Xie Wan Ning didn't mind her scolding. Hearing that, he lowered his eyes uncomfortably, his heart beating wildly.
That person was quick enough. He had just taken a nap and he had already informed her parents.
Since I called her over...
Does that mean that her parents have approved it and they want her to express her opinion?
Xie Wan Ning was thinking about many things along the way and took the sedan chair to the front yard.
The door of the living room was open, and before she got out of the sedan chair, the people inside looked over at her.
After not seeing her for half a day, the little girl changed her clothes. She was wearing a pink smoke silk skirt and a pearl hairpin on her head. She held a round fan in one hand and held the hem of her skirt with the other hand as she walked towards me. Her every move was graceful and lively. She was a natural beauty.
What a pretty girl! No wonder the prince of the Duke's Mansion, who had not been interested in getting married for many years, knelt down and asked for her hand in marriage.
Xie Shu and Zheng both looked proud that their daughter had grown up.
Pei Yuqing was a little dazed as he watched the little girl walk towards him step by step.
"Hey!" Xie Wan Ning waved in front of him, tilted her head and smiled at him, "Come back to your senses, Pei Changqing."
Xie Shu/Zheng: "..."
Pei Yuqing suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had just stared at the girl. His expression froze for a moment, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. Looking at her playful expression, he helplessly called out, "Wanwan."
Xie Wan Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, with a beautiful curve at the corner of her lips. She tilted her face to look at him and didn't make any more jokes.
This man was thin-skinned. He was so rude and impatient in front of his elders. It was beyond her expectation that he could hold back his blushing now.
She had originally thought that he would want to die of shame after being teased by her like that.
The atmosphere of their conversation was as if no one else was around, and the glances between them clearly showed that they were lovers.
Xie Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood what the lady had just said.
He just said it!
They had clearly sent the person away, and the couple could have asked their daughter privately about her feelings. Why did they have to call the person over now and ask him on the spot!
It turned out that his delicate girl had not only been coveted by someone for a long time, but action had also been taken.
They acted quickly, it’s only been a short time since the engagement was cancelled!
Look at him, a grown man making such a shy expression, it's really disgusting.
Xie Shu was filled with rage, his eyes stabbing outward like knives.
Pei Yuqing was such a perceptive person that he straightened his expression instantly and didn't dare to appear too frivolous anymore.
After being married for more than 20 years, Zheng knew her husband very well and knew that he was annoyed that his daughter was too old to be kept.
She did have this thought, but girls always have to get married, and as long as her daughter likes it and is happy after marriage, that's enough.
Thinking of this, Zheng waved to her daughter, "Come Wanwan."
She raised her hand to smooth her daughter's sweaty hair, fanned the girl who had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and said softly, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Xie Wan Ning sat down next to her mother, her eyes fell on the young man sitting beside her, and she said with a smile: "I know."
The moment Pei Yuqing met her eyes, he turned his face away, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves slowly curled up because of nervousness.
As long as she nods...
As long as she nodded, their marriage...
Listening to his daughter's sweet voice, Xie Shu snorted coldly, "As expected, you two discussed privately about him coming to propose marriage. Didn't you go to the farm yesterday? When did you discuss it?"
A series of questions came down, and Xie Wan Ning blinked guiltily.
She was not good at lying to her parents, so she paused for a moment and said dryly, "We just happened to meet at the farm, so we discussed it."
The important matter of marriage is made to sound so insignificant.
This time, not only Xie Shu, the old father, was dissatisfied, even Pei Yuqing was a little unhappy.
Zheng raised her round fan and tapped her daughter's forehead, "Speak properly."
She did not ask whether her daughter had secretly decided to spend her life with the man outside the family, and then talk about marriage. She just asked directly: "Prince Pei intends to marry you as his consort, what do you think?"
The huge hall fell silent unconsciously.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense, especially for Pei Yuqing.
Obviously, the two of them had discussed it last night, but he still felt very insecure. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and he even held his breath.
Xie Wan Ning blinked, slowly restrained her expression, stopped smiling, and nodded seriously: "I will marry you."
The two words are gentle yet firm.
Pei Yuqing's fingers, which were almost sinking into the flesh, loosened slightly, and the light in his eyes sparkled brightly.
He did not care that there were two elders beside him, and looked at the girl in a rather abrupt manner, no longer showing his measured and polite demeanor.
Xie Shu's face darkened again, not caring that the person involved was present, and he began to slander: "He is so much older than you, what do you think of him?"
Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "He is good-looking."
Xie Shu choked, but he couldn't refute this point. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "He also suffers from heart disease. He can't be too sad or happy, and he can't worry too much."
Xie Wan Ning glanced at her father with a livid face and said carefully, "But he is really good-looking."
Xie Shu: “…”
His fingers were shaking, and he tapped his daughter's forehead with a look of disappointment, "You just want him to look good? He's already 27 years old this year, how many more years can he look good?"
Pei Yuqing: “…”
Xie Wan Ning was also a little unhappy. She gently slapped her father's hand away and said, "People who don't worry about anything don't age easily. Look at him, he doesn't look like he's 27. Besides, I don't lack anything. What else can I look for in a future husband if not for his good looks?"
