1414: One-Sided Love

One-Sided Love

Helian Wei couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Jing Ruyue with the new haircut.2

Jing Ruyue had the same haircut 20 years ago.

It was as if they had gone back to the past, when they'd first met each other.

Jing Ruyue strolled towards Helian Wei and stopped in front of him.

"How do I look?" Jing Ruyue asked with a smile.

"Pretty…"

"Yanyan helped me cut it. We don't have to hire a stylist anymore."

"Yes. Looks like our daughter is really talented, huh?"

"Stop with the compliments, dad," Jing Xi laughed.

Jing Xi sat down next to Huo Yunshen on the couch, and Huo Yunshen moved closer towards her ear.

"Hey, how about you cut my hair too?"

"Sure. Maybe I'll give you a buzz cut!"

Jing Xi then laughed at her own joke when she thought of how Huo Yunshen would look with a buzz cut.

Ying Bao came back with the three puppies and saw that her mother was laughing really hard.

"Mommy, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm thinking about how your daddy would look if he had a buzz cut. It would be hilarious," Jing Xi explained as she continued to laugh.

Ying Bao stared at her father for a while and said, "Daddy would still be the most handsome person, even without hair!"

And her words made the adults laugh happily.

Huo Yunshen pulled his daughter into his arms and kissed her cheek.

"That's my girl!"

Huo Yunshen and his family left after having their lunch at the castle.

On their way back, Jing Xi got a call from Ouyang Feifei asking if she was free.

Jing Xi asked for the address Ouyang Feifei wanted to meet at and asked Huo Yunshen to drive her there. Jing Xi realized it was a wedding dress store when they arrived.

Ouyang Feifei was waiting for Jing Xi outside the store. Jing Xi then asked Huo Yunshen to take Ying Bao back home.

"What are we doing here?" Jing Xi asked Ouyang Feifei.

"I need you to help me pick a dress. I'm getting engaged next month."

"What? Engaged? To who?"

"The son of my father's friend."

Ouyang Feifei did not really know her to-be fiance well. The engagement had been decided on by the adults a long time ago.

"Can you accept this?" Jing Xi asked.

"I can't do anything, even if I can't."

Ouyang Feifei had wholly given up on Jun Yan. That was why she had accepted her father's engagement proposal.

"But… You really have to think this through. This is one of the biggest moments in your life, you know?"

"I know, but I've already given my consent, and I can't take back my words easily."

In Ouyang Feifei's eyes, she thought that she could never obtain happiness. Even if she were to decline the proposal, another would just come knocking on her door.
