Chapter 50

Looking at the moon .

On the plane to England, Zhen Zhen didn’t know why Cheng Yi was looking resentfully at her . She didn’t do anything to upset him .

Huyen Di happily read travel magazines .

‘Cheng Yi, I like this island,’ Huyen Di said .

Cheng Yi regretted raising the bet by betting his island to gain Huyen Di’s island .

‘Huyen Di, what do you think about my apartment building in the city?’ Cheng Yi asked .

‘Cheng Yi, I’ll be generous by letting you visit this island once every three years,’ Huyen Di taunted .

‘Don’t be stingy,’ Cheng Yi said . ‘At least let me visit the island once a year . ’

‘Don’t forget I’m the new owner of this island,’ Huyen Di said . ‘Whoever goes back on their word becomes shark bait . ’

‘Alright,’ Cheng Yi said . ‘Once every three years . ’

‘Cheng Yi, why did you lose to Huyen Di?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Huyen Di and Cheng Yi made a bet whether Miss Zhen Zhen will be going to England with us,’ Bai Yu Tian explained .

‘You two seem free lately,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Huyen Di that island looks like a relaxing place . ’

Cheng Yi was grateful he lost to Huyen Di instead of Yue Gu Zai . If Yue Gu Zai won his island then he wouldn’t get to visit it again even once . He glared at the Bai fox for snitching on him .

In the Charles mansion in England, Helen sulked to Henry Charles .

‘Dad, I don’t want to marry Reynold,’ Helen said . ‘I love William Hill . ’

‘No,’ Henry Charles said . ‘You’re marrying to Reynold . ’

‘Dad, I’m your only daughter,’ Helen said . ‘How can you make me marry a man I don’t love?’

‘Yours and Reynold’s wedding is in a fortnight,’ Henry Charles said . ‘Behave and stay at home before the wedding . Paul, I want you to watch over Helen . She’s not allowed to step foot out of this house before the wedding . ’

‘Yes master,’ Paul said .

‘Dad…’ Helen said .

After sunset, Helen used bedsheets to climb outside the window and runaway .

At the Hill Mansion, the elders refused to let Yue Gu Zai to see William Hill .

Yue Gu Zai climbed into William Hill’s bedroom through .

‘Phil?’ William Hill asked .

‘Um, it’s me,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Were you thinking about your mum again?’

‘Yes,’ William Hill said .

‘Why are you locked in your room?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Since I didn’t want to marry Helen because I don’t love her, the elders are making Helen marry Reynold,’ William Hill said . ‘After their wedding, they’ll pick someone else for me to marry . ’

Downstairs, Zhen Zhen was frustrated Yue Gu Zai made her wait by the car . She wanted to climb the wall with Yue Gu Zai to see William Hill too . She spotted a young woman with blue eyes was standing under William Hill’s bedroom window too .

‘Miss, do you want to climb to up to that bedroom window?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Who are you are?’ Helen asked . ‘Why are you sneaking around at night?’

‘Miss, aren’t you sneaking around at night too?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘I… I’m looking at the moon,’ Helen said .

‘Why are you looking at the moon at the Hill Mansion?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Do you know William Hill?’ Helen asked .

‘I’m his friend,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘I’m Helen,’ Helen said . ‘I’m William Hill’s future wife . ’

‘Hello Helen,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘You can call me Zhen Zhen . You’re Mandarin is good . ’

‘As William Hill’s future wife, I need to know how to speak Mandarin,’ Helen said .

‘Do you want to see William Hill?’ Zhen Zhen asked . ‘I can help you . ’

A while later, after Yue Gu Zai agreed on a plan with William Hill, he wanted to climb out the window to see if Zhen Zhen was safe . But Zhen Zhen and another young woman climbed through William Hill’s window .

Yue Gu Zai and William looked disapprovingly at Zhen Zhen and Helen .

‘She made me climb the wall,’ Helen said .

‘She wanted to climb the wall first so I helped her… OK… I’m worried about William Hill,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Helen, what are you doing here?’ William Hill asked .

‘I’m worried about you,’ Helen said .

‘What about your dad?’ William Hill asked .

‘My dad is making me marry someone I don’t want to marry,’ Helen said . ‘William Hill, let’s elope together . ’

‘Helen, you know I only see you as a little sister,’ William Hill said . ‘I don’t love you . ’

‘I don’t want to be your little sister,’ Helen said . ‘You don’t need to love me . It’s enough that I love you . Perhaps in the future you’ll love me . ’

‘Helen…’ William Hill said .

Helen couldn’t ever get used to William Hill treading on her heart .

‘William Hill, I can dye my hair black and wear brown contacts,’ Helen said and cried . ‘I can change myself to suit your taste . ’

William Hill thought Helen was a good person . He didn’t want to waste her youth on loving him when he didn’t love her .

‘Helen, changing your looks isn’t going to make me love you,’ William Hill said .

‘I don’t care,’ Helen said . ‘I ran away from home because I don’t want to marry Reynold . ’

‘Phil…’ William Hill said .

‘Do you want me to take her home for you?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘No,’ William Hill said . He didn’t love Helen, but he didn’t want her to be in an unhappy marriage . ‘Can you help me take care of her? Helen, make sure you listen to Yue Gu Zai . ’

‘I know,’ Helen said .

Yue Gu Zai safely helped Zhen Zhen and Helen climb down the wall .

William Hill sat alone in his bedroom again . He drank a glass of wine, and looked at the moon .

‘Dad, wherever you and mum are,’ William Hill said . ‘If those old bastards take things too far, I won’t show them mercy . ’
