My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox -
Chapter 45: I have arranged everything
Chapter 45: Chapter 45: I have arranged everything
Lin Jiao was dumbstruck.
She hadn’t expected Song Yang to come on so strong, even having a ring prepared.
What woman doesn’t like romance?
Especially since she had just been hurt by Wu Xia, confronted with this sudden happiness, she was, for a moment, moved to tears.
Wu Xia stood there in a daze, an inexplicable sourness welling up in his heart.
He didn’t know why, but he had never been able to give Lin Jiao a proper status, let alone happiness for a lifetime.
Yet he thought of monopolizing Lin Jiao, which was far too immoral.
Now, her first love had returned to marry her, which for Lin Jiao, was the best outcome.
Wu Xia, holding back the acute pain in his heart, turned around and walked into his own room.
He knew that if he stayed there, he would cause Lin Jiao to worry.
By this time, Lin Jiao had also come to her senses. Seeing Wu Xia leave and enter the room, she appeared somewhat flustered, her heart filled with a trace of resentment: Xia, why did you go into the room? Don’t you really think I would marry him? Why aren’t you coming over to protect me?
But she dared not say it out loud.
To prevent Song Yang from embracing her again, she instinctively stepped back and said anxiously, "Song Yang, please get up, you’re scaring me!"
Even though Song Yang was her high school sweetheart, the most they had done back then was hold hands, nothing else.
So many years had passed, and Lin Jiao was no longer the naive girl she once was; she knew exactly what she wanted.
"Jiaojiao, unless you agree, I won’t get up," said Song Yang, kneeling upright, his voice unwavering: "I have already visited your parents, and we’ve agreed on an eighty-eight thousand dowry!"
"I’ve also bought them an extra house in town, to ensure their comfort in old age!"
"Plus, I’ve arranged a job for your younger brother. Once we’re married, I’ll take you all abroad to live and enjoy the services of a higher societal level!"
"If your parents are willing, I can even bring them abroad to live with us. They don’t speak the language, but we can just arrange a nanny for them."
"That way, they can help take care of our children too, and our whole family can be joyously together. That is what real life should be like."
Lin Jiao’s mouth fell open in surprise at Song Yang’s words.
She could never have imagined that Song Yang had everything planned so perfectly.
First love, handsome and wealthy, successful, gentle and considerate, filial...
Song Yang possessed all the good qualities, truly the perfect man in every woman’s eyes.
Even Wu Xia, listening from inside the room, felt inferior.
He would never be as meticulous or as considerate as Song Yang.
At this moment, Wu Xia had let go in his heart; Lin Jiao’s happiness was his greatest wish.
"Song Yang, don’t do this, I’m not worthy," Lin Jiao said, quickly calming down after her brief surprise.
She was almost thirty now.
No longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with perfect dreams of a bright future.
She knew the world was not perfect; there would always be regrets.
Moreover, she was burdened with the reputation as a jinx. How could she expect someone to truly love her against all odds?
"Jiaojiao, I know what you’re worried about, rest assured, we can date first, for a year or two if need be," Song Yang still looked at Lin Jiao with deep affection: "Time will prove everything. If you find even the slightest lie from me, Song Yang, or any wrongdoing against you, you can leave straight away!"
"Also, when we get married, I can have a lawyer include all this in a contract—if you want to divorce me, I’ll leave without taking anything, leaving everything to you!"
Lin Jiao was dumbstruck.
Her eyes moistened.
It was not that she was moved, but rather she felt wronged.
She did not care for wealth or luxury, but what she needed was the assurance of a man.
How she wished the man saying these words was Wu Xia inside the room, not this man she hadn’t had any emotion for during the past ten years.
Without comparison, there’s no hurt.
"Song Yang, stop talking, what I want isn’t this!"
Lin Jiao cried out in heartbreak, "Why do you always like to lie to people, don’t you know what I truly want in my heart?"
Song Yang was dumbfounded, completely not understanding what Lin Jiao was talking about.
Wu Xia got nervous, he knew that Lin Jiao’s last sentence was directed at him, it was a prompt for him to state his position.
Wu Xia didn’t want to see Lin Jiao like this, he had just stood up, but then he sat back down.
He couldn’t give Lin Jiao a title, happiness, he couldn’t selfishly keep Lin Jiao tied to him.
In the end, he could only clench his fists tightly, sitting beside the bed with a heart like it was being sliced by knives.
"Jiaojiao, I didn’t lie to you, I really didn’t!" Song Yang said excitedly, standing up directly, wanting to walk over to Lin Jiao.
"Don’t come over!" Lin Jiao said agitatedly, taking another step back, her gaze still involuntarily glancing at Wu Xia’s room.
Her tears were flowing uncontrollably, her heart in more pain than Wu Xia’s.
Lin Jiao’s emotions were somewhat out of control, she shouted hoarsely, "Do you really like me at all?"
This was also meant for Wu Xia, but Song Yang hurriedly replied, "Truly, without a doubt."
Wu Xia’s eyes moistened.
He wanted to answer, he did have feelings for Lin Jiao in his heart.
But he didn’t dare!
With his situation, he didn’t know how many other women there would be in the future, he didn’t want to do anything that would wrong Lin Jiao.
He hoped that Lin Jiao would find her own happiness.
"Jiaojiao, I not only like you, but I also love you, I’ve loved you for ten years!"
Song Yang had already rushed to Lin Jiao’s side, tightly grabbing Lin Jiao’s hand.
This time, Lin Jiao didn’t dodge anymore.
Her heart was in extreme pain.
If Wu Xia truly was so heartless, there was no point in her staying here any longer.
Song Yang, seeing that Lin Jiao did not resist, covered her face with his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Jiaojiao, believe me, I won’t lie to you!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head, about to kiss Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao closed her eyes, she had completely given up resisting.
If Wu Xia didn’t want her, then she had no choice but to leave with someone else.
"Sorry to interrupt your good moment!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind, Zhang Lin in her uniform walked in from the outside.
Lin Jiao and Song Yang were both startled.
Especially Song Yang, his entire body went rigid, his eyes widened enormously.
Lin Jiao, flustered, pushed Song Yang away, wiped away her tears, and glared at Zhang Lin angrily, "What do you want now?"
Every time Zhang Lin came, it was never for anything good, Lin Jiao felt a bit of disgust and rejection toward her.
"I’m here to confirm something with Wu Xia!"
Zhang Lin’s eyes were also red, she looked at Lin Jiao apologetically, "I’ll ask and then leave, I won’t disturb you!"
"He’s dead in the room, just ask!" Lin Jiao replied irritably, venting all the rage that had been building in her heart on Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin didn’t care about these things at all, she looked toward Wu Xia’s room and asked with a grave voice, "Wu Xia, what exactly is our relationship now?"
"If you want to reject me, just say it clearly. It’s almost forty-eight hours, I need to go buy some medicine, so I don’t get pregnant!"
Boom!
"What?"
Lin Jiao’s eyes widened, she suddenly charged at Zhang Lin, grabbing her, "What do you mean by pregnant? What did you two do?"
