My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Huo Mian shook her head, "Not really, I arrived a few minutes ago . "

"Let's order first, what do you want?"

"Anything will do, I don't really have an appetite . "

"Server, let's get a lover's combo, a fruit salad, and dessert . "

"Yes, sir . "

After ordering, Wei Dong turned to look at Huo Mian with a seemingly pleasant attitude .

"Huo Mian, how is your brother doing right now?"

"It's not looking good, we're still waiting to undergo the second operation . "

"Don't worry, he'll get better . "

"Thanks . "

After some polite small talk, Wei Dong brought up the money topic .

"I didn't bring the money today, it's not convenient for me to carry so much cash . When I get to my company tomorrow, I can ask the finance department to transfer the money to you . Just send your bank account number to me via WeChat . "

"Thank you, Wei Dong . I will pay you back as soon as possible, with interest, if you want . "

"What are you talking about? We're old friends, we shouldn't talk about interest . You are underestimating me . "

"I didn't mean it like that, I am just very thankful that… that you can help me . "

"Don't thank me, I actually have something else to say . Maybe you would find me despicable, but I'm being genuine here . Huo Mian, you don't have to pay me back, I only have one condition . Will you be my girlfriend?"

Huo Mian's eyes faltered slightly; she was not too surprised . With her wits, she had already guessed what Wei Dong wanted .

There was no such thing as a free lunch, and all things came with a price .

"But I heard from Lingling that you have a girlfriend . I don't want to be the third person in someone else's relationship," Huo Mian replied .

"She doesn't count as a girlfriend, more like a friend with benefits . Those women are all cheap and despicable, dating me for my money and not for me . I obviously can't be loyal to them . But you are different, I've liked you since high school . Huo Mian, give me a chance, and I'll be good to you . I'm not just playing around, we can get engaged now and be married within a month . After we get married, I'll buy you a house and a car, and let you live comfortably . I'll care for your mom and brother forever too . "

Getting emotional, Wei Dong reached out to hold Huo Mian's hand . However, before he had touched it, Huo Mian raised her hand and put it on her hair as if to fix it, avoiding the awkward contact .

"Wei Dong, you don't like gold diggers or women who date you for your money . How could you be sure that I am not going to date you for that purpose? I am not a fairy, and I am not virtuous . I have my own greed and desires . Fairy tales and TV shows are fictitious, and perfect women like that don't exist . Don't have too much expectation and illusions for what I am not, as there is a difference between reality and fantasy . "

Huo Mian had spoken these words to Wei Dong before, but it seemed like he did not take what she said seriously .

"No, you're not like that . If you really are a gold digger, you wouldn't have broken up with Qin Chu like that all those years ago . Compared to GK, my family is not worth a dime . " Wei Dong used the excuse promisingly .

Upon hearing Qin Chu's name, Huo Mian felt a part of her heartache .

Qin Chu was the part of her past that she could not return to . . .

"Huo Mian, I really like you with all my heart . Please give me a chance," Wei Dong begged again, with a sincere expression on his face .
