I opened my eyes slowly, turned my face to look at him, "So what?"
"Nance, do you think it's fun to play with the feelings of the men?" Vince questioned.
"I'm not playing with anyone's feelings." I pursed my lips and say flatly.
"Then are you serious about our relationship?" Vince gripped my shoulders and looked at me.
I looked up to meet Vince's eyes. His pupils were so clear.
“Of course I take it seriously.” I smiled. "If you marry me, I'll do as you say and I won't play with anyone's emotions."
I didn't know why I said something crazy. I knew Vince and Qi Ouyang were about to get engaged, but I still asked him to marry me. It was probably because I wanted to get back at Qi Ouyang, or maybe it was because of my love for Vince.
I looked at Vince's surprised face, smiled, turned my back on him and said, "I'm kidding. You don't have to take my words seriously."
I didn't even ask him to marry me when I was pregnant with his child. And now I had nothing and even my pride had been be trampled upon. Now I was in no position to ask him to marry me.
"Fine, I'll marry you." Vince replied firmly, and I stared at him in shock.
“What did he just say? Am I hallucinating? Vince wants to marry me? Is he doing this out of pity or love for me?” I thought a lot.
"What did you just say?" I asked him.
“I’ll marry you.” he said again. "I'll meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten on Monday." As soon as he finished, Vince turned around and left.
What was he doing asking me out today? Did I just mess up his plans with my joke? Well, I had to admit that my joke messed up my plans completely.
Why did I force him to marry me? Was I ready to marry Vince?
No, I wasn't prepared for that at all. I couldn't imagine what kind of disaster marrying Vince would bring to my family. I didn't even know why Vince wanted to marry me.
I even didn't know how I got home. All I could think about was what Vince said about marrying me.
When mom came up and gave me a push and I came to myself.
