Yin Xiche carried me all the way home. At this time, Dad was already standing at the door. After seeing my father, I unwillingly got down from Yin Xiche's back. Yin Xiche looked at me and smiled gently. Then, without avoiding my father at the door, he kissed me gently on the forehead.
"Be careful!" At this moment, when I was facing Yin Xiche, no matter how much I said, I could only condense these three words.
Yin Xiche nodded and replied," Okay." Then, he turned around and strode away without looking back.
As I watched Yin Xiche's back gradually being swallowed by the darkness, my nose couldn't help but feel sour. I licked my lips and a hint of saltiness entered my mouth. Is this the taste of tears?
"Come in!" His father said calmly.
I took a deep breath, collected my emotions, and walked into the house.
"Why did you call me back in such a hurry?" I leaned against the sofa and asked coldly.
Dad didn't say anything. He just asked Aunt Julia to prepare a cup of tea for me. Then, he walked to sit opposite me. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"The Yin family is here today!"
I picked up the tea Aunt Julia had just served and took a sip." Is it about my marriage with Yin Xifeng?”
" Yes, your wedding date was postponed because of your injury. Now that you're discharged from the hospital, the injury on your leg is almost healed, so--" Dad lowered his head slightly and didn't look at me.
"They're very well-informed. I just came back from the hospital today and they chased me to my house.”At this point, I looked meaningfully at my expressionless father.
Dad ignored my doubtful words and continued,"In order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from happening again, we have discussed for a while. We will hold an engagement ceremony for you at the end of this month.”
My hand that was holding the teacup was slightly startled. The end of this month? Calculating the time, it was only about a week. I quickly put down the teacup in my hand, and some of the tea in it fell onto the coffee table. The thing I can't stand the most is letting others do whatever they want to me. Now, are they acting first before reporting?
"My dear father, I want to ask you, why are you in such a hurry to sell your daughter?”
As the light reflected off Dad's glasses, I couldn't see his expression clearly. However, his tone was surprisingly calm." I don't have to sell my daughter. As for why I'm in such a hurry to marry into the Yin family, you'll understand in the future. Everything I do is for your own good!”
"For my own good? You keep saying that it's for my own good, but I'm not living well now! To prevent any unforeseen circumstances from affecting the engagement ceremony? Well, what if the change happened to me? Would an early ceremony stop all of this from happening?”I sneered.
After hearing my words, Dad's body trembled. He suddenly raised his head and looked at me." What do you want to do?”
I shrugged, indicating that I didn't know what I would do.
"Listen, you'd better not mess around. The future of the orphanage is in your hands!”Dad said with a gloomy face.
"Are you tired of threatening me with the orphanage again? The future of the orphanage? The orphanage is doing very well now. Don't always use the orphanage to threaten me. I don't care!" I sneered as I looked at my father, who was blushing with anger.
His father slapped the coffee table in front of him." Do you think I don't dare?”
I clapped my hands." You dare, of course you dare." Is there anything in this world that you, Qin Yongxian, don't dare to do? If he could even abandon his wife and daughter, what else would he not dare to do?”
"Pa!" Dad slapped me hard, and the right side of my face was also slapped hard. However, I didn't show any signs of repentance. I continued,"Pushing your own daughter onto the road is also something you, Qin Yongxian, would do! "Enough! Don't think that you don't need to get engaged to Yin Xifeng just because you said all this. Let me tell you, you don't just have the orphanage on your shoulders, you also have Yin Xiche, whom you love so much. I think you should know about his background, right? Do you think Yin Yanghua will let an adopted son go so easily when he steals his own son's fiancée?”Dad roared, and my heart turned cold.
Why did this matter involve Yin Xiche? Why? Why? I kept shouting in my heart. Now that this weakness was in my father's hands, how could I resist his decision in the future?
"What's wrong? Have you thought it through? If you don't want to harm Yin Xiche, you'd better weigh the severity of the matter yourself.”
I leaned against the sofa softly. How could I not know which was more important? I closed my eyes, and in my mind was Yin Xiche's peach blossom eyes and his gentle smile…
"I know!" I said hoarsely.
Dad looked at me with satisfaction." There's still more than a week. I'll go prepare for the engagement ceremony. You just have to go to school every day. Don't cause trouble for me in school again. I can't afford to lose this person!”
"I know!" I replied weakly.
"This matter ends here. As for the distance between you and Yin Xiche, you should grasp it well. Don't ruin your reputation before you're even engaged. It's enough to hear such words once!”
"I don't want to hold an engagement ceremony!"
"Haven't you thought it through?" Hearing my words, Dad was a little anxious. His anger was about to soar again.
I pursed my lips." The engagement ceremony is just a formality. You can just go to the Yin family and get the engagement ring. I'll wear it every day in the future!”
His father pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and pondered for a moment." Sure, I'll do it. However, even though there won't be a ceremony, the news of his engagement as the eldest son of Tongyuan Corporation will still be published in the media, so you'd better not play any tricks on me!”
I rubbed my hair and said impatiently,"What tricks can I play? Yin Xiche is still in your hands!”
After listening to my words, Dad didn't say anything. After a few words of advice, he turned around and went back to his room. I was left alone on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
Before I went home, I was still happy for my little happiness. Now, everything was back to square one. Was it because Cinderella's 12 o'clock had arrived? Cinderella is finally leaving her prince. But, my prince, Yin Xiche, will you be like the prince in the fairy tale, looking for me and rescuing me from my misery?
