You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 410 I Like You So Much
Nina was sure that the person in front of her was the girl from whom she snatched a chicken drumstick when she was a child. Her eyes did not lie.
No wonder Vicente looked so familiar, and talking with her was like talking with an old friend.
"Who knows whose drumstick you grabbed? I don't even like drumsticks." Although Vicente said that, she felt warm in her heart. It turned out that Nina had not forgotten about her.
Nina was the first friend she made when she was herself, not Vicente.
"Still so stubborn," Nina pouted.
"Humph!" Vicente smoothed her hair. "Now that you know I'm a woman, when will you marry me? If I don't keep my eye on you, I'm afraid you'll make trouble for me."
After finding out Vicente's biggest secret, Nina did not feel nervous at all. On the contrary, she felt extremely relieved. "Now I know that you're masquerading as a man, and you know that I'm pregnant. Why don't we call it even?"
"We can't call it even." Vicente snapped. "I didn't force you to tell me about your pregnancy. You told me of your own accord. It has nothing to do with me."
Nina did not have a response to that.
Who on earth said that Vicente was mature, steady, polite, and gentle? It was not true.
The crowd's judgment was not sound at all.
"Okay," Nina responded calmly.
As expected, Vicente was stunned. "Just okay?"
"Or what?" Nina looked straight into Vicente's confused eyes.
It was Vicente's turn to fall silent. She could say nothing to refute her.
Thinking of her sensitive identity, Vicente warned Nina with a frown, "If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, remember that I'm Vicente now. My sister, Vicki, died at the age of three."
Her real name was Vicki Nangong, and she and Nina met when they were children.
Nina grabbed her chicken drumstick on her birthday and sat with her for a long time. Then, she disappeared, leaving Nina not knowing her name.
No wonder Nina couldn't find Vicky anymore. It turned out she had assumed a new identity as Vicente.
'Where is the real Vicente?'
Nina thought to herself.
"And my voice," Vicente started, shifting from a female voice to a male voice. "I only use my female voice when I'm here on the second floor. Only a few people can get through the retinal scan. After you marry me, I'll also grant you access."
Vicki's voice pulled Nina away from her thoughts. She found herself asking, "Aren't we friends?"
"Who wants to be friends with you? I want us to be more than that." Slowly and deliberately, Vicente approached Nina and put her arm around her waist. She raised her eyebrows as her eyes gleamed with flirtation.
Now that her identity had been made clear, Vicente no longer had the slightest reservation about being intimate with Nina. In fact, he had become bolder.
"Oh, my God! Your waist is too thin!" Vicente was shocked
as soon as she touched Nina's waist. When Nina felt Vicente's hand on her waist, her first reaction was to reach out and hold her hand. She slid her right foot between Vicente's feet, disrupted her balance with a forceful sweep, and threw her to the floor.
Nina easily brought a person down.
"Ah..." As she fell, Vicente let out a miserable shriek. The impact shook even her internal organs.
She gritted her teeth and stared at Nina. "I was just admiring your slender waist and praising you. What did you bring me down for?"
"Only my husband touches my waist." Nina coldly looked at her old acquaintance who was still lying on the floor and curling up in pain. Then, she thought of something and took two steps back, away from Vicente.
Vicente stretched out her hand, silently asking Nina to help her up. When she saw her step back, her eyes widened. "So heartless? Why don't you help me up?" "Vicente," Nina began, eyes narrowing. "Do you really like me?"
With Adrian and Henry's example, she had to be careful. What if Vicente had changed her sexual preference in the years that she had assumed a man's identity? Nina shuddered at the thought.
"You want me to marry you because you like me? You know what I'm talking about," Nina stammered.
Vicente was not stupid. She knew what Nina meant.
"Yes, I like you so much." Vicente got up from the floor and felt a sharp pain in her waist. The pain twisted her features as she snorted. "I fell in love with you at first sight. I fell in love with you when I was a child, and I've liked you for more than ten years now. Even though I knew that you ran away from home, I still waited for you. I know that you are married and pregnant, but I still want to marry you."
Vicente spoke in a sarcastic tone. She walked to the sofa with one hand on her waist and stressed, "I like you so much. Just feel flattered, okay?"
It was her thickly sarcastic tone that made Nina feel relieved. She only assumed a man's identity, not the sexual preference. Vicente was straight as an arrow.
"Are you okay?" Seeing that she was having a little difficulty walking, Nina realized just how hard she slammed Vicente onto the floor. She was worried about her. "Let me help you."
When Nina was about to help her, Vicente stopped her and said, "No, no, no. You're a princess.
I don't deserve your helping hand." Nina rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you remember that when you were practically scolding me earlier? You were so mean to me."
Vicente knitted her brows at the princess.
The confused look in her eyes seemed to say, "Was I really mean to you?"
Nina nodded gently and helped Vicente to the sofa. Vicente could only sit straight and dared not move her waist.
"I'll call the doctor over," Nina said, frowning.
Vicente shook her hand and said, "I don't need to see a doctor. This is nothing but a simple pulled muscle. I'll just massage myself, and I'll be fine."
"No." Nina was still worried. She thought of John's waist injury from a fall he suffered when he was trying to save her. "My husband had the same injury, and he spent half a month in a hospital bed." "Half a month?" Vicente was so shocked that she stood up all of a sudden. When she saw Nina nod sincerely, she became nervous. "Call the doctor. Call the doctor as soon as possible." Vicente took out her phone and called the family doctor.
Before the family doctor arrived, Vicente asked curiously, "How did your husband sustain the same injury?"
Nina's eyes dimmed slightly and brimmed with self-blame. "Because of me,"
she said. "And my injury is also because of you." Pointing at her waist helplessly, Vicente still had a lingering fear. She did not want to spend a single day in a hospital, much less half a month.
Nina smiled bitterly, and the complicated expression in her eyes rendered Vicente unable to figure out what was going on in her head. Vicente joked with a smile, "Only your husband and I are kind-hearted and fearless enough to marry you."
Seeing that Nina did not say anything, Vicente once again pressed her previous question. "When on earth will you marry me? I've already prepared everything for our wedding. Now that you know that I'm a woman, I can't take advantage of you. After you become my wife, no one will question your pregnancy. I will raise your child as my own. I'll give you whatever you want. Why do you still need a month to think about it?"
"My ring." Since Nina now knew that Vicente was the girl she had met in the past, she was no longer wary of her. "My mother confiscated the engagement ring my husband gave me. She said she will only give it back to me after I date you for a month."
"That's it?" Vicente asked. "Will you marry me as soon as I get your ring back?"
