Chapter 242 - 242 I Will Only Marry You
242 I Will Only Marry You
Yu Yan hurriedly retracted her hand, but her attention could no longer return to the screen. Her thoughts drifted to the first night they interacted intimately, and then to the scene where he forced her to hold hands.
The two of them had gotten a little too close to each other just now. He smelled quite good, and he gave off the faint fragrance of soap. As expected, she had to find someone from the city. Rural people worked in the fields all day long and were so dirty. They were unworthy of her.
At the thought of this, Yu Yan secretly glanced at Yao Nian from the corner of her eye. Yao Nian was good-looking to begin with. In the dark cinema, the screen emitted a weak light. Under this hazy feeling and the heart-fluttering sensation that had just been aroused, Yu Yan suddenly felt that the embarrassing touch just now was a little romantic.
Yu Yan suddenly thought of what her cousin had said. If someone could make her heart race, it meant that she liked him. Although Yu Yan wasn’t sure if she liked Yao Nian or not, she knew that being with Yao Nian was definitely better than being with that bumpkin her adoptive parents had found for her!
Her adoptive brother wasn’t a good person either!
Initially, she thought that although she wasn’t his biological sister, he had been quite good to her since she was young. However, her adoptive brother didn’t think of introducing her to the children of high-ranking officials in the army. He even introduced her to someone whose family was in the countryside! She heard that that person even had twin siblings who were six years old. She didn’t know what the man’s parents were thinking. Their son was already 19 years old, but they still wanted to give birth to more children.
In the future, when the younger ones grew up, the two old fellows would be so old that they wouldn’t be able to work anymore. In the end, the betrothal gifts and dowry would fall into the hands of the eldest son and daughter-in-law!
Yu Yan felt that her adoptive parents treated her as a fool. Fortunately, her hunger strike was effective and forced them to give up on this idea. Otherwise, she would definitely turn the courtyard upside down and embarrass them.
She didn’t plan to take care of her future husband’s siblings!
At the thought of this, Yu Yan began to feel indignant about how Yu Bing could get Yao Nian, who had been carefully chosen by her parents.
However, when she thought of Yao Nian’s various advances on her, Yu Yan attributed all of this to Yao Nian’s affection for or even infatuation with her, so she felt smug. She had charmed Yu Bing’s fiancé into being loyal to her. Wasn’t this direct proof that she was more outstanding than Yu Bing?
During the remaining hour of the movie, Yu Yan’s imagination was running wild, while Yao Nian was coming up with his subsequent plan.
It was only noon after the movie, so Yao Nian brought Yu Yan to the state-owned restaurant for noodles. Then, they went to the park to swim in the lake. When they returned to the village on the ox cart, it was already five o’clock.
After interacting with her for some time, Yao Nian had discovered that Yu Yan was a simple-minded and vain person who was vulnerable to flattery. Therefore, he easily won Yu Yan over and she was all smiles for the entire afternoon.
Yu Yan was even more satisfied with Yao Nian, so it could be said that both sides felt that they had achieved their goal.
However, when Yao Nian calculated that the expenditure for today was as high as two yuan, he immediately felt rueful. He could only comfort himself that one had to spend money to make money!
After dinner, the two of them gathered in an inconspicuous corner under the dormitory building. Yao Nian looked at Yu Yan affectionately as he said, “Yu Yan, I don’t want to hide my relationship with you like this. I want everyone to know that you’re my girlfriend!”
As Yu Yan looked at Yao Nian’s serious and affectionate confession, she felt extremely satisfied. However, she couldn’t let Yao Nian have his way so quickly. Things that were obtained too easily often weren’t cherished. She had to continue to keep Yao Nian hanging to let him know that she wasn’t a woman who could be obtained easily.
However, Yu Yan naturally couldn’t show it on her face. She pretended to be troubled as she said, “Let’s wait a little longer. We haven’t been together for long. If everyone finds out that you like someone else one day, how can I survive here?”
Yao Nian immediately expressed his loyalty. “How can that be?! I’ve only liked you in my life! I won’t marry anyone but you!”
When Yu Yan heard Yao Nian’s confession, she wasn’t fooled by his words. Instead, she thought of Yu Bing. “Pfft, are you lying to me? You even helped Yu Bing carry water previously. If you didn’t like her, how could you help her?”
