Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 32

Chapter 32

He looked at the gla.s.s of the hotel’s high-rise building, but he could not see the toasting in the banquet hall clearly, nor could he feel the jubilation there. More than ten minutes ago, Lu An had looked out of the window in frustration. In the end, he had seen this extremely pitiful figure. His heart had stopped, and he had got up without hesitation to go downstairs. He had run over directly as if he had just entered university. He had been attending cla.s.ses in the far north. His gaze had unintentionally glanced out of the window, and he had seen that familiar voice. Everyone was listening to the professor’s lecture with full attention, but he had run out without any scruples. He had pushed open the cla.s.sroom door and had run out of the teaching building without caring about everyone’s strange gazes.

However, when he caught up to her, he realized that it wasn’t her. That’s right. The place where she had gone to school was thousands of kilometers away from here. How could she be here? The unfaithful little brat had never given him a surprise.

The face that Lu An had yearned for day and night was now so close to him that he sighed softly in his heart. “Lu An,” Jin Nian suddenly said. “What’s wrong?” The man who was staring at her side paused. “Aren’t you attending a wedding? Is it okay to suddenly run out?”

Her eyes were red and moist, and the tip of her nose was red, like a dejected puppy. “It’s fine. It’s too stuffy inside. I came out to take a breather.” “Oh.” After a moment of silence, Jin Nian said in a low voice, “Are amus.e.m.e.nt parks still open now?”

“Why do you ask?” Lu An asked. “If you want to ride the Ferris wheel, the internet says that it’s more useful to climb when you’re in a bad mood.” “Maybe it’s nonsense.” Lu An stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to take a look.” Whether it was true or not, as long as she was happy, he would do anything.

Jin Nian felt a little hesitant. “You suddenly left. Is everything alright with your mother’s wedding?” “It will not make a difference if I am there.” “But you’re still her son. It wouldn’t look good if you didn’t attend,” Jin Nian asked “Do you want me to go back wearing a shirt that you ravaged into a rag? People who don’t know might think that I did something wrong. Let’s just forget it.” Lu An replied.

Lu An grabbed her wrist and said. “Why don’t you come up with me to say h.e.l.lo to my mother? My mother hasn’t seen you in a long time.” However, Jin Nian shook her head repeatedly. The person she was most afraid of in her life was Lu An’s mother. That was a woman whose back view could make Jin Nian feel apprehensive. It was also very strange that every time Lu An’s mother saw her, she was always kind and friendly. In the past, she had even given her many popular toys. However, whenever Jin Nian saw her, she felt like a primary school student who hadn’t done her homework and had seen her form teacher. She wished she could bury her head in the ground.

Although it was normal for children to be afraid of their parents, but Jin Nian was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and she was still a little afraid of Xie He.

Speaking of the past, Tan Siyun had always had a good relationship with Lu An’s mother. Ms. Tan didn’t understand why Jin Nian was acting like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Xie He. “Did she look fierce, or did she hit or scold you? Why are you so afraid of Auntie Xie?” Jin Nian shook her head. “None.” It was probably just like how others always said, “Aren’t you afraid of Lu An? He’s always so fierce that none of us dare to play with him.”

Jin Nian was confused. “Lu An isn’t fierce at all.” It was only after she became an adult that Jin Nian suddenly realized that Xie He was like a predator at the top of the food chain. Even if she had never hurt you at all, just listening to her breathing would make you feel afraid. Xie He had this kind of temperament. She seemed to be carefree all these years, but the business world was like a battlefield. It was definitely not a place where a woman could stand firm just because of her beauty. She had a sharp eye for people and things, and Lu An’s bottomless eyes were just like hers.

Eventually, Lu An didn’t force Jin Nian to go upstairs to greet Xie He. He asked someone to drive his car over and took Jin Nian directly to the largest amus.e.m.e.nt park in Binhai City. As night fell, Binhai City was still bustling with people. By the time they arrived at the amus.e.m.e.nt park, there were no more tourists inside. The lights had been turned off, and only the security guards were pacing at the door. The security guard was a kind-looking old man. He smiled and advised them to come back another day. This place had closed an hour ago.

Jin Nian thanked him politely and pulled Lu An away. Although she had been prepared for the amus.e.m.e.nt park to be closed, she still couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face. Lu An looked down at her and said, “Jin Nian, if you beg me, I’ll bring you in.” Jin Nian pursed her lips. She knew that Lu An’s mother, Xie He, had shares in this amus.e.m.e.nt park, but she was too embarra.s.sed to ask the park to open just for her on a whim. She shook her head and replied, “Forget it, I don’t feel like playing anyway.” Lu An scoffed. “You’re already so old, but you still haven’t changed your stubborn habit.”
