Chapter 360: Love is anything but complicated
Si Xia wondered what Chen was talking about as they both said goodbye to Mi Chang and walked out of his bungalow.
But the question was soon driven out of his mind as Yu Chen called Huo Zenghai from the car.
"Hello?" Yu Chen spoke, stretching herself in the shotgun seat.
"Chen I'm gonna thrown up!!!!????" Huo Zenghai's voice came from the other end, full of anxiety.
Yu Chen giggled, "Why? Don't tell me you're pregnant before marriage."
"Don't joke Chen. I'm really feeling too nervous." Zenghai sounded like he was about to cry.
Yu Chen sighed, "Don't tell me you're getting cold feet now Zenghai."
Huo Zenghai: "I was just..... wondering if I should do it. . . .in such a public way?"
Yu Chen shrugged, "I don't know Zenghai. It was your idea. It's fine if you wanna give her a more private proposal. What's important is that you two love each other and want to be together. How or when you ask her is not that important."
Huo Zenghai: "..."
Chen: "Zenghai? You there?"
Zenghai: "Yeah."
Chen: "You all right? You wanna call off the proposal?"
Chen heard Zenghai sighing before he said, "No. You're right Chen. The place and time don't matter. What matters is us. I'm gonna do it."
"Good for you Zenghai." Yu Chen beamed, "You want Xia to come over?"
"No." Huo Zenghai answered. His voice was resolute with a hint of nervousness, "I'll be fine. Ask him to take care of everything at the venue please."
"Of course." Chen answered before hanging up.
"Cold feet?" Si Xia asked from the driving seat.
Yu Chen sighed, "Yeah. The problem is. . . Zenghai isn't really sure Hua wants to marry him."
Si Xia's eyes popped out of their sockets. "Is he nuts!!!????" he shrieked.
"Exactly." Chen said, "But it's not really his fault either. Hua loves him with all her heart and Zenghai knows it too. But he must doubt her commitment as she has never once mentioned Zenghai to her parents."
Si Xia sighed, "Love's too complicated."
Yu Chen said, "Yeah." She looked out of window and spoke internally, "Love is anything but complicated. We humans insist on making it so." Her eyes gleamed with the ghost of the days from some other time when she used to hate love and the one she loved.
Si Xia dropped off Chen at the apartment asked, poking his head out of the window, "Will you be at the event?"
Chen shrugged, "I don't think so. But I'll be rooting for all of you in front of the T.V. screen."
"You wouldn't let me get you a ticket." Si Xia pouted. Yu Chen pinched his cheeks, "It would start rumours if President Si asks for a normal ticket. Now go on."
Yu Chen went into the apartment building as Si Xia drive off.
Inside Huo Zenghai's apartment. . . .
Huo Zenghai stood in front of a life size mirror and stared at his reflection.
He was wearing a dark maroon suit with black pants. His hair were slicked back and he looked rather handsome. The suit had been picked out for him by Xi Hua when he had said that he wanted to take her as his guest to the award function.
And Chen had supposedly ordered a matching dress for Xi Hua.
