Chapter 249 Episode 13

Wen Yujiao casually tossed her hat aside. "Sorry!"

Wen Changyu looked at the young man before him, with short, ear-length hair and a handsome, spirited look in his eyes...

Even though the army commander's grandson had just called out "Little Aunt," Wen Changyu was still stunned at first.

This... is a little girl...

"Ah, it's okay, it's alright," Wen Changyu quickly shook his head.

Wei Zhen continued to berate her daughter, "When are you going to change this crazy habit of yours?"

Wen Yujiao made a face at Wei Zhen.

Then he turned around and grabbed his nephew's ear, "Wen Dongdong, will you dare to do it again next time?"

"Grandma, Grandma..." Seven-year-old Wen Dongdong covered his ears and shouted desperately.

Wei Zhen quickly patted her daughter's arm, "You child, you...you better let go of me right now."

As she spoke, she kept turning back to look at Wen Changyu, as if afraid that her daughter would scare him away.

Wen Yujiao ignored him and asked her nephew, "Would you dare to do it next time?"

Seeing that his pleas for help were useless, Wen Dongdong could only beg for mercy, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again!"

Wen Yujiao then let go of her hand.

Wei Zhen "..."

"Little Wen, come inside and sit down," she greeted Wen Changyu, her honest face carrying a hint of ingratiation, as if afraid that this young man would turn around and leave.

Wen Changyu nodded.

Wei Zhensong breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid that the young man would be scared away the moment he walked in.

Just like all the young men who had gone on blind dates with her daughter in the past, without exception, they were all scared away by her daughter's appearance and behavior.

My daughter's reputation is completely ruined back in our hometown.

Everyone knows that the Wen family has a shrew. There's a legend in their hometown that mentioning Wen Yujiao's name can stop children from crying at night.

Having exhausted all other options, her husband finally thought of finding a suitable match for their daughter from the military.

After all, the young men in the army are generally strong and can withstand a beating.

After careful consideration, Commander Wen decided that Wen Changyu was the most suitable candidate.

Not only is he tall and strong, but he is also young and promising. Of course, most importantly, he has excellent character.

People with good character are more tolerant!

"Yu Jiao, pour me a cup of tea."

As soon as Wen Changyu sat down, Wei Zhen called out.

Wen Changyu quickly stood up again, "No...no need, I'm not thirsty."

Wen Yujiao poked her head out from another room, "Grandma, where did you put the brown sugar?"

Wei Zhen was so angry she gritted her teeth. "His grandmother," was that her calling him that too?

Debt collector!

"In the box by my bedside."

"Never mind, I'll get it myself!"

"Hey, I'm not stealing your money..."

Hearing her daughter's words, Wei Zhen walked very fast, and slapped her as soon as she entered the door. "Stop talking nonsense all the time. If you scare this girl away again, do you want to stay at home and become an old maid?"

"Or do you want to spread your reputation as a shrew in Beijing?"

Wen Yujiao covered her arm where she had been slapped, and protested, "Mother, dear mother, how old am I this year?"

"Eighteen, eighteen, truly the prime of youth, can't you let me enjoy my time?"

Are you trying to push me into the fire pit of marriage?

Wei Zhen pulled out some brown sugar and said, "Shut up! You're still enjoying your time. If you wait a few more years, all the good stuff will be taken. Then you'll regret it."

"By then, all your tears will be wasted!"

He then stuffed brown sugar into Wen Yujiao's hand and said, "Go, make some sugar water."

“Your father has been secretly observing this Xiao Wen for a long time. He’s only three years older than you. He’s down-to-earth, ambitious, and handsome. He’s young and promising. You won’t find another like him.”

Wen Yujiao stuck her head out to look.

Wen Changyu sat in the main room of the Wen family. He was tall and straight, with a distinct face. He sat there without looking to the side, and was indeed a handsome man.

"She is indeed good-looking, with captivating eyes. She's much better than those ugly girls I've introduced before," Wen Yujiao said, turning her head away.

Wei Zhen nudged her and said, "So you better be smart. Even if you're pretending, you have to keep it up."

"No matter what, I'll get married first."

"Once you're married into their family, if they find out you're acting crazy, your father and I won't take responsibility. We'll blame it on bad feng shui at their old family graves!"

Wen Yujiao: "??"

"...Mother, isn't this a bad idea?"

Wei Zhen asked matter-of-factly, "Then what should we do?"

"Do you think I'd let you get away with this?"

As Wei Zhen spoke, she stepped out the door, her face displaying a simple and honest smile. "Little Wen, were you getting impatient?"

"This brown sugar was given to me by someone else, and I put it at the bottom of a box, so I rummaged through it for a while."

"You sit and talk to Yujiao for a while, and I'll go make you some brown sugar water."

“You young people can sit together and talk,” Wei Zhen said, turning and walking outside.

Wen Changyu quickly got up from the stool. "No need, Auntie, really no need, I'm not thirsty, I..." He glanced at Wen Yujiao, who came out of the next room, "I'll sit for a while and then leave."

Being reborn into Wen Changyu's body was an unexpected event for him, and he is still somewhat bewildered by it.

Under these circumstances, he had no intention of considering his marriage at all.

But since Commander Wen had already said it to that extent, it wouldn't be good for him not to come.

Now he was quite restless.

Wei Zhen didn't listen to what Wen Changyu was saying at all. She only told Wen Yujiao to sit with Wen Changyu for a while before going to the kitchen to find a thermos.

Actually, there was a thermos in the main room as well.

But she felt that young people should be given a chance to get along.

Looking at Wen Yujiao standing at the door, Wen Changyu, who considered himself older, greeted her, "Come and sit down!"

Wen Yujiao: It even has a mouth!

Wen Yujiao walked over and sat down opposite him, crossing her legs as she asked, "Are you 21 this year?"

"Ah, yes, that's right."

Wen Yujiao noticed that he seemed a bit dazed and wondered if she really wasn't good at conversation.

Otherwise, why would he seem so surprised?

Could it be that she thinks you're questioning his age?

"Don't overthink it. I didn't mean you don't look like 21, it's just..." It seemed like the more he explained, the worse it got.

Wen Yujiao simply waved her hand and said, "Do you know why you're here today?"

Wen Changyu nodded again, "Commander Wen said that he asked me to come and meet you."

“This is called a blind date, Comrade Wen,” Wen Yujiao reminded him.

Wen Changyu nodded.

"Since you knew that, why did you still come?" Wen Yujiao asked again.

Wen Changyu was at a loss for words. Commander Wen, as his superior and an elder, had repeatedly approached him without a proper reason, so he couldn't keep refusing.

As for whether they are compatible after meeting, that's another matter.

It would be too disrespectful to refuse to see them.

Adults shouldn't be so rigid in their approach to things.

So Wen Changyu smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be interested in me!"

As he said this, his eyelashes drooped, obscuring the dark depths of his eyes.

A faint, obscure feeling swept across the scene.

His face was filled with insecurity.

Xu Shanshan once said that no one would have taken a liking to him if he hadn't been forced by circumstances.

He thought that if Xu Shanshan didn't like it, no one else would either.

Not a good match?

Wen Yujiao observed the man's insecure demeanor.

I'm very curious why he lacks confidence.

The 21-year-old regimental commander was tall with long legs and very handsome, especially his beautiful peach blossom eyes, which seemed to hold countless stories.
