Chapter 165: Unt.i.tled
Cheng Anya had b.u.t.terflies in her stomach…
The man’s searing hot scent rushed at her and enveloped her. There was a little warmth in the scent that lingered around each other’s nose.
Their heartbeats were a little irregular!
‘All I want is for you to fall head over heels for me!’
This sentence, like a lingering tune in her ears, shook her heart. What was once unclear in her heart became gradually clearer. Oh, how greedy she was!
She was very greedy!
She was greedy for the clarity and understanding in these matters of the heart.
“Third Young Master Ye, why did you suddenly think of getting married?” Cheng Anya tried to tame her thumping heart. Cheng Anya was typically rational, sometimes excessively so. Apart from visiting the bar out of impulse and having a one night stand with Third Young Master Ye, she had never done anything her reasoning would not allow her to do.
“I am thinking of getting married!” Third Young Master Ye said seriously as he smiled and gently caressed Cheng Anya’s cheeks, enjoying every moment of it. In particular, he seemed to enjoy pinching and touching her face. “Since we loved each other seven years ago, and now that you have Ning Ning, I was already planning to marry you. Just seven years later.”
Cheng Anya was aghast and looked down in panic. Oh my G.o.d, Third Young Master Ye, could you not mention what happened seven years ago in such an atmosphere?
Miss Cheng was flushed from the guilt!
Third Young Master Ye interpreted this expression as her being embarra.s.sed and happy. Although he did not like her to the point of wanting her, he had no qualms living together with her.
He had no qualms with her entering his life.
He was even antic.i.p.ating it!
“Your answer!” Third Young Master Ye saw her bow her head and gently lifted her chin as he demanded an answer from her. This woman clearly liked him, no?
Although Cheng Anya was special, she concealed them with her typically gentle smile and calm demeanor.
However, when one took a liking to somebody, it was impossible to flawlessly conceal the liking in one’s gaze!
Ye Chen could feel that she had taken a slight liking to him.
There were two voices in Cheng Anya’s heart. One was a little Cheng Anya whose eyes were bubbling with money and hearts as it waved its hands crazily while screaming, ‘Marry him! Look at how rich and handsome he is!’
The other little Anya wore a formal smile and shook her head plainly. ‘Marriage is between two people who love each other. He doesn’t love you enough yet!’
Miss Cheng wandered between the two little Anyas!
After a minute, she raised her head and smiled politely. “I do not want to get married!” She clearly enunciated each word.
“Why not?” Third Young Master Ye’s gaze fell and lost their l.u.s.ter. His eyes, like two dusty obsidian rocks, made heart ache a little.
Cheng Anya looked up and wondered, ‘My great Third Young Master Ye, why don’t you think about the ridicule you will get when you try to pursue someone beautiful?’
Ning Ning pulled this off each time, and so did Third Young Master Ye. Inheritance was clearly at work.
“I feel that, if you cry now, I might agree!” Miss Cheng replied in laughter. Instead of getting upset, Third Young Master Ye stared at her as he gritted his teeth. From the sound of him gritting his teeth, Cheng Anya had no doubt he would go for her neck.
“Fat hope!” Third Young Master Ye said viciously. He hated smart women. Really, he hated smart women ahh…
He was indeed a little hurt. This was his first time proposing, and to be turned down so harshly was no doubt a sucker punch to him who had a smooth-sailing romantic life. Why did she think he was feigning it?
“That’s why I say, audiences struggle to accept actors who are suddenly cast as beggars when they have been cast as emperors their whole lives. Be a good boy. It’s not your mistake. Don’t be shaken!” Cheng Anya calmly took a dig at him. ‘F***, you acted like a bully when asking for my hand, and now you act all gentlemanly. How insincere!’
Besides, where was the ring? The flowers? What kind of a wedding proposal was this?
“Why won’t you marry me? ” Third Young Master Ye asked arrogantly. His arrogant tone made it seem as if not marrying him was a heinous sin.
Ning Ning stood by the door and kept silent. ‘Daddy, given your att.i.tude, Mommy will have to consider the possibility of family violence even if she does want to marry you! You’re typically calm, but why are you so different when you’re with Mommy?’
The young kid was deep in thought.
“Why should I marry you?” Cheng Anya smiled as she asked in reply. “It’s you, not me, who are thinking of getting married. On what basis should I marry you just because you want me to?” She slowly touched Third Young Master Ye’s delicate cheeks and smiled.
‘This lady has human rights too!’
Third Young Master Ye moved her hand away and looked at her with a cold, emotionless gaze. Cheng Anya’s heart pounded as she seemed to see a huge block of ice smoking. It was getting cold…
“Could you stop giving people such a scary look, please?” Cheng Anya smiled and her eyes widened. “For a guy to be rejected in a proposal is nothing too big. Third Young Master Ye, be a gentleman, please!”
“You are serious about not getting married?” Third Young Master Ye squeezed the words through his teeth and looked at her seriously.
“I am not marrying you!” Cheng Anya insisted. “Have you actually thought about why I would not marry you?” She suddenly smiled.
Third Young Master Ye was caught off guard, and Cheng Anya knew this arrogant man had never considered why he would not marry her. Like what he said, she had to marry him when he thought about getting married.
Because he thought of wanting to get married, rather than the reason for getting married.
“Third Young Master Ye, even if you wanted to be the president of the United States, would you run to the president and tell him, ‘Hey partner, wanna step down? I want to be the president.’?”
Cheng Anya was stunned by how quickly her mind made the connections.
Actually, it was also quite good not to think about the reasons for marriage. It was better than him telling her that he wanted to marry her because of Ning Ning. Had that happened, Miss Cheng might have just slapped his face with a slipper.
“You do not like me!” Third Young Master Ye said calmly as his countenance grew colder. Apart from this reason, he could not think of other reasons she was unwilling to marry him. Could she have fallen for somebody else, like his rival, Yang Zekun, perhaps?
Third Young Master Ye became even colder!
Cheng Anya suspected whether his cold presence would freeze her into an ice pop.
“If you think that is the reason, then so be it!” Cheng Anya smiled. She discovered that, although Third Young Master Ye had many women to his name, he was, however, clumsy when it came to matters of the heart.
Although she was also clumsy, he was clumsier than her.
He had never taken the effort to understand the women around him in the past few years. Perhaps that was why he was clumsy.
But, it was kind of cute, wasn’t it?
“You’re lying! You clearly like me!” Third Young Master Ye said as he frowned and looked at Cheng Anya solemnly. He clenched his fists and became even more irritated when he thought of Cheng Anya not liking him.
He was subconsciously fighting against that thought!
Cheng Anya was aghast and smiled, despite her sighing in her heart. Why couldn’t the smart and calm Ye Chen work his mind around such issues? “Marriage is something between two people who love each other. Ye Chen, do you love me?” A eureka moment came upon her during her silence.
The calm Third Young Master Ye was slightly caught off guard and was at a loss.
Countless women had asked him before. “Ye Chen, do you love me?”
“I love you!” Ye Chen would blurt out the reply without a second thought.
It had always been the case!
However, when he faced Cheng Anya, this was something he could not easily say. It was lodged in his throat, never to see daylight.
As their gazes locked, one was calm while the other was solemn. Both were silent.
“Are we only getting married as long as I love you?” Ye Chen asked after a moment.
Cheng Anya was stunned. That was the case theoretically. Cheng Anya nodded and Ye Chen suddenly broke into a smile. The coldness around him dissipated and warmth returned to him. “That said, I love you!”
Cheng Anya was at a loss for words.
F***! He had sure reacted quickly.
“You…” Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Chen pulled her over as he lowered her head and kissed her lips hard. There was a little happiness, excitement, and craziness in his warm lips that made for a tangled web of feelings which had snugly entrapped Cheng Anya.
He kissed her roughly and held her body. He did not allow her to resist or say no, and threatened her to accept all his feelings at that moment!
Ning Ning, who was at the door, smiled. His daddy was too brilliant!
While his mommy could have the advantage in the short term, his daddy would always decide the victor.
Since his mommy said that marriage was only between two people who loved each other, she refused to marry him as his daddy did not love her.
Hence, his daddy asked whether they could get married if he loved her, and his mommy nodded. Didn’t that nod imply that she loved him?
The young kid laughed sneakily. As he had said, his mommy was no match for how scheming his daddy was. Watching this wedding proposal was so exciting as all the tricks came out of the bag and culminated in his mommy’s admission.
How amazing!
That being said, love required some techniques. He was ready to learn these techniques and use them any other day!
The young kid brought a cup of water and laughed as he entered his bedroom. Third Young Master Ye had no clue what kind of distorted example he had set for his son!
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Cheng Anya scolded him in embarra.s.sment and wanted to slap him to wipe off his smile. How could she be such an idiot and fall for his ploy! Miss Cheng was in a dilemma. She swore she would be a pig should she fall for his ploy again!
“How did I become such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d?” Third Young Master Ye seemingly laughed. “Was it that difficult for you to admit that you like me?” Contentment was written on his face.
Cheng Anya calmed down and smiled. “That was not difficult, but it will be difficult for you to marry me!”
“Someday, you will marry me!” Third Young Master Ye arrogantly said as he hugged her tightly and enjoyed her in his embrace. “I will make you agree to it!”
His voice was dull and magnetic as it rang in her ears. Cheng Anya had b.u.t.terflies in her stomach as her mind wandered. She was secretly vexed that she had made an unwise decision to stay together with him.
“You will have to try harder then!” Cheng Anya became a little more confident as she had the upper hand. “Let me ask you. Are you sure you know how to love a person?” She put on some airs.
“Teach me!” Third Young Master Ye said arrogantly. His gaze was full of happiness. He was in a good mood today!
“I’m sorry, but the fee is expensive!”
“I will pay however much it is!” Third Young Master Ye whispered in her ear. “Me included!” he said with a devilish charm.
