Chapter 7：Let's Get Married

She swiped her finger on the phone for a long time absent-mindedly, and Ye Banxia didn't even know when she pressed the call button.

It wasn't until a familiar and deep male voice came over the phone that she woke up from her daze.

"Young Master Mo."

Her dry voice fell into the man's ear through the earpiece. Mo Chenyan furrowed his eyebrows and held the steering wheel tighter. His deep eyes turned gloomy in the darkness and he asked, "Where are you?"

"Let's get married."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and she could only hear the faint sound of the man's breathing, which shook her nerves.

With every minute and second that passed, Ye Banxia held the phone tighter and tighter, until at last, her knuckles had turned white. She bit her lip slightly. Did he regret it now?

It took a long time for her to hear his answer through the phone. "Okay."

Then, he hung up.

Ye Banxia froze slightly. She removed the phone from her ear and stared at the darkened screen.

Did that mean… he had agreed?

…

Ye Banxia didn't know how long she had walked on the street, but when she looked up again, the vast sky was covered by the thick night. There were no stars and the moon was lonely overhead, exuding a faint pale halo.

The surrounding neon lights illuminated the surrounding scene, but her delicate figure was hidden in a dark shadow behind the tree.

The more bustling the city, the louder the voices, and the more lively the surroundings, the more lonely and desolate a person would be.

She casually found a low stool in the park and sat down, hugging her knees with her hands and burying her head in them. It was as if this way, she could isolate all the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving her alone with nothing in her mind at all.

"Ye Banxia."

Above her head, a low baritone voice sounded and Ye Banxia's delicate figure stiffened a little.

She was so surprised that she even forgot to be embarrassed. How could this man suddenly appear here?

Mo Chenyan was wearing a silver-grey shirt, and his black suit was as straight and neat as ever. His left hand was elegantly inserted into his trouser pocket, and his right hand was hanging to his side. At this moment, his eyes were faint and looking down at her.

"Are you crying again?" He frowned and seemed puzzled. "Do you feel so wronged to marry me?"

Ye Banxia suddenly stood up from the low stool. "I didn't cry."

Perhaps she remembered the scene in the ward in the morning, for she gritted her teeth and suddenly added, "My eyes are not red."

The man looked at her eyes meaningfully and stepped forward with his long legs. He bowed his head slightly. "Let me see."

He was very close to her as he spoke, and his manly breath exhaled on her face relentlessly. Ye Banxia's ears slowly warmed up, but he just seemed to be staring at her eyes intently.

"It still seems a bit red."

The man finally came to a conclusion and almost choked Ye Banxia to death. Even if it was red, it was because her eyes were closed for a long time, ok?

"Mo Chenyan."

Ye Banxia suddenly called his name.

This was the first time she called his name since the two met. Mo Chenyan raised an eyebrow and motioned her to continue.

"Why do you want to marry me?"

It wasn't the first time she asked this question, but she didn't get his answer last time, so she was really curious.

"In Rongcheng, a whole street of women likes you, and they're all more beautiful and gentler than me. Furthermore, I have nothing now… why do you want to marry me?"

Mo Chenyan stared at her intensely. In the darkness, his eyes were deep and restrained, the dark ink shielding the emotions in his pupils, completely undetectable by her.

"Future Madam Mo, you have too many questions."

The words "Madam Mo" suddenly struck Ye Banxia's heart and her ears turned red.

The eyes of the man hiding in the darkness were still emotionless, but then his gaze intensified and Ye Banxia looked down. She only saw him turn elegant, his straight trouser legs gradually drifting away, and she stayed motionless for a moment.

Until the footsteps in front stopped and the man's somber voice came again. "Follow me."

The simple two words were in a commanding tone that didn't allow any opinions.

Ye Banxia pouted and followed him to the black Bentley. She opened the door and got in.

She gazed out of the window and watched the scenery recede by the road outside. A question popped up in her mind involuntarily. How did he suddenly appear?

She had been too surprised to really think about it just now, but now that she had calmed down…

She frowned and thought that maybe she was thinking too much, so she decided to just mull over the question by herself.

The atmosphere in the car was too quiet and was even tinged with embarrassment, making them want to break it involuntarily.

Ye Banxia turned her head to her side and glanced at his angular handsome face.

"Young Master Mo, where are we going?"

"To eat."

He had driven the whole day to find her and was hungry. And judging by how he had found her just now, she probably hadn't eaten since the call in the morning and had just been wandering around the streets.

Before Ye Banxia could refuse, he said, "We can discuss your sister's surgery too."

So Banxia swallowed her words back.

The place they went for dinner was a high-end Western restaurant. As soon as Mo Chenyan came in, the waiters on both sides bowed respectfully. "Young Master Mo."

Ye Banxia followed him to a luxurious room and sat down after he pulled the chair for her. Her movement was of the same elegance, she didn't lose her prestigious and ladylike habits and temperament.

Mo Chenyan held the menu brought by the waiter in one hand and browsed through it casually. He said, "What do you want to eat?"

Ye Banxia was now more concerned about Hanyan's body, so she randomly flipped to a steak set and pointed with her finger.

"Just this, thank you."

After the waiter left, Ye Banxia looked up at the man opposite her. "Young Master Mo, about my sister's surgery…"

"I called the hospital in the afternoon. If nothing happens, it will take place tomorrow at noon."

Ye Banxia froze slightly. It turned out that he had already arranged it.

A faint warm current flowed in her heart. Although this was more like a transaction and she had sold herself in exchange for Hanyan's surgery, she still felt inexplicably grateful to him.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"Ye Banxia."

His deep eyes fell on her and he stared blankly at her for a while. His handsome and elegant face couldn't hide the sharpness and coldness between his bones. Because of this, she felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.
