Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 203 - 119 Li Yuan: Will You Marry Me in the Future? (Two in One, Please Subscribe)
Li Yuan helped Bai Weixi into the living room.
Bai Weixi’s eyes fell upon the dinner Li Yuan had prepared on the dining table. It was a simple meal of two dishes and a soup: tomato and chili scrambled eggs, fish-flavored shredded pork, and seaweed and egg soup, served with fragrant, steaming rice. A wide smile graced her pretty face.
Staring at Li Yuan, her beautiful eyes filled with happiness. She parted her lips shyly and said, "Husband, thank you."
Li Yuan was genuinely hungry. He handed a pair of chopsticks to Bai Weixi and said with a laugh, "Thank me for what? Go on, try it first. I haven’t cooked in months, so I’m a little rusty."
Bai Weixi took a bite. Her lovely eyes lit up, curving into happy crescents as she looked at him with a grin. "Husband, your cooking is still as delicious as ever."
If it’s delicious, then eat more. I’m starving. Li Yuan smiled to himself. His cooking skills were just average. Bai Weixi was simply seeing him through rose-tinted glasses. When a couple is passionately in love, a man who can cook is a huge plus. But that only matters during the honeymoon phase. Once you’re actually married, with the pressures of work, daily expenses, car and home loans, and caring for children and elders, it doesn’t matter if you cook like a master chef. Fights will still happen, and divorces will still follow...
The two of them sat in the living room, eating their dinner. Li Yuan was suddenly struck by a strange feeling, one that was very similar to the day he had cooked and eaten with Xia Zhijin at Jiangnan Garden.
It was as if he had two homes and two girlfriends—one at Emerald Mansion and another at Jiangnan Garden. And then there was his real home at Jinxiu Villas. If they could all coexist peacefully without causing trouble for one another, he could truly enjoy the great fortune of having them all. One was the first love from his past life that he could never have, and the other was the treasure he’d found in this one. Modu is so big, so buying a few more apartments for a few more girlfriends shouldn’t be a problem, right? My demands aren’t high; the four of them would be enough...
Li Yuan smiled, his mind filled with endless fantasies.
While eating, Bai Weixi suddenly said with a sigh, "Husband, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could stay like this forever? A simple life, free from worries about daily expenses. We could spend every day together—shopping, cooking, listening to music, and traveling... We could settle down in Modu, have a house, a job, and a car. Then, after we get married, we could have adorable twins. We would raise them together, a happy family of four, with no betrayal, just deep, endless love for each other..."
Listening to Bai Weixi’s vision of the future, Li Yuan frowned inwardly, a mixture of emotions churning inside him.
Right now, his feelings for Bai Weixi were driven more by a desire for revenge than love. You couldn’t even call it love. Although the hatred had vanished after he took her first blood the day before yesterday, the precious feeling he’d had for his first love in his past life was gone. If he had to choose now between his two girlfriends, Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin, and give one up, he would abandon Bai Weixi without a second thought. One betrayal is unforgettable for a lifetime. The seven years of being strung along in his previous life had their sweet moments, but the ending never changed. Those memories were seared into his mind, impossible to forget. It’s just like how a woman can never forget her first man. No matter how much other men love her, even if they give up everything—including their lives—that fact will never change. The same was true for men. Just like him, whether in his past or present life, he could never forget Bai Weixi. Nor could he forget the heart-wrenching, unforgettable seven-year itch of his youth. People always talk about letting go, but who can truly manage it?
Lost in her thoughts, Bai Weixi suddenly looked at Li Yuan and asked earnestly, "Li Yuan, will you marry me someday?"
Stunned by her sudden question, Li Yuan froze, unable to answer immediately.
Seeing him hesitate, tears of grievance instantly welled in her eyes. "Li Yuan, do you not plan to marry me?"
What is this? Li Yuan was speechless. We only confirmed our relationship a few days ago, and she’s already talking about marriage? Isn’t it a bit too soon?
Still, he had no choice but to offer a reluctant explanation to comfort her.
"Bai, I never said I wouldn’t marry you. It’s just that we’re only freshmen. We have a long road ahead of us... Even if our feelings stay the same, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll get past your parents... The future has too many uncertainties. But don’t worry, I will work towards that goal and do my best to make you my wife."
Hearing his explanation, Bai Weixi stopped crying. Her sorrow turned to joy, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face as she looked at him.
"Hmph. At least you have some conscience and haven’t wasted my devotion."
"Husband, don’t worry about my parents. My dad only wants me to find someone I love and who loves me back. He doesn’t care much about the man’s family situation."
"As for my mom..." Filled with anticipation, Bai Weixi continued to happily strategize for Li Yuan, whom she already considered her future husband. "Her situation is a bit special. She isn’t from Northern Anhui; she’s from the Jiangnan region, a city called Xiuzhou City, not far from Modu. My mom and dad were college classmates. After graduating, she ignored my grandmother’s objections and married my dad, moving far away to Northern Anhui. My grandparents were furious and practically disowned her..."
