Patience is a virtue
Luo Xiaolei's mouth turned agape but deep within her, she was screaming while countless exclamation marks and question marks danced like rain storm in her mind. She was dumbfounded. She wanted to think that this man was only trying to piss her off. She wanted to think that he was only testing her but Yu Chen's expression didn't change at all. Luo Xiaolei couldn't even tell whether he was serious or not. It was just impossible to read him.
"H-huh?! C-confess?" Luo Xiaolei stammered. She felt like her brain just wanted to shut down right now. She couldn't understand why this devil was saying these things. 'Devil, did you forget that this was an arrange marriage? For people like us, you know that there is no need for that! And how do you expect me to confess when I have only met you twice?! Are you serious? Do you want me to confess that I want nothing to do with you?! You even know I was forced and yet… Wait, could it be that he's doing this to get back at me for not showing up last night?! It must be it, right? Ugh! This devil is indeed a devil!'
The man remained quiet as he seemed to be waiting for her reaction. Luo Xiaolei bit her lip hard but the next second, a sweet smile suddenly carved on her face.
"Mr. Yu, I already confessed to you before. Could it be that you forgot?" she said and Yu Chen moved. He straightened as he put his fingers on his gorgeous chin.
"So you're saying that those flowers were your confession?" he asked and Luo Xiaolei nodded like a rattle. 'Great, you have a very sharp memory.'
"Yes, yes. I gave you that flower when I first met you at my grandfather's party. I wouldn't give you a flower if I didn't like you, right?" She explained and when those words reached Yu Chen's ears, he put his hand back to his pocket and once again, he leaned in on her.
"Are you saying it was love at first sight?" he replied and Luo Xiaolei almost choked. 'Damn you devil! The rumor that you never approached any woman before might be a complete lie! Definitely a big fat lie!!'
Luo Xiaolei wanted to beat this devil into pulp and she was already doing it inside her head.
When she calmed down, she smiled again.
"L-looks like it," she playfully admitted when again, the man raised his hand and rested his face on his knuckles. His deep black eyes remained locked on her as seemed to be thinking.
After few seconds, he opened his mouth again.
"Okay, give me some time to think about it."
Countless of exclamation marks fell from the sky. Luo Xiaolei was speechless that all she wanted to do right now was go and pull Yu Chen's collar and bring him down. She couldn't believe how this guy could respond like this to her when it was supposed to be him who was desperate to have a wife.
"B-but, Mr. Yu, I really want to hear your decision right now." Luo Xiaolei started to insist. Well, despite this unthinkable turn of events, Luo Xiaolei was still thinking about the twins and they were her priority right now. So she could only set aside her emotions and suppress them as much as she could.
"Okay, give me 24 hours." Yu Chen said and Luo Xiaolei's veins began to pop.
"Ahaha. Mr. Yu, can't you tell me right now? I don't think I'd be patient enough to wait that long." Forcing a smile, Luo Xiaolei didn't give in. She really wanted to strangle this devil and make him spit the words out now.
As Luo Xiaolei was busy thinking about what to do next, Yu Chen's hand suddenly landed on her head, jolting her senses as she looked at him with wide eyes.
"Miss Luo, patience is a virtue and it's improper to rush this kind of thing." He said and the god of silence passed by over the night sky.
