章節 20: ~Xiao Long's bad thoughts~
"I want to marry you,"
A word that managed to make Xiao Long speechless. He didn't expect the comments to just come out of Qiao Xin's mouth. For a moment, Xiao Long looked at Qiao Xin, and then he touched Qiao Xin's forehead with the back of his hand. A truly extraordinary thing.
"Do you have a fever?" Xiao Long asked with a confused look on his face. "Are you drunk? Or are you in a trance or something? Why are you suddenly saying that? Want to marry me, are you kidding me?" Xiao Long said with a look of disbelief on his face. How could he not? He didn't expect Qiao Xin to say this. After all that Xiao Long had done to change Qiao Xin's mind and was rejected by that woman, Qiao Xin said that she wanted to marry him? He didn't expect that to happen!
"Why?" Qiao Xin asked, somewhat annoyed. Her tears are flowing now. After all that she was about to sacrifice, how could Xiao Long not believe her words at all? "Do you think I'm joking? Do you think I'm fooling around with you right now? Or have you changed your mind now and thought that what I did was stupid? And you don't want to marry me anymore for Grandpa Han's sake? I don't understand you at all. You know if your grandfather is in critical condition, and I have vowed that if Grandpa Han has a chance to live another day, then I will do whatever Grandpa Han wants and that would be to marry you. even though I really don't want to, even though I'm really fed up, and don't want this marriage. But whatever, I will do whatever it takes to make the most beautiful memories for Grandpa Han for the rest of his life. I want to see him happy, I want to see him smile. I… I don't want to make him cry, I don't want to live in regret for what I've done by rejecting his last request."
"You don't need to say much, Miss Liu," Xiao Long again made Qiao Xin confused because Xiao Long's tone sounded strange. There was no expression of joy or relief that she had agreed to marry Xiao Long. It's like, Qiao Xin has been thrusting herself out, lowering her pride to get Xiao Long to marry her. "I don't believe you…." Xiao Long said again. Qiao Xin fell silent again. "For Grandpa? For Grandpa to be happy, for Grandpa to smile and so on. Are you kidding me? I know who you are, you are a broke woman who is currently unemployed. You need a lot of money to make your life much easier. Being able to live happily without working, isn't that the purpose of your life, Miss Liu? Yesterday, you pretended to reject Grandfather's request because you want to attract the sympathy of everyone here and think that you are an independent woman who doesn't need money, who doesn't get blinded by wealth. However, after you know that I don't care about that anymore. You were panicked, you were afraid to lose your gold mine. I am the grandson of the rich Grandpa Han, a young businessman who owns a large company and has many branches. I'm a man that all women really want. In fact, all women area willing to be my slave just to get a piece of my wealth. You know that, I'm sure you're not a naive girl, I'm sure you're not an innocent girl. I know what goes in the head of a poor woman like you, Miss Liu. So, you may say that you agree to be married to me. But don't you ever say that the marriage we are going to have is for my grandfather's sake. Be honest to yourself and just say that you are after my inheritance. Because I'll give you whatever you want, you'll get luxuries, you'll get your monthly allowance, and get everything that you've never even experienced in your life. So, why are you acting so pretentious? I can see through you very clearly, Miss Liu. Because, I know well what a poor woman like you thinks."
Qiao Xin's breath hitched. She didn't expect Xiao Long to see her in a bad light. She didn't know that Xiao Long looked down on her so much. Whereas, what Qiao Xin knew, Xiao Long only hated her and not to the point of being this hateful and even considering herself lower than trash.
Qiao Xin rubbed her face roughly, wanting her to refuse outright and retract her words earlier. However, if she remembered again, how could she place such importance on her pride that she didn't even have at all. All Qiao Xin thought of was Xiao Chuan. She couldn't possibly let that helpless Grandpa die with such misfortune. Qiao Xin couldn't even make Xiao Chuan's last wish come true. Qiao Xin had already lost her father, and the regret was still there when she didn't comply with her father's last request. And now she doesn't want to repeat the same thing, like what happened to her father.
"Alright, Mr. Han. If that's what you want. You said that I agreed to this marriage because I was tempted by your wealth, right? All right, then let's make things clear. I'll marry you, but on a few notes. Give me some money for our wedding. Then I will pretend to be the wife who loves you forever. You are very rich, your money will never run out right? Then give me four hundred yuan for this contract marriage."
Xiao Long was silent, and then he seemed to grin. Like what he had guessed if Qiao Xin agreed to marry him just for the sake of money. No more than that.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu. I'll definitely give you more than that. And believe me, you will definitely become Mrs. Han just like you want to. However, sorry, you can only enjoy the wealth. Don't ever stand by my side as my wife during our marriage. Remember, this marriage is only for Grandpa's life. After that, we're not husband and wife or anything. Do I make myself clear, Miss Liu?" Qiao Xian was silent. Meanwhile, Xiao Long looked at his watch. "I'll have my personal lawyer take care of our agreement. Give me your terms and conditions, so I can include them in the clauses of our marriage agreement."
