Chapter 65 I'm Not a Delicate Queen

Of course, even though he was already very pleasing to her eye and made her like him to the max.

But ultimately, it hasn't reached the point of being unforgettable.

Moreover, she has always been slow to understand matters of the heart.

All I care about is whether I can live a carefree life with this male protagonist, enjoy his benefits, and live peacefully in the world of this book.

What is this so-called "talking about love"?

I didn't take it to heart at all.

As for cultivating feelings?

It's not even on her current to-do list.

And Fu Li'an, who is the main character, doesn't seem to be much better off than her.

Seeing Qiao Wanyin's sudden anxious look, he, who was usually calm and composed, was at a loss for what to do, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I just... just wanted to confirm one thing."

Qiao Wanyin was slightly stunned, blinked, and couldn't quite figure out what he meant.

"What's up?"

She paused for a moment.

Judging from his tone, he seemed a little nervous?

Feeling a little uneasy again?

Thinking about it carefully—could it be that he's still worried that she has some kind of problem with that He Dayong?

That's seriously underestimating me!

You should know that she is a rational and mature adult.

Let's talk about her, a modern woman who traveled from another time.

How could she possibly develop any ambiguous relationship with the male supporting character from the original work?

Moreover, this kind of problem is not obvious.

She didn't mean it that way at all.

How could he possibly have doubts about something like this?

Fortunately, he used to be a soldier, the kind of person who is decisive and efficient.

Why are they so indecisive when it comes to their own side?

A complex mix of emotions flashed through Qiao Wanyin's heart.

She then raised her chin, her eyes clear and bright.

Her voice was very soft.

"Fu Li'an, do you know that you're so handsome that people envy you?"

She didn't try to be sentimental when she said that.

Fu Li'an was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and his throat bobbed.

Her earlobes had unknowingly blushed with a faint red.

"What?"

How did we end up here?

The topic took an unexpected turn, leaving Qiao Wanyin momentarily dazed.

Qiao Wanyin spoke gently.

"If you're not blind or confused, then of course I'll choose you. How could He Dayong possibly compare to you?"

Her eyes were bright when she said this.

"Look at how handsome you are, you can make people feel happier just walking down the street. Good-looking things always make people feel comfortable and at ease, you know what I mean?"

Fu Li'an: "..."

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

...

That guy is really bold!

He never expected anyone to say something so blunt to his face.

However, on their very first meeting, she dared to barge right up to him and force him to marry her.

That kind of courage is something most people don't possess...

She seems like the kind of person who wouldn't dare to do anything!

He thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Hmm, I think you're quite right."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanyin paused for a moment, her lips twitching slightly.

"..."

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

"Wanyin, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

She composed herself and readjusted to the right track.

Fu Li'an coughed lightly a few times, his voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of probing.

"I'm planning to go back to my hometown in a few days. Could you come with me?"

He didn't say it outright, but he knew perfectly well what was going on.

His mother has been writing letters these past few days urging him to come home for blind dates.

The tone was almost reproachful.

Now that he's engaged to Qiao Wanyin...

Then naturally we should bring someone back to show our parents, so that we can settle the two elderly people in.

Qiao Wanyin gasped and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to meet your parents so soon?"

There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, and her heart began to beat a little faster.

Actually, she was still a little unsure.

As far as she knew, Fu Li'an's parents were both highly educated intellectuals.

In particular, his mother came from a scholarly family, with strict upbringing and extremely high standards.

They have very high requirements for their daughter-in-law's character, education, and family background.

Although Fu's mother was eager to find a partner for her son, hoping that he could settle down and live a stable life as soon as possible.

But deep down, the mother understands that marriage is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly.

Although she was anxious, she was not confused and was unwilling to just settle for any woman.

Although Qiao Wanyin's reputation is no longer as bad as it was at the beginning.

But he still can't be considered innocent.

Especially in this small town, rumors were rampant, and many people were talking about her and pointing fingers.

Meeting your future in-laws at this time is not the most ideal opportunity.

She actually had some hesitation in her heart.

"Are you scared?"

Fu Lian looked at the bright and cheerful girl in front of him and asked in a slightly teasing tone.

He was genuinely a little surprised.

After all, in his eyes, this girl had never seemed like the typical delicate girl.

It's worth noting that she can remain calm and decisive even when facing wild boars in the mountains, and she always acts unconventionally and never plays by the rules.

Thinking of this, Fu Li'an's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

"What...what do I have to be afraid of? Sooner or later, they'll see!"

She forced a smile.

Although the words were spoken with force, the voice unconsciously lowered.

"An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually; there's no way to avoid it."

Fu Lian smiled slightly, her eyes softening: "Where are you ugly?"

When he said this, his tone conveyed an undeniable sense of truth.

Not only is she not ugly, she's practically too beautiful!

He had rarely met a woman as strong-willed yet gentle as her.

Especially those eyes that are always clear and firm.

"Cough cough cough..."

She hadn't expected him to say something like that so suddenly.

Before I could react, I accidentally choked on my own saliva.

He suddenly started coughing.

A faint blush immediately spread across her cheeks.

The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous and tense.

She lowered her head to catch her breath.

She then looked up at him and asked softly, "When exactly are we leaving? I can pack in advance."

Anyway, this is something we all have to go through eventually.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well face it proactively.

The longer I delay, the more uncomfortable I feel. Going sooner will actually put my mind at ease.

"First thing next Friday morning."

Fu Li'an answered decisively.

After listening, Qiao Wanyin pondered for a moment, and finally nodded gently.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

There are only four days left, so I need to prepare well.

During these four days, she needs to quickly find time to go up the mountain to dig up some valuable medicinal herbs.

While the weather is right now, the resources in the mountains have not yet been exploited on a large scale.

Then, use the mysterious space you carry with you to exchange for some white sugar and brown sugar.

Although these supplies are becoming increasingly rare on the market.

Next, we'll figure out a way to take these things to the black market and sell them for a good price.
