章節 22: I CAME, I SAW, I MARRIED (PART 10)
Xue Lin went out to get some fresh air. While walking, she yawned. She couldn't sleep properly since she was worried about her future. She walked to the nearest park and sat down in a wooden chair under a big tree.
'Since I cannot leave China now, I should settle down here. I can take a job and earn money. I have an unfinished business…' Xue Lin clenched her fists. 'But will I be able to do it properly? For three years, I've been preparing myself for this. But I don't have enough confidence. I still don't think I've gained enough knowledge. I need to learn more; I need more information. And I'm not physically strong yet. Moreover, I'm having a hard time controlling my temper. If I can't get out of this situation, I don't think I can ever become a professional psychiatrist. I've been able to hide my mental problem from others because no one got in my way. But it's different now. Will I be able to hold myself back from losing control? I'm more scared of myself than scared of others.'
Xue Lin closed her eyes and hugged herself. 'Since I've given the opportunity, I'll take it. I don't care how others treat me. I can't care about it now. I will get rid of my weakness, my sickness. This time, I'll end what was started three years ago. I don't want to suffer any longer. I had enough of it.'
While she was thinking, someone walked closer and said, "I knew I saw my acquaintance."
Xue Lin was startled and turned around to see the person.
"It has been a while, hasn't it?" The person smiled at her.
Seeing a stranger, she frowned and asked, "Who are you?" She looked wary of him.
"…" Ge Chen paused. 'Alright, I wasn't expecting this. She not only avoided me in the hotel, but she also forgot me. I'm not sure how I should take this.' He pointed out to himself and said, "We met in Paris, remember? You saved him from my master in a birthday party and I saved you from a terrorist in a hospital."
Xue Lin gazed at the sky and tried to remember if such a thing ever happened. It took her three minutes to remember. Unfortunately, she never paid attention to the bodyguard properly during those incidents, so she never knew how he looked.
This time, she properly looked at him from top to bottom and then said, "Oh, I remember, you are that bodyguard. I forgot that it was you. I'm sorry." She gave him a 90° bow.
Ge Chen shook his hands. "It's fine. At that time, I didn't properly introduce myself."
Xue Lin cut him off. "It's not necessary. It's not like we will meet again." Her poker face was putting on a thick wall between them.
Ge Chen paused once again. He never thought having a normal conversation with anyone would be this difficult. She wasn't interested in him at all. He didn't know what to say anymore.
"May I sit next to you?" he politely asked.
"Sure, go ahead. It's public property." Xue Lin agreed.
Ge Chen sighed in relief and sat down beside her. But the moment, he did, she stood up. "Where are you going?"
"This is a wonderful morning. I can't just sit here. I want to stroll around the beautiful park. I'll take my leave then." Xue Lin gave another bow and left.
"…" Ge Chen gazed at her until she left. 'What's wrong with her? She never put on a wall like this. Why is she doing it now?'
At the same time, Xue Lin was thinking, 'Wasn't he in Paris when I last saw him? Why is he here now? Is it a coincidence? Even if he saw me, why did he talk? He doesn't look like a friendly-type to me.'
Meanwhile, Louis covered his mouth and tried to control his laughter. 'What did I just see? The famous Ge Chen has been rejected by a middle school nerd. Not only that, she successfully avoided him and left him speechless. This is so funny.'
Ming Yu saw the state of Louis and sighed. If it weren't for Louis to drag him all the way here, he would be working at the company now. The only thing that was bugging him was why she called his boss a bodyguard.
-------------
Yesterday in the evening, Louis sent a text to meet him to Ming Yu after Ge Chen left. As soon as Ming Yu went to the bar, Louis asked him, "Who is Chen's future wife?"
Ming Yu was puzzled. Then, he told Louis that grandpa Ge Guiren wanted Ge Chen to marry a rich princess.
Louis asked, "Is this the reason why he went to Yinchuan?"
"No, I think he went to meet someone else." Ming Yu answered truthfully. Since the three of them grew up together, they were childhood friends and they hid nothing from each other.
Louis curiously asked, "Is that a girl?"
"…I think so…" Ming Yu replied. He wasn't sure why Louis was interrogating him about Ge Chen all of a sudden.
Louis grabbed his shoulders. "Do you know he just spent two billion US dollars just to prepare a car for his future wife?"
"…What did you say?" Ming Yu thought that the sky broke down on his head. His childhood friend aka his boss never spent a single penny for a girl except for his grandmother. He started to doubt Louis.
Louis didn't notice his friend's doubtful gaze. "If he is going to meet that future wife of his, why don't we tag along and see who's the lucky girl?"
"…That's…" Ming Yu had lots of work to do.
Louis encouraged him, "Oh, come on! Don't be such a party pooper? Don't tell me you aren't curious who's this lucky girl. It's certainly not his marriage partner. A hermit like him suddenly becoming interested in a girl, she must be someone special."
