The corners of Gong Mochen's lips curled up slightly. "Do you know what it means for a man to give a girl a ring? Didn't you say you wanted to be my wife?"
His deep gaze landed on the girl's little face.
Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. "I only agreed to become your wife because I wanted to return to the Qin family."
"I know, but you will be my wife!" Gong Mochen said. The reason why she became his wife wasn't important. What was important was that she wanted to become his wife!
Gong Mochen stood up and walked to Qin Sheng. He knelt on one knee and straightened the woman's finger with his big hand. He put the ring on her middle finger.
"Baby, remember, I used to wear a ring for you!" He took the woman's small hand and kissed the back of it tenderly.
No matter how far they would go in the future, he hoped that she would remember that he had once worn a ring for her. The ring that he was giving to her now was something that she had been looking forward to.
It was very difficult for Qin Sheng to wipe away the tears in her eyes. All her hopes since she was young had come true at that moment. The man she loved had given her a rose and knelt down to put a ring on her finger. He had proposed marriage, what she had always wanted.
Only at that moment did she truly understand the meaning of love. It was first love, love that was young, bitter, and ignorant. She was unable to let go of it, no matter how many twists and turns it took!
She held the man's hand. "Err, let's eat..."
She knew that she shouldn't say it, nor could she say that she loved him. She could only come up with a reason to get him up from his crouched position.
Just as he said, this was a date.
Gong Mochen stood up and sat opposite the girl. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. That smile, surrounded by the candlelight, could make a person's heart break.
They would eat well and have a good date. This was what Gong Mochen wanted.
But he realised that this girl still had a score to settle... But that score wouldn't be settled just yet.
For the first time since Qin Sheng had returned to the country, the two of them had a rare unity of spirit.
***
In a single room in the Moonlight Club, Ming Tai was drinking with a woman.
He wasn't sure if drinking with Chu Xia was such a good idea... Could he say he regretted it?
As each time she got drunk, it was like she changed into a different person. It turned out that when Chu Xia got drunk, she could go crazy!
"Ming Tai, why are you so good-looking? You're even better looking than Sikong Jue!" Chu Xia said.
Ming Tai asked, "Do you like Sikong Jue?"
He spoke in a deep voice. Gong Mochen had told him a long time ago that Chu Xia had a relationship with Sikong Jue. Therefore, his biggest rival in love was Sikong Jue.
He saw Sikong Jue's face turn black when he'd heard that he wanted to marry Chu Xia today. All of this proved one thing. Sikong Jue still had feelings for this woman.
Of course, he wouldn't listen to Sikong Jue and misunderstand Chu Xia. And he wouldn't break up with Chu Xia and let Sikong Jue have his way!
Chu Xia's mind was numbed by the alcohol and she kept repeating Sikong Jue's name. She shouted angrily, "No, I don't like him. He's a f*cking b*stard, a b*stard! He's the person I hate the most in my life!"
Ming Tai patted the woman's head. "Okay, he's the person you hate the most! Then who is the person you love the most?"
Chu Xia giggled. "I love Jian Jian the most!"
Ming Tai was speechless. He didn't lose to Sikong Jue, but to a little boy!
He held Chu Xia's little face in his hands. "Do you like me? I'm willing to take care of you for the rest of your life, okay?"
Chu Xia looked at the man with her stiff eyes. "I like you. You don't take advantage of others. You're a good man!"
As she spoke, the smell of alcohol wafted out of her mouth.
Over the years, she had had many boyfriends, but they had all broken up with her. Many thought that she was dirty, disobedient and did whatever she wanted!
However, no one knew that people who were dirty-mouthed were actually more reserved. It was the same for Chu Xia. It was okay to be dirty, but she would never mess around!
And Ming Tai was a gentleman. Last time when she was drunk, he only sent her back to her room and didn't take advantage of her.
Ming Tai admitted that he was a good man, but this girl was too disobedient, right?
"I... I want to go to the bathroom!" said Chu Xia.
"I'll go with you." Ming Tai looked at the staggering girl and stood up.
"No need!" Chu Xia said.
"Can you go by yourself?" Ming Tai asked worriedly.
"Yes, definitely!" Chu Xia raised her hand to open the door and staggered out.
Although her head was hazy from the alcohol, her mind was still clear. She really wanted to go to the bathroom.
She walked to the end of the corridor and pushed the door open. She looked for a basin and began to vomit up the wine she had drank.
The woman's intrusion scared away many of the guests who were in the bathroom.
"F*ck, she broke into the men's bathroom. She's really drunk!"
"Why would she break into the men's bathroom if she's not drunk? I don't know what her name is, but I don't think I've seen her before! Could she be a newcomer?"
"She looks pretty good, and she's already drunk."
The two male guests chatted to each other, watching Chu Xia.
"You can get lost now! Otherwise, I guarantee that you won't have another chance to get lost if you stay!" a man's voice rushed into the bathroom.
The two men looked at who the voice belonged to. Their eyes widened on the rich clothes the man wore. They definitely couldn't afford to offend a man of such status. They hurriedly left the washroom.
Chu Xia vomited more wine and looked into the washbasin gloomily. Why was this washbasin so short? Why was there no faucet on the washbasin?
