Aunt Li raised her hand to wipe her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, Sir, if I can survive, I will repay your great kindness even if I have to be a cow or a horse."
Jiujiu did not refute Auntie Li's gratitude.
Jiujiu smiled and said, "Auntie Li, when you recover, you can continue to teach me how to cook."
Jiujiu's words instantly evoked Auntie Li's beautiful memories from before. Auntie Li wiped her cheeks and said with a smile, "Yes, when I recover, I'll continue to teach you how to cook good food."
Auntie Li's words made Jiujiu smile. The atmosphere in the house suddenly became cheerful.
Jiujiu chatted with Auntie Li for a while and discussed with Ye Song about Auntie Li's follow-up treatment. Then, she left Auntie Li's house.
Jiujiu got into the car and Ye Song started the car again. But this time, the tense atmosphere was much less tense.
Ye Song was paying for Auntie Li's treatment.
Even if Ye Song did not lack money, or that money was nothing to him, Jiujiu already owed Ye Song a favor.
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at her intertwined fingers. It was as if she could see her conflicted heart.
Her perseverance for so long had collapsed because of Auntie Li.
She could no longer draw a line between Ye Song and her.
When they were about to reach the school, Jiujiu could not help but say, "Thank you."
Ye Song looked sideways at Jiujiu. "You're welcome."
"I will pay you back for Auntie Li's treatment in the future."
"No need." Ye Song turned the steering wheel and stopped the car by the roadside. He stared at Jiujiu like a beast. "Do you have to draw a line between us like this?"
"I owe you too much. I don't want to owe you anything anymore."
"You don't have to worry about it when you have too much debt. What's the harm in having more?"
"Ye Song, you know what I mean."
"I don't know." Ye Song sneered. "Nan Xiao, do you think that now that you've grown up and can fly, you want to cut ties with me and fly away with Zhou Chen?"
"What does it have to do with Zhou Chen?"
"Then why are you so anxious to cut ties with me?"
"I just …"
"Nan Xiao, my patience is limited. I can make an exception for you once, but I won't do it forever." Ye Song looked into Jiujiu's eyes. "I was wrong before, but I've already given in. Don't go too far, okay?"
"Ha ~" Jiujiu smiled and the guilt on her face disappeared. She looked into Ye Song's eyes and said, "To think that I thought you had changed. It seems like you haven't changed at all."
"Ye Song, you saved my life. I will never be able to repay this debt of gratitude in this lifetime. However, this is not a bargaining chip for you to make those demands.
I'm very grateful that you saved my life, but I can't marry you just because you saved me. "
"You'll get married sooner or later. Instead of marrying a man who you don't know what the future holds, why can't you marry me?"
Jiujiu sighed. After a moment of silence, she looked into Ye Song's eyes and asked, "Ye Song, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"Do you like me?"
When he heard Jiujiu ask if he liked her, Ye Song was obviously stunned. After a long time, he said slowly, "So what if I like you, and so what if I don't like you?"
"You don't like me, but you want me to marry you. Don't you think it's contradictory?"
"Marriage is a lifetime event. I hope that in the future, we will get married because we like each other. I don't want to marry you just because you want to marry me.
What's the difference between this and an arranged marriage? "
Ye Song did not answer Jiujiu's question directly. He started the car directly.
After parking the car in front of the girls' dormitory, Ye Song turned to look at Jiujiu. "I'll give you a week to consider. Come back to me or give up on Aunt Li."
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Yes." Ye Song admitted it straightforwardly. "I did it on purpose, but you fell for it."
Ye Song really thought that Jiujiu cared about Aunt Li, so he directly pinched Jiujiu's weak spot and pressed it to death.
Unless Jiujiu really did not care about Aunt Li, she only had one choice.
Jiujiu unfastened her seat belt and sneered. "I don't need seven days to give you an answer. I'll come back to you."
"Okay, remember to call me at night."
"Okay, bye."
Jiujiu opened the car door. Just as Jiujiu was about to close the door, she heard Ye Song say, "I moved the company here. It's half an hour's drive from your school. You have to come to my place on weekends."
Jiujiu's body stiffened. She nodded and quickly walked into the dormitory building.
After Ye Song said what he needed to let Jiujiu know, he directly drove away.
After Jiujiu returned to the dormitory, Sean immediately came up to her. "How's it going with that handsome Ferrari guy?"
"Nothing." Jiujiu rubbed her hair impatiently and turned to walk to the bathroom.
After seeing Jiujiu's appearance, Sean, who was full of curiosity, knew that Jiujiu would probably not tell him, so he did not continue to ask.
Because of Aunt Li's illness, Jiujiu could only continue to date Ye Song.
However, Ye Song's definition of dating was different from that of normal people.
Jiujiu only needed to call him for a while every night, so it was not much of a hindrance.
However, every Friday after school, Ye Song would ask his assistant to pick up Jiujiu from school.
Sometimes, the assistant would send Jiujiu to the apartment. Sometimes, he would go directly to the company and wait for Ye Song to get off work and have dinner together.
Occasionally, when Ye Song was in the mood, he would go shopping and watch movies with Jiujiu.
Other than Jiujiu's vigilance at the beginning, the way the two of them interacted with each other was quite like a couple.
The two of them spent time together from autumn until the end of the semester.
During the month of the final exam, Ye Song did not force Jiujiu to go to his place. However, after the final exam, he immediately took Jiujiu away.
Naturally, they spent the winter break at Ye Song's place.
The good news was that Aunt Li's cancer cells had been controlled after chemotherapy. As long as the treatment continued, there was a high possibility that she would be cured.
Naturally, they spent New Year's Eve at Ye Song's place.
Ye Song's assistant booked a table for New Year's Eve dinner at the hotel. Jiujiu and Ye Song sat at the table, eating and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
After dinner, Jiujiu poured all the leftovers into the trash can, preparing to throw them downstairs tomorrow.
After cleaning up the dining room, just as Jiujiu was about to go back to the room to sleep, Ye Song patted the seat next to him on the sofa and said, "Let's talk."
Jiujiu stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Ye Song and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Tell me what you think of me now." Ye Song's dark eyes stared straight at Jiujiu. "I'm very curious. What do you think of me now?"
"Not really." Jiujiu lowered her eyes to hide the thoughts in her eyes. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Butler He said that if I want to marry you, I have to change the way we get along." Ye Song's lips curved into an extremely gentle smile. "Nan Xiao, I really want to marry you."
