C21 If She Doesn't Marry Me

My heart skipped a beat.

After quickly eating about 5% of the meal, I quickly and courteously got up to say goodbye and returned to my room upstairs to rest.

Although the atmosphere at the table seemed to be one of great joy for mother and son, and Mrs. Ou did not even trouble me, I still felt a sense of suffocation in the back-and-forth between two people with strong auras.

After getting off the plane, I had already slept for an entire afternoon. Although there was an excuse for me to rest in my room, I actually didn't feel sleepy at all.

He could only take out the travel magazines he had brought from the European Group and continue browsing in boredom.

I found the white beach of the seaside city.

"If I could give you a wedding like this, would you be willing?" The words that O'Jia Rui had promised me last night suddenly popped into my head, and I was so distracted that I started to revise the wedding plan for Ou Jingyi.

For reasons of selfishness, the wedding on the yacht was my fantasy about the wedding to Lin Qian, so I didn't want their wedding to be arranged on the yacht. The man I once loved had become someone else's husband, and Ou Jingyi had already stolen my love.

The wedding venue was temporarily set up in a church near the beach in the coastal city. After the ceremony, guests could go to the beach for a sunbath and a grand party could be held in the evening.

Just as I was finally able to calm down and busy myself with my work, there was a knock on the door.

A servant came in with a tray of milk, "Miss Zhou, you haven't had enough for dinner. Do you need me to make you something that's easy to digest?"

I smiled. "No, thank you."

Although the servant was polite, he didn't have to care so much about me.

By the time I had completely changed the plan, my eyes were dry and tired. After a simple wash, I fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up again, the time on his phone indicated that it was just past 12 o'clock.

When I got pregnant, I started eating a lot. I was woken up by the hunger in my stomach.

Thinking that it was already so late and that they had all gone to bed, I prepared to go downstairs to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of water to ease the aching in my stomach.

When he reached the stairs, he found that the lights in the living room were still on, and there was even a melodious dance music playing.

Ochira was dancing with his mother.

I stood at the foot of the stairs, wondering if I should go on.

"When are you going to send your wedding planner away? Do you think it's proper for a pregnant woman to live in the house of the golden bachelor Ou Jia Rui? Your dad doesn't know about this yet, so you should quickly settle it before I can cover for you." As Mrs. Ou finished her sentence, it was clear that it was no longer appropriate for me to continue on.

Somehow, instead of going straight to my room, I stopped at the foot of the stairs.

Ou Jia Rui obviously lowered her clear and bright voice. "Mom, why do you have to be so against a little girl? She didn't do anything wrong, it's just that Jingjing is always looking for trouble."

"You're still talking about Ou Jingyi, hmph!" I still don't understand why she's so prejudiced against a little girl with the same surname.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Suddenly, Ou Jia Rui spoke again. Hearing his words, I felt as though I had been struck by lightning.

"Mom, if I … if I wanted to marry Zhou Xinyao, would you be able to accept her?" I'm serious. " I could feel my heart beating like crazy, not sure if it was because I was nervous or because it was throbbing.

If what I said last night had been a deliberate tease from O'Jia Rui, I didn't believe that any normal adult would have said such a thing to their mother on such an occasion.

Realizing that his words might have been sincere, my first thought was to escape.

Madame Ou could no longer maintain her good manners. "What? Those noble ladies who want to marry you have lined up outside, and you actually want to marry a girl who isn't anything at all? Are you joking with your mother?"

"I'm serious." Ou Jia Rui said these five words very slowly, each word was very heavy.

Mrs. Ou went over to the CD player and turned off the music. She sat on the sofa and said, "Are you crazy? I definitely can't accept this. You'd better get her moved out as soon as possible. I'll be home with your dad when she leaves."

The usually gentle and refined Ou Jia Rui was also a bit unyielding this time. "Mom, you can stay here as long as you want. Do you want to bring my dad over? You'll know that this little girl is really nice after getting along with her for a long time. I'm not going to marry her anyway." O'Jia Rui sat on the sofa and handed his mother a glass of water.

"You unfilial son …"

I stopped listening to the conversation behind them and went back to my room.

It was a long time before I realized that my heart was beating not out of fear, not out of disbelief, but because my heart was beating fast, and there was even a hint of ecstasy that came after I got what I wanted.

In order to avoid further disgust, I specially woke up early in the morning. Madame Ou was already in the garden in her silk everyday clothes, having tea with O'Jia Rui.

I suspected that both of them had not slept at all. I had woken up early, but I was still behind them.

Ou Jia Rui first saw me. "You're up so early. In the afternoon, we'll go to the other places you chose. You should pack your luggage."

"Wasn't it already confirmed that it was in the church by the sea?" I didn't know what to do.

"Jingjing is still not satisfied, let's go investigate more." Ou Jia Rui lied calmly.

"Oh, okay. Good morning Auntie." I pretended I didn't know what I was hearing.

Madame Ou acted as if she didn't see me, no longer maintaining the poise and dignity she had at the beginning of the day.

I stood on the spot, a little embarrassed.

"Go and pack up. We'll go to the mall to buy some stuff and then head straight to the airport."

The moment I turned around, Madame Ou had already opened her mouth. "Humph! Don't think that you can solve the problem just by avoiding me. I will stay here and wait for your return."

My back clearly paused for a moment, but I left without looking back.

As the car was leaving for the airport, O'Jia Rui suddenly said to me, "My mother is just like that. My father has always respected her, so all these years her temperament has always been quite arrogant. But she has always been a cold person with a sharp tongue and a rotten heart. She seems cold, but she has no ill intentions towards anyone …"

I was a little upset, so I politely interrupted Ou Jia Rui: "You don't need to explain, auntie is an elder. She has her reasons for treating me like this, and besides, you don't need to explain it to me."

After enjoying the meticulous care and concern of O'Jia Rui for so long, I almost forgot that I don't have any status and always enjoy his care.

I couldn't even think of how, at this very moment, I had managed my own life and mine in such a state of disarray.

Ou Jia Rui nodded and didn't say anything else.

I knew perfectly well that when Ou Jia Rui had already chosen the field, she still insisted on taking me out to inspect it.

I wanted to avoid the firepower of Ojwin and his mother.

In my heart, I had already made the preparations to leave after this wedding period was over. Although people like Ou Jia Rui, regardless of appearance or family background, were all rare and excellent candidates, even their personality and character were one in a hundred. However, no matter what, we were still people from two different worlds.

Seemingly aware that my mood had become depressed because of his mother's arrival, Jia Rui had been thinking of ways to improve my mood during the journey to Central Europe.

He went to several cities to check out the wedding venue, but he never contacted the manager of the local wedding site. He only went shopping in the local tourist area.

Considering that I was pregnant, the places I would visit this time would be in some of the first-tier cities around A City. Xuan Zi could drive there.

During these days of inspection, I had deliberately distanced myself from Ojiari, minimizing the amount of time and opportunity I had to spend alone with him.

Many times, when Ocari asked me out for a walk after dinner, I thought I was tired and refused. He could clearly sense my attitude, but he had always been indulging me.

After wandering around the city for a week, my heart still couldn't calm down. Traveling was a joyful thing, but spending Ou Jia Rui's money to relax my mind was still difficult for me to calm down.

Occasionally, late at night or during lunch break, O'Jia Rui would tap on the computer to look at documents or hold an online meeting with the company's top brass, further burdening my mind.

Therefore, even if there were still a lot of unexplored areas, I insisted on returning to A City, even though there were still a lot of things I didn't want to face there.

It's just that I didn't expect that in order to let me leave, Ou Jingyi didn't even want her own image and status.

It was noon when he returned to the Ou Family residence.

O'Jia Rui, I, Mrs Ou, and Ou Jingyi had an extremely awkward lunch together.

The four of them had quite a few opinions about each other, so even though they were very close, they didn't have much interaction with each other. The awkwardness was only the beginning of the nightmare that I would have to face when I returned to A City.

Ou Jingyi's phone suddenly rang. It was as if she had been looking forward to it for a long time. Ou Jingyi immediately jumped up from her chair and ran to the sofa in the living room to pick up her phone without saying anything to anyone.

Ou Jia Rui's mother glared at her in dissatisfaction, but did not say anything.

"Hey, it's you guys. Why did you come to the Ou Family? That's inappropriate, right? What? Are you already at the door?" Ou Jingyi pretended to be surprised as she made a call.

However, none of us heard what the person on the other end of the phone said, "Didn't you say that Zhou Xinyao had our darling grandson in her womb for us to come here?"

"Who wants to come home?"

The moment "Lin Qian's parents" fell from the mouth of Ou Jingyi, I accidentally bit my tongue.
