Olivia had never expected such a situation.
The music in the milk tea shop continued to play. Josh looked at her quietly. The person in front of her looked up. When their eyes met, Olivia sighed softly, "When did you know?"
The relationship between the two people changed instantly, and even the atmosphere of the conversation felt different. Olivia looked at her with a much more generous gaze. She looked at her directly, no longer covering up, and looked at her face carefully. She was very delicate and the type she liked.
Josh held the cold drink in her hand, her palms were cool and comfortable. She thought for a moment and answered her question seriously, "Not long ago. I just found out about it a week ago."
Olivia nodded slightly, frowning slightly. She made the decision in just one week, and returned home so happily. I could tell yesterday that she didn't want to get married either. If that was the case, why did she agree so readily?
He came to see me today on purpose. Could it be that he was caught with some evidence?
Olivia thought for a while, then asked her in a more tactful way: "Why do you think we are suitable? Don't you want to get married?"
Josh smiled, tilted her head and thought for a while, as if she didn't know what to say, waiting for Olivia to say forget it, she spoke, looking straight into Olivia's eyes, and said seriously, "I have always had a wish, and now I finally see the hope of realizing it. I should, must, seize the opportunity."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the table. Her eyes were empty. Her fingers lightly touched the wall of the cup. Then she said, "Even if the process was not satisfactory."
Silence fell.
Olivia pursed her red lips. She understood that she was the "hope". As for what the other party's wish was, it was not convenient for her to ask. As it involved privacy, she politely did not think of asking.
But she couldn't figure out why there was any hope only if she married herself, or if she would be hindered if she didn't get married.
The other party did not urge her, giving her time to think carefully and digest it. Olivia was silent for a long time, "Is it important?"
Josh hummed: "Important."
Olivia pursed her lips, lowered her head and sighed, as if she had made a decision. She swiped the information about Josh on the screen of her mobile phone, raised her hand generously, turned the phone over and held it up to show her, and said bluntly: "My understanding of you now is limited to the information on it."
Then he added: "But I'll consider it."
Josh looked up at her, his eyes slightly bright, smiling sweetly, leaning forward, his eyes slightly raised, and jokingly said, "It seems that you are quite satisfied with my appearance."
The originally solemn and serious atmosphere was broken, and Olivia coughed lightly with some embarrassment. Josh was really beautiful, so beautiful that she was aggressive. Every time he saw her, he was embarrassed to look her in the eye.
I don't know what her personality is like, but after meeting her a few times, she seems nice, gentle and polite.
"You're quite right. We are indeed... quite suitable."
She had just said that she needed to think about it. Olivia felt a little embarrassed. Her mouth couldn't keep up with her brain, so she shut her mouth after she finished speaking. It was the first time she felt that she couldn't speak and she didn't know what she had said.
Josh looked at her with a half-smile, took a sip of the fruit tea in the cup, and after confirming that Olivia did not object, he said: "It would be even better if you think so too. In fact, we have no choice."
Olivia: ...
If she hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten that her family had already secretly arranged a wife for her, so she really had to marry this wife. Olivia secretly felt lucky that it was Josh, and she could still accept her. She even began to feel unconfident, as if she was the one who got the advantage, because she was beautiful and had a good personality.
Olivia was silent for a few seconds: "So you came to see me today, is...?"
Even if she didn't come to find me, I would still know it by then, it's just that I would have known it earlier.
Josh smiled: "Yesterday I found that you didn't know it was me and you were very resistant, so today I came to give you a shot of prevention so that you can be mentally prepared."
So Josh came to find her today on purpose, in order to let them understand each other. She asked her politely if she could accept it. In fact, Olivia thought that even if they had to get married, she could just run away, but she couldn't afford the consequences.
Josh: "I was afraid that you didn't know it was me, so I ran away."
Olivia: ...
Fortunately, I just thought about it in my mind and didn’t say it out loud.
Olivia pulled the corner of his mouth and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away if I find out it's you?"
Josh nodded, met her gaze, and said seriously: "More afraid."
"But I was blindly confident. I think I should have some hope. How should I put it? The reason for my confidence might be that I look better."
Olivia choked. He did have the capital to say this and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, you are quite right."
She admitted that she is obsessed with looks.
But when she thought that if she agreed, wouldn't those people at home succeed? She gritted her teeth, feeling quite unwilling to accept it.
I don’t know what to say, it seems like there is nothing good to talk about.
She muttered quietly: "Why not just get the certificate tomorrow and move directly."
This way she could leave that stupid place sooner, get married right away, and scare them first.
Josh's lips relaxed and he chuckled, "Okay."
She suddenly said "yes". Olivia looked up unexpectedly and looked at her in disbelief. He could hear it, but she replied too quickly without even thinking about it. There was no need to be so anxious. He was just trying to show off his ability with his words.
As if not noticing the surprise in Olivia's eyes, Josh said to himself: "I just returned to China and don't know much about it. Do you have any place you like? Let's see which one is better to live in. Or I can ask my friend. Um... her family is in real estate."
Josh raised his eyebrows and looked at Olivia again, his eyes fell on her slender fingers, and said, "Why don't we go and take a look at the ring later?"
Olivia's eyebrows jumped, and her brain was about to crash. She hadn't figured out whether her action was too strong, and she was still struggling with whether to agree...
"You, wait a minute." Olivia interrupted her, holding the phone, tapping it lightly on the table, moving his lips, and said slowly: "Don't be too outrageous."
Their eyes met, and there was no awkwardness of being interrupted. Josh looked at her with a smile.
It could be seen that she was teasing him. Olivia couldn't help laughing. Why was she like that?
"I have to go back to work, so I may not have time during this period." Olivia looked at the calendar boredly and said, "But I don't have to go tomorrow."
After that, she looked at her phone and scrolled through the work content. There was almost no work. She thought for a while and said, "Well...it's okay if I don't go the day after tomorrow."
Josh didn't quite understand what she meant, so he tentatively said, "Okay, let's go buy a ring and get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and go look at a house the day after tomorrow."
Olivia choked, "I mean, I only have two days, we can get to know each other, don't be so sudden."
Why does she keep thinking about getting the marriage certificate tomorrow? Is she in such a hurry...
"We can give it a try. If we really can't get along, we can divorce after half a year, a year, or two years. If you find someone you like, you can tell me and I will never drag you down."
After she finished speaking, she paused, her eyes moved to Josh's face, her throat rolling slightly, "Do you have someone you like?"
After saying that, he quickly added: "I don't mean to pry into your privacy, it's just..."
Being interrupted in the middle of her conversation, Josh said with a smile: "I know, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who changes his mind every day."
"I think we should be able to get along well."
Olivia opened her mouth, thinking that she was too confident and optimistic. She didn't believe it. If they got married, they would probably get divorced soon. She always felt that arranged marriages were not advisable.
But she just thought about it in her mind and swallowed the words back, not saying them out loud, as it would have been quite a letdown.
Josh wanted to say something, but before she opened her mouth, her cell phone started ringing wildly. First, there were message alerts. When she picked up the phone, before she could open it, the call came in.
Seeing this, Olivia turned her head away tactfully. Although she was a little curious, she wondered who was so anxious to look for her so early in the morning.
The call was connected, and Harper's thief-like voice came over. Josh frowned and moved the phone away from her ear. It was noisy on the other end, and the voice was so soft that she couldn't hear clearly.
I turned on the speaker and placed my phone on the table. "What are you talking about? Speak louder."
"Come back soon! Why haven't you come back yet!" Harper said with a sad face, exaggerating, "If you don't come back soon, I will lose my dignity in my later years!"
Josh raised an eyebrow: "I just got here and can't go back."
Olivia had just sat up straight and was ready to leave when she heard her say this. She knew she had been here for a while. She took a sip of tea and didn't say anything to expose her. She thought, forget it, just sit for a while.
Harper complained in an exaggerated tone: "Do you know where I am now?"
Josh pursed her lips: "Toilet."
Harper: "Hey? There's no surveillance camera in my bathroom!"
Josh: "The flushing sound is very loud."
Olivia raised a faint smile on his face and listened quietly.
Harper: "Oh...think of a way, come and save me, take me away."
Josh sighed and said helplessly: "Why don't you just open the door and walk out?"
I don’t know what she is up to now, but it’s probably related to the little sister she provoked.
In the small space, Harper curled his fingers and knocked on the door intermittently, gritting his teeth and replied: "It's all your fault. You said your wife wasn't far away from you, and I thought you would be back soon, but you just arrived. You must have forgotten about me completely."
"In your eyes, an hour's journey is not far. What is far? Is it the somersault of the Monkey King?"
Josh was looking at her phone, her eyes lightly glancing at Olivia's face. Seeing that she kept tilting her head and looked a little embarrassed, she smiled and didn't expose her, only blaming Harper for her mouth.
"You are such a grown-up, if you want to leave, just leave. Why are you waiting for me?"
Harper was silent for a few seconds, and whispered: "It's a big deal. Her mother is here, and I don't dare to go out."
Josh: ...
Listening to this sound, it's quite aggrieved.
Josh raised her eyes and glanced at Olivia. She didn't want to leave so soon, so she sighed helplessly, "Okay, but it will take me at least half an hour to get back."
"I can play a game while you wait." Harper said rudely, and generously, "Bring your wife with you. I'll treat you to a meal."
This way, their time together wouldn't be wasted. Well, she was really smart. She could also take a closer look at the other person to satisfy herself. She remembered that the other person was also a beauty.
Josh hung up the phone first and looked at Olivia, "Sorry, she knew I was coming to see you, so she spoke quickly."
The oral form can be changed quickly.
Olivia cleared his throat, hummed lightly, smiled and shook his head, changing the subject, "It's okay, my car is here, drive over."
If I had known this would happen, I would have gone there myself from the beginning.
Josh looked at her in surprise and nodded.
Olivia walked to the door of the store and stepped out. The sunlight outside was extremely dazzling and he felt a little dazed. Why did he agree to go in? Wouldn't that be too impolite?
