Chapter 1297: Chapter 776: The Abacus / Miscalculation (Part 2)
“Why are you only coming out now?” Jing Xi frowned at Wang Wei, who rushed out, “He’s just one of my dad’s subordinates, treating us like that, why even bother talking to him? Do you really want to do what he says?”
“You heard everything?” Wang Wei sighed softly, “He’s right. If your parents don’t approve of me, it will be hard for us to truly be happy together.
Now, you might think I’m okay, but after living the daily grind, you’ll miss your previous life, the happiness that power brought you. I can’t provide that for you in this lifetime.
By then, if you go cry to your parents, they’ll say everything that happened was because you didn’t listen to them. The more we think about it, the more we’ll regret it, and endless arguments might ensue, our feelings fading with the arguments, and separation would become inevitable….”
“You want to break up with me?” Jing Xi interrupted him, full of anger, “Yesterday… we just got together yesterday, and you’re planning to break up with me. You… you’re really something…”
“Xiao Xi!” Wang Wei scolded, his eyes also filled with anger, “Is that really what I am to you? Can a marriage without parental blessing really be happy?
I told you long ago, after my father’s incident, I decided I would never go into politics in this life. The feeling of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley is too terrible. I don’t want to experience it once like my father, so when I’m with you, I never thought of taking advantage of your father’s influence.
But, will others believe it? Moreover, what’s truly gratifying and fulfilling is still power. Now, you might think it doesn’t matter, but as you get older, your feelings will certainly change.”
Seeing Jing Xi’s cheeks getting redder, Wang Wei quickly held her: “I said these things not to break up with you, I genuinely believe that a grand wedding is very important to you, and the blessings of family and friends are very important to you… Such compensation might prevent you from regretting marrying me in the future.”
“So…” Jing Xi shook her head with a smile, “so this is how you see me, I’m really disappointed.” Letting out a long sigh, “I’m already in my twenties, fully capable of thinking and judging for myself.
To reach this point, it’s because I believe you’re a man to whom I can entrust my life, a responsible man. Now it seems, I was wrong.
A few words from my dad, a few words from Miao Qizhong, and you’re scared. After what happened between us, then you tell me these rationales, aren’t you shameless?
Whatever, whether we marry or not is up to you, if we have one, I’ll give birth and raise it. If not, that’s fine, I can be carefree alone, and still have the chance to marry a good man…”
“Xiao Xi!” Wang Wei held her tightly, “I won’t let you leave me, saying these things is so you would understand my feelings, know my goodwill towards you, and together with me, persist until the day your parents recognize me.
Besides, what Luo Ye and the others said is true, I was a wanderer in the past, but now let me prove through actions that I’m not the irresponsible, power-craving wanderer they see me as, is that okay?”
“No!” Jing Xi shook her head vigorously, “To me, you being with me is the best. I don’t care what others say, I only trust what I feel.
If, you feel the same as me, then take me home, from now on, you, me, and mom live together. If there is a baby, my dad would never stop us from registering, he is a traditional man, absolutely unable to accept his daughter being an unwed mother.”
“But doing that, our parents will hate my guts.”
“Since when did they become our parents?” Jing Xi chuckled, “Sweet talker, forget it, I don’t want to bicker with you anymore, just say, are you willing to take me home or not?”
“Wife, please get in the car.” Wang Wei attentively opened the car door, placed his hand on the door, and bowed.
“Little Wei, drive!”
“Wife, got it!” Wang Wei responded quickly and sat in the driver’s seat.
As the car slid away, Jing Xi sighed again: “If there’s no baby, there’s no way we can register. My dad says I can decide for myself, and not to blame him whether things go well or not.
But from what I know about him, Island City has already received his call, so, even if we returned to where your permanent residence is registered, it would be useless.”
Wang Wei smiled and stroked her cheek: “Don’t be upset, wife, I’ll try my hardest.”
