Guys, it seems fate is playing with my emotions these days. After moving half across the globe a couple of months back I am again being coerced(aka forced) by my husband to move 1500 miles further down in south.....:( Though my travel dates are not confirmed as per now but it's expected to be by the end of this month. Due to this I may not able to post very regularly for a month or so. Dear Readers, please co-operate with this poor soul...
Chapter 13: A dusky evening on the island (2)
Romance after the dusk’s words interrupted my thoughts: “What, did you freeze? Let’s go sit in a bar for a while.”
Although I and Romance after the dusk met for the first time, but whether good or bad we still were acquaintances so I nodded in response. Anyways, currently I was really bored and Jiang Li would not deign to go out with me.
Then an Asian girl with a fine hot body and gleeful face greeted ‘Romance after the dusk’ not from far, he told her: “You go ahead first; I have to catch up with a friend.”
That beauty looked at me carefully from top to bottom, presumably determined that a person like me did not constitute a threat to her, so kissed ‘Romance after the dusk’ and then just left merrily.
Spontaneously, a feeling of frustration hit my heart.
‘Romance after the dusk’ staring at the receding figure of that beauty said: “I really like a traditional Asian woman.”
I looked at the bikini clad hot body of that beauty and exclaimed internally: This was actually………too traditional!!!!!
After ‘Romance after the dusk’ and I sat down, I ordered a cocktail.
I looked at ‘Romance after the dusk’ and asked: "How did you recognize me here?"
‘Romance after the dusk’ laughed: "If I did not recognize you, then I would have to apologize to the clothes you are wearing."
I suddenly remembered the nickname printed on the back my T-shirt then was finally enlightened. So at that time ‘Romance after the dusk’ had just guessed? If I had blatantly denied then it would had been good…….
But, I still felt like I was dreaming, like I was in a trance, after all there were just too many coincidences, coincident enough to make people doubt that they’re in an incredible dream.
‘Romance after the dusk’ finding me stupefied, nudged me with his elbow a bit, said: "Hey, what are you thinking"
Me: "Nothing, I just can’t believe that it’s all coincidence.”
‘Romance after the dusk’ very proudly said: "This is fate, if there is grace, even thousands of miles apart can still meet, that’s us.”
I really felt helpless in front of such fate.
“Romance after the dusk’ continued: “My name is Wang Kai, what’s yours?”
His name did not suit his face. I wondered since God wants us to meet here thus fate was indeed a bizarre thing, I really would not dare to have an opinion anymore, so generously told my name: “My name is Xiao Guan Yan.”
Wang Kai heard my name and started laughing: “Xiao Guan Yan, huh? I also know a Xiao Guan Yan, it’s truly a coincidence, why don’t I introduce you two to each other?”
I felt that he was purely trying to get familiar with me so said: “No need.” I was reluctant to know more about him.
With a rather bigger smile he said: “I knew you would not believe, but then again as both of you are women so you don’t need to meet.”
His tone was not very gentlemanly, I was certain that he must have fooled around with that other woman. Looked like the young master in front of my eyes was a womanizer in real life, living a very exciting private life or it could be said a very chaotic private life. Such men, although were not quite my taste but generally were known for ‘advancing and retreating’ and would not unilaterally embarrass any woman. Women encountering this kind of man, as long as were careful, no harm would be done. Of course if his personality was extremely corrupt then there was nothing to discuss.
Wang Kai saw how I was sitting blankly, in a dis-satisfactory tone said: "You are thinking something again, do you think I have intentions towards you?”
I coughed a little to hide my embarrassment and said: “No.”
He smiled carelessly: “What you think doesn’t matter; I anyway have intentions towards you.”
I could not stand such brazen people, had no other way but to say: “I don’t like this type of jokes.”
"Then we should change the subject.” He was about to say something when suddenly his phone rang. He pulled out his mobile phone: “Excuse me; I have to take this call.”
I bowed my head and started sipping my cocktail, secretly gloating over the bill this guy had to foot. You know, the Chinese callers who take calls in Maldives, have to pay twenty dollars per minute.
But soon, due to my ‘no angel’ attitude I had to pay a huge price.
yeeey, new chapter!! than you for your hardwork :))
ReplyDeleteI smell something brewing with that wang kai guy XDD
Thanks! Take care and settle down at your new place before continuing.
ReplyDeleteWow....this Romance after the dusk dude seems kind of iffy for me.......he doesn't seem to be the love rival I initially thought of. ....she is hilarious, thinking of phone bills when he is obviously a a rich man. ....
ReplyDeletethanks for the update! :)
Oh no.....you have to move again !?That really sucks...... I hope that your move will be nice and smooth! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you and good luck...
ReplyDeleteHello! I've been reading your translations for a long, long time now. I've always wanted to post on your blog.But unfortunately, it is rather difficult to do so... After several times (each with several attempts), I finally managed!! Yeah!!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I just want to say a big THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication for sharing this story to us!
Poor Pratii! Good luck for your move!! :D
Thanks for the translation! There's something definitely shady about this guy. Good luck with the move!
ReplyDeleteHello fellow readers, just quickly wanted to inform you that I will be posting the new chapter within a day or two.
ReplyDeleteHey Pratii, hope you settle in, soon. Thanks for translating
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Wang Kai aka dusk seems to be a player in contrast to Jiang Li. I'm beginning to be leaning towards the hubby. Heh.
ReplyDeleteThanks pratii.
Thank you....hope she will not be conned...
ReplyDeleteI just keep thinking there is something very fishy going on. i imagine all kinds of scnarios. In one Wang Kai is friend of Jang Li and they are in cahoots to test her sincerity since Jiang Li, though not gay, has huge distrust of women. Also I started to wonder if he runs all the time he is supposed to be running. In another Jiang Li is Wang Kai in a wig. Haha--and she doesn't even recognize him--but that would be too idiotic even for her I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
