Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 36

Chapter 36

“That was when I was young. Is there anything to compare it to now?” “How can it be compared? When you were in high school, you used to take off my sweater and put it on yourself.” “Lu An, you’re too petty. Do you have to remember such a small matter until now?” “What’s wrong? You’re the only one who can do it, and no one is allowed to remember it. You’ve let me down in many ways.” “How have I let you down?” “You secretly changed your ambition and started a relations.h.i.+p behind my back. I only found out about your engagement when I saw it. Jin Nian, you’re the one who doesn’t want to be friends with me, right?”

Jin Nian instantly lost her fighting spirit, like a hen whose feathers had been plucked. In fact, she could have blamed Lu An for keeping her in the dark about his plans to go abroad. However, she knew that everything started with her own mistakes, so how could she refute him? In the end, Jin Nian apologized to him. “It was my fault. I’m sorry, okay?” The Ferris wheel landed steadily. Lu An didn’t even spare her a glance as he pushed the door open and left.

Jin Nian chased after him. She had to jog to catch up with him. “Come on, you were the one who bit me like a little mad dog. How can you throw a tantrum?” Lu An stopped, and Jin Nian almost b.u.mped into his back. He turned around and looked at her deeply. “Which eye of yours saw me throwing a tantrum?” “If you’re not throwing a tantrum, why are you walking so fast in front?” “I can’t be bothered with you.” “Isn’t this throwing a tantrum?” “Then why don’t you want to talk to me?”

“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself and bite you again.” Jin Nian raised her fist and punched his arm. “You’re really a dog, aren’t you? Why do you bite people so easily?” “You provoked me first.” “Who provoked you!” The two of them spoke one after another, neither giving in to the other. Jin Nian had forgotten about Lu An’s kiss in mid-air. It was just an accident, she told herself.

Under the dim streetlights, Jin Nian didn’t notice that the usually arrogant Young Master Lu had turned red from his neck to his ears. However, she did see the sin she had committed on Lu An’s lips. She had bitten through the skin of Lu An’s lower lip, and it seemed to be bleeding a little. Lu An’s lips had always been rosy and s.h.i.+ny. In addition, he was originally fair. At a glance, he looked like a little girl who had put on transparent lip gloss. However, Jin Nian knew that this person’s lips had been the same color since he was young. When she was ignorant, Jin Nian even said that Lu An’s lips were like a delicate cherry, making people want to take a bite.

She had only said it casually. Who knew that she would accidentally kiss Lu An’s lips when they were playing in the escape room? At that time, it was pitch black around them with no light at all. Suddenly, she was patted on the shoulder by a cold hand from behind. She was so scared that she ran away, and kissing Lu An was purely an accident. However, Lu An persisted and would often threaten her by saying, “Jin Nian, hurry up and return my first kiss to me!” Who was she going to reason with? After all, it wasn’t just his first kiss, it was also Jin Nian’s first kiss!

Rather than returning to the hotel, Jin Nian asked Lu An to send her home. Avoiding the problem was not a solution. In the evening, Tan Siyun had sent her a message asking her to go home after sobering up and to deal with her relatives first. Jin Nian pretended not to have seen it and did not reply. After the sudden surprise and the quarrel between the two of them, Jin Nian’s mood felt like she had just gone on a roller coaster ride, rapidly falling from a great height and landing on the ground. She stared at her phone in a daze and remained silent.

She had to face the trouble she had caused. When she arrived home, Jin Nian unlocked her phone and dialed Ms. Tan’s number. “Mom…” Tan Siyun didn’t scold her, but instead asked gently, “Does your head still hurt?” “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” “Are you still with Lu An?” “I’m going back to my own house.” “Yes, it’s good to go home. I wanted to tell you to go home quickly after you sober up. Don’t always trouble others.”

Jin Nian’s nose was sore. She seemed to have troubled Lu An a lot in the past ten years. Lu An always looked like he wanted to punch her, but he had never rejected her when she needed help. Just ten minutes ago, Lu An had parked the car downstairs and said with a cold expression, “Jin Nian, just say if you need help, I will take care of you no matter where you are. If you still consider me as your best friend, contact me directly if you need anything. Don’t be bullied like a fool and embarra.s.s me.” After he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and left.

Honestly, having a friend like Lu An to support her felt really great. “I’m coming over to your place tomorrow,” Tan Siyun said. “Bye. Sleep early,” Jin Nian replied, feeling surprised. “Mom…” “Is there anything else?” “Why aren’t you angry with me for causing such a huge mess?”

Earlier that day, before Jin Nian got completely drunk in the private room, she had heard the relatives around her complaining that she had made a such mess and she did not care about the overall situation. Jin Nian had thought that Tan Siyun would scold her, but she hadn’t expected her mother to be even calmer than she was.
