Feng Guang thought about it and realized it was true. She bit her lip and thought for a moment, then took the phone back and held his hands in both of hers, saying, "I still have a lot of jewelry, clothes, and bags. If I sell them all, I can borrow from my friends and pay off your debts, okay?"
“But Fengguang is not a long-term solution.” Yan Gui sighed again, looking distressed and helpless. “For the sake of the Yan family, I can’t give up the Yan family’s company. Now I can only keep pouring money in to barely keep the company from going bankrupt. Fengguang is a bottomless pit. You can help me pay off this debt, but what about next time, and the time after that?”
"I...I don't know either..." Feng Guang has always lived a life of luxury, with no worries about food or clothing, and has never worried about money. Yan Gui is right, she can help him the first time, but what should she do next?
“Fengguang, you know…” Yan Gui bent down to look at her, “Your father will eventually find out that we’re together. I’m no longer the rich kid he’s looking for. He won’t approve of us being together. Maybe we should…”
“No!” Feng Guang shook his head. “You can’t just bring up breaking up. My dad doesn’t want me to be with you. It’s okay if he doesn’t want to give me money. We can work together and we’ll definitely get through this.”
Yan Gui looked at her serious face and couldn't say a word.
Feng Guang had already taken off the bracelet from her wrist. She walked over and handed it to Skeleton Brother, "This is a bracelet designed by Nichos. My dad spent a lot of money to buy it. I'll give this to you first as part of the repayment, okay? As for the rest, I'll go back and get all my jewelry for you. Oh, and..."
She then rummaged through her bag and pulled out a few cards. "There's some money in here too. I'll give it all to you. Could you give us a few more days? I'll give it to you as soon as I've raised enough. Please don't make things difficult for Yan Gui, okay?"
Skeleton Bro held the bracelet in one hand and the bank card in the other. He glanced at Feng Guang, then turned his gaze to Yan Gui.
At this moment, Yan Gui fell into an unknown silence.
Seeing that Skull Brother didn't speak, Feng Guang clasped her hands together and pleaded pitifully, "I know that debts must be repaid, but I beg you, please give us three more days, just three days, okay?"
Suddenly, Yan Gui's voice came from behind her, "The scenery."
"Hmm?" Feng Guang turned around to look at him.
Yan Gui lowered her eyes and said, "You are the eldest daughter of the Xia family, high and mighty. You are the one who should beg others, not the other way around."
“But… what you owe someone, you must repay.” This was Feng Guang’s principle. She tugged at Yan Gui’s hand. “We can’t repay them now, so we can only ask them for some time to forgive us.”
It was clearly the money he owed, yet she used the word "we."
"Since you can't repay it... why not give up?" Yan Gui paused for a second, then said in a low voice with obvious confusion, "Didn't you say that if we were not a good match, you would choose to leave? It's like, even if Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were together, Zhu Yingtai might still have trouble making a living, while you, in your glory, are not used to a hard life."
"I was just joking with those words, why did you take them seriously?" Feng Guang stamped her foot and solemnly declared, "Yan Gui, I am not Zhu Yingtai, and you are not Liang Shanbo or Ma Wencai. As long as I am with you, I can try my best not to rely on my parents and go through everything with you and live a life that I am not used to."
"This kind of life... will be very tough."
"It's alright," she smiled. "As long as you're still here, that's enough."
The afterglow of the sunset bathed her, as if draping her in a veil; at that moment, all the scenery in the park seemed to consist only of her.
Yan Gui suddenly felt that the sunlight today was too dazzling.
