You Are Brighter Than Stars - C267
Chapter 267 – Where is the destination?
“CEO, here we are.”
The driver in front broke the silence between me and Slow.
“Get out.”
I didn’t ask him where he had gotten off the bus and followed him down. I didn’t turn around to look at him, as if I was sure that I would follow him.
We walked down the long lawn, past the garden, past the pool, and finally stopped in front of a duplex.
I looked at the villa, waiting for a gentle explanation.
According to his gentle personality, he wouldn’t do something for no reason. Everything he did was decided after careful deliberation, so I wasn’t in a hurry, nor was I in a hurry.
“Lin Xiang, this is the present I prepared for you and the child before you left. It may be a little late now, but it can still be considered as fulfilling a wish of mine from back then.
I raised my head to look at her in astonishment. I don’t know why, but my chest was so stuffy. I couldn’t tell if it was due to the words she said five years ago or if she was the one that said ‘I will not disturb you’.
“Let’s go. Consider this as giving me some face and allowing me to prepare a gift to meet my former master.”
I could hear the pretense of ease in his gentle tone.
This kind of gentleness, this calmness, this gentleness, I am sure I have never seen it before.
“Alright.”
Since I am already here, I should take a look at the present that I prepared slowly. To be honest, I actually have a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
Based on his gentle personality, what kind of gifts would he prepare, and when did he prepare them? Why didn’t I notice anything?
The door of the villa was slowly opened. There were servants inside, too. It seemed that even after so many years had passed, they still found someone to take care of it.
For a moment, I was stifled.
The moment I entered the hall, I even thought that I had entered a painting exhibition where various kinds of paintings were placed. What made my mood the most complicated was that the people in the paintings were somehow similar to me, while the wedding dress in the living room attracted my attention the most.
I must have been staring at the wedding dress, “Well, I was going to personally dress you in that wedding dress five years ago and give you a grand wedding, but you asked for a divorce the week before I was going to surprise you.”
The wedding dress is my favorite color, even the lines to the jewellery on it is my favorite.
I suddenly remembered that when I was living abroad, there was a rumor online that Master Joey had designed a bridal gown as a work of art, and that was one of the designs that Master Joey was most satisfied with.
Although I have never worn it, I seem to be able to see my wedding dress from five years ago. If that did not happen, I would probably be wearing this wedding dress, which is called the Star of Luck, with a blissful expression, right?
Unfortunately, Fate played a joke on me.
I looked away.
“That’s really lucky. I believe that this wedding dress will find the owner that really suits it.”
Stubbornness on the face of a dead duck would most likely be someone like me. Even though I’m extremely happy in my heart, I’m not willing to show it. I even feel that it would be a bit shameful to say it out loud.
“Let’s go up to the second floor.” He didn’t continue the topic, nor did he follow my instructions. He suddenly grabbed my arm and headed towards the second floor.
The second floor was much more extravagant than the first. Looking at all kinds of electronic products and children’s toys, I thought I had arrived at the mall.
Slow down, do you care so much about that child?
Floor by floor, room by room, he gently pulled me through, and I stood with him in front of the French windows, more than a meter apart, a distance of restraint and reason for us.
“Lin Xiang, I might be getting married. If you are willing to come back to my side, I am willing to cancel the wedding ceremony for you, or set it as our wedding ceremony.”
To think that he would say such words with such a gentle arrogance. To think that his tone would also contain ‘please’, this isn’t the same ‘gentleness’ that I know, it isn’t the same proud man that I know.
“And if I say no?” I asked.
“Then I’ll get married as scheduled, and I won’t be your woman.”
Is it hard for me to listen to such words?
I asked in my mind, but there was no answer.
I don’t know how I feel.
“Relax, this is the reason why I’m looking for you today. Do you know who you want to marry?”
If it wasn’t for Ouyang Fei, if it wasn’t for that phone call, if it wasn’t for the nightmare after that phone call, I probably wouldn’t have looked for him slowly. But now, I have no choice but to look for him.
He slowly shook his head, leaned on the railing and looked down from the second floor, “Lin Xiang, no matter who that person is, to me, they are only women. And you, are the woman I love.”
Reaching out slowly to touch my pocket, I saw a corner of the cigarette box sticking out of the thin pocket, but probably thinking of my aversion to the smell of the cigarette, he withdrew his hand from the cigarette box, fidgeting with his hands as he fidgeted with it.
“Be gentle. If I had heard what you said five years ago, I might not have left so decisively.” I tilted my head to the side and suddenly felt that we were talking a little like old friends whom I hadn’t seen for years, even though we had been the closest couple. “You haven’t answered my question directly.”
“What do you want me to say? I only care if that person is you, or is it you? What does who she is have to do with me? These years, every single day is like a year for me. ” He walked up to me and grabbed my shoulder, forcing me to look at him, “Lin Xiang, do you know? “After you left, the family made me marry another woman to consider the inheritance of the family. Originally, I didn’t need to agree to it, but I wanted to gamble, and whether or not you will really let me go.”
“I told them that if you didn’t come back within a year, I would be engaged to the person they had chosen, and if you couldn’t come back within five years, I would marry the person they had chosen, but when you came back, your heart didn’t seem to be with me anymore, so what exactly do you want me to do? What can I do to accept me? ”
I took two steps back, “Be gentle, you understand, it is not a matter of accepting or not accepting between us, whether it is you or me, we are not in the wrong, but right now, we are enemies, enemies, do you understand? Your little brother killed my parents, how can I accept you? ”
Can he really understand it?
“Impossible!” Her gentle voice was resolute and decisive, denying my words almost instantly, “Lin Xiang, although he has a bad personality, he would definitely not do anything against the law.”
“So you think I’m slandering your brother?” I looked at her slowly, and my eyes felt a little sour. “If it wasn’t a simple thought, then who could it be? The one lying in the fire is not your parents, but the one who raised me. In one night, I became an orphan! Furthermore, he said that he had taken control of my parents, so I, Lin Xiang, would not go and splash dirty water on others! ”
“He said the day before that something had happened to my parents the next day. If it wasn’t him, who else could it be? Tell me, slow it down? If he isn’t your good brother, then who is he? ”
For the past five years, I have dreamt countless nights that my parents would blame me for my actions. Because of me, they were indirectly killed by me, and if I hadn’t approached you back then, I wouldn’t have acted so crazily against them.
It’s already a fact. It’s not possible between you and me, I’m only looking for you to give up on your marriage with the Ouyang Family. If you feel ashamed of my parents and want to atone for your sins, then don’t try to marry me.
At that moment, I couldn’t control my emotions.
Seeing that he was about to speak up, I threatened him, “Calm down, no matter what, you must reject this marriage. Otherwise, you will never be able to see your son again, and your son will also be covered with the Bo Family’s blood. If you don’t, I don’t mind taking your son to hell to find my parents.”
