Chapter 1053: Chapter 1058: Tearing

Petra’s house is nice, big, and considered a mansion in expensive New York. The decor isn’t opulent, but it’s refined and filled with high-tech vibes.

Yang Yi sat on the sofa, Petra’s expression complex, seemingly also a bit lost and helpless. So, after making eye contact with Yang Yi for a while, when she saw Yang Yi about to stand up and hug her, she quickly asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "I don’t feel like drinking anything, especially not coffee, I’ve had too much caffeine today."

"You just came back from the airport, where did you go?"

"Oh, not too far, I went to Washington D.C. for a meeting."

"Did I interrupt you?"

"Yes."

"Uh, sorry."

"No worries, I like it when you disrupt me; I was happy when you called."

Petra tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then softly said, "Sometimes I think you are a real charmer, but... it was your first time last night, right?"

"Absolutely correct, we talked about it last night, uh, it was my first time, and yours too, nothing to boast about."

"Do you often make girls fall for you and then just leave? Or are you gay? Because you really seem to know how to sweet-talk girls."

Yang Yi looked offended, stood up, but Petra, frightened, stepped back, not letting him reach her.

"Don’t be like this, otherwise we can’t talk anymore."

Yang Yi waved his hands, "Let’s drop the topic. I think you are a woman who matches me, that’s all, I’m very picky."

Petra sighed, "Should I take that as a compliment?"

"It must be."

Petra, looking helpless, said, "Okay, if I disturbed you, I apologize, but I really don’t know what to do now. Today, I had a fight with my dad, he scolded me for leaving with you in front of many guests last night, and said I shouldn’t have stayed out all night. I told him I came here, but he... came to see me, he knows I didn’t go home."

Yang Yi calmly asked, "You’re an adult, sorry, how old are you?"

Petra covered her face with her hands, and after a while removed them, then she seriously said, "Twenty-five."

"You are twenty-five, shouldn’t you have your own private space?"

Petra shrugged, "No, actually I don’t. Uh, I had an older brother, but he died in an accident at three years old, and since then, my father has been very strict with me, extremely strict."

"I understand."

Petra waved her arms and loudly said, "But now the problem is my father has arranged everything for me, I haven’t even dated once and he wants me to marry Carlson Medron."

"Do you like that Carlson?"

"I do."

"Hmm?"

"Just like, it’s not love, just that my father thinks I should marry him, and after he spoke to me I didn’t refuse, so suddenly everything was decided, we got engaged, I became a man’s fiancée, I know my father means well, he loves me the most in the world, but... I don’t want to get married!"

"So, have you told your father about this?"

Petra, looking startled, said, "No, I haven’t said it, today was the first time I argued with him, the very first time, and I hurt his feelings, I feel very sad."

Yang Yi stroked his chin, "What do you plan to do?"

Petra hesitated for a moment, then finally said seriously, "I’ve decided to confront him!"

"Oh?"

"I’ll tell him that I don’t like Carlson, so I can’t marry him, I want to marry you!"

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he exclaimed loudly, "Wait, marry me?"

"Yes, I want to marry you. If I must marry someone, I’d rather it be you!"

"Hold on, don’t you see a problem?"

Petra looked puzzled, "What problem?"

"Did you ask me? Did you ask if I want to marry you?"

Petra was startled, then she asked softly, "Would you?"

Speaking truthfully, "Honestly, no, not yet."

Petra was stunned, Yang Yi looked resigned, "Your father has protected you too well, please, haven’t you thought that marriage requires agreement from both people?"

Petra spoke quietly, "I thought you wouldn’t refuse me, I’m pretty, right? And my family is very wealthy, what reason would you have to refuse me?"

"You’re beautiful, your father is wealthy, but there’s a problem, first, I’m wealthier than your father, and then... how long have we known each other?"

Petra sighed, "Okay, I was a bit too impulsive, I seem a bit... foolish."

Yang Yi seriously said, "You’re still young, I’m also young, and marriage is a very serious matter. Are you sure you know me? I’m very clear that I don’t know you very well. Do we have common interests, no, no, no, the simplest question, do you love me?"

Petra paused for a moment, then said, "Love!"

"Eh..."

"Yesterday I didn’t, but after last night, I suddenly fell in love with you, I can’t leave you! I want to be with you."

Petra looked at Yang Yi, "So, do you love me?"

"Well, that question, I can’t answer very clearly, because I haven’t thoroughly investigated it yet, without investigation there’s no right to speak, sometimes, decisions made impulsively are problematic, like..."

"Stop! Cut it out! What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I’m an idiot? You just need to answer love or not love, don’t give me that roundabout talk to dodge the question. I could say that stuff when I was ten."

Immediately, Yang Yi said, "Love, but not especially in love, we’ve only known each other two days, so I love you but it’s not possible to get married right away, is that clear enough?"

Petra looked very disappointed, Yang Yi sighed, "Why must it be marriage? Your father made that mistake, will you make the same mistake? Dear, why can’t we just have a relationship first? Wait until we are both sure the other is the irreplaceable love of our lives, then get married, isn’t that normal and the most common approach?"

Petra spoke softly, "My father and my beliefs, mean I can’t have... you know, last night was a mistake, I don’t know how it happened..."

Yang Yi spoke softly, "We should be together, but you also need to take care of one issue before you talk about marriage with me, don’t forget, you’re engaged!"
