Sunlight and Moonlight SAM

"Love is an unequal exchange'"Jiang Yun Yao said to the man in front of her. She sipped her tea calmly and continued, "I realized why many people from high society despise the Cinderella story because they won't get any benefits from marrying their daughers or sons with the one with lower status. Human nature is selfish. They'll put their interest above others. Like your parents, you and me. We all have different interests which intersect each other. There are only conflict of interests."

She stopped speaking. She gazed out of the floor to criling window, seeing the bustling crowds from the 17th floor she sat in. It looked small, insignificant yet it exist. a trace of melancholy appeared in her eyes. "Now, I know why I don't like Cinderella Story. They only talk about how the Prince and Cinderella love each other - only talk about how they lived happily ever after. But have you ever thought that Cinderella would not necessarily live happily ever after?

"She needs to adjust herself with the Imperial Life. She needs to adjust with her prince's life style. That's the suffering she had to go through. She had to restrict herself from doing what she used to. And the other, would Cinderella become the sole wife of the prince? Or would she become the main wife, or even the concubine of the prince? The status she had, no matter how much she dislike it, she had to swallow it bitterly. She couldn't protest yet she also couldn't free herself unless the prince gave up his status as the prince."

She realized that a love of two people from different classes would not give any happiness unless one of the two gave up on what they have willingly for the other party. Like how Cinderella get rid of her free commoner life for high class life that full of suffocating ethics for the prince.

"In this respect, I don't want to become Cinderella. Instead, I want to become the prince. Do you want to become my Cinderella?" She started at him intently.

"Yes." The man nodded indifferently. Under the table his hands clenched tightly. Only he knew how nervous he was while waiting for the answer.

Jiang Yun Yao beamed. "Ok. Let's go to Civil Affair Bureau tomorrow."

The man stunned in disbelief. "Really?"

Jiang Yun Yao nodded, "Yes. At eight in the morning, sharp. If you come even a second more than that time, this offer will not be applicable any longer."

On the other side of the cafe

Two buns were sitting in front of a laptop seriously. Although they couldn't fully process what their mother said to the man, they could vaguely guess that they would get a father soon.

The energetic looking bun looked at his calm sibling and said, "What do you think about this man?"

The calm sibling replied, "Quiet decent. At least not the type whose peach blossoms were everywhere."

The energetic bun enthusiastically said, "He need to pass our ceremony before he can become our father."

The calm looking bun nodded in agreement. "Yes."

The man who was gleeful in his heart for going to be married his love soon didn't know two little devils were awaiting for his arrival.
