I Only Want You

I Only Want You chapter 46

Xie Yun Zhi’s proposal to Yan Lan using the diamond he spent 398 million yuan to buy at the Hong Kong Sotheby’s auction had become the most discussed hot topic on the internet these days.

Netizens actively participating in the discussion were both shocked by the unusually expensive pink diamond and surprised that Xie Yun Zhi was actually planning to marry a man!

For a long time, many people had been skeptical about the relationship between Yan Lan and Xie Yun Zhi because Yan Lan was not a woman; he couldn’t bear children and couldn’t provide Xie Yun Zhi with an heir to take over Venus Jewelry in the future. In the eyes of most people, this seemed to be a fatal flaw.

Xie Yun Zhi had no other brothers. Although his brother, Xie Hanzhi, left behind a son after a car accident, the news that the child was deaf and mute had long been known. No matter how you looked at it, Xie Yun Zhi needed a child. However, as a man, Yan Lan couldn’t give him one. What was the use of their good relationship? Xie Yun Zhi would eventually have to break up with him to get married for the sake of having a child.

However, no one expected Xie Yun Zhi to be so impatient. Their relationship was exposed not long ago, and he was already buying a diamond to propose. He spent nearly four billion just for Yan Lan, as if afraid that if he waited too long, Yan Lan would be taken away by someone else.

Yang Xiaole also felt this way. In his opinion, Xie Yun Zhi’s urgency to marry Yan Lan was beyond comprehension. Yan Lan hadn’t even graduated, and he was already planning to marry him.

During the break, while Yang Xiaole was searching on Weibo, he asked Yan Lan beside him, “Are you planning to change nationality?”

Yan Lan shook his head and wrote on the paper, “There’s no such plan.”

Yang Xiaole looked puzzled. “Then how are you going to get married?”

Yan Lan couldn’t help but smile. “He hasn’t proposed to me yet.”

“With the diamond already bought, isn’t it just a matter of time? After the proposal, there will be an engagement, and then the wedding. Currently, same-sex marriage is not allowed in the country. It’s not illegal, but not legal either. So, how do you plan to establish a marital relationship?”

Yan Lan just shook his head.

Yang Xiaole looked at his profile in silence for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something. His pupils slightly dilated with excitement. “Could it be…”

Yan Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Is this the reason he spent 3.98 billion to buy you a diamond?”

Yan Lan was slightly startled at the words, and his eyes widened.

Yang Xiaole was shocked by his own insight, and he raised his arm to Yan Lan, “Wow, look at my goosebumps…”

Yan Lan reached out and touched it.

“I feel like I have a layer on my back.” Yang Xiaole put down his arm and twisted his body, saying to Yan Lan, “You should understand what I meant just now, right?”

Yan Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

“Couple’s joint property is not realistic for both of you, and there’s no way to achieve it. But if he wants to safeguard your interests in this relationship, it is legitimate to give you something, let you legally and reasonably own it, and let everyone know. Isn’t that what he’s doing now?”

Yan Lan suddenly realized.

The more Yang Xiaole talked, the more it seemed like that. “It’s a bit like buying a house and putting it in your name. But what he wants to give you is more valuable than a house. In this way, even if your marital relationship is not legally protected or recognized, you won’t lose out. Plus, with his marriage proposal declaration, in the eyes of outsiders, you are a married couple.”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaole couldn’t help shaking his head and complaining, “It’s so straightforward. Rich people are really crazy.”

After the initial enlightenment, Yan Lan’s complex emotions subsided, and he felt a bit more complicated again. “But I’m with him not for these things. I hope the relationship between him and me can be simpler.”

Yang Xiaole looked at him in surprise. “Momo, not to criticize you, but do you not realize how rich Xie Yun Zhi is?”

Yan Lan remained silent, playing with the pen between his fingers without writing.

Yang Xiaole searched for stocks to show him, but Yan Lan couldn’t understand them. Still, he seemed impressed.

“The person you like has never been an ordinary person, and even his wealth is extraordinary. What you are thinking about now is just self-inflicted trouble. If Xie Yun Zhi is really as I said earlier, refusing to accept that pink diamond is equivalent to refusing to marry him. How do you think he would feel?”

The pen in Yan Lan’s hand made a clicking sound as it fell on the table.

Yang Xiaole patted him on the shoulder with sincerity. “If you feel guilty, you can accept it as if you are keeping it for yourself. Give it to Tiantian grows up, or leave it to him in the distant future. There are many ways to handle it. Don’t put too much psychological pressure on yourself just because the diamond is too expensive. Besides, such a precious thing, I think Xie Yun Zhi will help you keep it safe.”

After listening, Yan Lan pondered for a long time and nodded slowly.

“What are you planning for this weekend? Going back to Xie’s house again?” Yang Xiaole asked, looking at him.

Yan Lan nodded and asked him, “What about you?”

Yang Xiaole pouted on the table, looking so pitiful. “I want to go see him, but I don’t know if he’s at home. I’m afraid he is, but also afraid he’s not.”

Yan Lan: Don’t you have his WeChat? You can ask him.

“But I dare not. What if he blocks me? what should I do?” Yang Xiaole said with a heavy sigh, “Maybe that day was our last meeting. I still feel a bit unwilling to think about it.”

Yan Lan: I still think you can ask.

Yang Xiaole stopped talking, playing with the edges of the textbook with his fingers. After a few minutes, he suddenly popped up from the table, picked up his phone, “Anyway, I don’t care anymore. Whether it’s life or death, there must be a definite answer. If he blocks me, Momo, comfort me after I cry.”

Yan Lan smiled and nodded.

Yang Xiaole opened WeChat and sent a message to the person with a kowtowing expression.

After sending it, he quickly turned off the screen and threw the phone into the drawer of the desk, lying on the table with his face buried, pretending to be dead.

Yan Lan sat beside him, propping up his chin, watching him and accompanying him in silence.

They waited until the bell rang for the next class, and Yang Xiaole’s phone in the drawer didn’t ring.

Seeing the professor come in with a book, Yan Lan gently shook Yang Xiaole’s shoulder.

Yang Xiaole, with red eyes, sat up and opened the textbook.

In the evening, Yan Lan bought a salad and a cup of yogurt for Yang Xiaole, who was in a bad mood.

Yang Xiaole, with a heavy heart, stabbed the purple kale in the box with a disposable fork, looking like he had no appetite.

Yan Lan picked up the pen and wrote: Do you want to check again? Maybe there’s a message, but we didn’t hear it.

Yang Xiaole, with a look of distress, said, “I’ve checked it. No reply. But he didn’t block me either.”

Yan Lan: Maybe he’s too busy to see it. He’s a pretty famous star, right? It’s understandable.

“Nana never had such a situation when she messaged him before. He probably saw it but didn’t want to reply. I’m not worthy of his reply. He probably doesn’t even bother to block me…”

Yang Xiaole’s discouraged words hadn’t finished, but the phone he casually threw on the table suddenly made a ding sound.

Both of them turned their eyes to the phone involuntarily.

After several seconds, Yang Xiaole still didn’t move. Yan Lan asked him puzzledly, “Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Yang Xiaole lowered his head. “I feel like it’s not him.”

Yan Lan: Open it and take a look, then you’ll know.

After a while, Yang Xiaole, perhaps mentally prepared, suddenly reached out and grabbed the phone, opening WeChat.

There was a number 1 on the profile picture of the chat that was pinned. He could see the reply from Bian Xianyang without opening the chat.

[It really looks like you.]

Yang Xiaole was confused for a second about what resembled him. When he opened it, he realized that Bian Xianyang was referring to the kneeling and kowtowing emoji he sent.

[why are you texting me?]

Looking at the new popped-up message, Yang Xiaole felt his heart tremble.

[I just want to ask if you’re still having steak this weekend?]

[Not eating.]

[Oh…]

Yang Xiaole turned off the screen, put the phone back on the table, looking melancholic. “He doesn’t want to eat steak.”

Yan Lan comforted him: Maybe he’s just busy or possibly on a diet. You know, stars have to manage their figures, can’t have too much meat and fish.

Yang Xiaole didn’t say anything, buried his head and finished the salad and yogurt. After he cleaned up the box and the table, the phone rang again. He didn’t think it might be from Bian Xianyang. When he picked up the phone, he seemed somewhat absent-minded.

As a result, when he clicked it open, he saw a very dissatisfied Bian Xianyang.

[Is this your attitude? I say I don’t want to eat, and you just reply with an ‘Oh’?]

Yang Xiaole squinted at the seemingly unreasonable words. After knowing he was a man, Bian Xianyang became a rising star in the awkward realm.

[If you don’t want steak, I can make other dishes for you, as long as you’re willing to let me go to your place this weekend.]

[you can come.]

[Happy.GIF]

After that, Bian Xianyang did not reply again. Yang Xiaole put down his phone, tied the garbage bag, and said, “I have plans for the weekend, Momo. I’m going to his place, to be his maid, the Conch Girl.”

Looking at his obviously happy face, Yan Lan felt a bit more relieved, and a smile appeared on his face: Good, don’t cry, but if you cry, remember to tell me where you are, and I’ll come find you.

Yang Xiaole hmmed, thinking about that night when Yan Lan waited for him at the school gate for who knows how long. His heart felt both sour and tender. “Momo, after you graduate and get married, can you also not be too far away from me? I don’t want to lose you.”

Yan Lan wrote down a line: Neighbors?

“Be neighbors with Xie Yun Zhi? That’s too difficult… Let me check if there are any apartments or rental houses within five kilometers of his house.”

Yan Lan: It’s too early to talk about this now.

“Not too early. I know you’re considering being a day student. After this semester ends, you will definitely move to Xie Yun Zhi’s place… Damn it! This man just took away my Momo like this!”

Yan Lan smiled: Even if I’m a day student, we can still see each other in class.

“What if we graduate?”

Yan Lan: We won’t be apart even if we graduate because we are the best of friends.
