Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 94

"I don't think so. I'm his sister and since he only has me in his life. I have the responsibility to look after him and give the house to him. I think that is the right thing to do. Besides, I can live with you in the future."

Carla put on a shy smile and lowered her head to appear sweet and innocent. Whereas in actual fact, she was choosing her words carefully to deliberately make Ronnie dislike her.

Then she added, "After we are married, you will buy us a new house, right? Before my mother died, she told me that the bridegroom should pay a handsome bride price to my family.

It won't cost you too much money, and you will just need to offer 199, 999. But if you can't afford that amount of money, then I won't marry you."

Ronnie was so shocked by the amount of money that she was asking for, that he choked on his tea and even spat it out of his mouth.

"What's wrong, Mr. Luo? Are you all right?"

Carla blinked innocently at him and handed him a tissue.

With a straight face, Ronnie took the tissue from Carla and wiped the tea from his face and the table.

"Miss Ji, with all due respect, why do you still ask for a bride price when your parents have passed away?

It will just increase our burden."

Carla made a sad face and retorted, "What do you mean? Do you think that I should just let others walk all over me because I have no parents?"

"No, no, no. I didn't mean that at all. I just think that the bride price is just too much. I'm just an ordinary office worker, so I couldn't afford that much money. Well, if you really want to marry me. I will reduce the bride price to just 50, 000. What do you think?"

Since they were getting down to the nitty-gritty side of things, Ronnie thought it was best to be open and blunt about his feelings and thoughts.

After all, he was looking for a woman to marry, so these problems should be nipped in the bud from the very start.

"Besides, I think it would be a better idea to leave your house to our future son. This would ease the burden on us in the future. Don't you think so as well?"

Carla was amused and lowered her head to appear bashful once again, but she did it more so to hide the smile on her face. She had to bite her lower lip hard to stop herself from laughing out loud. Once she had composed herself she made a serious expression and looked up again.

"No, I don't agree with that at all. I have already decided to give two houses to my brother. As for you and me, we can live together in your house.

Besides, I can go to work as well and when we earn enough money, we can buy a new house for ourselves.

The bride price will show just how sincere you really are. What better way to show that than with money, the most practical and useful commodity in the world. So I really think that you should be very generous with your offer when we get married."

After hearing Carla's thoughts, Ronnie suddenly became restless.

In the beginning, he thought since Carla had no parents, he wouldn't have to pay so much money on the bride price. However, he didn't expect Carla to be so demanding and ask for so much for herself and her brother. What was worse, he couldn't even get one of her two houses. He wasn't happy with her ideas at all.

"Well, Miss Ji, you are quite arrogant and are not in tune with the reality of your situation.

You are just a poor girl from a poor family. You should feel very fortunate to have found a man like me. So why do you still bring up so many requirements, given your situation?"

Ronnie uttered, with a sullen expression on his face. Then he abruptly stood up and said, "I have some other matters to deal with, so I need to leave now. The meal is on me."

"Hey, Mr. Luo, don't leave! We can stay here a bit longer and discuss it further,"

Carla called out to him without bothering to even stand up.

After seeing Ronnie leave so quickly, she relaxed and burst out laughing. Shaking her head with a smile on her face, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the food.

Now she had a good appetite and could eat in peace.

While Carla had her head lowered eating her food, she noticed a dark shadow in front of her. When she looked up and saw a man dressed in black standing before her, she was startled and jumped in her seat a little.

"Mr. Noah!"

He took the seat up opposite her. Noah had watched from afar how Carla toyed with her blind date and watched as the man stormed out of the restaurant in a huff.

"What's wrong, Miss Carla? Why have you suddenly gone pale, when you see me here?" Noah asked, looking at her with a friendly and charming smile on his face.

He thought that she was just stunned by his sudden appearance when she was focused on eating her food with relish.

But in fact, Carla was scared half to death. It was a nervous reaction for her to gulp down her food. Terence had told her what sort of man Noah really was and it spooked her when she saw that he had just appeared in front of her from out of nowhere. Carla looked down at her bowl gathering her nerve and then looked up casually and said, "Well, I'm just surprised to see you here."

Carla found that she had a dry throat, yet another nervous reaction and drank all of the orange juice from her glass. Noah raised an eyebrow and ordered another glass of juice for Carla and a latte for himself.

"I happened to notice that you were on a blind date just now. You only look to be in your early twenties. Why are you so anxious to get married so young?"

Carla put down her chopsticks, took a deep breath and managed to calm down a little. "A good friend of mine wanted to introduce us and I didn't have the heart to refuse and disappoint her. So I came here to meet him.

My friend is worried that I might not be able to find a man who will marry me in the future because of my poor stature. So she is anxious to help me find a suitable man now.

I didn't know that you have seen what happened earlier. I'm sorry for that," she remarked.

The waiter arrived with the orange juice and latte, placed it on the table and left.

Noah took a sip of his latte while he looked at Carla with his deep-set amber eyes. "Miss Carla, you're not inferior to others. You're kind and charming. Even though you have to look after your little brother now, he will grow soon enough and lead his own life in the future.

It is a pity that those hypocritical and superficial men can only see your current situation."

Feeling slightly more relaxed now, Carla took a sip of the juice and nodded. "That's right.

I tell my brother to be an independent man all the time. So I believe that he can look after himself without me in the future."

Noah stirred his latte slowly with a spoon as he watched Carla finish the last bit of her food and said, "I nearly forgot. Miss Carla, the Century Amusement Park that belongs to our company is going to open for business tomorrow. I have some free tickets. Since you have a little brother, you can take him there and have some fun."

'Go to the amusement park?

Sean will be delighted about that, '

Carla thought in her mind with satisfaction.

However, when she looked up at Noah, she felt a little intimidated. She wondered whether such a handsome, gentle and friendly man could really be that dangerous.

"That sounds great.

But I have no idea how much homework my brother has. I will check with him when I get back home. It would be wonderful if I can take him there to play,"

Carla responded vaguely. She thought that it would be best to think of an excuse to reject his offer after she got home.

Although she didn't believe everything that Terence had said about Noah. She did, however, think that it was best to be cautious around people like him.

She was afraid that if he really was as dangerous and ruthless as Terence said and she offended him in some way, he may retaliate against her and Sean.

"Miss Carla, are you afraid of me?"

Noah raised his eyebrow and stared at her intently. He was very good at observing people. He could tell by Carla's body language and the expression in her eyes that she seemed afraid of him.

Two days ago, he got news from his men, that Carla once rescued a man and let him stay in her house.

The man's description matched that of Terence of the An family, who had been missing for some time before.

His investigation proved to be correct and the mystery man certainly was Terence An.

Noah assumed that Carla and Terence were still in contact with each other. And, because Terence would surely know of Noah's background, he would most likely have told Carla about Noah.

If that were the case, then it would be meaningless for him to hide his surname from Carla.

And perhaps his plot would be disclosed by others before he had time to take any action.

With this in mind, Noah started to feel enraged, even though he still looked calm on the outside.
