Speaking of this, BeiTang MinQian suddenly stopped smiling, but instead became a bit gloomy as he very seriously uttered, “YuanHeng, do you think I look ugly?”
Su YuanHeng is completely baffled, not understanding why BeiTang MinQian would suddenly ask this question. He awkwardly responded, “You"re joking, right? Saying that you"re ugly?” If you are, then wouldn"t everyone in this world be too embarra.s.sed to be alive?
BeiTang MinQian touched his face, “I also don"t feel that I"m ugly but can you believe it? That girl actually doesn"t want to look like me so she went for cosmetic surgery.”
Su YuanHeng is so shocked that his mouth dropped.
BeiTang MinQian resentfully added, “I don"t know what this woman is thinking. Surely, she came from an alien world!"
Toward this elder twin sister, BeiTang MinQian"s att.i.tude is not like ordinary people.
She"s like the other half of his body, regardless of whether it is criticism or praise; he"d speak with such extreme intimacy and candidness.
“That"s really HuiZhi?” Su YuanHeng still can"t believe it.
"She said that since I"ve became a big star, it was very troublesome for her to go out, which impacted her carefree life so she must get rid of our “look-alike face."
BeiTang MinQian"s expression is very upset as he gnawed his teeth and cursed, “That stupid woman. What"s bad with being a beauty? Insisting on cosmetic surgery, I"m going to see if she can get married in the future!"
BeiTang MinQian is one that dislikes people praising his appearance and also somewhat loathe his own appearance. However, toward BeiTang HuiZhi who has the same face as him, he didn"t hesitate to praise, which contradicts his att.i.tude toward his own appearance.
At that time, both BeiTang HuiZhi and BeiTang MinQian were in the same situation; having been wandering out of the family for six years, they were both captured back to America by their eldest sister. That just happened to be her first time returning to the country after her cosmetic surgery so the New York reporters didn"t recognize her.
Adding on that Lin ShaoCong was enthusiastically promoting the engagement between BeiTang MinQian and Lin ZiYan so when the New York reporters outside of the hotel saw the siblings coming out, BeiTang HuiZhi was inevitably mistaken for Lin ZiYan. In any case, all Asians look the same in their eyes so this can"t be blamed on them.
After understanding the facts, Su YuanHeng"s heart suddenly relaxed. The dark clouds hovering over him has all but dissipated, no longer making him feel depressive.
This matter had made him feel like an idiot for torturing himself the past few months.
After BeiTang MinQian realized what has been on his mind, he also actually thought that Su YuanHeng was getting himself all worried for nothing. But at that time, their feelings were very ambiguous so it"s no wonder that he would misunderstand.
With this in mind, BeiTang MinQian changed the topic back, “So what do you think about my suggestion just now?”
Su YuanHeng"s eyes flickered, “What suggestion?”
“Getting married. Us getting married?” BeiTang MinQian sat cross-legged on the bed and very sincerely stared at him.
Su YuanHeng is speechless. Looking at him silently for a while, he slowly asked, “Are you proposing now?”
"Can"t you tell?” BeiTang MinQian stared.
Su YuanHeng rubbed his forehead.
At 10:30 in the evening, in a dimly lit room, sitting on a big bed without any music, without a ring, with no ambiance whatsoever, he was getting proposed to. There is a surprising element, in that it is too “shocking.” This is definitely not romantic at all.
“Let"s……can we talk about this another day? I"m tired. Let"s just sleep first.”
“Wait, why do we need to talk about this another day?” BeiTang MinQian displeasingly grabbed his hand that was pulling the blanket and overbearingly asked, “Answer me today! Today!”
Su YuanHeng helplessly look at him. BeiTang MinQian"s personality is just like this.
Sometimes his ideas would pop out of nowhere and then needing reaction immediately, just like an unruly willful child.
“MinQian, marriage is not just a matter between just two people. Have you discussed this with your family?”
BeiTang MinQian looked at him, “What"s there to discuss with them?” His parents have pa.s.sed away long ago. His three sisters, aside from BeiTang YaZhi, the other two don"t care. What"s there to discuss?
Sure enough……
Su YuanHeng suddenly has a headache, “Let me think about it. Qian, I"m really tired, very sleepy, let me sleep.”
This is the first time BeiTang MinQian has ever proposed to anyone, yet he was completely ignored.
Su YuanHeng held his protruding belly and clumsily got under the blanket with his back to BeiTang MinQian. He fell asleep in less than two minutes.
On the side, BeiTang MinQian stared at him, so angry that he couldn"t say anything.
The next day, Qin Su returned to the orphanage so their home resumed back the lifestyle consisting of just the two of them.
After careful consideration, Siva finally decided to work for the BeiTang Company. Being in the entertainment industry for so long, he is also a bit tired of it. Although that life is brilliant in colors, it could also be dark and scandalous. Being in it for two long can really lower a person"s moral.
It"s not like he has no other alternative so why bother trapping himself in a rut?
Furthermore, to be able to meet a hidden talent like Werner, once in a lifetime is enough.
Siva is an Australian-Chinese that is proficient in the six languages with a master"s degree in management from Sydney. He is essentially born to work for BeiTang MinQian. Whether it was in entertainment industry back then or now……
With Siva"s help, things in the company will be much easier to handle for BeiTang MinQian.
Right now BeiTang MinQian didn"t want to return to America because Su YuanHeng wasn"t willing to go with him.
Su YuanHeng is nearly nine months along. His belly is almost like the size of a large watermelon, protruding in front of him so even walking is difficult. Adding on his current condition is really not good, so for him to take a long distance flight back to America with him also makes him in uneasy. But if Su YuanHeng doesn"t go back with him, he"s not certain that the family matters can be resolved within three months. So he has been postponing this for the longest time for fear of missing Su YuanHeng"s delivery.
BeiTang MinQian complained to BeiTang HuiZhi online. He also told her about Su YuanHeng mistaking her for Lin ZiYan. The siblings cracked up.
Seeing how distressed he is about this matter, BeiTang HuiZhi suddenly and unexpectedly uttered, “Don"t worry about the family matters here, I"ll help you take care of it."
BeiTang MinQian was momentarily surprised, “I thought you didn"t like to meddle in family matters?”
“I don"t but who told you to be my brother and Dr. Su my benefactor,” BeiTang HuiZhi giggled, “Moreover, I"m going to be an aunt soon. How could I bear to see you so distressed? I"ll help you take care of the family matters here, you just stay there. Wait till my little nephew is born, I"ll go there for the wedding. ”
BeiTang MinQian doubtfully asked, “It"s easy to say but could you really do it?”
BeiTang HuiZhi furiously reacted, “You dare to underestimate me? Don"t you know that I also have the BeiTang family"s genes?”
BeiTang MinQian touched his chin, contemplating, “Oh, you are an alien. I believe you.”
“Looking for a fight?”
“What a pity. You can win.”
“Hmmph! If you keep p.i.s.sing me off, I"m not going to do this for you." BeiTang HuiZhi was angry but laughed. She knows best on how to push her brother"s b.u.t.tons.
BeiTang MinQian"s expression immediately changed as she solemnly uttered, “HuiZhi, in fact, there is a phrase that I"ve always wanted to tell you.”
“Say it,” BeiTang HuiZhi proudly raised her small chin, waiting to hear what this younger would say to concede.
“HuiZhi……” BeiTang MinQian"s appeared to be struggling and very slowly uttered, “Every time you raised your eyebrows, the wrinkle on your forehead is even more obvious.”
“You!…BeiTang MinQian go die! Go die! Go……”
BeiTang MinQian disconnected the video call, putting both hands behind his head as he leaned onto the leather chair.
With HuiZhi overseeing things there, he won"t have to worry with matters in the headquarters and can peacefully stay in China till after Su YuanHeng gives birth to the baby.
However, when he remembered the conversation with Su YuanHeng that night, he came to realize that in Su YuanHeng"s heart, he actually doesn"t trust him.
Reflecting on this for a moment, he felt that he had been too dispa.s.sionate and indifferent with their relationship in the past. With him in the entertainment industry, inevitably there would be numerous scandals. Su YuanHeng is a conservative introvert so he would naturally have skewed thoughts. Adding on to his childhood trauma of being abandoned by his father, this would have casted a shadow in his heart, making him even more insecure than ordinary people.
BeiTang MinQian felt a bit pained.
In all honesty, BeiTang MinQian didn"t really didn"t expect the two of them to reach to the stage they are at today. From the time Su YuanHeng took the initiative and left home, BeiTang MinQian realized that being abandoned is really miserable. The three days that he was home alone, even though he didn"t show it, he was really depressed and felt very guilty.
Each night that he laid on their bed, the only thing on his mind is missing SuYuanHeng"s scent.
Finally, when he made up his mind to go find Su YuanHeng, he was kidnapped by the people sent by his eldest sister and returned to America.
During his time in America, he thought of a lot of things. Returning to the family once again, whether he was busy or idle, he would think of Su YuanHeng. They have been together for so many years. How could there not be any feelings? If he didn"t like him, why would he take the initiative to court him back then and then becoming lovers?
When he was in the entertainment industry, he was surrounded by beautiful men and women. He, himself, had a few short-lasting flings with some but he was merely fooling around. These people never touched his heart like Su YuanHeng. Ultimately, he would still return to Su YuanHeng.
In fact, BeiTang MinQian is a very rational person with a lot of self-restraint.
He won"t easily fall for anyone, but once he does, his love won"t easily change.
When he came to admit his own feelings, his first thought was to go find Su YuanHeng. It just coincidentally happened that it was at the same time that his eldest sister was also aware of Yan YuHeng"s matters. So, she no longer hesitated in taking actions. Who would have known that by the time he found Su YuanHeng, Su YuanHeng was actually more than four months pregnant.
This is really an icing on the cake. His eldest sister would have nothing to say now.
BeiTang MinQian remembered his marriage proposal being rejected by Su YuanHeng; he suddenly came up with an idea.
When he got home at night, Su YuanHeng already made dinner. In his current very pregnancy state, his movements are clumsy and his mind sluggish. The foods he made are not as good as before and his taste in food is weird. But BeiTang MinQian didn"t say anything. He ate it all and then went into the kitchen to wash the dishes while Su YuanHeng watched TV in the living room.
“How are you today? Did the baby give you any trouble?”
“Still fine.”
Hearing Su YuanHeng"s dispirited words, BeiTang MinQian worriedly asked, "Still don"t want to move? You didn"t go out for a walk today?"
“Uh……don"t want to go out.”
“That is not a excuse.” BeiTang MinQian wiped his hand and went back out to the living room. He stared at Su YuanHeng, “I"m going to take you to see Dr. Qui tomorrow. You can"t always be like this. It"s not good for the baby."
Su YuanHeng also knew that since his father"s death, his mental state is very bad but he didn"t really want to see a doctor for this.
"When are you going back to America?" Su YuanHeng asked as he picked up the apple that BeiTang MinQian washed and started to eat it slowly.
“Don"t change the topic. There are only two weeks till your delivery date, how could I go back to America at this time?”
Su YuanHeng touched his pregnant belly and lightly said, “It"s going to be fine. I can do it myself; I don"t need you to accompany me.”
BeiTang MinQian furrowed his brows, “I want to stay with you.”
Su YuanHeng quietly ate the apple, not saying anymore.
BeiTang MinQian has no other ways to deal with his uncooperative att.i.tude, “I have a gift for you but it"s also a surprise. If you willingly go to the hospital for a checkup, I"ll tell you what it is.”
Su YuanHeng couldn"t help but glance at him, "You treating me as a child? I"m already this old. I don"t have the curiosity of children."
“How could you say that? You"re just in your prime right now." BeiTang MinQian embraced him and uttered, “Just pretend to do it for us and be a little curious okay? Go to the hospital? If you still insist on not going and p.i.s.s me off, I"m going to knock you out and carry you there. Would you rather have it that way?”
Su YuanHeng has no other way around it. And further thinking that his expected delivery date is near, he should go to the hospital for a check up. He finally nodded his head in agreement.
BeiTang MinQian is happy, “I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon so we can"t go. We"ll go first thing in the morning after tomorrow to see Doctor Qiu.”
"Okay."
At this time, the phrase that "life can be completely unpredictable" didn"t even occur in their minds. A little mishap almost rendered the little surprise prepared by BeiTang MinQian"s useless and nearly eternally separated the two of them from life and death.
