Chapter 169 The Sober Madman
Chapter 169 The Sober Madman
Even Ni Jia was a little surprised to hear this. Cheng Wenbo would never be like this before, but today he seemed a little stubborn.
Besides, these two people have always been the focus. If the stalemate continues, it will probably be on the news tomorrow morning.
"I'll go with you." She squeezed Li Yucheng's hand. When he heard this, his face changed immediately.
Just a few minutes ago, they were still arguing about the three principles, but they didn't expect that they would have to break the contract now.
"You want to go with him?" Li Yucheng stared at her and repeated it.
His face was colder than the weather in January, and his hands were so strong that Ni Jia felt his metacarpal bones were about to break.
"Yes," Ni Jia smiled faintly, hinting at Li Yucheng with what he had said before, "I'll go and solve the problem."
Mrs. Cheng is the protagonist of this dinner party. Since Cheng Wenbo invited her with this excuse, it is certain that she has no way to refuse.
She couldn't afford to delay the start of the dinner or ruin people's mood.
"Ni Jia." Li Yucheng seemed to be unable to hear anything and insisted on confirming the result with her, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Ni Jia answered without hesitation and began to look around for Chen Mi.
Since she had promised, she would not go to the meeting alone. No matter what Cheng Wenbo was up to, she believed that he would not be able to do anything as long as there was a third person present.
"Your mother should have met Chen Mi," Ni Jia said politely, "I'll call her."
"Okay." Cheng Wenbai agreed and helped find Chen Mi.
The strength in her hands suddenly loosened, and Ni Jia subconsciously looked at Li Yucheng, and found that his face was ashen, his jaw muscles were tense, and his eyes were looking past her at somewhere.
Based on the other party's level of direct vision, Ni Jia looked in that direction and found that Li Yucheng was just staring at a wall and was not looking at anyone or anything in particular.
She gently tugged at her cloak, and Li Yucheng's gaze dropped down and returned to her face.
She saw forbearance, restraint, anger, disbelief in those eyes...many emotions mixed together, and finally turned into disappointment.
"I'm going to solve the problem."
Due to Cheng Wenbo's presence, she could only repeat in a low voice, using her eyes to convey the message.
But Li Yucheng just looked at her calmly, insisting on a silent protest. After five or six seconds, he reached out and took the clothes from her hand.
"It's up to you." The other party said the last two words and stopped looking at her.
Ni Jia understood it at the moment when Li Yucheng's emotions changed from turbulent to calm.
Li Yucheng just didn't want her to go. As for other reasons or purposes, they were not important at all. Just this behavior was unacceptable to the other party.
"Let's go."
Cheng Wenbo brought Chen Mi back. Ni Jia didn't have time to explain more, and she didn't even get the chance to give him a reassuring look.
Because Li Yucheng walked away with the wine glass, without looking back, without saying anything, and without caring about her.
Trouble, she thought.
Cheng Wenbai led them through winding paths, through the marble-decorated wind and rain corridor, and arrived at the south garden.
This is a standard French manor, elegant and grand in style. The courtyard is covered with roses. Perhaps because it is the wedding anniversary, a romantic atmosphere permeates everywhere.
"Your father is so thoughtful." Chen Mi sighed.
Cheng Wenbai smiled and said nothing.
After passing through a pavilion, they came to a lawn. From the first moment he saw the lawn, Ni Jia had a bad feeling.
But it was too late. Cheng Wenbai pressed a switch somewhere, and the light strings wrapped around the bushes suddenly lit up.
There is a big white unicorn on the right, with a flower path paved with white roses on both sides, a butterfly-shaped platform in the front, and a semicircular arch in the middle.
Seeing Cheng Wenbo come out holding a large bouquet of red roses, Chen Mi was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Gou Jia, what is he doing?"
"go Ape."
Ni Jia did not step onto the road paved with flowers, but stopped at the starting point, feeling sorry for her friendship with Cheng Wenbo.
She even felt that Cheng Wenbo was clear about what the consequences of this farce would be.
Chen Mi was also confused as she became the only witness of this proposal for no reason: "What should I do? I am actually a little touched."
Seeing Cheng Wenbo walking towards her with a bouquet of flowers, Ni Jia calmly replied: "You should feel sad."
"He is not Cheng Wenbo, he is Wang Sheng tonight." Chen Mi said.
Wang Sheng will not turn back until he hits the wall.
"No," Ni Jia clutched the small bag in his hand, his tone still indifferent: "He is a sober madman."
Even though this was a farce destined to end in tragedy, when Cheng Wenbo was only one meter away from them, Chen Mi still consciously stepped back from the flower path.
Obviously, they are from a noble family and have known each other for many years, but Cheng Wenbo's behavior tonight still made her feel unfamiliar.
She couldn't believe that the steady and gentle Dr. Cheng would choose to be a madman in love.
As a bystander of this secret love and a witness of the proposal, she suddenly clenched her teeth and wanted to cry.
"Jia Jia..." After calling out the name, Cheng Wenbai began to stutter for the first time, "Can you... come with me first?"
Ni Jia glanced at the flowers in his hand and said in a cold tone: "Let's talk about it here."
"Okay." Cheng Wenbo handed over the flowers, but Ni Jia didn't take them. The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and in the end he held the flowers himself.
"Some things always feel like if I don't say them now, I'll never have the chance to say them again."
“It’s been about ten years since we met.”
Seeing Ni Jia's surprise, Cheng Wenbo smiled sadly: "We met in the cafeteria when you were a freshman."
"That day you came late with a drawing board in your hand, and while choosing food at the window, you used a pencil to casually style your hair."
"I was standing behind you at the time." He pointed at his hair and said, "I thought it was magical."
"You picked a corner where no one was, and you kept staring at the drawing board while eating. The funniest thing is..."
Cheng Wenbo paused, his Adam's apple rolling back and forth several times, before he continued: "You were halfway through eating when you suddenly started looking for a pen. I saw you rummaging through everything, even your pockets..."
"I wanted to remind you."
"But just as I was getting up, you remembered it yourself."
Cheng Wenbo's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I always seem to be a step behind."
"Slow down a bit, and you'll find your pen."
"A step slower and you'll be married."
This sounded like just a very ordinary thing, so small that Ni Jia didn't even remember it. She listened in silence, as if she was listening to someone else's story.
“In fact, I don’t want to come back at all. Switzerland is so nice that we are like a family.”
“So good that I started to think I still had a chance.”
"Jia Jia," Cheng Wenbo took out the diamond ring with red eyes and knelt on one knee, "Come back to Switzerland with me, okay?"
"I'll be Dr. Cheng, and you'll be Ni Jia, and we can live a simple life...is that ok?"
