Chapter 31 (1/2)
Sandalwood curls up, elegant and pleasant. The decoration of Chinese style makes this spacious and bright room full of intellectual atmosphere, just like the two glasses in the antique mahogany round table. Wu Xueqing and I, sitting opposite to each other, are also out of place.
When Murphy took the door out, I let go of my stiff hands and feet, took out my mobile phone and put it on the table. I picked up my cup and smelled the fragrance of the tea. It was indeed the tea picked before the Qingming Festival. It was indeed worthy of its name.
”Why, I'm sorry to thank you in front of Fifi?”
”Well, who says I want to thank you? You don't stink, boy. ” In a sense, Wu Xueqing and I are the same kind of people. They have a face that they don't want to show in front of others, so I'm not surprised by her attitude.
”Don't worry, I don't expect you to thank me, and even if you want to thank me, I won't accept it,” I put down my cup and said lightly, ”because I didn't want to help you at all, just don't want Fifi to be hurt.”
”You...” Wu Xueqing didn't expect me to be so straightforward. There was a bit of stoppage. After two long breaths of relief, she said, ”Chu, I didn't come here to fight with you. I'll save the nonsense. How about we make a deal?”
”Transaction?” I resisted curiosity and kept the surface as cool as water. ”What deal?”
Wu Xueqing reached out his hand and lifted a bunch of curly hair to his shoulder. He said with an ambiguous and proud smile, ”you like my daughter, right?”
I have been stabbed by her for this weakness. Although I quickly disguised a little disorder in my expression, how can I hide the obvious fluctuation from Wu Xueqing's sophisticated eyes? They are more thieves than foxes.
”What do you like? What do you dislike?”
Although I don't like it, I have to admit that Wu Xueqing's fishhook really catches my greedy fish. She likes me and enjoys tea leisurely. She swears, ”if we like it, we will continue to talk about it. If you don't like it, you can go now.”
Anti guest oriented, defensive to attack? I thought for a moment, barefoot still afraid of wearing shoes?
”You can go on.”
”Well, I'm sure I'm right. You're a smart man.” Wu Xueqing's tone of meeting her hometown made me feel like throwing a teacup on her face. ”I can help you marry her.”
Just like the nine sky thunder in my ear, my brain is short circuited and confused. I can't believe looking at the woman in the opposite direction, ”you I beg your pardon? Again, I didn't hear you clearly just now. ”
”Look at your excitement,” Wu Xueqing grumbled discontentedly, but the joy in the corner of his eyes could not hide it. ”I said, I can help you catch up with her and marry her as a wife.”
As the ancients said, when a great good thing comes to your head without any reason, it's easy to turn into a great disaster. It's so-called joy begets sorrow. Even though I've dreamed of marrying Murphy for many times, I'm not stupid enough to believe that such a woman as Wu Xueqing, ”how can I help you?”
Wu Xueqing is very careful. ”Would you like to tell me first?”
I thought again, then nodded definitely, ”think!”
”That would be good, but...” Wu Xueqing put up his smile and said solemnly, ”you have to promise me a condition.”
