Originally wanted to go out and take a stroll, but I just didn't feel like it. So I randomly bought a few bags, skirts, and got a manicure before heading back. When I got home, I saw Xiao Mingyue sitting on the sofa working.
"You're back so early?" Xiao Mingyue glanced at me, then turned his attention back to his computer.
"Well, you called me, so how could I not come back..." I instinctively covered my mouth.
I really shouldn't have said anything.
Xiao Mingyue I closed the computer, pursed my lips, and then walked over to take the shopping bag from my hand. He paused, "It's so heavy, I'll hire a driver for you in the future to help you carry things." I looked at him suspiciously, at most he seemed... guilty?
"Aren't you angry?" Xiao Mingyue looked at me with sincere eyes, "I interrupted your party, you should be the one who's angry, right?"
Hopeless.
Xiao Mingyue: "Where do you usually go to have fun? What do you do for fun?"
Me: "Playing six Dot in the bar, playing Landlord in the KTV, sometimes hiring a few male models to sing and dance..." I mean, that's not what I meant.
Xiao Mingyue frowned, "Are you using my money to do these things?"
Me: "Not only that, I also bought a handbag, a little dress, and had a full-body treatment. Just to show some respect, I even bought you two ties."
Xiao Mingyue's expression darkened, and she leaned in closer, "...Didn't you say you were helping out your family?"
I sneered, "With my mom and my brother being so money-minded, if they knew you were my fiancé, they would strip you of everything you have!"
Xiao Mingyue's worldview, outlook on life, and values were completely shattered for a while. After all, I had always portrayed myself in front of him as a pure and virtuous image, like a white jasmine flower, poor but saintly. I told him that my family was very poor, but my mother insisted on sending me to college. From high school to college, I worked hard and frugally to lighten my mother's burden.
I said I had been eating plain congee with pickled vegetables throughout my three years in high school. I said I met a boy in high school who was even poorer than me, and I shared the money I earned from part-time work with him. I said the first thing I did when I received his money was to buy a decent piece of clothing for my family, and that I donate one-fifth of my living expenses to impoverished mountainous areas every month.
I said that I resigned from the company because my boss was bullying me, and I still haven't been hired by any company since then. I said that I can't do anything well, so I might as well stay at home and support him. Unexpectedly, he believed it all.
And now, he is looking at me in disbelief, knowing my true colors. I regret not keeping my mouth shut just now. Xiao Mingyue muttered a few words, "Do you love me?"
I covered my damn mouth directly and nodded heavily.
Xiao Mingyue's eyes turned red, and her voice was a bit hoarse, "Fine, the money I promised you is yours. Spend it however you want."
After putting the shopping bag aside, he led me to the dining table and carefully pulled out a chair for me to sit down.
Xiao Mingyue pretended to be relaxed, looked at her phone, "There's only... 10 minutes left today. Try this cake, it's also made by me."
Xiao Mingyue smiled beautifully, her eyes shining in the candlelight, pointing to the cake on the table with an expectant look.
Seeing me picking up the fork to eat the cake, she stopped me and said, "It's your 24th birthday, make a wish."
I smiled and said, "I don't have any wishes. Let's just live today well, who knows if we'll be alive tomorrow."
"Pah, pah, pah! What are you saying..." Xiao Mingyue looked very anxious.
I laughed even louder, "Then I hope I won't abandon you."
Speaking the truth.
Ignoring Xiao Mingyue's expression, I took a bite of the cake directly.
Hmm, it's too sweet.
It's too sweet, it's making me sick.
