âAt first, I thought you were a man who pursued perfection, but you donât lack a sense of security, and your confidence is overwhelming, so I couldnât judge, until??? â
Xiao Qian paused, this time it was Yu Minglangâs turn to feel itching, hey, what do you mean by stopping halfway through, finish your sentence!
Xiao Qian knew the art of keeping people in suspense, and kept Yu Minglang guessing until they finished their dinner.
Although Yu Minglang had forcefully put a ring on Xiao Qianâs hand, he still wasnât too sure about her opinion of him.
Care to share?
I wonât tell you!
After dinner, Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong went to pay the bill, Xiao Qian nudged Yu Minglang, who was sitting steady.
Only after Jia Xiufang left, did he speak.
âIâve finished settling the bill.â
He just excused himself to the restroom and settled the matter there.
After paying the bill, he just sat there without moving, and Xiao Qian understood.
He couldnât help but want to know the answer.
âTell me, what do you think of me?â
âYou?â Xiao Qian pretended not to know, scanned him up and down, You re quite handsome, and you look like a decent person. 1 think your children will grow up with the best traits from both parents.â
Even Yuâs big brother, who had overeaten himself into being fat, was still a good-looking man in the fat-circle.
âWhoâs asking you about that? Talk about the real stuff, donât ask knowingly. If you donât tell me, Iâll kiss you right here, and when Aunt comes over, I wonât care that she sees.â
Now that the ring was on, they were just one ceremony away from being engaged, so naturally, they had to be bolder than before, with the thickness of their skin increasing geometrically.
âIâm impressed by you. Come on, give me your ear.â
Xiao Qian hooked her hand, and Yu Minglang immediately brought his ear close.
Xiao Qian leaned into his ear and suddenly smiled mischievously, about to shout âahâ to shock him.
However, Yu Minglang quickly blocked his ear and turned his head to block her as well.
âSis, what are you two doing- Ah! I didnât see anything!â
Chen Zilong covered his eyes and peeked through his fingers, watching as the grown-ups teased each other, it was scary how they kissed and nibbledâ¦
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Minglangâs face was dark, Xiao Qianâs face was red, and Chen Zilongâs sitting position was a bit painful â his violent older sister had hit his still-growing butt with an ashtray!
Only Jia Xiufang, still mumbling in the taxi, was oblivious.
âReally, Ming Lang, how did you pay the bill so fast? I told you to let me pay.
âItâs fine, itâs all the same.â Yu Minglang was itching to know what Xiao Qian thought of him.
Until they sent Xiao Qian back, he still couldnât get the answer he wanted from Xiao Qianâs mouth.
It was getting late, Yu Minglang had to leave because tomorrow he had to accompany his mother to propose marriage. Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong went inside the house, the taxi was still waiting for Yu Minglang to take him back, and Xiao Qian suddenly held his hand.
âMy answer is this.â She stretched out her hand and hugged Yu Minglang into her arms.
âWhen you went into the mountain valley to rescue me, you held me like this, and I knew what kind of person you were. Thatâs why I agreed to try to spend a lifetime with you.â
The cool evening breeze blew, unable to dispel the warmth in Yu Minglang s heart. After Xiao Qian finished speaking, she let go of his hand and turned to enter the house. Yu Minglang held on to her hand, refusing to let go.
Xiao Qian was afraid that the kiss would be seen by her family, so she broke free from his arm and then touched his face.
âGo home, see you tomorrow.â
Yu Minglang reveled in the way, reliving Xiao Qianâs words over and over again.
This was the greatest recognition of him, and the highest honor for him as a man.
Xiao Qian returned to her room, her cheeks still burning, but she didnât regret telling him.
After Yu Minglang caught the bad guy, the hug he gave Xiao Qian and the warmth in his eyes were something she could never forget.
Peopleâs eyes donât lie.
At that moment, Yu Minglang didnât care about anything, his choice to get engaged at this time also proved everything. Not to mention, after the rescue, he didnât ask a single question related to the topic, and even glared fiercely at others when they tried to ask her about it.
During that process, he hugged her all the time, as if she was a treasure he had lost and regained. To have her once more was already happiness; Yu Minglang didnât care about what had happened to her.
Xiao Qian was a woman who held grudges and remembered every kindness; otherwise, why would she have agreed so readily when Yu Minglang proposed?
She only hesitated a little, and then agreed without giving him a hard time.
It was through this experience that she saw Yu Minglang for who he was, a reliable man she could entrust her life to.
After having a pleasant dinner with her future son-in-law, Jia Xiufangâs mood became cheerful, and she sat cross-legged on the bed to chat with Xiao Qian.
They talked about various trivial things, with no particular focus, whatever came to mind.
From the initial memories of their hard past to their current good life, and then looking forward to a bright future, Jia Xiufang sat beside Xiao Qian, wiping tears.
Xiao Qianâs grandmother had been taken away by her second uncle a few days ago. Xiao Qianâs actions had reined in the shameless family, who no longer dared to act up.
Without the burden of taking care of a paralyzed elder, Jia Xiufang had a lot more ease.
Xiao Qian sat by her side, listening quietly to her motherâs endless chatter. After a while, Xiao Qian suddenly asked.
âMom, what if I had been kidnapped by a bad guy? What would you do?â
âHuh?â Jia Xiufang was momentarily stunned by Xiao Qianâs interruption, then shook her head repeatedly.
âIt canât be. My daughter is so smart; how could she possibly be kidnapped?â
Xiao Qian thought of the way Yu Ming Lang bit her lips as he hit her butt and rolled her eyes internally, âEven smart people can capsize in the gutter. What if â Iâm just saying, what if?â
âIf that happened⦠I would take you away, leave this place, and not let those people talk about you.â
What Jia Xiufang thought of was the girl who had suffered misfortune and went mad.
She didnât know how to express it, nor would she articulate it like Xiao Qian and Yu Ming Lang. She just spoke from her ordinary motherly instincts, wanting to protect her child.
âIf anyone dares to touch my daughter, Iâll fight them. Iâll use a knife to cut them. Iâm just an old woman who doesnât have many years left anyway; 111 exchange one life for another!â
Xiao Qian lay in her plump motherâs arms.
âIf there were more mothers like you, fewer girls would be bullied.
It was because some parents were afraid of public opinion and humiliation that they chose to swallow their anger and even not report the incidents.
Moreover, some imperfections allowed certain people to act even more recklessly. Jia Xiufangâs words, although extreme, were most in line with Xiao Qianâs values.
In her past life, it was through the most violent and direct means that she had sought justice for her daughter. She had no regrets and no remorse.
âMom, Iâm really like you, Iâm just like you.â Xiao Qian lay on her motherâs soft belly and lazily said.
Itâs better not to tell her mom about the kidnapping, things are fine as they are now.
âSilly girl, youâre much smarter than mom, and Iâm sure youâll have a better life..â
