Capítulo 33: promise you
The propellers roared, the helicopter took off,
Flying towards the sky, the people on the playground gradually became smaller until they disappeared.
Wen Meng was not flying at high altitude for the first time
Whether it was on the back of a thunderbird or the sight of a spaceship weaving through the nebula, it was far more breathtaking than this moment.
But her heart was a hundred times more nervous than it was then.
She was alone with an adult man.
An unfamiliar, grown man.
The helicopter could only seat two people, so Huo Xiao's adjutant did not come along.
Wen Meng clutched the corner of her plaid skirt, regret filling her heart
If only there were a disaster beast by my side right now.
She didn't know where Huo Xiao was taking her, nor did she know what he wanted to say to her.
In the original owner's memory, she and Huo Xiao had hardly met a few times
Friendship, that was out of the question.
Huo Xiao did not notice Wen Meng's nervousness as he piloted the helicopter to a gentle landing on a mountain platform.
This is a verdant mountain outside the upper city district, lush with forests, rich in flora and fauna, with a lake and hot springs on the mountain.
But only certain areas are open to tourists,
Wen Meng looked around; there was no one in sight.
The place where they landed was not within the open area.
The scenery in uninhabited places is even more breathtaking.
Climbing high to take in the view, the warm sun shines, and beneath the clouds, the upper city is fully visible.
Wen Meng was captivated by this extremely beautiful scenery.
There was a stone bench on the platform. When touched lightly with a hand, it was spotless
It was obvious that someone came to clean every day.
Huo Xiao just went back to the helicopter to get something, asking Wen Meng to sit and wait for him for a while.
When Huo Xiao appeared again, Wen Meng noticed that he had two cans of peach-flavored drinks with pink packaging in his hands.
Huo Xiao took a piece of silk cloth from his pocket and carefully wiped the opening of the drink
Then, he pulled the tab and handed it to Wen Meng.
"Thank you."
After getting it in her hands, Wen Meng realized that this drink was the same brand as the one in her home refrigerator.
It's just that the packaging specifications are different.
The drink came into contact with the air, emitting a continuous, faint hissing sound.
Wen Meng took a sip.
Those bubbles surged up her nostrils, so fresh.
So this is peach soda!
The ones in the fridge should have expired long ago..
Wen Meng took another sip; she really liked the taste.
The sugar in the soda made Wen Meng feel relaxed
"What do you have to say to me?"
She took the initiative to ask Huo Xiao.
When Huo Xiao opened his own can, he wasn't as particular. He tilted his head back and drank half of it in one go.
He turned his head to look at Wen Meng, "The last day of this month is a good day."
Wen Meng: "What is the special occasion?"
"Our wedding day."
"Poof—"
Wen Meng was instantly choked by the soda and started coughing uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xiao's expression changed slightly as he tried to help Wen Meng catch her breath
But it wasn't appropriate to take direct action.
Fortunately, Wen Meng's condition wasn't too serious.
She covered her mouth and couldn't help blurting out, "So fast..."
Wouldn't that mean there's still a week or two left?
"Mm." Huo Xiao's heart sank.
Did she not want to get married?
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Being in a high position, one never has to disguise their emotions.
Even though I had intentionally tried to restrain myself, it still wasn't good enough.
Wen Meng felt the pressure.
Huo Xiao was almost forcing a marriage.
If I dared to refuse now, there would definitely be no good outcome.
This marriage arrangement was made by the older generations of the Wen and Huo families, and now that generation is no longer around
Only the older generation still keeps their promises
Now the Huo family is flourishing, while the Wen family is in decline.
Wanting to cancel the engagement was just a matter of a word from Huo Xiao
How about delaying it for a while?
At that time, he will come to find me to break it off on his own.
"No problem,"
Wen Meng nodded, looking very obedient.
Huo Xiao's expression finally shifted from gloomy to cloudy.
"But..."
Wen Meng had more to say. She frowned, looking a bit troubled.
Huo Xiao: "But what?"
"I have only three months left until the college entrance exam."
Wen Meng mustered up the courage, "I'm afraid I'll get distracted. I really want to get into a good university."
This sentence is true.
That's it?
Huo Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Which school do you want to go to?"
Why not just read it directly? What's the point of taking a test?
Upon hearing Huo Xiao's words, Wen Meng felt a wave of embarrassment.
Are you trying to give me special treatment?
Then what excuse do I have to delay any longer!
"I want to achieve my goals through my own efforts,"
Wen Meng looked at Huo Xiao very seriously, "With my own abilities, not relying on any other force."
This was the first time she didn't look away when meeting Huo Xiao's gaze.
Her eyes were like deep black abysses, as if they could draw one's soul into them.
Huo Xiao felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
"Alright, I promise you."
