Chapter 822: Will You Marry Me In the Future?

Zhuang Long logged into his email. This email belonged to him.

He logged in and saw that he had a few email addresses that he had not read.

Clarice was the only one who knew about Zhuang Long’s email.

Zhuang Long opened his email and frowned tightly after reading it. In the six months that he had been asleep, too many things had happened around Clarice. Firstly, she had been chosen as the heir in the family. She had already started to deal with the family matters.

Clarice became busy, but that wasn’t what made her feel the worst. What really hurt was Julia. Julia had been acting up often over the years, but she had gotten through it. Julia, who was already sixteen, had fallen in love at school with a handsome boy. Clarice had called the boy Bruce in her email.

Clarice told Zhuang Long that Julia and Bruce were very in love. They almost slept together.

However, their relationship was discovered.

The Lawson family did not allow family members to marry outsiders, but they would not forbid the keeping of female lovers or male lovers. However, Julia actually wanted to marry Bruce!

In order to nip this scary thought of Julia in the bud, they had already chosen a husband for Julia. The other party was not a core member of the family, but a branch family that had already started to decline. But no matter what, he was still a member of the Lawson family.

But what really made Clarice collapse was that the man was already 40 years old!

When Julia graduated from university, she would marry that old man!

After Zhuang Long read the email, he did not know how to comfort Clarice. He personally flew to New York. Clarice had not been to school for several years. Her teachers who gave private lessons had already completed their studies. Clarice mostly worked in the company.

Zhuang Long went straight to their company to look for her. When she saw the girl in a red sleeveless dress sitting behind her desk and dealing with work, she was stunned for a moment. Clarice looked up and smiled at him, looking like she was in a good mood.

......

“Wait a moment. Let’s go for lunch together.”

“Okay.”

While Clarice was dealing with the documents, Zhuang Long sat on the sofa reading.

Clarice read books about finance. Zhuang Long specialized in medicine, especially virology. He held a financial book and could not understand a single sentence. Clarice took the book from his hand and even kissed him on the cheek.

Zhuang Long was stunned for a moment. A strange look flashed across his cold eyes.

“Have you finished your work?”

“Yeah.”

Clarice brought him to a luxurious and expensive restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Clarice asked Zhuang Long many questions about school. Zhuang Long picked a few things to talk about. Those contents that he thought were very ordinary were very interesting to Clarice.

“The school is really a good place.”

Clarice’s eyes revealed her yearning.

Zhuang Long noticed it and felt a little depressed.

He took a sip of wine and saw that Clarice was also drinking. She was drinking champagne. She was only 14 years old, but her alcohol tolerance was actually very good. When Clarice drank, she raised her head slightly. Her neck was beautiful and slender. It was obvious that she had been professionally educated.

Zhuang Long suddenly asked her, “Are you tired?”

Clarice said, “Not really.”

“I mean, is this life tiring?” He was referring to whether Clarice felt tired in her life.

Clarice fell silent.

Zhuang Long thought that Clarice would avoid this question. He picked up the knife and was about to cut the food in front of him when he suddenly heard the young man opposite him say, “Ah Long, can you marry me in the future?”

Clang!

Zhuang Long’s knife and fork fell onto the plate, making a loud sound.

The huge commotion made Clarice frown. “Are you frightened by my words?”

Zhuang Long picked up his knife and fork and shook his head, pretending to be calm. “You’re still young. You don’t understand.”

Clarice chuckled and said, “If I want to marry you, I’ll marry you. If I can’t marry you, then it doesn’t matter who I marry.” Clarice touched the back of Zhuang Long’s hand and her expression turned serious. She looked at Zhuang Long’s face and told him seriously, “You gave me my life.”

“I was born to serve the family. If there’s someone worthy of me resisting the entire family, it must be you.” The 14-year-old Clarice was not an ordinary girl. She had seen countless darkness and filth.

Clarice understood everything that she should and should not understand.

She did not know if she loved Zhuang Long, but she could not help but smile when she saw him.

When she thought of Zhuang Long, she would feel that marrying someone else was a very disgusting thing.

Clarice’s words stirred up a huge wave in Zhuang Long’s heart.

Just like Xiao Li, he had also seen darkness before. Because of his parents, he treated relationships more coldly than anyone else. He did not plan to get married. He felt that marriage was a form of torture. Marriage was asking for trouble.

After returning to Cambridge City, Zhuang Long logged into his email and sent an email to Clarice.

Clarice logged into her email in her free time and opened it when she saw the unread email. She saw the content of Zhuang Long’s email—

You’re very good, but I’m too disgusting.

Do you understand? I’m not worthy.

Clarice stared at the email, but what appeared in her mind was the scene of her meeting Herbert by the sea many years ago in the morning. Before dawn, he rolled up his pants and carried a small basket, seriously choosing small purple seashells by the sea.

Clarice always believed that the real Zhuang Long was the Zhuang Long that morning.

When they found the purple shell, they could not help but smile happily.

Clarice said softly, “You’re not dirty. You’re cleaner than anyone.”

For many months after that, Zhuang Long did not contact Clarice again. Some time before Christmas, Clarice flew to Cambridge City alone. She carried the gift she had prepared for Zhuang Long and walked into Harvard Medical School.

The place where Clarice appeared was a scenic view.

At 15 years old, she was already more than 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans and a black denim jacket. Her long hair was tied up, and she looked very young. Students passing by could not help but peek at her.

“Hey, look, beautiful girl!”

Someone bumped Zhuang Long’s shoulder and asked him to look ahead. Zhuang Long looked up with a smile and really saw a beautiful blonde girl. Zhuang Long saw that the girl was looking in their direction and even flattered his friend. “She must be looking at me. Who asked me to be handsome!”

“Tsk, you’re clearly looking at me.”

The group of boys got closer and closer. Clarice saw Zhuang Long and was about to walk over with the box in her hand when Zhuang Long turned his head to talk to the boy beside him. He did not notice her at all.
