Chapter 67: The Ferris Wheel
His voice was like a quiet breeze under the moonlight. It swept past her ears, blowing away the annoyance and distress of the hot summer.
Indulging herself in the pleasant voice, Si Wan couldn’t help turning around.
If a gentleman should be as gentle as jade, then this man in front of her was a naturally angular and flawless diamond. She knew if she held him too tightly, she would be cut. Still, she rushed to him regardless of everything.
His cold lips landed on Si Wan’s forehead and was reluctant to leave.
“Thank you, Ming.”
Her voice was as sweet as her appearance. Amid the drizzle, she walked over gracefully. Her voice was not depressing but heart-soothing. It sounded like whispers of cheerful talks.
He held Si Wan into his warm arms, and she naturally rested her head on his firm shoulder.
A loose suit was draped over them.
They were far from the madding downtown and isolated from the raucous crowd.
The sky was studded with twinkling stars that looked like naughty children blinking their eyes.
The deep sky had a blue face, and the crescent looked like a beaming smile.
They leaned closer against each other, exchanging warmth.
The sky was their quilt, and the ground their mat. It was a good night’s sleep.
A gust of sea breeze blew over, awakening the man from his sound sleep.
The woman in his arms involuntarily curled up a little.
His thick eyebrows were knitted like sharp knives that slashed at the wind. This seemed to be his punishment for the coldness it brought to the lady in his arms.
He carried the lady up, draped the coat over her and slowly went on their way back.
The morning sunlight covered them like a warm quilt, driving their coldness away.
The man’s back was firm and strong. A white shirt stuck to his body tightly, setting off his perfect figure.
The woman in his arms was sound asleep. Curling up, she snuggled up to his chest from time to time.
As slightly damp hair drooped over his eyes, he involuntarily shook his head so that he could see clearly the woman in his arms.
On his arrogant face, the corner of his mouth curled slightly upward.
Like an exalted king, Gong Siming, no longer amiable, demonstrated his haughtiness.
Although he had one person in his arms, his pace was steady and swift.
More and more people were whispering, and the street became busier.
Si Wan writhed uneasily in his arms.
Awed by his aura, passers-by consciously avoided the man and uttered no sound.
As soon as Si Wan opened her eyes and saw Gong Siming glaring at others, she found it both hilarious and boring.
Why was the man so domineering? The road wasn’t paved for him.
But she was wrong. This road and these buildings were all built by Gong’s Group.
When he looked down, the woman in his arms was staring at him with her widened eyes.
“Did they wake you up?”
While he was speaking, Gong Siming took a glance coldly.
“No, I’ve had too much sleep and even got a headache.” Replied Si Wan with a smile.
“Have you caught a cold?”
Gong Siming pressed his forehead against Si Wan’s to feel her temperature.
Si Wan blushed in his arms.
“No, put me down.”
Si Wan was a little shy under the gaze of so many people.
Gently putting Si Wan down on a bench, he put on the shoes for her.
Hand in hand, the couple stepped into a department store.
Gong Siming took out his black visa card.
A salesperson immediately guided them to higher floors.
After buying two sets of lovers’ clothes, they walked out together.
At the sight of the lover’s clothes on her body, Si Wan looked blue in the face and felt helpless about Gong Siming’s arbitrary request.
As soon as they got out, Gong Siming grabbed Si Wan’s hand again regardless of her will.
While walking, Si Wan couldn’t help frowning at the unfamiliar environment and road.
“Where are you taking me?”
The man made no response.
Unwilling to go further, Si Wan tried to shake off Gong Siming’s hand.
“What are you doing exactly?”
Si Wan shouted angrily, attracting a lot of attention. But any intention of intervention was deterred by Gong Siming’s aura.
People just shook their heads helplessly and went away quickly for fear of getting hurt.
Straining her strength to the utmost, she could hardly shake loose of his grip.
At last, Si Wan simply squatted down.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gong Siming carried Si Wan on his shoulder, a scene no different from bandits snatching brides. Only this bandit was noble in temperament.
Si Wan struggled a little and then gave in.
“Fine, I’ll go, could you let me down?”
Ignoring her appeal, Gong Siming quickened his pace.
“It’s my fault, Ming, I’m begging you, please let me down!”
Since a man… no, a beautiful lady, more precisely, could bear a temporary setback, Si Wan begged for mercy.
It worked. Gong Siming really let her down.
But his grip was not loosened even a bit.
The whole day she had been accompanying Gong Siming to stroll around. It turned out this man was a shopping maniac.
The point was, no matter where they went, his look remained the same.
He acted like he was bearing a grudge against everyone.
Many kids were even cried out of fright.
The couple found a quiet cafe for a rest.
While Gong Siming gracefully sipped his coffee, Si Wan couldn’t help but complain.
“What’s wrong with you? They’re just kids. Why did you glare at them like that?”
Sitting face to face, Gong Siming listened to Si Wan’s grumbling.
He put down the coffee and said nonchalantly.
“If you like kids so much, we can have one!”
The spinning coffee cup suddenly dashed towards Gong Siming’s hand.
Spilled with coffee, he glanced a warning at Si Wan.
“It seems you are excited about it, so I’ll take it as a yes.”
Having wiped the coffee stains off, Gong Siming got up and pulled Si Wan out.
“No, Gong Siming.”
“Shut up, or I’ll make you bear one now!”
She shut her mouth and followed Gong Siming obediently.
Hua Er was waiting by the road in his car.
As soon as they got in, Gong Siming covered Si Wan’s eyes.
Though reluctant, Si Wan had to resign herself to Gong Siming’s despotic power.
Blindfolded, Si Wan felt the trip unbearably interminable.
Along the way, Si Wan almost fell asleep.
Gong Siming held Si Wan’s hand and walked forward.
Suddenly he stopped.
He untied that piece of black cloth covering her eyes.
Opening her eyes abruptly, Si Wan felt that the scene ahead was dazzlingly bright.
Rubbing her bleary eyes, she was greatly moved by the spectacle before her.
Her tears fell unwittingly. That was so beautiful!
It was the wonderland she had been dreaming about.
