Good Evening, Mr President!

Chapter 45: I no longer want to go to the States.

The man reached out and patted her head. “I’m looking for a wife for myself, though. You ultimately can’t become my wife, can you?”

Alas, she was just about to excitedly ask “Why not?” when he continued saying, “Besides, you’re not the type I like! I don’t want to find someone difficult to manage like you for my wife…”

With that, he turned around and left for the study.

What seemed to be a careless remark from the man, however, was akin to sharp thorns piercing deep into her heart when she heard those words. All of a sudden, her heart started to ache tremendously.

Chi Yi did not eat dinner that night.

Instead, she stayed in her bedroom and diligently worked on her homework despite her foul mood. The lass completed them all, save for those she did not know how to do, which she seriously circled them with a colored pen, intending to consult her tutor the next day.

Her mind was set. No longer did she want to study abroad, instead, she wanted to remain in the country and attend college in a city where her uncle resided. She refused to be separated from him — not even for a day!

At the thought of this, it then occurred to her that she had yet to share her decision with her parents. Her phone rang just then. It was a timely call from her father, Chi Zhonglei.

“Dad, I have something to discuss with you!” Chi Yi said into the phone as she bit on her pen.

“What is it, dear? Do tell.”

“You have to agree to it before I say anything more,” she coyly replied.

“You haven’t even said anything yet. How am I supposed to know what it’s about?!”

“Well, just promise me first!”

“Alright, alright. I give you my promise. Now, tell me!”

Having gotten her way, the girl smiled smugly. “I no longer want to attend college in the States! I wanna stay here and attend a local city college!”

“You’re not coming over?”

Chi Zhonglei’s tone suddenly became stern as he flatly refused his daughter’s request. “No! I can’t agree with that! You have to come to the States with us. Leaving you alone back there already has your mom and I so worried about you. Every day, we would worry about you being disobedient and causing trouble for your uncle and grandparents. Besides, we don’t feel safe about leaving you alone. No, no. You have to come to the States with us! I can’t agree with this request of yours!”

“Dad—” Feeling depressed and aggrieved, she pouted her lips.”How can you go back on your word?!”

“Child, I can promise you anything but this! Your mom and I can’t wait to have you by our sides, but now you’re telling me that you won’t be coming over for the next four years as well. Are you bent on making things hard for me?”

“Dad, you’re making things hard for me as well by forcing me to go abroad…”

“How is that so? Don’t you want to stay by our side?”

That question had her eyes brimming with tears.

I don’t want to stay by their sides? Of course, I wish I could… but…

What am I supposed to do when I can’t bear to leave Third Uncle as well?!

She pouted. “Let me think about it again then…”

With that, Chi Yi ended the call. Her mood now had plummeted further into the pits and was getting worse.

She dared not imagine the day when she would have to leave for the States. What’s going to happen to me, then?

By then, it will surely be tough for me to meet Third Uncle for even once a year?

If that’s the case, I think I will surely go insane! In fact, mad from all my longing for him!!
