Chapter 359: Chapter 359: I’m Willing_1
"In three days, at eight o’clock in the evening, meet me at XX Bay. I have something important to tell you. Don’t be late! Otherwise..."
She wanted to say, "Otherwise, you’re dead," but she thought about it, the word ’dead’ is not auspicious. How can she talk about death when a marriage is impending!
"Hmph, otherwise you are not allowed to wear underwear at night."
Ye Lu’s face turned red, extremely embarrassed.
What the hell is this man saying? They are on the street, doesn’t he see the weird looks from the people around them? How mortifying, she wished she could find a hole and hide in it.
"Understood." She gritted her teeth.
Good, she also has something important to clear out with him!
...
The next day, Ye Lu went to Gu Yan’s ward.
Gu Yan handed her a box, with a faint smile.
"Open it and have a look."
Ye Lu curiously opened it, inside was an antique box with a very exotic style. She was taken aback, this box looked familiar.
Her heart trembled slightly.
She gently opened the small box, and upon seeing what was inside, her breath suddenly ceased.
It was a simple ring, silver in color, inlaid with a square diamond.
"This is..." She suddenly raised her head, her voice trembling.
Gu Yan smiled, "The first diamond engagement ring, it belonged to Maximilian, the Archduke of Austria in the sixteenth century, a gift to his bride, Mary of Burgundy. It’s also the engagement ring I bought from collectors all over Europe back then, just to give to you!"
Ye Lu trembled, tears almost falling.
Yes, this ring, she remembered it too vividly.
Because, it was once worn on her hand, the ring with many beautiful memories.
"Now, the item returns to its original owner, my promise is still valid, are you willing to wear it again?" Gu Yan sincerely asked her.
Ye Lu’s eyes were moist, she could feel the burning passion of her girlhood years flame up again.
"Of course, I’m willing." She said, reaching out her hand with a smile.
Forsaking everything else, she was going to seize this happiness. She had never been so stubborn, ready to pay any price.
Upon leaving his ward, she went back to her mother’s room.
Ye Lu called Feng Aoxue, told her that she had decided to get married, to the man from her past.
Feng Aoxue was stunned, asking her if she was serious.
She said yes.
"I don’t really know much about your past, but do you think a shattered mirror can be the same as it was? Not only are there seven years between the two of you, but also a child, and all the experiences and changes of these seven years.
Do you think you’re still the same as before? If not, can you go back to how things were?"
Ye Lu was taken aback, then countered, "No matter how much has changed, I believe our feelings have always remained the same. He accepts my past, and I don’t care about the views of the world. I just want to pursue my own happiness, what’s wrong with that, I want this happiness."
Her tone was filled with stubbornness, her voice even quivering with excitement.
"Lu, I’ve always thought of you as a very pragmatic person, but now, you seem irrational. There’s a saying that what you can’t have is always the best. Are you persevering because you still love him, or because you didn’t get him in the beginning, so you’re desperately trying to fill in for that regret.
I feel like you’re more after a sensation, the sensation of the first innocent love, because it was too beautiful, you couldn’t let go, ardently longing for it. But even if you do get married, you might not be able to find that sensation again, because it’s all in the past."
Ye Lu’s face turned pale, felt like someone stabbed her in the chest.
Because she understood what Feng Aoxue was saying.
