Chapter 348: The Vlog
The video shakes and then Lily appears in the frame. She seems to put the DSLR on the table and
then steps back to sit in the sofa in the background.
Louis sees that she is wearing a thin pink long-sleeved knit dress. This video looks like it was recorded
in the early autumn. She blinks her watery eyes, looking slim and beautiful.
Louis stares at her in a daze.
He realizes that love is very hard to explain. Even though they broke up a long time ago and he used
his work to divert his attention, but even now when he sees her face, he can’t help but think about her.
He still thinks about how is she living abroad, is she is still slim or has she gained weight. He still thinks
about the times when she was around.
“Hi!” Lily in the video waves her hand at the camera and starts to talk to herself, “I am recording this
vlog to keep a record of my current beauty before I turn old and ugly!”
She fixes her hair a bit, purses her lips and smiles slightly, “Of course, there are many things that have
been buried in my heart and I want to use this opportunity to say them.”
“Hmm… I haven’t decided if I want to record such videos in the future or not.” She pauses on purpose
and waves her hand in front of the camera.
“Even if no one sees it, I still want to share a happy piece of news. Yes, I am engaged!”
Lily wrinkles her nose and murmurs, “But this ring is only from the event. The young couple didn’t want
it so they gave it to us. Alas! Louis hasn’t even proposed.”
Louis can’t help but laugh.
If he knew that she paid such attention to detail, he would have definitely prepared a romantic marriage
proposal for her.
It’s a pity they broke up.
Louis regrets. In the video, Lily suddenly smiles brightly at the camera, her eyes lighting up beautifully,
“But it doesn’t matter. I am very happy to be with Louis.”
“Louis, if you happen to see this video someday, I want to tell you that I love you a lot and I don’t mind
that you are not completely perfect.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After speaking, she raises her head and laughs, then says to herself, “No, no! I’m wrong! Louis, you
just don’t pay attention to small detail, you are still perfect. You are a very qualified boyfriend.”
She repeats the sentence with certainty, “Really, a super qualified boyfriend!”
“Louis, you are not only a great boyfriend but also a great teacher.” Lily looks at the camera with a
slight smile, “I learned a lot from you. You taught me to grow.”
“My parents got divorced when I was a child, so I didn’t feel much about love and I was a little scared of
it. Although there were boys chasing after me when I was studying, I ignored them and focused on
studying.”
She lowers her head as if she was reminiscing, and whispers, “I just wanted to make money at that
time. The more the better, to help reduce my mother’s burden. Then I got admission in the Research
Institute of Translation of University of Newcastle.”
“On my first day at the translation institute I met John. We became quite friendly. He asked me for a
date and I agreed without thinking. He was my first love and taught me that not all men were the same.
Not all men abandon their wives and children like my father did.”
She continues after a pause, “But we didn’t date for long. In order to get rid of the shadow he left
around me, I hurried back here and found a nice man to marry. At that time, I still didn’t know what was
love. I just wanted to have a safe space for myself.”
She smiled at the camera, “Louis, if you see this you will be so angry and jealous. You will think, I am
going to marry you, why do you still remember your ex?”
“Because after being with you, I finally understood the meaning of love.” Lily looks at the camera
seriously, “I understood love in an instant. When you love someone, you get angry because of him,
happy because of him. Because you love him, as long as he apologized you can forgive.”
“I am very grateful to John. He taught me what it feels to like someone; it is not love but pure liking. I
am also very grateful to Jason. He spent the most difficult time with me. I even thought about living like
that forever, but…”
In the end, Lily doesn’t finish her sentence but smiled mischievously at the camera, “Louis, you should
be grateful to them too, otherwise you won’t have been able to meet such a beautiful me.”
“I spoke so much nonsense just to let you know, Louis, how much I love you and want you to
understand my heart. Louis, I want you to be with me forever, are you willing to?”
She coughs and says solemnly, “I know that you are excellent, and that there are countless women
chasing you but I am also not that bad. Even though my family is poor they are still very smart, right?”
“I keep telling you that I want to learn more and want to work on my own. It’s true, it’s for you and also
for me. I am capable enough. I don’t want to be called just a pretty face and keep you around just with
my beauty.”
After saying that, she sticks out her tongue and whispers, “Of course, I am not pretty, but I am better
than 80% of women! You can’t refute it; you know that too!”
Louis watches her mutter to herself in the video. He has a strange expression on his face, his heart
gradually softens and the anger that has been accumulated in his heart for more than a month
suddenly disappears.
He touches the screen with his fingers wanting to touch her face, his eyes are soft and gentle, “Yeah,
you are the prettiest!”
“Lily, what are you muttering there?” Daisy’s voice comes from somewhere in the background in the
video.
Louis sees the camera shake a bit and Lily disappears the next second. He can only hear slippers
walking on the floor and the sound of Lily talking to daisy.
Lily seems to follow her mother to the kitchen, clinging to her and acting like a baby, “Mom, have you
ever learned embroidery? Can you help me make a set of traditional embroidered wedding dress?”
“Are you and Louis getting married?”
“Engaged! We just got engaged.” Lily corrects her, a little embarrassed, “But it will be a matter of time
before we get married. Mom, can you help me make one.”
Daisy says, “If I have materials and pictures, then I can do it. But embroidering a wedding dress is not
an easy task. If I do it myself, I will have to embroider it for at least three years. Don’t you want to buy a
wedding gown when you get married?”
“No, I want to get married in the wedding dress that you embroider.”
“This will be your second marriage, why do you have so many requirements.” Daisy’s tone is a bit
disgusted, “Louis’s is so good, he can get any woman he wants. How did he fell in love with you?”
“Are you even my mother? Besides, I only got the marriage certificate with Jason, nothing else
happened!”
“It’s not his second marriage.”
“Then should I go find a man who will also be having his second?”
Daisy immediately says, “Louis is perfect. I was just saying, don’t go finding someone else. You won’t
find anyone as good as Louis.”
“My wedding dress…”
“Let me finish my work, then I will find the materials needed for you.” Daisy says, “But three years is too
long and Louis is not young. You can’t keep him waiting. Let me see if I can find people to help me with
the embroidery. If a few people do it together then it will only take us seven or eight
months.”
