Bai Mei's heart was beating rapidly and her ears were filled with the sound of beating hearts. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She, who had always been calm, suddenly lost all rationality and her mind became blank, not knowing what to do.
Once upon a time, Bai Mei also yearned for sweet love, a happy marriage, a happy life.
However, from the moment she was forced to agree to marry the old sex fiend, her young heart had started to wither, and all the colourful fantasies had faded into old black-and-white photographs. All hope had been erased, and she had become a walking corpse.
If not for Yang Fann, Bai Mei still lived in the endless loneliness and could not get rid of it. It was Yang Fann who lit her fire of hope again, allowing her to finally see the light of the lighthouse in the distance like a lost boat.
Bai Mei had always dreamed that one day, she would be able to enter Yang Fann's life and become his lover, his wife, and happily live together with him.
However, the reason why fantasies were called fantasies was because the gap between reality and reality was too big. Every time Bai Mei thought about her actual situation, she would complain for a long time. With Yang Fann's pride and conditions, how could he marry a dead man's widow?
Bai Mei could be confident in front of anyone, but she couldn't be confident in front of Yang Fann because she understood Yang Fann. Bai Mei could be confident in front of anyone, but she could be confident in front of Yang Fann.
Take himself for example. He was young and beautiful, with a rich background. Any man would have wild desires for him. No matter whether it was his money or the man who adored him, he would not be kept out of the door.
However, Yang Fann was an exception. The times when Bai Mei wanted to reduce the price of the Crystal Palace to cooperate with him, she was rejected by Yang Fann without any hesitation. The times they were alone together, Yang Fann held back his impulse, unlike other men who tried to find a way to take her.
What did this mean? This showed that Yang Fann had not yet reached the point where he had to marry her. If Yang Fann really did like her, he would not be as plain as he was now.
Bai Mei wasn't interested in her money nor her people, so she didn't know what else she could use to tie Yang Fann up.
As for the topic of marriage, Bai Mei didn't dare to think about it at all. Or perhaps, she only thought about it for a little while and didn't dare to think further.
However, Zhong Runjuan actually called him and even wanted to meet her parents. This was unexpected to Bai Mei. Could it be that Yang Fann finally understood and let him, Mom, to test his intentions?
However, when the smart Bai Mei thought about it, she was once again disappointed. From her understanding of Yang Fann, she knew that Yang Fann wasn't someone to be trifled with. If Yang Fann wanted to marry her, he wouldn't even need Mom to test him.
Bai Mei's heart felt as if she was riding a roller coaster. If she were to be disappointed and give hope, she might as well not have any hope at all. That way, her heart would feel better. At least she wouldn't feel so overwhelmed.
Since it wasn't Yang Fann who wanted to marry her, Bai Mei wouldn't make things difficult for Yang Fann, nor would she make things boring for herself. If she promised Zhong Runjuan and called her parents out to meet her, even if the two families finished their business, without Yang Fann's consent, it would probably be in vain.
If that happened, Bai Mei would be forced into a corner, and there would be no leeway for her to turn the situation around. If Yang Fann didn't agree to marry her, then she and Yang Fann wouldn't even have the chance to be normal friends.
Bai Mei felt that as long as she maintained her current relationship with Yang Fann, she still had some hope. With her intelligence and beauty, she believed that as long as she worked hard, there would come a day where she would move Yang Fann.
Therefore, she couldn't follow Zhong Runjuan's arrangements because she didn't want to place her life's happiness on the line as a wager.
"Sorry, auntie. My parents aren't home recently. They are travelling abroad. When they return, I will contact you first and then everyone can come out for tea. Are you optimistic?"
Zhong Runjuan's suggestion was her dream, but it was rejected by her just like that. It was impossible to say that Bai Mei did not regret or disagree, but she did not dare to gamble. She really did not dare to gamble!
The moment she heard Bai Mei say this, she knew that Bai Mei did not want to talk about marriage with her son. Even though she really wanted to ask Bai Mei why, her sense of reason prevented her from asking. She also wanted to give Bai Mei and Yang Fann some leeway, so she did not want to push the matter to the end.
Yang Fann didn't leave. He had been observing Mom's expression on the side the whole time. Seeing that her expression was a bit ugly, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Bai Mei was not that stupid and knew how to deal with Mom's pestering.
However, at the same time Yang Fann let out a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but silently complain, "Bai Mei, you dare to look down on me. Mom being able to look up to you is the fortune of your life. You dare to reject me. You're asking for a beating!"
"Fight!" Hit your butt! " Yang Fann thought bitterly.
Sometimes, people were just that despicable. Even when Bai Mei was desperately trying to get close to him, he wouldn't say a word. But before Bai Mei could say a word, he was already indignant. This was typical of those who didn't want to leave and wanted to retreat.
Yang Fann saw that Zhong Runjuan's face didn't look too good, so he didn't dare to provoke her anymore. Women are really good when they start a fight. Yang Fann didn't want to mess with her.
Thus, Yang Fann quietly slipped away. Here, there was a type of urge to take advantage of the rain. Yang Fann felt that his body was too weak, and he couldn't withstand such a huge amount of rain and thunder.
"Stinky brat, get the hell back here. I told you to treat Bai Mei well. What did you do? Why did Bai Mei …"
Yang Fann was very thankful for his foresight when he heard the lion's roar coming from behind him. If it wasn't for the fact that he ran fast, he might have been taken care of by Mom.
Women, especially beautiful women, were the scariest creatures in the world!
