Yearning
Twilight was quietly approaching. The neon lights on both sides of the street flickered non-stop, bringing the prosperity of the night.
Heidi drove Ximen Lang to the entrance of the bank in the police car. She said goodbye to him reluctantly before driving away. Ximen Lang took his motorcycle and headed to Qilisha's house.
Sitting in the living room of the apartment were Isabel, Melissa, and Ximen Lang.
Ximen Lang took out the property ownership certificate and IOU from his bag and placed them on the coffee table. He pushed them forward and said,""Auntie, Qilisa, I've already paid off the debt from Dongshuo Finance. They also promised that they won't come and find trouble with you again.”
Both mother and son looked happy. Isabel picked up the title deed and looked at it lovingly. This was the most important asset for her and her daughter. Now that she had lost it and found it again, how could she not be happy? In her excitement, tears started to appear in the corner of her eyes." Ximen, thank you so much. I…I don't know what to say."”
Cherisa looked at him with tender eyes. She was secretly glad that she had met such an excellent boyfriend who stood up for her like a hero when her family was in danger.
Ximen Lang quickly said," Auntie, you don't have to do this. I'm Qilisha's boyfriend. How can I sit back and do nothing when something like this happened to you? This is what I should do. Just destroy your IOU." Oh right, and this is a gift from me. Please accept it.”
He took out a deposit slip from his bag and pushed it over.
"What is this?" Cherry picked it up and looked at it curiously. She couldn't help but exclaim," That's a lot of money! So many zeros! That's 300,000 yuan!"”
Isabel looked over and saw that it was indeed a deposit slip of 300,000 dollars. She was also very surprised. Where did this child get so much money, and he actually gave it to us?
She quickly took the deposit slip from her daughter's hand and carefully placed it on the coffee table. She pushed it back and said,"Ximen, I can't accept this money. We're already very grateful that you helped us pay off our debts and keep our house.”
"Yeah, Simon, take back the deposit slip. Mom and I won't take it."”
Ximen Lang pushed the deposit slip back and said sincerely,""Auntie, listen to me. I don't mean anything by giving you this money. I really just want to help you. She is currently studying in middle school, and she will go to high school and university in the future. There are many things that she needs money for. This money can probably cover the expenses for her studies in the future. So, please accept it no matter what.”
Isabel knew that the boy was telling the truth. She needed a lot of money to go to school, and it was too much for her family, who was on welfare. This money was like sending charcoal in the snow, and it solved this problem. She thought about it again and again and did not refuse. She said gratefully,"Alright then. I'll take the money with me to pay for her school fees. Thank you so much.”
Seeing that his girlfriend's mother had finally accepted the deposit slip, Ximen Lang heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally given away the money!
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. As long as I'm here, I won't let you and your daughter suffer.”In an instant, the sixteen-year-old boy's tone became much more mature, like a man with a sense of responsibility for his family.
Ximen Lang suddenly remembered that he hadn't had dinner yet. He patted his head and said self-deprecatingly,""I was so busy today that I forgot to eat dinner. Let's buy some food and let Auntie show off her cooking skills. I love her cooking.”
" Sure," said Cherry with a smile." Actually, Mom and I were busy cleaning the windows and cleaning the house. We haven't had dinner yet. Let's go."”She walked over and held her boyfriend's arm affectionately as they walked out.
Isabel was the only one left in the room. She picked up the IOU and lit it with a lighter. She threw it into the ashtray and watched the note burn until it turned into ashes. She felt relieved. Looking at the property ownership certificate and deposit receipt on the coffee table, she thought to herself, This boy is really not bad. It's rare to see him now. Maybe he's our benefactor!
Isabel stood up, carefully put away the certificate and deposit slip, and went into the kitchen to prepare. Not long after, the two children finished shopping and walked in with a lot of things in their hands.
"Mom, we bought a lot of food. It's all our favorite food that we haven't eaten for a long time. There's steak, smoked meat, salmon, and so on."”
Seeing the food piled up on the kitchen table, Isabel smiled and said,""Why did you buy so much? Did you move all the food counters from the supermarket to your house?”
Cherry opened the bag and took out the items one by one."West Gate said to store all the food that we can't eat in the fridge for now. Oh right, he also bought two bottles of red wine. Mom, can I help you prepare dinner too?”
" No need," Isabel quickly said." You should go and accompany Ximen. I'll prepare myself."”
Ximen Lang helped Keelisa to take out the things and said,""Auntie, why don't I help you prepare dinner too? Wouldn't it be faster if everyone worked together?”
"That would be embarrassing."
With a bright smile on her face, she said,""Mom, you don't know, but Ximen loves to work. He never likes to be idle, right?”Her bright eyes flashed mischievously as she looked over.
Ximen Lang quickly said," That's right. I love working. I can't stand not working for a while."”However, his gaze was fixed on his girlfriend's curvaceous and tall figure. He thought to himself, I love working on you the most. I work hard, but you always don't let me. How depressing!
" Is that so?" Isabel said with a smile." That's a good habit. When you get married and start a family, your wife will be very lucky."”As she spoke, she looked at her beautiful daughter.
Ximen Langxi said with a smile,"Of course, I will make her very happy.”He couldn't help but look at her. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He thought,'This girl is really good. Not only is she pretty, but she's also innocent, kind, and sensible. She's a good candidate to be my wife. If we get married and have children in the future, will the children have black eyes or green eyes?'
Of course, Young Master Ximen never had the concept of monogamy in his heart. He came from the Hegnan Empire, which allowed polygamy. His father, Zhang Xiaofeng, was the king, and he had married sixteen wives as his queen. Therefore, his goal was to surpass his father in the future and marry more wives!
Sensing their gazes, Cherry blushed and pouted."His wife is blessed. What does it have to do with me? Why are you all looking at me?”
Ximen Lang said shamelessly," With such a good opportunity, aren't you tempted? You'll be my wife in the future, a little woman with a happy smile on her face all day long."”
Cherry's face became even redder, as if she was covered with a big red cloth. She stomped her feet and said,"Annoying, who wants to be your wife? Aren't you ashamed? You're already thinking about getting married at such a young age?”
"I think Simon's words make sense." Isabel smiled."If you're really willing to marry him in the future, I won't have any objections."”
" Aiya, Mom, why are you saying that? I'm so embarrassed…" Qilisha was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to see anyone. She lowered her head and glanced at her lover, only to see him smirking smugly. She couldn't help but stretch out her small hand and twist his waist. She said hatefully,"You still dare to snicker? No, I have to punish you. Hurry up and wash the vegetables?”
Ximen Lang deliberately put on a bitter face and said," We're not even married yet, and you're already so powerful. You're always punishing me. I have to consider whether you're a qualified wife. If not, let's get someone else."”
"You dare?" Cherry raised her little fist high up in the air, looking threatening.
However, her childish look made the other two people laugh. After a while, she immediately realized why her mother and lover were laughing. "I'm not coming anymore. You guys ganged up to bully me…" she said angrily.
Ximen Lang sighed as he washed the vegetables,""This world is really black and white. Just now, someone was shouting at me to wash the vegetables, and now she's slandering others for bullying her. Sigh, where can we get justice?”
"Women are unreasonable animals. So, you men have to give in to us, right?" Isabel smiled.”
Ximen Lang immediately expressed his stance in front of his future mother-in-law." That's for sure.”However, he thought to himself, Women are all unreasonable, so we men have to give in to you. It's not bad to let you have a good time. I like this job the most!
