CHAPTER 482

"Chaoxiang... I don't want to..." Ning Xiaozhi cried as she hugged his waist tight.

She could not even bring herself to utter the words her mother had told her. She felt torn inside. More and more tears poured from her eyes.

"You don't want to what? Why are you crying? Did something happen? Is it about the phone call?" Ye Chaoxiang asked all the while holding her as tight as she held him.

He had decide to check up on her since she was taking longer than usual with the call. But he had not expected her to be squatting and crying all by herself.

Not only that, Ye Chaoxiang was getting a bad feeling about her crying. He has never seen her cry like this before. The Ning Xiaozhi he knew always had a cheerful smile on her face.

Even if she cried, it was happy tears just like when Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin's relationship became official at the hospital.

Apart from her happy tears he has never seen her cry so hard that her body shook and her breathing became laboured. The space between his brows furrowed more.

"Calm down, darling. Calm down. Take deep breaths and then tell me what happened," he whispered to her as his hand rubbed her up and down her back in a soothing manner.

"Chaoxiang, I don't want to get... to get married," Ning Xiaozhi finally choke out those words with her teas still flowing like and opened dam.

Ye Chaoxiang was dumbfounded. If he had never been confused in his life, then today would mark the end of that.

"I don't get it. If you don't want to get married, then we can just be as we are now. There is no rush as far as we want to continue to being together... Right?"

When Ning Xiaozhi shook her head, Ye Chaoxiang felt as if his soul had left his body to God knows where. Her little action was giving him bad signals that made his heart thud loudly in his ears.

Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi was also confused. But her confusion was not like his. Rather, it was on the way he had gone stiff.

Ye Chaoxiang's was not saying anything and the movement of his hand of her back had stopped. It her frown before she raised her head to see what was the matter with him.

Ye Chaoxiang was just staring down at her with his eyes slightly wider than normal. His face had turned a little pale and she could see a mirage of emotions flash through his eyes.

There was pain, fear, doubt and most of all... there was confusion.

"Ch-Chaoxiang? Are you alright?" There was worry evident in her voice. She can placed the back of her palm on his forehead to check if he was running temperature.

"Why?" Ye Chaoxiang's voice cell out in a whisper.

"Huh?"

"Why do you not want to... You don't love me anymore?" He asked.

"Of course I do. I will alway love you... But why are you asking me that now? It is not what I am worried about," Ning Xiaozhi could not help but ask.

"If that is not it then why did you–"

"My mother," she quickly spoke. "My mother... she wants me to c-come home to... to meet with a man she and my father wants me to get married to."

As soon as the last words fell out of her lips, tgebtears that she had managed to control broke loose again. As for Ye Chaoxiang, he felt as if someone had smashed a glassware on his head.

"You said what?" He asked in daze.

Man, prents, marriage everything equals arranged marriage. Those were the things his mind could out together and the interpretation his brain gave to him.

"My mother set up another man as my suitor for marriage. She wants me to come home before the end of the coming week... I don't want to get married to anyone, Chaoxiang. I don't want to be with anyone of not you," Ning Xiaozhi cried.

Ye Chaoxiang now understood the while thing as her explanation for him a clearer picture. For a quick moment, he was relived. Relieved that she still loves his m and wants only him.

But in the next moment, he became sad and angry. Sad that his woman was being arranged up for some other man. Sad that it is all against her will and sad at seeing her cry so much.

As for his anger, it was directed to her parents. In fact, it was to all those parents that go ahead arranging for their children to get married to people they know nothing of.

What happened to love? Don't they know the word? Or is that they don't see it as a relevant factor in the topic called marriage?

How can they give out their only child just like that?

"I- I tried to tell her that I already have someone I love and want but she gave me no chance to even refuse on going," Ning Xiaozhi's tear pain voice pulled Ye Chaoxiang out of his training thoughts.

"I don't want to go back there... I don't want to just do whatever she tells me to. It is my life not hers. So why can't she just let me do what I want with it?"

p Ye Chaoxiang just kept quiet as she cried and vented out all her frustration and helpless anger through her tears and words.

With every sound of her sobs, he could feel a sharp pain in his chest. If felt as if little needles were picking his heart.

"I don't want to get married to anyone but you. You can't let marry someone else, Chaoxiang. Say something," his sweater that was fitted into her hands tug tightly as she shook him.

"I won't let you get married to anyone. You are mine and I won't let anyone take you away from me. I promise.
