433 A Wedding Proposal (1/2)
Yan Ying was whistling and skipping her way towards the entrance of the Xin Villa with her car keys spinning around her index finger. She seemed to be in a very good mood for a reason which was unknown.
Today, Xiu didn't even step out of her house which meant that Ying also didn't have to leave for anywhere at all. So, she had a very lazy day. It wasn't her ideal deal but after how tired she was yesterday because of Xiu's shopping spree, she thought she deserved a lazy day. Not only that, even though her stupid team members did her dirty by using her credit card however they liked, she still had to say that they chose a very comfortable bed for her.
At the end of the day, that's all that mattered. A comfy bed!
”What do you think about this, Zimen?”
Yan Ying's feet came to an abrupt halt when she heard the voice from inside the lounge. Normally, she would have entered without care but this time, she could feel something strange in Zhao Wei's voice that made her stop.
”You know I've always wanted Meihui to marry Xiaoli. And today, she finally agreed. I couldn't stop myself from running to you.”
Ying closed her eyes as she felt her heart drop. Her feelings could be described simply, she had felt like she had been hovering over the edge of a hill for a long time and tonight, Zhao Wei's words finally worked as that push that threw her off that hill.
Was she supposed to feel free now? After all, her first love was officially becoming someone else's. She should feel free but all she felt was the feeling of falling down. And she didn't even know where she was gonna stop or how.
Inside the lounge, Xin Zimen had been silent. He didn't say a word. He'd have loved to say yes, after all, Qiu Meihui was his very best friend's daughter. But how could he forget that it was his wife, Wen Ai's wish to see Xin Xiaoli and Yan Ying together? Wen Ai grew up in Ying's maternal family, she was deeply attached to every single person in that family and Ying was no exception.
”Zimen, why aren't you saying anything? You don't like the proposal?” Zhao Wei asked apprehensively. This was her last attempt to make things better between her and her daughter who had estranged herself for years. But today after so long Qiu Meihui asked her for something. She couldn't help coming here. ”Zimen, Xiaoli has always been in love with Meihui. Even I know she hurt him when she married someone else. We all thought Xiaoli will move on but he didn't. He's still waiting for her.”
Xin Zimen looked up at Zhao Wei thoughtfully. Indeed, how could he overlook the main point here, no matter how much he was fond of Yan Ying, Xiaoli didn't love her? In fact, his very own son never even cared about all of her efforts to get his attention.
”As you said, Weiwei since my son is already in love with your daughter. You or I can't do anything.” Xin Zimen finally said, with a level tone.
”Sister Wei, you haven't even decided a date yet,” Francesca pointed out the main point.
”Oh, right!” Zhao Wei touched her head as if reprimanding herself. ”How about next month?”
”That soon? Weiwei, aren't you in a hurry?” Qiu Jiayi voiced out. Even though his question was directed towards his wife, his eyes were focused on Xin Zimen's face.
