Translator: MoboReader Editor: MoboReader
“What if the person who likes you is a rich man and can provide you a strong backing? Won’t it be a very good opportunity for you to make it into the entertainment industry with lesser efforts?” Lu Heting said in a low voice.
“Well, if I happen to like him too, I can let him support me or I can even support him,” Su Bei replied with a smile.
Her words caused a stir in Lu Heting’s heart.
Then Su Bei’s red lips twitched slightly. “But if I don’t like him, it’s useless even if he gives me billions of money. What can I give in return for the resources he will give me? My ability? What’s the use of relying on him if I am already capable enough? And if I don’t have the ability, what can I trade? My body and soul? The one who doesn’t deserve the position will suffer. What’s more, the gifts given by fate have long been secretly priced.”
Lu Heting’s heart skipped a beat while listening to Su Bei’s words quietly.
She looked arrogant and unruly on the surface. But she was so smart to figure out so many things.
However, his heart also sank. He couldn’t help but feel afraid that his real identity would scare her, and she would stay away from him. He might even make her run away again, just like what she did five years ago.
Su Bei turned her head and looked at Lu Heting seriously. Then she suddenly smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, are you asking about my private life?”
“Sort of.”
“Then, how about we take this chance to know each other? Can I ask you about your private life too?” Su Bei asked. She thought that this was a good chance for her to ask him about his current relationship status.
Last time, he refused to answer her. She wasn’t sure if he’d refuse again this time.
Lu Heting’s mood lightened up because of Su Bei’s initiative. With his eyes fixed ahead, he said in a soft voice, “Then shall I pick you up from now on?”
Since she wanted them to get to know each other, he chose to use the way of spending more time with her.
It was supposed to be a question. But he said it in a firm tone, logical and clear, giving her no chance to refuse.
Lu Heting’s voice was mature and sexy. Although it was a short and simple sentence, Su Bei found it so attractive that her heart almost jumped.
‘Calm down,’ she told herself, patting her chest.
He was her husband before. But she didn’t know if he still was or if he had another woman now.
“You’re going to pick me up every day?” Su Bei asked, looking at Lu Heting’s handsome face while he focused on driving.
“Yes. I will try my best.”
She smiled brightly, thinking that she could take this opportunity to know more about him.
Only when she made sure that he was a trustworthy man would she return Da Bao to him and recognize him as Da Bao’s father.
Lu Heting tilted his head and glanced at her. There, he noticed the hint of joy flashing through her eyes.
It pleased him. It turned out that she also liked meeting him in some way.
Su Bei smiled and said, “You know what? I admire you. You are focused, calm, and have a certain degree of freedom to do what you want. You don’t have to fight for anything, and you can enjoy your leisure time. It’s really great.”
She hoped that Da Bao could also live such a peaceful and great life with him in the future.
All of a sudden, Su Bei felt a spasm in her stomach.
“Oh, no! My stomach aches.” A bad feeling surged up in her heart.
Since she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer in the United States, she had given up the treatment. She only took medicine when she felt severe pain occasionally.
The doctor advised her to undergo chemotherapy. However, she didn’t want to waste her precious time. She needed to find support for Da Bao. What was more, she also didn’t want to lose her pretty chestnut curly hair. She hated to endure her ugly appearance before she left the world.
