Chapter 425 - The Promise before They Separate (1/2)

After dinner, Xiao Bing and Red Rose walked on the streets which were brightly lit. In fact, the air in Jingdu was not very good. It was a bit dull and foggy. Even in the evening, it was impossible to see the moon and stars in the sky. Although the night scenery was really bustling, Xiao Bing did not like this feeling very much.

Red Rose did not like it either, but she did not hate it. Everything was very fresh for her, so she planned to take a trip. Just like the saying—the world was so big that she wanted to travel around.

The two of them held hands and they were particularly silent today. Red Rose suddenly said, “I don’t want to leave you.”

Xiao Bing’s heart was touched. He turned his head to look at Red Rose, who was also looking at him, and his eyes hurriedly avoided hers.

“I know. The society outside has rules. A man can only marry one wife. That woman has your first promise. You will not want to let her down.”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “I hope you can understand me.”

“I can understand you. Sometimes I think that if nothing happened in my homeland, we could have a life there and you will be with me. But I hoped to leave that place and not limit myself. So, there are some things that are really contradictory.”

Xiao Bing said, “You will find a better man.”

“That’s impossible.” Red Rose smiled and said, “There is no longer a man in this world whom I love, but I can understand you. I just don’t understand this world. Why can’t we live together as long as we like each other. Why do we have to follow this monogamy rule?”

Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, “You can’t understand the society outside, just like I can’t understand your homeland. Why do you blindly worship the so-called gods? Why do you ground yourself on a small island in order to bring the gods back to life one day, and trample humans under your feet? In fact, this is also very easy to solve, because the world values rules and cooperation, while your home is focused on the law of the jungle.”

Red Rose smiled and said, “Besides what I just said, I still like the outside world very much. It is more free and wonderful than I thought. Although there are many rules, at least everyone is equal under these rules. Xiao Bing, do you like me or not? Is it just because you were trapped on the island at that time, that you had to put on such a show with me?”

Xiao Bing said seriously, “I admit that I felt trapped in your homeland at the beginning, and I was forced to stay with you, because I was helpless. At that time, I had no choice. But later I saved you and promised to take you away. This proves that you are different from the others of your clan. We may not be able to be together in the end, but you are my woman after all. You are more beautiful and attractive than ordinary people. It is impossible for me not to like you. But I feel that we can’t be together because I already have a woman whom I really love deep in my heart. I love her more than anything.”

“I’m your woman?” Red Rose smiled and said, “I’m satisfied with that. I don’t care if you are in love with another woman. I don’t care that you are going to marry. Xiao Bing, when I am tired of travelling around one day, I may go to you. At that time, I won’t take you away. But I want to be your woman. I am not going to marry you. It’s enough for me to be with you occasionally. I’m not the type of woman who has to be with her man always. I’m very independent and I won’t take too up much of your time.”

“What’s more, one day in the future, I may want to settle down, stop going around anymore. On that day, I will buy a house in your city, and then you can come to accompany me from time to time. It’s enough for me to have your child.”

Xiao Bing was a little stunned. He did not expect that Red Rose’s love was so ardent.

Red Rose smiled and said, “In fact, you don’t need to feel moved. It’s nothing for me. I’m different from those women in this world. Those so-called complicated formalities and wedding ceremonies can be dispensed off for me, believe me.”

Xiao Bing opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he did not know if it was because he was just selfish or moved, he could not say a word. The two of them looked at each other for a moment until Xiao Bing swallowed what he wanted to say, and sighed softly.

Red Rose smiled and said, “I know what you are thinking. According to your secular thoughts, you must be thinking that you are delaying my marriage. But you did not say it, and you don’t need to say it. Don’t you think that it’s a little funny for me? Will people like me, someone who has not had those secular concepts for the first half of my life, care about the so-called marriage rite? That certificate is far from being important to me. The most important thing is that when I need you and call you, will you appear by my side?”
