Glancing at Cai Qinghe, whose face was deathly pale, Han Yunqi couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh. He simply said, "Besides, the Qing Dynasty is long gone. What are you spouting about feudal ideas? Let alone the fact that no one knew about my mother and aunt's private agreement, as long as our two families don't tell anyone, we can completely pretend it never happened. Even if it spreads, what difference does it make? So many young people go on dozens of blind dates and still don't get married. According to you, all those girls who fail at blind dates have no reputation and can't live?"
Cai's daughter-in-law shrieked, "I don't care! Other people's families are other people's families, but this is our family's rule! It was already agreed before, if you refuse to marry my daughter, I will... I will... I will make Qinghe hang herself at your doorstep!"
Cai Qinghe trembled, glanced up at her mother, said nothing, and looked at Han Yunqi with a heartbroken expression.
Han Yunqi was utterly shocked by this family's bizarre way of thinking.
It was just a verbal arrangement to go through the blind date process.
Why are we so stuck together and can't get rid of each other?
He almost felt like he wasn't living under the red flag of reform and opening up, but in an ancient feudal dynasty.
They even resorted to threatening suicide... How terrifying.
"Whatever. I've made myself clear. If you insist on pretending not to understand, there's nothing I can do. Goodbye."
After saying those few words, Han Yunqi turned and strode out the door.
This bunch of weirdos, he needs to run away quickly. Being mentally challenged is a disease, he should be careful not to catch it.
Han Yunqi strode out of the Cai family's house with his long legs, but was stopped by Cai Qinghe, who hurriedly caught up from behind: "Han Yunqi! Stop right there!"
Han Yunqi ignored it and continued walking forward without turning his head.
Cai Qinghe jogged up and grabbed his sleeve, forcing Han Yunqi to stop even if he didn't want to.
Turning around helplessly, Han Yunqi sighed, "Is there anything else?"
The baby in Cai Qinghe's arms was gone; she must have handed it over to her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to run.
"You...you really have a girlfriend?"
"Really. I have no reason to lie to you about something like this." Facing Cai Qinghe, who was somewhat reasonable, Han Yunqi still had some patience: "Your parents' thinking..." The word "weird" was already on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back and used another adjective, "stubborn. You can't possibly think like them, can you? It's very common for unmarried young people to go on blind dates here. Besides, you and I didn't even go through the motions. We can completely pretend nothing happened. Why would it escalate to the point of threatening suicide? It makes it seem like I started something and then abandoned you. Is it really that serious?"
Normally, Han Yunqi wouldn't say such harsh words to a girl, but today he was truly angered by the Cai couple.
Even now, he was losing his composure in front of Cai Qinghe, and his words couldn't help but carry a hint of barbs.
He had tried his best to restrain himself. What he truly wanted to say was even harsher.
It's like the Cai couple have a daughter they can't marry off; they're practically begging to find a sucker to throw themselves at.
Cai Qinghe didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in his words; her focus was solely on the fact that Han Yunqi had a girlfriend.
"How long have you two been together? Is she...is she prettier than me?"
Han Yunqi...
What's going on?
Does this girl really like him?
