Chapter 245 Stuck in the Middle
I was caught off guard by his words and boldly retorted, “You’re being sarcastic, aren’t you?”
“Your turn.” He looked at me meaningfully.
“My turn?”
I suddenly felt nervous. This guy was trying to trap me.
“Is it because of the news online?” He was surprisingly perceptive. I thought he only buried himself in
work, but he had quite a high emotional intelligence.
He actually paid attention to the trending news.
“It’s nothing to do with me. Many things are out of our hands. Swimming to shore rather than strugglingin

Ryan smiled and gently put me down, looking into my face. “You really are a little brat. You won’tchoose
me as your husband, yet you won’t let me leave? Why should I?”
He playfully pinched my nose. “Alright! I promise you, even if you don’t choose me, I won’t leave you!I’ll Just suffer for a lifetime! I’ll drown in my unrecruited love, you tyrant!”
I threw myself into his arms. “I knew you’d agree. Once you promise, you can’t go back on it!”
“Am I that foolish? I chose against money and love!” He joked with a serious face.
