126: Chapter 126 Lin Xinwan Doesn't Want to Get Married
"Go tell them that the food can be served in Private Room No. 6."
"Okay."
After the Waiter left, Lin Xinwan pulled Xu Wei to sit beside her and said reluctantly,
"We just met and now we're parting again. Thinking back, childhood was much happier; we could be together whenever we wanted."
"Do you remember when we were kids? That winter it snowed, we built two snowmen holding hands. We even made a vow back then, wanting to grow up fast and never be apart."
"Thinking about it now, it's really laughable. That wish was already fulfilled when we were little."
Hearing this, although many years had passed, Xu Wei still remembered that experience in the snow clearly.
She couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, when we were young, we wanted to grow up, but we didn't know that the happiest time in life is childhood."
Li Luo cut in with a smile.
"Instead of reminiscing about childhood, it's more important to live well in the present. After all, we can't go back to our childhood, but you can use your means to change the present."
Lin Xinwan was slightly taken aback after hearing this.
"Young Master Li is right, the future can be changed. It seems I can't just idle away my days in my hometown anymore; it's time to go out and make a name for myself."
She turned to Xu Wei and said with a smile,
"Once I've made some money, I'll buy a house near yours. In the future, when you and Young Master Li have children, I'll help you look after them."
Xu Wei was stunned and looked at her with disbelief.
"Xinwan, what's wrong? Did something happen? Tell me."
"Nothing happened! I just don't plan on getting married in this lifetime, that's all."
Li Luo listened thoughtfully. When he went to buy a house for Xu Wei last time, he had curiously checked the Girl's information.
He knew she wasn't at the maximum bar. Now hearing the Girl say she didn't want to get married, he wondered if it was as he guessed—that she had been hurt too deeply by her Ex-boyfriend.
Xu Wei was still asking anxiously,
"Xinwan, what nonsense are you talking? You're only twenty-four, there's still a long road ahead of you, you..."
"Alright, alright, Weiwei."
Before her childhood friend could finish, Lin Xinwan interrupted,
"It's not as serious as you think. I just feel that living alone is very comfortable. I had a boyfriend before, and it was indeed happy at the start, but after a while, we'd argue over all sorts of big and small things. It just felt exhausting."
Xu Wei was somewhat skeptical after hearing this.
"Is that really it?"
Lin Xinwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It really is. Maybe my thoughts will change again after a while, who knows."
Li Luo didn't expect that he had actually guessed wrong. After all that, this Girl's situation was the same as his previous breakup.
It was the same when Li Luo was dating Shen Lin; his heart was really tired.
He had to consider this and that; sometimes he spent money and didn't even get any appreciation for it.
Seeing this, Xu Wei gave her childhood friend a light smack in annoyance.
"You really scared me just now. I thought something happened to you, suddenly saying you'd buy a house next to me and help me with the kids."
"Besides, is it really necessary? It was just one relationship. It's not like there are no good men left in the world. Maybe you'll find a good man who will cherish you in the future."
"Maybe! Anyway, I don't want to get married for now. As for what happens later, we'll see."
Speaking of marriage, Lin Xinwan asked curiously,
"When you came to buy a house the other day, I asked if you were married. You didn't answer me! When exactly did you get married?"
Xu Wei was suddenly a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. If it were someone else, she might have just brushed it off, but she couldn't bear to deceive such a close childhood friend. However, she really couldn't bring up the matter of being a kept woman.
Li Luo saw her state and took over the conversation, saying with a smile,
"Soon. When I marry Weiwei, I'll notify you. Just have your red envelope ready in advance."
Hearing this, Lin Xinwan teased her childhood friend with a smile,
"So you haven't married yet? I saw you calling Young Master Li 'hubby' so affectionately, I thought you were already married!"
Xu Wei saw her man helping her out. Although she knew what he said wasn't true, she still gave him a grateful look.
Li Luo had different thoughts. He had considered this issue before. Although these women of his didn't seem to care on the surface, marriage still held great significance for the people of Huaxia.
His plan was that if he didn't want to be too high-profile, he would take his women to a small country to get married in the future.
As for marriage certificates, he could just buy some; it was just a formality. Or he could directly buy an island and bring all his women there to get married. Getting the blessings of their families was more precious than that of outsiders.
Although changing nationality would allow for a legitimate marriage and certificate abroad, as a member of Huaxia, he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
After giving her man a grateful look, Xu Wei turned and teased her childhood friend,
"I don't believe that when you were dating, you never called your boyfriend 'hubby'. What are you trying to pull here?"
"Hey, I'm definitely not pulling anything. When I was dating my Ex-boyfriend, I really never called him that once. Unlike you—'hubby, hubby'—it's really sappy."
By the end, Lin Xinwan's voice had turned into a cutesy, high-pitched tone.
Xu Wei's composure instantly broke.
"Lin Xinwan, you're asking for it! When did I ever make a sound like that?!"
"Of course not during the day when there are many people around, but at night in bed, who knows what someone might say."
"Lin... Xin... Wan, I'm going to kill you!"
The sudden scream gave even Li Luo a start.
Then the two began to scuffle. Li Luo didn't expect that just coming for a meal would include this kind of benefit.
"Why are you pulling my top? Weiwei, are you crazy? Your hubby is still here!" Lin Xinwan cried out in alarm.
"Now you know to mention my hubby? Weren't you talking about me in front of him quite happily just now?"
"Besides, my hubby isn't an outsider. If he sees everything, just let him take responsibility. Since you don't want to get married anyway, just let him pay to support you."
Lin Xinwan was dumbfounded.
"Weiwei, do you have a fever? How can you say such things, especially since your hubby is right here."
Xu Wei let go and said nonchalantly,
"I don't have a fever. As long as my hubby is willing, I'm all for it."
"And to tell you the truth, I'm just one of his women."
Lin Xinwan didn't expect that by treating her childhood friend to a meal, she would hear such explosive news.
But she couldn't help her heart racing. Judging by how this man had bought a house for Weiwei before, he was indeed a very generous wealthy man.
