Seeing that Bai Nuo had hugged Hu Mingmei, Lu Ying wisely touched her nose and walked away. As soon as Lu Ying left, Hu Mingmei put one arm around Bai Nuo's waist and stroked Bai Nuo's head with the other, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Bai Nuo raised her head through teary eyes, looking at Hu Mingmei with tears in her eyes, "I shouldn't have acted foolishly with you, I shouldn't have been unreasonable..."
Although Hu Mingmei didn't know why Bai Nuo said that, the two of them had only argued about one thing in the past few days. Hu Mingmei looked at Bai Nuo's tear-streaked face, chuckled, and reached out to wipe away Bai Nuo's tears.
Bai Nuo felt the warmth from Hu Mingmei's fingertips. Seeing that Hu Mingmei was only wiping away her tears without saying whether he forgave her or not, she became anxious. "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me?"
As Bai Nuo spoke, tears welled up again. Hu Mingmei hadn't even finished wiping away the old ones when new tears started flowing.
"Sigh!" Hu Mingmei sighed helplessly and had no choice but to wipe her tears. While wiping, he said helplessly, "You little girl, how can you have so many tears to shed?" When you argue, you are fierce and you say everything that others cannot say. Now, when you cry, you cry endlessly.
Helpless, Hu Mingmei could only gently kiss Bai Nuo's eyes. Bai Nuo instinctively closed her eyes. After a long while, when Hu Mingmei had kissed away all of Bai Nuo's tears, he embraced her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
He rested his head on Bai Nuo's shoulder and muttered to himself, "In the past, what I hated most was girls like you. You would cry endlessly and never listen to explanations when you argued."
Bai Nuo was unhappy when she heard this and tried to get out of Hu Mingmei's arms, but Hu Mingmei did not do as Bai Nuo wished. Bai Nuo struggled with a little strength, but Hu Mingmei used ten times the strength to hold Bai Nuo tightly.
"My nemesis, ever since I met you, watching you cry and make a scene, I can't bring myself to hate you!" Hu Mingmei continued, though she was speaking to Bai Nuo, her words sounded more like she was talking to herself.
As Bai Nuo listened, even though she felt a thousand grievances, they were all wiped away by this nemesis.
Hu Mingmei held her a little tight, and Bai Nuo suddenly felt breathless and couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Hu Mingmei smiled, loosened his grip a bit, lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, and said softly, "Let's get married after your birthday this year? The tenth of next month is an auspicious day, suitable for moving, opening a business, getting married, and bringing prosperity to the family!"
Bai Nuo looked up at Hu Mingmei, puzzled, and whispered, "But I... I'll only be fourteen after my birthday." How come the date was already chosen? Although her soul was already an old hand and had reached the age of late marriage and childbirth, this body was indeed only fourteen years old.
“When a girl starts menstruating, she’s considered grown up!” Hu Mingmei lowered his head and murmured to Bai Nuo, “I can’t wait any longer, I really want to marry you.”
"Then..." Bai Nuo's legs were so weak that she almost fell over. If Hu Mingmei hadn't supported her, she would definitely have fallen. Bai Nuo thought, "Then I need to talk to Grandma!"
"What kind of girl discusses her own marriage on her own?" Hu Mingmei laughed. "I've already talked to Grandma about it. You can just wait to marry me!"
"Mmm..." Bai Nuo responded softly, feeling very sweet inside. She snuggled against Hu Mingmei's chest, found a comfortable position, and yawned.
"Tired?"
Bai Nuo nodded, "I haven't been sleeping well these past two days!"
"Let's go back to sleep!" Hu Mingmei picked up Bai Nuo in his arms. Bai Nuo, supporting herself on Hu Mingmei's shoulders, exclaimed, "But I still have to watch the shop!"
"I'm here!"
Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei's argument was inexplicable, but their reconciliation was equally inexplicable. When Bai Nuo returned to the shop in the afternoon, she was all smiles and beaming. There weren't many people on the second floor; a single maid was enough to look after the shop. So Jiang San Niang went downstairs to chat with Bai Nuo. Seeing Bai Nuo's smiling face, she couldn't help but tease her, "You two have made up?"
Bai Nuo glanced at her sheepishly, but still pretended to be stubborn, "What? We've never argued!"
"Oh dear, I wonder who was crying this morning!" Jiang San Niang teased her.
"Sister!" Jiang San Niang teased Bai Nuo, making Bai Nuo even more embarrassed. She pinched Jiang San Niang in protest.
Jiang San Niang brushed Bai Nuo's hand away and looked at her with envy, "Alright, alright, I won't laugh at you anymore. Ah, it's so good to be young."
“You guys are young too!” Bai Nuo laughed.
"Unlike you, our love is gentle, while yours is passionate!"
Bai Nuo rolled her eyes at Jiang San Niang's words and remained silent.
They were having a nice conversation when they were suddenly bombarded with another dose of PDA.
*
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Nuo celebrated her birthday in a grand manner. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Nuo quietly became a bride. Ever since the incident at Jiang San Niang's wedding, Bai Nuo did not want any further complications, so the wedding was held in a very low-key manner. The family had a meal together, and they paid their respects to heaven and earth and their parents. That was considered the wedding.
On December 15th, Bai Nuo, who had spent a few days on her wedding holiday, returned to work at Duobaoge. Unlike before, Bai Nuo's hair, which had been down, was now styled into a woman's bun.
Others were even more surprised by her good complexion. None of the customers at Duobao Pavilion expected that the manager, who had disappeared for several days, would have changed his identity upon his return.
