She saw a man walking on the bank, approaching the lake step by step, and he didn't even stop when he was very close to the water.
Aleigha ran over to him and shouted, "Don't do that!"
She hugged the man's body from behind and stopped him from continuing.
"Sir, life is so good. Why do you want to kill yourself? If you die once, you will know how great it is to be alive."
Aleigha had experienced life and death. For her, living was a thing that could not be any better.
"So you've died before?" His smiling voice sounded.
If he spoke with smile, that won't be a seekingdeath man would do, right?
He slowly turned around. Aleigha looked into his smiling eyes, finding he was handsome and elegant.
He was like a piece of jade, gentle and warm.
Would such a person commit suicide?
Looking at his eyes, Aleigha was almost drunk by the tenderness they emitted.
He was totally the other extreme of Adrian. One was cold, and the other was hot.
"Well... Sir, you don't want to die?"
"No, it's just that the handkerchief from my mother fell into the water. This handkerchief was embroidered by her during my birthday. It means a lot to me." His voice was magnetic.
Looking down at his suit, "Indeed, it should be matched with a handkerchief." Aleigha thought, and she saw something in a color similar with his suit floating on the water.
"So, can you let me go now, Miss?"
Aleigha suddenly realized that she still held him. She hurriedly released her hands. She flushed and jumped back.
"I, I'm sorry." She was embarrassed to death. How could she be so stupid to suspect a stranger to commit suicide?
He picked up his handkerchief from the water and looked at Aleigha with a smile. "Now there are less people with a heart of gold like you. Anyway, I appreciate you very much."
Aleigha scratched her head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I've misunderstood you."
"Never mind. Do you live nearby too?" "I stay in a relative’s home for a few days. How can I afford the house here?"
"There are many possibilities for us. Maybe you can afford it soon."
"You're right. I'll definitely be able to afford it later.” She said while thinking of the authorization coming soon, which means tons of money were on the way.
And her mind became lighter. "Sir, nice to meet you today. I'll leave. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
He was such an elegant jade- like man, who pleased Aleigha much.
"How come I loved Adrian in my last life?! I should love a man like him." Aleigha thought.
Probably, on the day she returned home from the countryside, she met the man that she had an engagement with, she deemed him her Mr. Right.
Fortunately, God gave her another chance. In this life, she would choose a man who was really suitable for her.
Within a few steps to leave, the man said, "Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
Aleigha turned around and looked at him with confusion.
"Don't get me wrong, Miss. I just want you to do me a favor."
"What is it?"
"Because my family urges me to get married, but I don't like the young lady they introduced to me. If we were forced to get married, the marriage would definitely harm her.
So, I hope that you can do me a favor and pretend to be my girlfriend, making that lady give up.
I understand that it's a rude request. I will try not to waste too much time of you."
Aleigha had never received such a request before. "Well... it shouldn't be difficult for you to find another woman to help. Sir. Why me?"
"Just because it's easy for me to get other's help, actually, I'm afraid that the person who helped me would pester me afterward. However, as a stranger, I don't think you would do that to me. Miss, you are the best candidate."
