"Elope? Where are we going? Back to my hometown? My mother is still in the hospital. If we don't have money for her treatment, she may not be able to stay in the hospital in a few days. Xiaoxiao, I can take you away, but I will be branded as an unfilial person all my life, and that is what I am most ashamed of. Do you understand?" Listening to Yu Xiao's words, Luo Yi shook his head bitterly.
"What should I do now?" She couldn't escape, and she didn't want to get married. The mother of her boyfriend, the only person she could rely on, was seriously ill. Yu Xiao felt that she really had no way out in life.
"Xiaoxiao, I have an idea, but I don't know if you dare to do it!" Luo Yi pondered for a moment and spoke hesitantly.
"What idea? Tell me quickly!" Yu Xiao's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
"If I really said it, don't blame me!" Luo Yi looked at her with a conflicted look and rubbed his hands together.
"It's okay! Just tell me, I won't blame you!" Yu Xiao shook his head and stared at Luo Yi and asked.
"Let's give him some time to delay!"
"What kind of delaying tactic?"
"You must agree to marry him first!"
"Marry him? Ayi, are you sure?" Yu Xiao's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at Luo Yi in disbelief, not understanding why he would say such a thing.
"Don't be nervous! Just listen to me." Luo Yi held Yu Xiao's hand and paused for a moment before continuing, "You can marry him, but you have to negotiate terms with him!"
"What conditions?"
"Didn't he say he was rich? Ask him for a million! Just say it's the betrothal money! If he refuses to give it, you won't marry him!"
"But what do I want one million from him for?"
"Actually, besides coming to see you, I have something more important to do this time!"
"What's up?"
"Do you still remember my best friend Ah Cheng? He came back from Australia and said he wanted to start a company with me. He has already contacted clients in Australia, and is in the timber business. You also know that his family is very rich, so starting a company should not be a problem, but he insisted on getting me in, saying that I only needed to invest a symbolic amount of money, and then we would split the profits 40% to 60%, 60% for him and 40% for me. Once this company is started, not to mention making money to cover my mother's medical expenses, it won't take long for the Kang family to surpass them now. What I lack most now is start-up capital. Alas..." Luo Yi looked up at the sky in the distance and sighed.
"But... If I really marry him, what should I do with you in the future?" Yu Xiao sniffed, somewhat at a loss. Luo Yi was a smart man, and she believed he had the ability to succeed. But if she really married Kang Shaonan, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Silly boy, I don't want you to really marry him. Didn't I just say that this is just a delaying tactic? You agree to marry him, but you have to give him three conditions. As long as he agrees, you agree to marry him."
"What three conditions?"
"First: There must be a one million betrothal gift. Second: Before you fall in love with him, he can't do anything to you. Third: If you still don't fall in love with him within a year, your marriage will be invalid and he must agree to divorce you."
"Ah? Isn't that a bit too much?" Although the uncle was a bit sinister, he was not that bad. When she thought about it when she was in the army, he was actually quite nice to her. She had a childish temper, but she never thought of hurting others.
"How is this excessive? Think about it, you obviously don't like him, but he insisted on forcing you. Although he did lend your family two million for emergency, have you ever thought that the financial crisis in your father's company was most likely caused by his family? And tell me, is he learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds by lending your family two million now?"
"no!"
"He did this to force you to marry him! Isn't he rich? Since he can come up with two million, one million won't be a problem. Also, it's not like you didn't give him a chance. You gave him a year, right? He's a soldier, he's a man who keeps his word. As long as he agrees to you, we have a chance!"
"But..." Yu Xiao picked at his nails nervously, still unable to make up his mind. Thinking about the fact that Kang Shaonan had already given his family two million in emergency relief, asking for another one million seemed a bit excessive.
"Forget it, I don't want to be a bad guy! You go home first! I have to find a way to borrow money. If it doesn't work, I'll go find Ranran." Luo Yi's face was slightly angry. He stood up and wanted to leave, but Yu Xiao grabbed his arm tightly.
"Ayi! That's not what I meant. I just... I just can't accept it for the time being." Ranran was their college classmate. She had always liked Luo Yi and tried every means to pursue him. If Luo Yi went to her for help at this time, then she and Luo Yi would probably be completely finished.
"Xiaoxiao, do you think I love you or not?" Luo Yi held Yu Xiao's arms with both hands, staring at her and asked.
Yu Xiao nodded silently, blinked and replied: "Love!"
Luo Yi smiled and rubbed Yu Xiao's hair, then held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Xiao, I love you! If there is a second choice, I will never let you take this risk! I am also a man. You can understand what it feels like to send your beloved woman to someone else. Don't worry, as long as Ah Cheng's company is running and we make money, we will return it to him immediately. You just need to keep him from touching you during the time you are married to that man."
“But…” I couldn’t tell why, but I always felt depressed, as if something was blocked.
"Don't say but. Let's go. I haven't had lunch yet. Let's go to where I live! I moved some time ago and didn't have time to tell you." Luo Yi smiled and pushed her away, took her hand and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
"Why did you move? Isn't your original place good?"
"Acheng's family has a house that has not been occupied for many years. It is empty anyway, so they let me live there for free. This way, I can save some rent."
"Acheng is so good to you!"
Luo Yi stopped a taxi and the two of them got in. Luo Yi gave his address and the car drove to where he lived.
"Yes, it's my blessing to make such a good friend." Luo Yi glanced at Yu Xiao, took her hand and placed it in his palm, his eyes darkened: "You don't know, when I went back to my hometown this time, Acheng gave me 50,000 yuan for my mother's medical treatment. Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for you two, my mother might..." Luo Yi's eyes suddenly turned red, he turned his face away and suppressed the grief in his heart.
"Ayi..." Seeing Luo Yi's sad look, Yu Xiao's heart began to waver. If one million could be used to treat Luo Yi's mother's illness and to start a company for him, Kang Shaonan and his parents would also be happy about it.
Why doesn't she give it a try
"I'm fine!" Luo Yi turned around and gave Yu Xiao a sour smile, which made Yu Xiao feel a little distressed.
In about half an hour, the two arrived at Luo Yi's residence, a two-living room house of more than 90 square meters, with a decent decoration. When Yu Xiao entered the house, she saw a few pairs of women's shoes on the shoe cabinet, but she didn't care. On the way here, Luo Yi told her that there was a couple living in the house, who were his colleagues.
Yu Xiao looked around and when he walked into Luo Yi's room, he was hugged from behind.
"Ayi..." Yu Xiao's heart skipped a beat unconsciously. When she wanted to say something, Luo Yi pulled her over and kissed her lips.
During this period of time, she was forced into a desperate situation. She had been thinking about him, and suddenly she was surrounded by his breath. Yu Xiao felt her heart melted instantly. She put her arms around his neck and began to kiss him back. Luo Yi was delighted and satisfied with her reaction. He hugged her and fell on the big bed. He put his hand into her shirt and wanted to hold the softness of her chest.
"Ayi, don't!" Yu Xiao held Luo Yi's hand and looked at him nervously: "I... I'm not ready yet..."
Luo Yi's expression changed, and he felt a little depressed, but he still looked at Yu Xiao and smiled: "It's okay!"
Yu Xiao stayed at Luo Yi's house for more than an hour before leaving. She sat in a taxi, thinking about what Luo Yi said to her, and felt a little confused. She took out her cell phone and called her friends An An and Xiao Tong, asking them to come out and help her with some ideas.
"What did you say? Luo Yi asked you to marry Kang Shaonan? Damn, did I hear it wrong? Is he a man?" As soon as An An on the opposite side finished listening to Yu Xiao's words, she was a little furious and slammed the table, which scared Yu Xiao.
"Isn't he in trouble now?" Yu Xiao bit her lip and explained for Luo Yi.
"You can't do this even if you are in trouble! Do you know what he is doing? He sold you out, and you still help him count the money! I used to think he was a good guy, but this time I am so disappointed!" An An was furious and completely despised Luo Yi's behavior.
"I also think he's going a bit too far. Who is Kang Shaonan? He's a soldier! He's even made the position of regiment commander. If he wants to deal with a little girl like you, all he needs is one finger. If you marry him, you'll never come back!" Xiao Tong next to him seriously agreed with An An's opinion.
"Then what should I do? Kang Shaonan has already borrowed two million from our family. My parents will definitely not agree if I don't marry him. But if I really marry him, what about Luo Yi?" Yu Xiao sighed in distress, looking at the two of them, not knowing what to do.
"You little bastard, he's about to sell you off, why are you still thinking about him? I say, you should just marry Kang Shaonan! But you can follow the three conditions Luo Yi mentioned!" An An rolled her eyes and hooked her finger at Yu Xiao: "Come here!"
Yu Xiao and Xiao Tong hurried over and stared at this funny guy.
"Give Kang Shaonan one million, but you have to keep it for yourself. First, test Luo Yi's sincerity towards you, and second, test Kang Shaonan. Although you are not a soldier, you can make three rules with him before you get married. Before you fall in love with him, he can't touch you casually!" (To be continued)
