Chapter 1051 Taking Back Regal Peaks (VI)

• The smile on Zheng Mingjie’s face went stiff for a second. He cleared his throat, then put the smile back on. “Xiaoxiao, I’m serious. I’m not joking with you. Look closely at this transfer agreement. I’m offering it in total good faith. If I want to be with you, of course I want it to last. So like you said, getting married today and divorcing tomorrow? No way. That’s a joke. Marriage is for life—getting hitched today and bailing tomorrow is just playing house. And if I said I’d give you the equity today and yank it back tomorrow, you wouldn’t accept that either, right?”
• “In other words, I’m swapping equity worth several billion for one day with you. That price is way too steep, don’t you think?” Zheng Mingjie teased.
• “And this only helps you. There’s no downside.” Zheng Mingjie looked sincere. “Xiaoxiao, we’ve known each other practically since we were born. In my heart, you’ve always been my wife. I’ve never thought about being with anyone but you. You know this. All these years, I’ve given you everything I’ve got. Don’t tell me you were never moved, never felt anything for me. Xiaoxiao, trust me—I’ll protect you, like before, and take care of you for life. And Regal Peaks will still be yours. What’s wrong with that? You know Mr. Wembley and Mrs. Langston gave a lifetime to Regal Peaks. Isn’t Mr. Wembley in the hospital, seriously ill, because he lost Regal Peaks? If I hand Regal Peaks back to you now, what’s left for him to be heartbroken about?”
