The woman sized up Jiujiu as if she were an item. After a long while, she asked, "Is Meng Ke here?"
Jiujiu said, "He went out. Why are you looking for him?"
While the woman was sizing up Jiujiu, Jiujiu was also sizing her up. After all, this was the first person who had taken the initiative to look for Meng Ke after so long. Judging from the woman's attitude toward her, she seemed to be very close to Meng Ke.
At least, the woman knew Meng Ke's identity and why Meng Ke was by her side.
Hearing Jiujiu say that Meng Ke had gone out, a trace of regret flashed across the woman's face. She took a deep look at Jiujiu and turned to leave.
Not long after the woman left, the delivery man arrived.
Jiujiu took the delivery and ate while thinking about the relationship between the woman and Meng Ke.
The woman had just arrived downstairs when she ran into Meng Ke, who had hurried back.
Seeing that Meng Ke's meticulous hair was messy for a moment, although it added a bit of unruly beauty, it made the woman feel a little dissatisfied.
She had known Meng Ke for so many years, and Meng Ke had always been well-dressed. Now, he was actually flustered because of such a woman. It wasn't like the Meng Ke she knew.
The woman raised her hand and stroked Meng Ke's sideburns. She smoothed Meng Ke's messy hair and said, "I saw her just now."
She was referring to Jiujiu.
Hearing the woman say that she had seen Jiujiu, Meng Ke's body stiffened. His eyes turned cold. "I warned you not to get close to her."
Sensing Meng Ke's anger, the woman looked hurt. "I promised you that I wouldn't even look at the woman who made my fiancé go through so much trouble."
"You don't even want to believe your fiancé?" The woman's finger trailed down Meng Ke's cheek. When it reached his Adam's apple, Meng Ke grabbed it and flung it away.
The woman chuckled softly when she sensed Meng Ke's wariness. She nonchalantly withdrew her finger and looked into Meng Ke's deep and mesmerizing eyes. "I'll give you half a year. If you still can't deal with her, I'll personally kill her for you."
After saying that, the woman left without looking back.
Looking at the woman's back, Meng Liang's eyes flickered.
When Meng Ke returned to the house, Jiujiu was already asleep.
Looking at the dimmed lights in the room, Meng Ke returned to his bedroom.
Jiujiu had no relatives, and neither did Meng Ke. The two of them were like two lone wolves, huddled together.
Most people would watch the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year.
Jiujiu didn't like to watch movies, but Meng Ke didn't mind. The two of them found a random movie to watch.
The movie is the French version of Cinderella.
It tells the story of Cinderella falling in love with the prince at first sight with the fairy godmother's help. In the end, the two lovers get married.
At the end of the story, Cinderella's stepmother and three sisters who mistreated her got the punishment they deserved. Cinderella and the prince held a grand wedding, became the prince's princess, and lived happily together.
When he saw the prince and Cinderella dancing hand in hand in the middle of the dance floor, Meng Ke subconsciously looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's black eyes stared straight at the TV screen. Her eyes sparkled as if she was expecting something.
Meng Ke asked, "Do you like Cinderella very much?"
Jiujiu looked away and said, "I don't like it."
Meng Ke recalled Jiujiu's fascinated look when she was watching the movie and said with certainty, "I think you like it very much."
If she didn't like it, how could she be so fascinated by it for so long?
Jiujiu laughed and said in an indifferent tone, "I don't like Cinderella. If I can, I want to be a princess. If I can be high and mighty, why should I bow and bend my knees?"
Jiujiu looked sideways at Meng Ke and said meaningfully, "I don't think an ordinary woman will have a good end if she marries a high and mighty prince."
Perhaps in the beginning, the prince will give Cinderella warmth because of her beautiful appearance. But after a long time, when Cinderella gives birth to a child, her perfect face will have a little yellowish-brown color because of giving birth to a child, and her slender waist will no longer exist because of giving birth to a child. How can the prince, who is used to seeing beautiful women, continue to put his heart on Cinderella?
At that time, the prince will meet other beautiful girls, and then fall in love with that girl and want to spend the rest of his life with her.
At that time, Cinderella will become a vicious wife who obstructs true love.
Jiujiu's words were like a riddle that solved the doubts in Meng Ke's heart.
After he said that he wanted to fall in love with Jiujiu, Jiujiu's attitude towards him was very friendly, but also alienated.
Meng Ke had never understood why Jiujiu's attitude was so strange, but at this moment, he felt that he understood a little.
Jiujiu's identity and his identity were like the prince and Cinderella's.
What she was afraid of was probably the inequality brought about by the unequal identity.
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu's eyes attentively and said in a gentle voice, "I swear, I will be good to you."
Meng Ke's eyes were focused and full of warmth and tenderness, as if Jiujiu was his rare treasure.
"Meng Ke, you are very good. It's my fault. What I want most now is to make money and avenge my parents. I'm sorry."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she got up and quickly went into her room and never came out again.
Meng Ke looked at Jiujiu's door for a long time before he moved his gaze away.
Jiujiu's apology meant that she had fallen for him.
Jiujiu falling for him was what Meng Ke wanted the most.
Meng Ke felt that he would be able to kill Jiujiu in less than half a year.
The next day, when Jiujiu came out of the room, she saw Meng Ke kneeling on one knee on the ground.
Meng Ke was holding a black velvet box in his hand. There was a dazzling diamond ring in the box.
A diamond like a pigeon's egg could drive any woman crazy.
Jiujiu's face froze for a moment. She blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
Meng Ke looked up at Jiujiu and said lovingly, "Nanyuan, will you marry me? I swear, I will not let you down. I will be good to you for the rest of my life. Will you be my wife? "
Jiujiu's eyes flickered. After a long time, she choked out the words that Meng Ke had always wanted to hear, "I will."
Meng Ke stood up from the ground emotionally. He carefully put the diamond ring on Jiujiu's hand and kissed Jiujiu's red eyes.
The moment he kissed Jiujiu's eyelids, Meng Ke felt his heart soften for a moment.
However, this moment of softness was abandoned when he thought about why he wanted to get close to Jiujiu.
For the rest of the time, Jiujiu and Meng Ke were just like an ordinary couple. The two of them would watch TV together, go shopping hand in hand, and kiss under the moonlight. When they were in love, they would do things that all couples would do.
