Yi Fei and Wu Chen walked in the parking lot until Wu Chen stopped in front of a black car. The car looked expensive.
"Wow! Chen Chen, is this one of your cars? It looks expensive. What kind of car is this?" Yi Fei didn't know much about a car, but the car in front of them screams 'money.'
"It's okay, nothing much. Just Porsche Cayenne GTS" Wu Chen entered the car. Yi Fei entered too. She admired the elegant interior of the vehicle. Curious about how much the car would cost, Yi Fei took out her phone and tried to search on the internet.
"$ 159 600" Yi Fei let out a dramatic gasp. "Chen Chen, are you that rich like THAT RICH?"
Wu Chen chuckled at the shocked expression on Yi Fei's face. His right hand caressed Yi Fei's cheek. "So what if I am rich? Will you fall in love deeper with me now?"
"I know you are rich, but I didn't expect that you would be so rich. No wonder the media likes to write news about you" Yi Fei looked at Wu Chen seriously. "Chen Chen, I'm not rich."
"I know" Their luggage was put in the trunk and Wu Chen started the engine and they were on their way to City B. "I don't care whether you are rich or not. My money is enough for the two of us."
Along the way to City B, Yi Fei had a lot of thought. Now that she knew how wealthy Wu Chen was, she was not sure anymore whether all of these were real or not.
"Chen Chen, do you watch a lot of drama?" Yi Fei's question was so random that Wu Chen decided to play along.
"Why? Do you want to make a drama out of your novel?" Wu Chen was always entertained when Yi Fei asked random questions.
"Not really. You see, in the drama, when the rich male lead fell in love with the poor female lead, the rich parents will always get in the way" Yi Fei suddenly had this gloomy aura around her, and she started acting.
"When she loves him, he doesn't love her back, and when he loves her, she had fallen out of love from him… And when they love each other, there will always be this crazy ex-girlfriend who will try to ruin everything. Ahh, love is so complicated. Tonight I can write the saddest thing" Yi Fei was so immersed in her poetic language of love.
Wu Chen who was driving laughed loudly because of Yi Fei's antic. "Idiot. That only happened in movies" Wu Chen knocked on her head softly.
But Yi Fei was not laughing; she was not even smiling. She was very serious. "But seriously Chen Chen, I feel as if we live in two different worlds. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of those rich, beautiful women lining up to be your girlfriend. Compared to them, I'm just…" Yi Fei made an up and down gestured with her hands frantically. "I am just…this!"
Before things get worse and before Yi Fei could think of anything else, Wu Chen stopped the car at the side of the road.
"Eh, why are we stopping? Is it because I am annoying, so you want me to get off the car?" Yi Fei was panic. "After this, I promise that I will be reticent, I will not…" Before Yi Fei could finish speaking, Wu Chen grabbed her cheek and kissed her passionately.
Yi Fei was shocked, but kissing is better than being left on the side of the road for being a chatterbox.
By the time Wu Chen let go of her, Yi Fei was all red from the kiss. She was calm on the outside, but inside her heart, she was squealing like crazy.
"I have named you queen. There are taller than you, purer than you and lovelier than you. But you are the queen. We shall always be you and me."
Yi Fei was touched when Wu Chen said that. She felt that Wu Chen was getting more and more poetic each day. Then Yi Fei realized, she seemed to remember something Queen, but she can't seem to pinpoint where she heard something about it.
Wu Chen had this satisfied look on his face. Last time, when he went to pick up the drunk John and Yi Fei from the Misty Bar, John tried to kiss Liu Shi to shut him from laughing. Even though John was annoying, Wu Chen was amazed that he learned something from him and that can be used to make Yi Fei stopped her unnecessary rambling.
The mood was romantic until Yi Fei ruined it again.
"Hey, that was Pablo Neruda's poem. How do you know that? Do you like Pablo Neruda as well?" Yi Fei was excited. She was even more excited to talk about a particular poet than talk about their passionate kiss.
Wu Chen shook his head and started moving towards City B again. Yi Fei clung to his limb, urging him to answer whether he liked Pablo Neruda or not. Truthfully, Wu Chen didn't know who Pablo Neruda is. He saw that poem from the poetry book that Yi Fei lent him. There was a DIY bookmark with a unicorn and the verse printed on it. For some reason, Wu Chen remembered it well because it was a suitable poem for Yi Fei because she was his Queen.
Wu Chen left Yi Fei hanging, and he didn't even answer her question. Instead, he asked the most critical question that he should know.
"Fei Fei, what're your parents like?" Wu Chen wanted to make a good impression in front of Yi Fei's parents because he needed their blessing to be with Yi Fei.
When Wu Chen asked her a question, Yi Fei forgot about her previous question to Wu Chen. "Both my parents are a teacher. My dad is teaching History, and my mom is teaching Mathematics. Don't worry; they are cool. It's just that…" Yi Fei paused.
"It's just what?" Wu Chen was serious when he asked Yi Fei about her parents.
"To be continued…" Yi Fei smiled broadly. If Wu Chen didn't want to tell her whether he liked Pablo Neruda or not, then she could play the game too.
Wu Chen's lips twitched. He was serious, but the lady beside him was playing around. Wu Chen pinched her cheek. "Don't be naughty. You should tell me so that I could impress your parents. How am I going to ask for your hand in marriage if they don't like me?"
The word 'marriage' seemed to work its magic. Yi Fei's face flushed scarlet, and she was not making any sense when talking.
"Marri…Marriage… What are you…What do you mean? What marriage? I don't know what you are talking about… Ha haha ha… Don't play around" Yi Fei laughed awkwardly because she didn't expect that the word 'marriage' will come out from Wu Chen's mouth when they only dated for almost four months now.
"I'm dating you with marriage in mind; I'm not playing around okay. So, tell me what are your parents like?" Satisfied that he made Yi Fei flustered, Wu Chen asked the serious question again.
The scarlet face Yi Fei looked at Wu Chen in a new light. She fell in love with him over and over again.
"Chen Chen, I want to grow old with you."
Her words full of promise for their future and Wu Chen smiled because he knew.
