One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love
Chapter 2290: NegotiationChapter 2290: Negotiation
“…”
Mu Yancheng’s heart sank.
“Although this is our first meeting, there’s no need for all this mumbo-jumbo. We don’t have to put on an act for anyone, either,” Lin Xueya said indifferently.
With that, she bypassed him arrogantly and walked toward the couch.
Her neglect turned the courteous smile on his face into something rigid. He retrieved his hand uneasily.
It was said that the missy of the Lin family had a first-lady temper and was peevish. Having personally met her now, it seemed that she was indeed hard to tame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, her response instigated his primitive desire for conquest.
He smiled and sat down on the couch opposite of her.
Facing the cold woman, Mu Yancheng exchanged conventional greetings with full zest. Despite flaunting his charm and wits, an icy look remained on Lin Xueya’s face, which was nonchalant and expressionless.
He began to feel frustrated.
This woman was harder to deal with than he had ever imagined.
She did not respond at all, causing the situation to plunge into an even more awkward atmosphere. Although he was filled with enthusiasm, he did not know how to continue the conversation as she refused to speak to him!
He furrowed his eyebrows unconsciously. As a relationship hunter, even he felt helpless with the still and frozen atmosphere.
The lady smiled all of a sudden.
“Mu Yancheng, are you really taking this meeting seriously? I thought you’re just accomplishing this half-heartedly like I do!”
“How could that be?!”
Although the man was secretly unhappy, he maintained a polite smile on his face. “Miss Xueya, I value this meeting a lot. After all, this is the beginning of us dating. I still sincerely hope that we can have a favorable start.”
“Oh, you sure are patient,” responded Lin Xueya in a lukewarm manner, “but I’m not surprised. After all, to achieve the position as the head of the family, it’s especially crucial for you to pick a powerful marriage partner.”
He was taken aback.
“Isn’t it true? To put it bluntly, this marriage is based on the selfish motives of both our families. Your second uncle planned this marriage in hopes of helping you clinch the position as the family head. Unfortunately, you are from a branch family—a rather disappointing, petty, and low one at that. To be the family head, you must gain more bargaining chips!” mocked the missy.
Her bluntness inevitably made him look bad.
Mu Yancheng was made furious by her humiliating words and barely managed to rein in his anger. Unexpectedly, after a while, he smiled.

His posture instantly relaxed, too lazy to keep pretending. “What about you? Since you’ve known the reason behind this intentional meeting, why did you still show up?”
“That’s because I have no say on my marriage affairs, so why should I bother about it?”
Lin Xueya paused for a moment before smiling icily. “If I agree to marry you, though, there’s something I hope that you won’t mind.”
“What?”
“After being married, I won’t probe about your personal life, but you shouldn’t intrude in mine, either. You can fool around with other women, and I won’t complain, but at the same time, you’re not allowed to meddle if I get another man on the side. How about it?”
Mu Yancheng’s face darkened in an instant.
“Are you negotiating with me right now?”
“One must have capital before a negotiation.”
Lin Xueya smiled coldly. “Marrying me will definitely give you benefits. Likewise, talking terms with it as my leverage isn’t over the top.”
