing accompanied him to the door.

With no one around, she voiced her doubt, “Why do you want to adopt me?”

There must be a reason why Cao Zhen wanted to adopt her.

Strangely enough, she deeply despised the women of the Cao family, but she didn’t seem to harbor such strong hatred towards Cao Zhen.

After looking at Su Hongxing for a while, Cao Zhen replied, “You should go back. You need to take care of your health. It doesn’t matter if Qilan doesn’t appreciate you. In the future, I’ll help you find a husband better than him.”
