Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 561 - 226: Proposal
But it was still too late. Hang Yishao, who’s always been good with words, spoke his mind smoothly this time, "You don’t need to set up these matchmaking meetings for me every now and then anymore. In this life, I will marry no one but her." The slender wrist that was struggling to get away paused, suspended in mid-air.
Both Hang’s father and Hang’s mother were going through a rollercoaster of emotions. When he hurried back from out of town, he didn’t find Hang Yishao at the company. When he got home and asked, Hang’s mother hesitated and said he went out with a group of friends. Little did they know, at a government banquet yesterday, the Earl of Wizi suddenly came up to congratulate him, saying that he was happy for his young master’s impending good fortune, mentioning that he had seen Hang Yishao and Su Ziceng together in Bianjing City.
After the Su Family’s bankruptcy, Hang’s father saw that Hang Yishao and Su Ziceng weren’t as entangled with one another as they used to be, so he naturally assumed their relationship had ended. Right after the Su Family’s bankruptcy, Hang Yishao didn’t make much noise either. Who could have expected that now his feelings would suddenly make such a dramatic comeback, and this time, he was making his moves very formally.
"I’ll take Ziceng home first," Hang Yishao, dragging Su Ziceng along, waved for a taxi and pushed her inside before sitting in the backseat himself and disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"This damn kid," Hang’s father swore as he paced around in frustration after seeing his son escape, "Look at him, bringing so much shame upon us."
"This momentum," Hang’s mother recovered from her shock, tears spinning in her eyes, "Old man, it’s so much more intense than when you proposed. Yishao is serious this time."
He was serious this time. Su Ziceng sat in the backseat of the car, not daring to look directly at Hang Yishao whose expression was hard to read, showing neither joy nor sorrow. Halfway through the ride, Su Ziceng finally made up her mind, "Yishao, I..."
"You don’t need to overthink it. My love for you is no one else’s business," Hang Yishao said with a presumptuous tone.
"Don’t be so presumptuous. Have you even asked if I love you?" Su Ziceng got annoyed; she had been led around by Pello before, and when it was time to break up, they broke up. Now, Hang Yishao, who had never taken her seriously before, suddenly declared his intention to marry her in front of everyone.
The taxi driver peeked at the two through the rearview mirror; just a moment ago, the eye-catching young man had casually declared his love at the airport entrance, almost turning the whole airport into a public spectacle.
Hang Yishao turned around, facing Su Ziceng with a face turning red and white, clearly embarrassed. Damn it, Su Ziceng had let him get to this point in speaking, and she was actually rejecting him. "I love you. What does it have to do with you? If I want to love, I’ll love. It’s my business if I die of love," he said, the words in the cramped taxi were clear enough for ten Su Zicengs to hear.
"You," Su Ziceng was at a loss for words, and after Hang Yishao finished speaking, he just stared at her, first at her eyes and then at her lips which were about to speak. From his expression, it seemed if she dared spill another word, he would bite it off.
The taxi driver chuckled, and Su Ziceng ended up looking out the window. The words of Hang Yishao, upon reflection, were actually quite moving. She heard the sound of someone approaching from the seat behind.
Hang Yishao’s breath was audible close to her, "Ziceng, I know you can’t forget him yet. If you can’t accept this at the moment, let’s start as friends." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
On the car window, one could see the pain in Hang Yishao’s eyes.
The taxi was about to reach Zone 5. The kind-hearted driver quietly took a detour; these days, not many young people dared to love so boldly.
"I don’t love him anymore," Su Ziceng said like a school kid reciting a text, cold and emotionless in her tone.
Hang Yishao waved it off as if a lying fly had entered the car, "I know the heart needs healing after a breakup. If you need to heal, I’ll let you heal."
"I’ve made it clear, I don’t love him," Su Ziceng answered weakly.
"Alright, if you don’t love him, you don’t. You can find someone else to love, like me, for instance. You’d better forget him completely, unravelling your memories thread by thread; that would make you happier," Hang Yishao said almost concedingly.
"Driver, why haven’t we arrived yet?" Su Ziceng felt helpless against Hang Yishao, the shameless man. She looked outside and noticed that the route was obviously wrong.
"Young lady, don’t be anxious, the road may be a bit long, but we’ll reach the destination eventually," the driver said, stepping on the accelerator and turning at a crossroad to smoothly park in front of "Admiration."
"Thanks, driver, keep the change," Hang Yishao said understandingly, handing over a banknote.
"What a bunch of idiots," Su Ziceng snatched the luggage from Hang Yishao’s hand and fled in a panic.
