Chapter 186
No matter how I refused, I was forced to take a lot of clothes and bags that were all allegedly gifts to reward me. Lou Sha put on an underworld gangster expression and said, "Don't you dare refuse or I will sort you out! You must wear them! Otherwise, be careful of me beating you up! How can my husband's younger sister be looking so poverty-stricken, people will think that I am mean to you."
As she said this, she fisted her knuckles and cracked them. Bull devil beside her desperately handed me money and loudly said, "If you need money look for big brother, no matter the amount. If anyone bullies you, tell me, even though I cannot kill anyone now, I can nevertheless go make them paralyzed."
A cold wind blew through the bustling city street of O city's most prosperous commercial district and passerbys who were near us slowly began to distance themselves.
Lou Sha forced me to let her drive me to my neighboorhood and stopped in front of the alley of my apartment. After that, she abandoned me to go enjoy her conjugal love with Bull devil, who was happily waving his hand as they left, appearing to be in a very good mood.
I have only heard of someone who has been violently robbed, but have never heard of someone who has been violently given gifts.
I am standing on the street holding bags of Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Prada, etc. in y hands, and I am also holding what is at least a 100,000 in cash. I stood there lifelessly, I don't know myself whether these two suspicious people can be considered experiencing good luck or is it nevertheless, bad luck.
When I get back, I will talk to Hua Rong about this experience to try to understand this kind of people are aiming for, and will hide these stuff in the cupboard, so if there are any problems in the future it'll be easier to deal with. I helplessly shook my head and made my way to my simple room. As I walked past, I looked at the pet hospital across the road. Today it was open for business, the windows were not covered, instead, they were open and it was brightly lit inside and it looked very warm. There were a few congratulatory flower arrangements around the entrance. The signboard that was covered with the red sheet was finally revealed, exposing the true identity of the store ---Miao Miao Pet hospital.
I was immediately stunned, the wind hit me and my mind was in a disarray for a long time, I could not speak at all.
I have had so many strange things happening to me recently...Even the name of a pet hospital across from my house is similar to my name, isn't this particularly strange? I stared at the hospital and was helpless so I went home and carefully removed all the things in my wardrobe, which amounted to 78 bucks and carefully put in the items I had received. The wardrobe was not enough. I had to find a storage box and still had a few bags that I could not fit in.
The phone rang, it was a call from Ao Yun, he was very warm and said that he wanted us to go out to eat. After that, we talked for a bit, and his tone was very proper but also had a pleading element and so I could not refuse.
Recently, he often comes to the entrance of the school to wait for Xiao Mao and I, and ended up waiting for me when Xiao Mao wasn't there. Even if I am slow, I still understood what was going on. He explained to me that he had seen me in a previous Taekwondo competition and fell in love at first sight, then he searched high and low for me after the competition. In the end, Heaven will not disappoint those who work hard, he was able to find me in O city, so he was not willing to let go.
This explanation was very dubious, but his feelings did not seem fake. Plus initial impression was very good. Therefore, I did not refuse his requests for a date. I just unwilling to go to luxurious restaurants with him the most. So the locations were changed to sports venues or cinemas.
This time he actually decided differently and set the location for a top floor revolving restaurant of the most luxurious hotel in the city. Therefore, I went to go look for Hua Rong to help me apply light make up. I put on my best dress and waited for him to pick me up.
Ao Yun didn't say anything during the car ride. I entered the revolving restaurant and there was no one in sight, just like those exaggerated plots in Korean and Japanese dramas, it was completely empty. There was the sound of the piano playing softly, completing the romantic atmosphere. The table was sprinkled with roses, the aged wine in the crystal decanter was as shiny as a gem. After the waiters delivered the appetizers, they silently withdrew.
It was already night. Outside the windows, you could see the most prosperous areas of the city. There are high rise buildings everywhere and there were countless lights flashing around, making one feel like they were really standing amongst the stars. And in the actual night sky, there were no stars, just a bright moon that seems to possess all the radiance in the world.
Ao Yun graciously entertained me during the meal. But my heart was feeling weird, it was hard to eat, so I got straight to the point and asked, "What exactly did you look for me for today?"
"I didn't have the patience to wait." Ao Yun stopped, took out a small golden box from his pocket, gently opened it and a large diamond ring was revealed, "I want to ask you to marry me after graduation."
"That's not good." I quickly answered.
"Why?" Ao Yun's expression did not change, but his eyes dimmed, "I will make you happy. Anything you want in the world, as long as you want it, you will get it. Wherever you want to go, you can go."
I also don't why my instinct is to refuse.
"I am very serious in this life, I will never be unfaithful and forever be loyal to you." Ao Yun made a promise that every woman wants to hear. His sincere promise made it so one cannot help but be moved.
I thought about it and said, "Our households are unsuitable, your family will most likely not like me."
"That is not a problem." Ao Yun laughed, "I've already spoken to my father a long time ago...No, my father has already informed that he has no objections whatsoever. So it will not be difficult for you. My mother has lived deep in the mountains for a long time. She does not like to interact with outsiders, she would not be concerned about it all."
"It's too sudden, we've only known each other a little over a month."
"If we've been together for one day, it is better than a millennium."
"I still haven't really understood you yet."
"Then just accept the engagement first and then can slowly understand whatever you want to know about me, I guarantee not to hide anything from you and will tell you everything."
"..." I did not have anything to say, but just lowered my head, "Let me think about it."
"Can you give me an answer within three days?" Ao Yun seemed to be very eager.
I nodded and agree.
So he didn't continue to insist and urged me to continue eating as if nothing happened and helped me to open up some crab shells treating me like a child. This meticulousness was very moving.
When he took me back, he confidently said to me when we arrived, "I will wait for your good news."
I didn't answer, just silently walked out of the car and thanked him. After returning to my room, I held the big Kitty cat and thought, he seemed so determined. So, I called Xiao Yu to discuss and get the advice of a friend. She taught me like I was a fool, "If you miss a good man and such a good marriage, you will regret it into your next life. This Ao Yun is wealthy and has the appearance of a diamond turtle, even princesses and Hollywood stars will not wast time to grab such a good man, and you are unexpectedly still hesitating? Simply coming to show off to me! Remember to marry him and don't forget me!"
After receiving a scolding for half an hour, I hung up the phone. Hua Rong knocked on my door with a bunch of dried fish and said that she couldn't sleep and so wanted to chat with me.
I took the opportunity to mention my troubles, she was actually very surprised and said, "Ao Yun? I know him. My father is very familiar with his secretary. His character is very good and kindhearted, if you can marry him, it will definitely be your good fortune."
"Really? Should I really marry him?" From childhood till now, I have never been so confused and hesitant, what is stopping me?
"You should." Hua Rong nodded, there's a flash of sadness on her face, but it was quickly replaced as if I had imagined it. "I used to work in that company, and he had a picture of you on his desk. He loves you very much, you should believe it."
But do I love him? From the time Ao Yun appeared in front of me, whenever I see his face, my heartbeat speeds up and I have a very favorable impression of him. According to general analysis, this feeling should undoubtedly be love.
Yes, I must love him. So I shouldn't hesitate to agree...agree...to marry him.
Under the brainwashing and persuasion of Hua Rong, I thought that this marriage may be the best choice for my life. So three days later, Ao Yun took me to see his father and my parents and put a heavy diamond ring on my finger with the consent of my parents. It seemed to weigh 30 catties, the pressure was immense and I couldn't lift the finger.
On the way back, he said to me very excitedly, "I am going to make sure you to live a more extravagant life than Queen Mary, everyday carefree with no worries, I want you to forever be worry-free."
I smiled, at this moment he was so excited, that I didn't dare ask the question that was in my mind.
Is the luxurious life of Queen Mary really happiness? There seems to be a hole in my heart that I couldn't fill, it was making me feel depressed and unable to enjoy myself.
In the face of such a perfect man, I am still wondering if my heart is being too greedy to be thinking all these?
In the evening, I dreamt of the beautiful girl called Hua Miao Miao. She was crying and was very heart-broken. When I got up in the morning, I actually found my own tears had flowed and wet my pillow.
Is this Master Zhuang dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Master Zhuang?
***(Her idea here is that is she mirroring Hua Miao Miao's pain by crying in reality or is Hua Miao Miao in the dream mirroring the emptiness that she feels in her heart)***
***(Zhuang Zi is a Chinese philosopher, one of his most famous works is his butterfly dream...where he dreamt he was a butterfly happily enjoying his butterfly life, unaware of the man he was...then he woke up and realized he was the man, Zhuang Zi...so he was contemplating whether he was actually the butterfly dreaming of being the man, Zhuang Zi...the idea is the butterfly life felt just as real as his life as Zhuang Zi...so how can one tell what their true reality is? Quite interesting
