Han Chan was in a hurry to leave, as if they had bullied her. Xu Shi glanced at the things on the kang and immediately understood. She gave Rong Hua, who was standing at the door, a look, signaling Rong Hua to stop Han Chan.
This time, Rong Hua was smarter and immediately blocked Han Chan's way. However, he was too clumsy with words and couldn't say anything to please Han Chan. "Miss Han, you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you eat before going home? You don't have anything to do at home, so there's no need to rush back!"
Madam Xu glared at Ronghua with exasperation, then stepped forward and pulled Han Chan aside. "Girl, it was my fault just now. I didn't consider your feelings and just dumped everything on you. But don't feel embarrassed! I truly consider you my eldest daughter-in-law. I know everything about you and Ronghua. I even asked my eldest son, and he said he has feelings for you, but he's just too clumsy and doesn't know how to please girls, which is why you're angry! You even keep your distance from him and don't dare to get any closer!"
As she spoke, Xu pulled Han Chan to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed). Seeing Han Chan's shocked expression, Xu knew that her words had struck a chord with her.
“Girl, I asked Ronghua to invite you over for dinner so that you two could clear things up! I don’t want to miss out on such a good daughter-in-law! So, girl, give yourself a chance, and give Ronghua a chance too, okay?” Madam Xu said softly.
Rong Hua slowly walked over and stopped in front of Han Chan. His handsome figure exuded unparalleled elegance. Upon seeing this, Madam Xu hurriedly went out the door. Before leaving, she glared at Rong Hua, thinking, "If you brat manage to send Han Chan back home this time or make her angry, I'll never forgive you!"
Ronghua was a little overwhelmed by his mother's eagerness to match him with Han Chan, but at the same time, he was very happy to have such a mother. If it weren't for Madam Xu, he wouldn't know how to break the cold stalemate with Han Chan.
So Ronghua smiled at Madam Xu and silently told her that he would definitely seize this opportunity.
Only then did Madam Xu feel relieved and leave.
After Madam Xu left, Ronghua took a step forward and said, "Miss Han, what my mother said just now is true!"
Han Chan: "...Brother Ronghua, I really have something to do at home, I have to go back first!" Deep down, Han Chan didn't believe that Ronghua liked her, nor did she believe that Ronghua had fallen in love with her so quickly.
Rong Hua said, "Miss Han, please don't rush back, okay? Listen to me! After I've explained, you can think about it, alright?"
Seeing Rong Hua's sincere expression, Han Chan's anxious heart immediately calmed down, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared. "Brother Rong Hua, what do you want to say?"
Rong Hua curled her lips: "Miss Han, first of all, I want to apologize to you! Because of me, you have been upset and haven't spoken to me for several days! Also because of me, many people in the village have opinions about you and are talking badly about you behind your back, making you afraid to contact me or even speak to me, for fear of following in your mother's footsteps!"
Han Chan didn't respond, but just stared at Rong Hua, waiting for Rong Hua to continue.
"Your refusal to pay attention to me makes me feel very disappointed! At first, I didn't know what this disappointment meant, nor did I think deeply about why I felt disappointed and upset because of your attitude! It wasn't until my mother came back and explained it to me in detail that I understood why I felt this way! It's because you're in my heart! That's why your indifference makes me feel uncomfortable and suffocated, and I really want to see you smile!"
"Therefore, on Mother's advice, I came to see you and took this opportunity to clarify things!" Ronghua paused, and seeing that Han Chan hadn't rejected him, the coldness on his face softened a little, and he was very happy because he knew Han Chan had relented. So Ronghua pressed on and continued, "Mother said that if I like you, I should marry you as soon as possible! But I didn't agree to Mother's suggestion! Because I know that Miss Han may not be willing to marry me! And we haven't reached the point of discussing marriage yet! So Miss Han, are you willing to give it a try? If we like each other and are committed to each other, we can find a good day to get engaged or married, how about it?"
Han Chan: "...Brother Ronghua, you...I..."
She wasn't unwilling, and she knew that she and Rong Hua hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage before, and that they hadn't yet gained everyone's approval, especially Rong's family and her younger brother.
Ronghua's suggestion greatly appealed to Han Chan, but she didn't know if Ronghua was sincere, so she wanted to refuse. However, a voice deep inside her told her to agree to Ronghua's suggestion, because Ronghua liked her and wasn't deceiving her! She liked Ronghua, and Ronghua liked her, so she had to seize the opportunity, otherwise, the chance would slip through her fingers and she wouldn't be able to be with the person she liked.
"Miss Han, please think it over carefully, okay? I'm sincere!" With that, Rong Hua grabbed Han Chan's hands. "I admit that my feelings for you right now are liking, but it hasn't reached the point of deep love yet. I'm not sure what will happen between us in the future, but I can tell you that once I've made up my mind, I will never let go for the rest of my life! So please give me this chance, Miss Han!"
Han Chan thought for a moment and decided to follow her heart, saying, "Brother Ronghua, I... I like you! I fell in love with you the moment I woke up at Huimin Medical Clinic! But I didn't have the courage to tell you, after all, our families are worlds apart, and I didn't dare to ask for too much! But later, with Brother Ronghua's help, Tao Tao and I got out of the abyss of hell and lived like ordinary people. We also received care and help from the Rong family, and my brother and I have always been grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts! Now, my feelings for you have grown even stronger, but I don't know what to do because I can sense that you don't feel the same way about me, Brother Ronghua."
Rong Hua scratched his head sheepishly: "I didn't really like Miss Han before. I only helped you two siblings because I saw how pitiful and helpless you were! But now I understand and I realize that I like you! I don't want to miss out, so I'm bringing it up."
After a pause, Rong Hua said, "So, Miss Han, are you willing to give it a try with me?"
Han Chan stared intently at Rong Hua, her face reflected in his clear, bright eyes, which were filled with expectant light. She nodded, "I'm willing! If we're really not right for each other, then we'll break up! But this is something only the two of us should know, and I hope Brother Rong Hua won't tell anyone else! If we break up, everyone will talk about me, and I might never be able to get married in my life!"
Rong Hua felt a pang of sadness and nodded repeatedly, "It's a deal!"
