Chapter 511: Twelve Years
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was almost dinner time when Ji Yinbing came out of the laboratory.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Angus sitting on the sofa. Ji Yinbing knew that she had seen Angus before on television, but this was the first time she had seen him in person.
She thought about the diary she had accidentally seen in Mother Yan’s study three years ago. When she looked at Angus again, Ji Yinbing couldn’t help but sympathize with him.
“Mr. Angus.” Ji Yinbing nodded at him.
Angus smiled elegantly and charmingly. He was indeed the most precious gem God had given to humans. Even Ji Yinbing found his smile beautiful. Angus nodded and said something that made Ji Yinbing embarrassed. He said, “Bing Bing, right? My son, Yan Nuo… I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”
Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing lowered their heads at the same time.
Then, Ji Yinbing and Yan Nuo spoke at the same time.
Yan Nuo said to Ji Yinbing, “I have to count on you then.”
Ji Yinbing said to Angus, “You’re exaggerating.”
With that, the two of them looked at each other.
One looked away, while the other looked deeply.
Yan Nuo was in a bad mood. He had been rejected by Ji Yinbing again.
Everyone also noticed the strange atmosphere between them, but they were smart enough to pretend not to see it. After dinner, Yan Yu and Sha Zelong went to the backyard to take a walk to digest their food. Angus disguised himself and ran out to shop. Ji Yinbing and Yan Nuo sat in the house for a while.
The atmosphere in the room was really silent.
Yan Nuo suggested, “Shall we take a walk?”
Ji Yinbing agreed.
She was wearing a white down jacket and a cap. Even so, it could not cover her white hair. Yan Nuo’s heart ached when he saw her exposed hair. He touched Ji Yinbing’s white hair with a deep gaze.
Ji Yinbing saw his gaze and said, “Why don’t I dye my hair?”
Yan Nuo objected subconsciously. “No, it looks good like this too.”
This was how he could constantly remind him how good this woman was and how much she was worth cherishing.
The two of them walked out side by side. Just as they walked out of the manor, Yan Nuo suddenly said, “We’ve never strolled along the streets hand in hand, have we?”
Ji Yinbing thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed so.
Yan Nuo remained silent and reached out his hand.
That hand was wide and his knuckles were long, just enough to hold her hand. Ji Yinbing hesitated for a moment before putting her hand on it. Yan Nuo suddenly retracted his hand and held her entire hand in his palm. Ji Yinbing’s hand was not small. Her fingers were considered long among girls.
However, when Yan Nuo held it in his palm, it felt petite.
The two of them had been in love for more than ten years, but this was the first time they were holding hands on the streets. They actually felt uncomfortable, especially Yan Nuo. He had never been someone who was good at publicizing his love and friendship. Holding hands like this on the streets would make him nervous.
Ji Yinbing was not any better than him.
Down the street were all kinds of strangers. In a foreign country, the two of them forgot the difference in status and snuggled up to each other like all ordinary couples.
After walking for a distance, Yan Nuo suddenly said, “Let’s go buy a house tomorrow.”
“Huh?” Ji Yinbing removed her head from Yan Nuo’s shoulder. She stood up straight and looked up at Yan Nuo. “Why are you suddenly buying a house?”
“You like it here,” Yan Nuo said. “We have to settle down here in the future.”
Home…
Ji Yinbing saw Yan Nuo’s hand reach into the pocket on his chest.
He took out the brocade sachet and took out a simple golden ring.
Yan Nuo hesitated for a moment before slowly kneeling down in front of Ji Yinbing.
Ji Yinbing looked at his knees and was extremely moved.
India valued men over women. The men in that country would never bow down to women. In families, women’s statuses were low, and men’s statuses were high and mighty. In India, when aristocrats married the poor, they would be despised and despised by other aristocrats of the same status.
However, Yan Nuo not only wanted to marry her, he even proposed to her on his knees.
To other women, proposals might not lack gorgeous roses, diamond rings, and novel confession ideas. But to Ji Yinbing, just this kneeling action alone had moved her.
However, she did not stop Yan Nuo.
She was an educated woman, and she deeply understood that their characters were equal.
No woman should be inferior to a man.
Yan Nuo was very stupid. He moved his lips for a long time before saying, “Bing Bing, I… I want to marry you.”
Ji Yinbing was stunned.
A mischievous smile appeared on her cold face. “What did you say? The wind was so strong that I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Yan Nuo knew that she was playing with him.
He could only say it again, “I said, I want to marry you.” After saying that, seeing Ji Yinbing’s smile gradually disappear, Yan Nuo started to feel uncertain. When he spoke again, his words were intermittent. “Y-You promise to marry me?”
Ji Yinbing looked serious as she said, “Yan Nuo, I’ve waited for this day for twelve years.”
Twelve years…
So they had been in love for twelve years. Yan Nuo looked at Ji Yinbing’s mature and beautiful face. In his mind, he recalled the first time he met Ji Yinbing. She was pitiful and small…
India was a strange country. Here, the poor were so poor that they sold their daughters, and the rich were so rich that they could rival countries..
Yan Nuo was studying at a noble school, and he had only interacted with classmates of the same status. Although he knew that there were poor people in this world, he was still the type who did not know the hardships they faced. There were famous schools near his school, and those who could enter these schools had good family backgrounds.
Amongst this group of people, Yan Nuo’s status was still top-notch.
On this day, he finished playing ball with a group of friends.
He washed his hands and returned to class. On the way back to the school building, he heard a classmate say, “That girl is here again. She’s dressed in rags. What right does she have to ask for help?”
Another person said, “She’s someone untouchable, a lowly commoner!” A lowly commoner was not even someone from the four major clans.
The caste system was a system that was not abolished even when Country Y ruled this country.
This system was already deeply rooted in the hearts of every noble.
Yan Nuo heard them talking about this again and asked, “What girl?” He had vaguely heard it a few times these few days.
Yan Nuo had never been a talkative person since he was young. Everyone respected him not only because of his status, but also because of his excellence. Upon hearing this, someone said, “There’s a lowly commoner outside our school who has been looking for our help these few days.”
“Help?”
“Yes, she even looked for me.” The person imitated the little girl’s tone and expression when she spoke and said, “Can you do me a favor? I want you to invest in me. I won’t spend a lot of money. You only need to invest in me until I graduate from university. When I graduate and find a job, I’ll repay you.”
After saying that, the person laughed especially loudly.. “She’s a lowly commoner. Where did she get her guts from?”
