Chapter 916: Waves in the Mediterranean (I)
(a)
Many of the elders in the family disagree with my attitude towards changing boyfriends frequently.
In private, the old people said that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and my attitude is simply a copy of my father's young Meng Lang.
However, my father was very understanding and tolerant of me, and he was not very opposed to my attitude towards choosing a mate.
My father always said to me, "You should be so selective about who you want to marry, because it's the biggest investment of your life." Any other investment, even if it fails, still has a chance to be recovered. But only your life, your youth, once you choose the wrong one, there is no chance to recover it. Marriage is serious, but it is also sacred. ”
He said, "So, I won't interfere with your change of boyfriend." But I hope you can do better than me, girls have a shorter youth than men, and I want you to be a little more efficient. ”
He said: "Falling in love has to be paid, and dating has a cost. I don't want to see my daughter always struggling to make ends meet. ”
My father patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm sure you'll meet someone who loves you deeply." But, it's better that you meet sooner. If you're like me, and you're over 40 years old, I'm not sure I'll live long enough to take your arm and deliver you to the bridegroom. ”
(b)
With my father's strong demand for efficiency, I finally settled down at the age of 30 and got married for the first time.
What is surprising is that I did not choose a wealthy spouse who is the right person.
I am married to an internationally renowned equestrian I met during my time in horse racing.
At the time, he was 34 years old, with beautiful blonde hair and dark grey eyes full of affection, and was the best equestrian rider in the world. His demeanor on a horse doesn't know how many girls around the world have fascinated.
We had our wedding on a luxury cruise ship sailing to Antarctica.
The wedding was lavish and solemn, with us exchanging vows of love and diamond rings against the backdrop of centuries-old ice fields and towering icebergs in Antarctica.
We've made headlines and covers in a variety of media outlets around the world.
Even the supplier who ordered my wedding dress and jewelry has been booming for a whole year.
I have not succeeded in any business trade to the level of a global sensation that has not landed me on the covers of so many magazines and the front pages of newspapers. It's so ironic.
Society still has a stubborn and conventional definition of the fundamental value of women.
However, people who are familiar with me are not optimistic about this marriage from the beginning, and they are not optimistic about the pair called "golden boy and girl" by the world.
When we got married, many of our relatives and friends met the bride or groom for the first time.
However, everyone invariably sees that we are very different in temperament, and even, we are not human at all.
My girlfriends know that he is pursuing me with a lot of people, but everyone thinks that we are just playing with each other like those previous relationships.
None of them were not surprised when they heard that I had better decide to marry him.
In terms of my net worth at the time, it was a multi-billion dollar business merger.
They asked me, "What do you like about him?"
Many girlfriends have told me that this person is essentially rough temperament, emotionally changeable, impulsive, and can even be said to be reckless and even ruthless at times, and is definitely not the delicate type of Sven I like in my heart.
They couldn't understand why, after so many choices, I ended up choosing someone they didn't think was a good match for me.
He is not from a famous family. His surname will become my surname after marriage. Many old people in my family secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with this, thinking that his too ordinary and ordinary surname overshadowed the glory of our family.
In a traditional society, our kind of marriage that crosses the door is not allowed. However, the times have changed now, and commoner girls can marry princes, and our kind of unions are gradually becoming commonplace and acceptable.
However, acceptance is not the same as approval.
Everyone's blessings are only based on politeness and politeness.
I know this very well in my heart, and my father knows it very well.
I think he understands it very well in his heart.
The hierarchy of classes is not so easy to cross. Even in the contemporary era of equality.
(c)
Of course, I had to explain to my friends and relatives why I fell in love with him.
I said a lot of reasons, but none of them were really reasons.
The real reason is inexplicable.
And that's because I often see in his eyes, the sparkle in his eyes when you talk about good horses in a long past life.
When you talk about the horses and look at the horses, your eyes shine with the same light.
It made me feel inexplicably intimate and familiar that I couldn't express in any words.
I felt safe and warm.
The way he rode on his horse always fascinated me.
I often dreamed in my sleep that his image and that of you riding a tall horse knocking on the back window of the cabin, pulling me to my horse and galloping away, overlapped and intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish from each other.
But I never mentioned this reason, even to him personally.
(iv)
He and I met at an amateur equestrian championship.
At that time, I also participated in hundreds of amateur equestrian events, won a lot of medals and prize money, and was one of the most well-ranked female riders in the world.
That was the first time he played with me.
When he came up from the racetrack for the first time and complimented me on the quick-paced horse I had just ridden and the way I rode it, I was immediately drawn to his affectionate eyes.
I was so absorbed that I was even a little flustered and incoherent, so much so that I don't remember anything he said to me that day.
The way I looked at him made his heart burn with a man's strong desire.
I looked at him in a trance, and he had the urge to conquer me, a wealthy and celebrity.
The impulse burned him to sleep.
So, with the passion of a hot-blooded horse, in all kinds of fierce ways, he began to pursue me madly.
However, someone told him that this woman is worth a lot of money, has many boyfriends, has seen all kinds of tricks, has a unique personality, and is not easy to get started. Prior to this, many love saints had failed and failed to maintain a relationship for long.
However, with the pride and fighting spirit of a knight, he showed that he was not discouraged and decided to pursue it to the end.
He believes in the power of water drops and stones, and believes in the power of perseverance.
He didn't believe that a young woman's heart could be so cold that it couldn't melt.
