A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 131 I'd Rather Die Than Fall in Love with You

Su Yingxue followed Zhao Dakuang to the restaurant.

She noticed that the color scheme here matched the style of the room perfectly.

The tablecloth was gray, and the plates were gray too.

Seeing all this, she instantly lost her appetite.

She looked up at Zhao Da Kuang and asked, "What's the name of this manor?"

Zhao Da Kuang replied with a smile, "It's called Golden Jade Manor. My vast fortune is located here."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue curled her lip in disdain: "This name doesn't fit at all. This place is lifeless. It would be better to call it 'Netherworld Manor'."

Zhao Dakang shrugged slightly and said, "The name of the manor is just a symbol. However, if you have a better name, I'm willing to change it. I've been waiting for you to appear and for you to give this place new meaning."

As he said this, he glanced at Su Yingxue, as if he would hand over everything here to her if she nodded.

Su Yingxue gave a soft hum and teased, "I think 'Netherworld Manor' is quite good; it fits this gloomy feeling perfectly."

Although she was extremely dissatisfied with the color scheme of the manor, she was very hungry and decided to try the dishes on the table.

She picked up a piece of steamed fish with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and savored it. She found that it tasted surprisingly good.

Then she tasted the braised pork, and the rich flavor spread on her tongue, making her nod slightly in approval.

Zhao Da Kuang was enjoying his lunch with an elegant demeanor, exuding composure in every gesture.

Su Yingxue sat opposite, looking at the gray landscape, feeling a mix of emotions, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "I say, the name of this manor needs to be changed. 'Netherworld Manor' would be quite suitable."

She had expected Zhao Da Kuang to retort or show displeasure.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Da Kuang didn't even lift his eyelids and agreed without thinking: "As long as you like it, that's fine. From now on, you'll be the mistress of this manor. You can name it whatever you want; I don't care."

The tone was so casual, as if they were discussing today's weather.

Su Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise, and she almost dropped her chopsticks: "You agreed so easily? I thought you were joking."

Zhao Da Kuang put down his cutlery, his expression serious, and looked directly into Su Yingxue's eyes: "When have I ever made such a joke?"

Su Yingxue snorted and teased, "Oh, you didn't even ask me why I chose this name before agreeing to it so casually. How carefree of you."

Zhao Da Kuang slightly curled his lips, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "This name is quite in line with my style, you know that very well."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue felt a surge of superiority and thought to herself: Tan Zhengchu and his sons are usually very clever, but this time they've run into Zhao Dakuang, who is such a "fool," and she managed to easily outmaneuver him.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Dakang spoke up without warning, his tone unusually serious: "Yingxue, marry me. From now on, I will cherish you and Xiaoqi, and hold you and your daughter in the palm of my hand."

Su Yingxue was stunned when she heard these words.

She never expected Zhao Da Kuang to pull such a stunt.

Zhao Dakang himself felt a little uncomfortable, after all, this was the first time he had so frankly revealed his feelings to someone.

He was used to hiding his emotions, so his words were stiff and blunt.

After realizing what was happening, Su Yingxue was shocked and refused without hesitation: "Zhao Da Kuang, are you crazy! I love Tan Zhengchu. We have seven children together. That's my family!"

She straightened her back and stated her position without backing down: "We've only met a few times. I already have a family. I will never agree to such an absurd thing as a whirlwind marriage."

Zhao Da Kuang frowned slightly, a hint of dejection flashing in his eyes, but his determination remained undiminished.

He stared intently at Su Yingxue, as if he wanted to crush her rejection with his gaze, showing no sign of giving up until he achieved his goal.

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like you could wring water out of it.

Zhao Da Kuang and Su Yingxue sat facing each other at opposite ends.

Zhao Da Kuang acted as if he hadn't heard Su Yingxue's earlier refusal.

He remained calm and composed, eating his food methodically, the clinking of his knife and fork against his plate producing a soft sound.

Suddenly, Zhao Da Kuang put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

He clasped his hands together, leaned slightly forward, and spoke with unwavering certainty and confidence: "Yingxue, you may be stubborn now, but from now on, you will only love me. Tan Zhengchu? He will never see Xiaoqi and you again. The three of us will live peacefully and happily in this manor."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue gripped the edge of the table tightly with both hands, her almond-shaped eyes widening as she angrily retorted, "Zhao Da Kuang, don't even dream about it! I'd rather die than fall in love with you! Let's make a bet: if I fall in love with you, I'll give you my life; but if I don't, you have to let me and Xiao Qi leave!"

Su Yingxue's chest heaved violently, and anger burned like a raging fire in her eyes.

But the thought of Xiao Qi still being trapped here forced him to grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

Looking at Su Yingxue's exasperated appearance, Zhao Dakuang smiled nonchalantly.

He casually waved his hand and said, "A bet is a bet, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

That confident look on his face made it seem as if victory was already firmly in his grasp.

Su Yingxue sat back down in her chair, recalling Zhao Dakuang's undetected use of a sleeping drug on the plane, and a chill ran through her heart.

She clenched her fists tightly, becoming increasingly wary of him.

This person is like a madman, with too many tricks and too deep a mind; we must not let our guard down.

Su Yingxue took a deep breath and calmed herself down a bit.

She tried to make her voice sound gentle: "My daughter Xiaoqi is still asleep. I want to go see her. She'll probably be hungry when she wakes up. Could you have someone prepare some soft porridge and some small desserts?"

Zhao Dakang nodded slightly, a rare hint of warmth appearing on his face: "Don't worry, I will make proper arrangements. Xiaoqi is also a child I care about, and I won't mistreat her."

Su Yingxue got up and left her seat. As she passed by the window, she looked out the window.

Outside the restaurant stretched an endless expanse of green fields.

There were no houses or even any landmarks to be found around, making it feel like an isolated island.

Her heart sank to the bottom, filled with confusion.

Where am I? And how do I send a distress signal to Tan Zhengchu?

Without location information, Tan Zhengchu had no way of finding them.

Wouldn't that mean I and Xiao Qi would be trapped here and die?

Stepping out of the restaurant, a gentle breeze blows.

Su Yingxue felt a sense of powerlessness.

Looking around, the emptiness was despairing, and the clueless environment made her feel like a lone boat lost in a vast ocean.

But Su Yingxue has a stubborn streak in her bones.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, secretly vowing: no matter how difficult it is, she must get the necklace back.

The GPS tracking function hidden in the necklace was her only hope of escaping.

Only by contacting Tan Zhengchu could the mother and daughter escape this terrible predicament.
