Chapter 1198: Skillful as a Tongue
Mark gave Yu Wei a meaningful look, then smiled and said, "Weiwei is so assertive because she hasn't met someone who can give her a sense of security, so she uses assertiveness to disguise herself. If one day she meets someone she can truly open her heart to, she'll definitely become a gentle, feminine woman again. I just wonder if I have the chance to be the one standing by her side."
Such a blatant confession made Yu Wei so angry that her teeth ached, and she wanted to take a needle from the craftsman's sewing bag and sew Mark's mouth shut!
But Madam Yu was very pleased with Mark's words, and she nodded with a smile, growing to like Mark more and more each time she looked at him.
Originally, Mrs. Yu felt it was a pity about Yu Wei and Sheng Nantian's relationship, but since it was all in the past, she respected Yu Wei's choice and began looking for a new boyfriend for her. Unexpectedly, Yu Wei brought back a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign man this time, a descendant of a famous French family. His parents even called to express their sincerity.
Although Mark's reputation wasn't good before, rumors shouldn't be taken at face value. Through her observations over the past few days, Mrs. Yu found that this young man was polite and considerate, and most importantly, very good to Wei, which made her very satisfied. She also wanted to play matchmaker for the two of them.
Seeing Mark gazing at Yu Wei with eyes full of love, Mrs. Yu said contentedly, "Oh, I'm so glad Yu Wei has a friend like you."
The way the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and found him more and more pleasing to the eye was really hard for Yu Wei to handle. She quickly changed out of her dress and said with a straight face, "Since you two are having such a good time chatting, you can continue. I'm going out for a walk!"
Madam Yu called out to Yu Wei several times from behind, but Yu Wei did not stop. This annoyed Madam Yu, who frowned and said, "This child, I wonder what kind of tantrum she's throwing now."
Although Mark was very anxious, he calmly said, "A beautiful lady has the right to be angry, Auntie, excuse me for a moment."
Mrs. Yu could see the anxiety in Mark's eyes, nodded, and said, "Go quickly."
Yu Wei was walking aimlessly down the street, her hands in her pockets, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, Yu Wei noticed a guy behind her with the same synchronization rate. She frowned and quickened her pace.
But no matter how fast or slow Yu Wei tried, she couldn't shake off this person. Frustrated, she stopped, turned around, and angrily said, "Don't follow me, get away!"
Even though he was yelled at, Mark still smiled and said, "How can you be unhappy just like that?"
"I like it, and that's none of your business!"
“But I have an obligation to make you happy,” Mark said casually as he took Yu Wei’s hand on the bustling street, his tone full of doting affection, as if he were indulging his capricious and unreasonable girlfriend.
This beautiful scene, like a painting, leaves everyone who passes by with awe.
However, not everyone viewed this scene with appreciation. For example, Sheng Nantian was standing just ten meters away from the two of them.
"Have you returned to China?"
The cold voice was both strange and familiar. Yu Wei was stunned for a long time before mechanically turning around and looking at the man opposite her with a calm expression.
With a slight smile, Yu Wei greeted the girl as if she were talking to a casual friend, saying, "Yeah, it just happened in the last couple of days. I really didn't expect to run into you here. How have you been lately?"
"very bad!"
Sheng Nantian's suppressed anger made Yu Wei pause for a moment, and at the same time find it ridiculous. What right did this guy have to talk to her like that?!
Taking a deep breath, Yu Wei, not wanting to argue with him any longer, turned to leave. But Sheng Nantian blocked her path, urgently saying, "Weiwei, because Father wasn't feeling well, I needed to come back to take over the family business, which is why I rushed back to the country. I called you to explain, but you didn't answer, so I..."
Irritated, Yu Wei interrupted Sheng Nantian, frowning as she said, "You don't need to explain to me. We're over, and I don't want to hear it!"
"Even if we're not related, we can still start as friends, right? Weiwei, I..."
"Hey, you bastard, can't you see Weiwei doesn't want to talk to you right now!" Mark suddenly stood between him and Yu Wei, his tone unfriendly.
Perhaps he was too happy to see Yu Wei, so Sheng Nantian didn't see Mark. Now that he saw this annoying man, he was even angrier.
Turning to look at Yu Wei, Sheng Nantian coldly questioned, "Is he your reason for no longer contacting me?"
Yu Wei didn't want to get entangled with Sheng Nantian any longer, so she deliberately took Mark's arm and said in a very intimate manner, "Didn't I already tell you last time? I've already agreed to Mark's request, and he's my boyfriend now! And my parents have accepted him too. I think you'll receive my invitation soon! Remember to come to the wedding!"
After saying that, Yu Wei ignored Sheng Nantian's heart-wrenching pain and pulled Mark forward.
Mark wanted to say a few more harsh words to provoke Sheng Nantian. But seeing Sheng Nantian's stunned expression, he knew that the only one who could truly hurt him was Yu Wei, and his words were completely insignificant.
Mark didn't know where Yu Wei was going, even though she was pulling him along. But that didn't matter; he liked the feeling of being relied on and trusted by Yu Wei.
Finally, Yu Wei got tired of walking. She stood by a river, let go of Mark, leaned on the railing, and let the breeze tousle her long hair.
Mark disliked Yu Wei's forlorn expression, as if he had become a passerby in her life, so he leaned close to her and said with a smile, "Hey, after using me, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
Randomly running her hand through her hair, Yu Wei asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"
"You've chosen your dress and you'll look beautiful at Qingtian's wedding. I don't have a suitable suit yet! Come on, come with me to look around. You have good taste, help me pick one out."
Mark said, trying to pull Yu Wei away. But Yu Wei disgustedly shook off Mark, frowning and saying, "I'm not that free, you go by yourself!"
"Hey, it's not right to kick someone after they've served their purpose!"
"So what if I demolished the bridge!"
Mark snorted twice, a wicked smile on his face, and said, "Then I'll go find Sheng Nantian right now and tell him that you were just pretending to be with me, so he can come back and keep bothering you!"
After saying that, Mark turned and left.
"Stop right there!" Yu Wei shouted angrily, "Mark, you're so despicable!" "I did this just to make you fall in love with me! After all, women love bad boys!" Mark said smugly, pushing Yu Wei from behind, urging, "Come on, come on, they'll be closing soon!"
