The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1396

However, Celine was not angry. She looked at Darryl and said softly, "Okay, stop it and put me down. Queenie is still out there; she's waiting for you to save her."

F*ck…

'So, she knew that I was acting?'

Darryl was stunned; he looked intently at Celine. "Did you know that I was doing it on purpose?"

'This woman is extremely observant. How did she know when I've acted so professionally?"

Celine sighed and said slowly, "Queenie told me that you're a good person. I believed her when she said that you are not a frivolous and promiscuous person."

Celine looked solemn when she said that.

Darryl felt bored when she could see through his act.

He put Celine down as he muttered in his heart. Then, he thought of something; he smiled and said, "However, I wasn't pretending when I said that."

Celine adjusted her clothes and responded instinctively, "When you said what?"

"That only you can be my woman." Darryl looked into Celine's eyes as he said that with a smile.

Of course, that was also a joke. He teased her because she had seen through him right from the beginning when he pretended in front of the Four Dragons and Four Phoenixes. He thought it was boring for her to sniff out his plan.

Celine shook her head when she saw how Darryl had looked at her. "You are not qualified to be my man yet."

'Not qualified?'

Darryl was stunned; he asked her with a smile. "Did you say that I'm not qualified?"

Celine smiled plainly. "My man must be a gentleman—knowledgeable and powerful. Nothing less. So, you're not qualified enough yet."

Darryl took a deep breath. He realized that Celine was an interesting woman. He smiled and said, "It is easy to be a gentleman. As for power, I am the Elysium Gate's Sect Master. I'm quite powerful but not exceptionally powerful. The world has nine continents. What if I unite three or four of them and be its emperor? Is that considered powerful? Am I qualified enough to be your man then?"

Celine frowned, "What did you say?"
