Chapter 105 The Grave of Marriage
Wen Ci pulled out her hand, made a sign with one hand, and clenched her other hand into a fist. "I'll only give you ten days to think it over."
"What he meant was that Uncle Lu is quite good in every way except that he's older than you. If you marry him, you won't be wronged after marriage."
"But I won't be happy either!"
Xie Yiyi frowned. "He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. If we get married under these circumstances, wouldn't that be like stepping into the grave of marriage?"
Wen Ci told her Xie Peizhou's analysis from last night, "Uncle Lu should like you, right? Otherwise, with his friendship with your uncle, he wouldn't be like this with you."
Xie Yiyi frowned even tighter, but her eyes were firm. "Xiaoci, Lu Bingchen can't possibly like me. He has a woman he deeply loves in his heart. The relationship between us is just to satisfy each other's physical needs."
"I will never marry a man like that!"
Xie Yiyi was full of ambition one second, and the next second she was begging Wen Ci, "Xiao Ci, please plead for me again. Don't let my uncle tell my parents. You know how tyrannical and unreasonable my parents are. The most important thing to them is always their career. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left me to my uncle to take care of."
"If you really force me to get married, I'll just run away from home in ten days!"
Wen Ci held her hand. "Don't be impulsive. Don't we still have ten days? Let's think of a solution. ...What does Uncle Lu mean? Has he said anything to you from last night until now?"
Xie Yiyi laughed, took out her phone, and showed the chat history to Wen Ci. Her tone was a little cold, "Just one sentence, let me think about it carefully. Once you have thought it over, you are willing to marry me at any time and be willing to take responsibility."
"Do you think his attitude means he likes me? He's just been forced by his uncle. He treats marriage as a joke, but I don't. I only want to marry a man who truly loves me."
Wen Ci lowered her eyes and looked at the page on her phone. The note was a "pig head".
The message Lu Bingchen sent her wasn't as callous and indifferent as Xie Yiyi had conveyed it to her. Wen Ci felt he was quite sincere, asking Xie Yiyi to consider it carefully and, if she was willing to marry him, to be a good husband and take good care of her, ensuring she didn't suffer any injustice.
But the word "love" is not mentioned once in the whole article.

In the evening, Xie Peizhou came home from get off work on time, but Xie Yiyi slipped out in a bad mood before he came back.
Xie Peizhou ignored her.
The family of three had dinner quietly and rested for a while. Xie Peizhou stood up with the car keys and said, "Let's go?"
Wen Ci was puzzled, "Where are we going?"
"Didn't we agree on this this morning? We're going to the mall tonight. Besides the daily necessities Aunt Zhou bought, is there anything else we need?"
"Did you say that?"
Wen Ci was confused. How come she had no impression at all?
Xie Yiyi looked at her confused eyes and couldn't help but smile. When her daughter went upstairs to change clothes, she whispered in her ear, "You promised me this morning. You nodded, 'Hmm,' did you forget?"
A hint of teasing flashed across the man's eyes, "Then you promised me another thing, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?
The hot and humid breath passed through her ear canal, making her feet move. Her cheeks were flushed with heat, and her eyes were dodging guiltily. "What else did I promise you...?"
"Mommy, I'm fine!"
Nian Nian changed into her down jacket and came down from upstairs skipping and jumping. The little one loves to go shopping in malls and to crowded places.
Xie Peizhou stood up straight, and his deep black eyes gave her a look that said, "You know what I mean, don't even think about regretting it."
Wen Ci swallowed.
Did she not agree to something she shouldn't have agreed to in a daze this morning?
"Let's go."
Xie Peizhou looked at his daughter tenderly, shook the car keys in his hand, and led the way to the garage.
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the largest shopping mall in Beijing. Even on a weekday night, there were still many customers in the mall.
Maybe tomorrow is Christmas.
Since they were at the mall, Wen Ci simply bought a few more clothes for Nian Nian.
When the little one started to grow, the sleeves of last year's sweaters and down jackets were too short.
Wen Ci also specially picked out a red Christmas winter dress set.
After buying clothes for Wen Niannian, Xie Peizhou took her to the "Fashionable Women's Wear" floor and bought her a few new clothes. Finally, adhering to the principle of being here since they were already there, Wen Ci also picked out two high-necked sweaters from young and trendy brands for Xie Peizhou.
Xie Peizhou has his usual brands of clothes all year round, with a mature and steady style. In previous years, when Xie Yiyi wanted to give him branded clothes during festivals, he always refused.
But today, I am especially cooperative.
Even though Wen Ci chose a festive and eye-catching red sweater for her, he gladly accepted it.
As Wen Ci helped him straighten the wrinkles on his sweater, she whispered, "Is he handsome?"
"Um."
"Can it charm you?"
“…”
Wen Ci blushed and rolled her eyes at him.
"Little sister, you two are so loving. Your father and mother are so loving."
Wen Niannian was eating the small jelly given as a gift in the store and heard the envious words of the shopping assistant who was playing with her.
She blinked and didn't say that this was not her father, but her great uncle.
"Thanks."
After buying clothes, they will be packed and delivered to Yu Shui Bay.
Xie Peizhou took Wen Ci and her daughter to the supermarket on the underground floor. The three of them picked out suitable daily necessities, and a shopping cart could hardly hold them all.
Xie Peizhou said, "You guys go shopping first, I'll go push a shopping cart over."
Wen Ci nodded and said, "Then I'll take Nian Nian to read a storybook. Come over there and find us later."
"good."
Xie Peizhou turned and left.
The shopping cart was right at the entrance of the mall, but the man did not push the shopping cart. Instead, he strode out of the supermarket.
