"Tian... Brother Tianming? What are you doing here? You... didn't you leave?"

Zhao Pandi was completely stunned, staring blankly at Wu Tianming, her mind completely blank.

"I did receive a call from the hospital asking me to return!"

Wu Tianming glanced at Zhao Pandi, just because of her, he was about to go back and refuse.

He was indeed somewhat disheartened, thinking that once they had physical intimacy, she would agree to marry him.

But what I received was a rejection.

He thought that his recklessness had made Zhao Pandi dislike him. When he received the call from the hospital, he didn't have time to think much about it and hurriedly packed his things.

Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?

Zhao Pandi's eyes were red. Why didn't he tell her he was leaving?

I thought... you didn't want to see me.

Wu Tianming looked at Zhao Pandi and said in a low voice.

He still can't forget the coldness with which she rejected him, making him feel like he was just deluding himself.

"I...I just..."

Zhao Pandi didn't know how to explain.

"I know, you don't need to explain!"

He has already heard everything.

He hadn't originally intended to meet them and was just about to change locations when he overheard Xia Lan and Zhao Pandi's conversation, which made him freeze in place as if his feet were rooted to the spot.

It wasn't until he heard Zhao Pandi's words that he suddenly realized why she dared not accept him.

He knew better than Xia Lan how dysfunctional Zhao Pandi's family was.

Her mother was domineering and unreasonable, and always put her first. Because Zhao Pandi's father was in poor health, Zhao Pandi's mother did all the housework by herself.

Naturally, Zhao Pandi's father lost his voice in front of her mother.

The mother was always complaining, blaming Zhao Pandi's father for not being as capable as other men and for not being able to protect her.

It was his fault that she was bullied outside.

Before she gave birth to a son, she couldn't hold her head up in the village and was ridiculed for having given birth to two daughters, who said she was destined to never have a son.

The hardships of life caused her to vent all her anger on Zhao Pandi and her sister.

It was because of them that she couldn't hold her head up in the village.

Wu Tianming was in the village at the time. He overheard Zhao Pandi's mother cursing and swearing one day, and that's when he learned that Zhao Pandi was living in dire straits.

I felt sorry for her, so I wanted to teach her and hopefully help her out.

Recalling her childhood experiences, Wu Tianming understood why she rejected him.

She was also afraid that she would become like her mother.

“Pan Di, you are different from your mother. You are strong, independent, and self-reliant. You were the only clear-headed girl in the village who didn’t give up on saving yourself even when you were stuck in the mud!”

Wu Tianming gazed into Zhao Pandi's eyes, as if trying to see into her heart.

"You deserve a better tomorrow. Even if it's not me, you will meet other men who are willing to cherish and protect you."

Wu Tianming gently lifted the loose hair that had fallen across Zhao Pandi's face and tucked it behind her ear.

I will wish you well!

Don't you want me anymore?

Wu Tianming's words made Zhao Pandi feel uneasy, as if he didn't want her anymore, and she felt a sense of alienation.

“How could I not want you…” Wu Tianming said with a smile.

"Silly girl, I'm just telling you that even without me..."

"Don't say that. I've never thought about any other man but you!"

Zhao Pandi mustered her courage and grabbed Wu Tianming's clothes, refusing to let go.

For Zhao Pandi, this was the greatest courage she could muster.

Wu Tianming looked at Zhao Pandi, watching her tugging at his clothes.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"You know that this kind of initiative might make me misunderstand, right?"

Wu Tianming dared not make any move towards her, fearing that she would dislike him even more, but her initiative made it hard for him not to overthink things.

Once he's made up his mind, he really won't let go.

"...You don't need to misunderstand."

Zhao Pandi raised her head and looked into Wu Tianming's eyes.

"If I had to choose one man in this world whom I could trust and entrust my life to, you would be the only one on my mind!"

Zhao Pandi wasn't lying when she said that.

Wu Tianming taught her knowledge and gave her a way out.

He was her benefactor and her lover.

"Comrade Zhao Pandi!"

Wu Tianming suddenly shouted.

"Um!"

Zhao Pandi was startled and instinctively straightened her body.

"Would you be willing to be my girlfriend with marriage in mind?"

Wu Tianming raised his voice.

Everyone in the parking lot was drawn to Wu Tianming's voice.

Everyone came over with blessings after he boldly confessed his feelings to a female comrade.

"Hey lady, this guy looks pretty good! If you don't want him, how about giving him to my daughter? She still doesn't have a boyfriend!"

An old woman laughed.

"You wish! You're always trying to piggyback on everything."

The old man standing to the side rolled his eyes at his wife.

They really want to give their daughter everything.

"Lady, say yes quickly!"

"Yeah! Say yes already!"

"..."

Surrounded on both sides, everyone began to urge Zhao Pandi to quickly agree to Wu Tianming's request.

Zhao Pandi blushed and was at a loss for what to do.

"I...I...I..."

With so many people staring at her, Zhao Pandi didn't even know what to do with her hands.

"Pan Di, I will be good to you for the rest of my life! If I am not good to you and make you sad, then hit me! I'm tough and can take a beating!"
