Chapter 771: Do You Want To Spend The Rest Of Your Life With Me?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The cemetery was built more than a year ago. It used to be a small hill without any graves but due to the increase in the number of graves over time, it was developed into a cemetery.
Yan Jinyi vaguely remembered that Yan Guosheng and his wife had wanted to be buried in the city after they pa.s.sed but unfortunately, the costs were too high so Yan Jinyi’s uncle and aunt decided to just have their bodies cremated before scattering their ashes into the river.
The original Yan Jinyi couldn’t bear to let them do that so she went to the trouble of sending their corpses back to Tong City.
Now, the tombstone was beautiful but it had also cost a large amount of the original owner’s savings.
Even though her parents were really irresponsible, she still loved them.
Thinking about it, Yan Jinyi sighed.
Staring at the photo of the average-looking couple on the tombstone, she thought to herself that they were definitely lucky to have given birth to such a pretty daughter.
“Darling, do you need some privacy?”
Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Xishen, who was standing beside her in a neat black suit. He was somewhat expressionless and he looked rather austere.
“No need.”
She had nothing to say.
She turned to look at the tombstone again and thought to herself secretly, ‘You guys were quite irresponsible as parents and you even took advantage of Yan Jinyi but no matter what, I still have to thank you for giving birth to her.’
‘Otherwise, I may not have the opportunity to be reincarnated now…’
Yan Jinyi sighed again, determined to protect her body well.
“Darling, Mom and Dad seem to lack love and concern for you.”
“Have you ever seen anyone from my family showing concern for me?”
Her maternal grandfather who had pa.s.sed away, was an exception.
Her grandfather did treat her rather well and although he clearly could have approached Huo Xian to ask for a guarantee for his children back then, he chose to help her get engaged instead.
“Mr. Huo, how did you feel when you found out that you had to marry me?”
Huo Xishen answered honestly, “I didn’t feel much.”
“Huh?”
“To me, it’s the same regardless of who I marry.”
He had thought that he would dedicate his life to his career, and after marrying Yan Jinyi, they had met only a handful of times.
He couldn’t even remember what she looked like.
However, he wondered, Since when did she start paying attention to me?
Maybe, it was the day when Huo Zihang suddenly called to tell him that she was the person he had to marry.
Huo Xishen smiled and looked at her from sideways. “What about you, Darling? What mood were you in at that time?”
Yan Jinyi carefully recalled the original owner’s mood when she learned she was engaged to Huo Xishen.
The original owner had always been infatuated with this man and had known about the marriage contract earlier than Huo Xishen.
It was because of that that she began to silently pay attention to him and fall in love with him.
As for her mood…
She was probably overjoyed!
Her one-sided crush on him had finally progressed further.
‘Silly. He’s the president of a big company who has everything he wants. Why would he fall in love with me because of a contract?’
“I hated you.”
Huo Xishen was a little surprised, “a.s.sistant Wen told me that you were quite happy when we registered our marriage and received the marriage certificate.”
The mention of it triggered Yan Jinyi. “Speaking of which, I think my husband should have been a.s.sistant Wen. You rich people are quite good at playing, huh? You sent your subordinate to register your marriage for you. Why don’t you have your subordinate to help you give birth too?”
Huo Xishen’s handsome face was sullen. “Darling, pay attention to your wording.”
“Pay attention to my wordings? Is what I said not right? Do you really think she… I was happy? I just don’t want to embarra.s.s myself in front of outsiders so I decided to cooperate with you.”
Seeing how agitated she had gotten, Huo Xishen stayed silent for a moment before suddenly reaching out to hold her in his arms.
“So now, do you still want to spend the rest of your life with me?”
“Can’t I live on my own? I have money, good looks, and a good job.. Why do I have to live with you?” Yan Jinyi humphed coldly and said with great sarcasm.
