Chapter 148 Bet
Chapter 148 Bet
Old Eight, who was in the inn, was unaware of the dire situation between Old Nine and Old Ten. He was now eager to know whether Yunyan would go with him. Although he knew that Yunyan might not go with him, he was still full of anticipation in his heart, hoping that he could get what he wanted.
Lao Ba picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, looked at the silent Yunyan, and finally couldn't help but ask out loud!
Lao Ba: "Yan'er..., you can...!"
Before Lao Ba could finish his words, Yun Yan suddenly raised her head, revealed a faint smile, and interrupted Lao Ba with a smile.
Yunyan: "After struggling for so long, I finally asked. I haven't seen you struggle so much before! Come on! Pack your things! I'll go to the county town with you!"
When Lao Ba heard Yunyan's words, he was stunned and looked incredulous. He didn't expect Yunyan to agree. Although he was looking forward to it, he still couldn't believe that Yunyan would agree.
Lao Ba was so excited that he could hardly speak. He grabbed Yun Yan's hand, but unexpectedly, Yun Yan managed to break free from Lao Ba's hand with some clever force!
Yunyan turned her head away, suppressing the reluctance in her heart. Even though she knew that what she said might hurt Lao Ba's heart once again, Yunyan did not want Lao Ba to hold out higher hopes, because she knew that there might not be a result between them!
Lao Ba looked at his empty palms, his heart trembled, and he felt a slight pain in his chest. He had a bad premonition and knew that he might have thought too much just now.
Sure enough, the Eighth Old Man heard Yunyan say, "Yinsi, I know that I have you in my heart and you have me in your heart, but there is too much difference between us. I don't think you are so noble and I am so humble. To me, you are just an ordinary person! I don't think I am unworthy of you. The difference between us is the difference in thinking! For you, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but for me, it is betrayal!"
When Lao Ba heard Yunyan's words, she became anxious. She had always known that the biggest problem between him and Yunyan was that she was afraid that he would have other women. Lao Ba always felt that she was not a lustful person.
Even though Lao Ba had several women in his previous life, he accepted those women for different reasons. The only one he truly wanted to marry, whether in his previous life or this life, was Yunyan!
Lao Ba once again held Yunyan's hands with both hands, with a trace of panic between his eyebrows, and said in a panic: "Yan'er..., I won't, you have to believe me, I won't want any other woman except you in this life!"
Yunyan looked at Lao Ba calmly. She believed that Lao Ba was sincere at this moment and every word he said was true. However, there are many heartless men in the world. Yunyan has traveled to many places and seen too many heartless men.
Yunyan: "Yinsi, I believe every word you say. I believe your sincerity in saying these words, but I don't believe the people around you. I don't believe your father. Looking around, how many men in the world don't take concubines? Even if they don't take concubines, does having a concubine make them not human? Even Nalan Xingde, who said that we should be together for life, wasn't he a playboy and had many confidantes all over the world?"
Yunyan: "Yinsi, there are too many temptations in this world. You may love me and want to be with me, but you know better, are you more unwilling or love me more?"
When Lao Ba heard Yunyan's words, he was stunned. He had never thought about whether he was too unwilling to give up or because he loved Yunyan too deeply and couldn't bear to be separated from her!
However, Lao Ba soon noticed a key point, then he smiled bitterly, his eyelashes trembled, he suppressed the sadness in his heart, and tried to calm himself down!
Lao Ba: "Heh..., Yan'er..., are you doubting that my love for you is not sincere?"
Yunyan paused for a moment, and understood her own thoughts. After all, Yunyan had never believed that Lao Ba was the only one in his life, because this life was too long and there were too many changes!
How many people have said the oath of holding hands with you and growing old together, but what is the result? It is nothing but mutual boredom, or they like the new and dislike the old, and the old is not as happy as the new!
Yunyan is proud. Although she is an orphan, her experiences and what she has are enough to make her proud.
Maybe some people would think that Yunyan is too timid. She has so much, so why not give it a try?
But why do you still try when you know it will be a wrong result? In the end, it’s because you don’t love him enough. Yunyan can treat Lao Ba so rationally.
It's simply that when she loves others, she loves herself more, so she always rationally controls the desires in her heart, because only by controlling the desires in her heart can she avoid giving others the opportunity to hurt herself!
Yunyan is a contradictory person. She is optimistic and cheerful, but she also hides a trace of pessimism in her heart. However, she is also clear-headed, which is rare among others. She knows clearly what she can get and what she wants most.
Yunyan: "Yinsi, why don't we make a bet! If you win, I will marry you. If you lose, you will let me go, and let yourself go, and we will forget each other, okay?"
Lao Ba looked at Yunyan’s bright eyes, those clear eyes, there was nothing in them, as clear as a mirror that could reflect people’s hearts!
Lao Ba couldn't say anything against it. He knew that this was his only chance. He knew that he might not be able to keep Yunyan.
Because he might not win this bet, but Lao Ba still wants to give it a try. Maybe there will be an accident in this world! Maybe God will not be so cruel to him and let him be reborn again. He still can't get what he wants, and he will still be the same as in his previous life, living like neither a human nor a ghost!
Lao Ba showed a forced smile and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you betting on?"
Yunyan: "Let's bet on whether your father will agree to marry me after we go to the county town?"
As soon as Lao Ba heard Yunyan's bet, he knew that he only had a 20% chance of winning. Lao Ba couldn't help but smile bitterly, but despite this, Lao Ba still nodded and agreed.
Because if he didn't agree, he would lose the chance of getting two levels in a row, so he could only give it a try and take a gamble!
Lao Ba feels that his life is a joke. He is always gambling in his past and present lives. He is like a gambler. Mingming wants to get away from the gambling table, but he can't?
In his previous life, he lost everything, even his life. In this life, the outcome can already be guessed!
