"Fubao..." Shen Jianian called again, his eyes more expectant.
Old Mrs. Shen became even more anxious, and quickly said, "Nannan, what are you doing standing there? Answer it quickly."
There was no other way, Fubao could only reach out and take the box of chocolates in front of everyone. Suddenly, Shen Jianian breathed a sigh of relief, and the girls around him became even more envious.
Aunt Zhao sneered barely audibly.
Humph, didn't this girl get along well with the boy from the Huo family before? I thought they would be together? But now she's hooking up with the village chief's son. She's just like her mother, a born foxy character!
But strangely enough, many boys in the village like Fubao and look at her as if she were a little princess. Aunt Zhao feels very unbalanced when she thinks that her daughter is seventeen years old and no one has come to propose marriage yet.
When the village chief saw Fubao accept the chocolate, he smiled even more kindly, "Fubao, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight? You haven't come to the village chief's house for dinner for a long time."
Fubao shook his head subconsciously, "I don't want to trouble the village chief."
"How can this be considered a trouble? If you could come, I would be so happy! Jianian would be very happy too, right, Jianian?" The old village chief said while looking at Shen Jianian.
Shen Jianian's face turned red again, and he responded softly, "Yeah."
Fubao didn't answer. Old Man Shen laughed out loud, "Okay, old village chief, since your family has invited us, it would be embarrassing if we don't go. Thank you in advance."
Is this a promise?
The old village chief's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Okay! It's settled then. Come to my house for dinner tonight. If you don't come, I'll settle the score with you!"
"become!"
"Fubao, you must come." The old village chief said, he had something to do in town, so he took Shen Jianian away first. Shen Jianian looked at Fubao reluctantly, and then followed.
Now, anyone with eyes could see that Shen Jianian was interested in Fubao. The boy's eyes were so eager, as if he couldn't wait to marry Fubao home.
Hu Laosan's wife joked to Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, "Your daughter is really lovable. The child of the village chief is good in everything. She will definitely be like your eldest grandson in the future. She will also be a good candidate for college entrance examination and will have a bright future! If Fubao can marry into the village chief's family, how enviable it will be!"
Everyone in the village knew that the village chief's family was well-off, and they all wanted their daughters to marry into the family. Unfortunately, the eldest and second grandsons were already married and had their own families, and the youngest grandson liked Fubao, so there was no hope for their daughter.
Fubao held the box of chocolates and felt it was heavy.
When she was young, she could accept gifts without any worries, but now, she has to think carefully before accepting a gift, wondering whether she should accept it or not.
It seemed that her grandparents wanted her to be with Shen Jianian, but she really didn't have that kind of feeling for him. Even if she did, she wouldn't be with him.
After all, people in heaven and the mortal world, just like people in heaven and the devil world, cannot fall in love with each other!
It seems that she has to find an opportunity to make things clear with Shen Jianian and tell him not to hold out hope. Although it will hurt his heart, it is better to have a short pain than a long one, so it is better to make things clear as soon as possible.
When Mrs. Shen saw Fubao sitting under the tree, holding the box of chocolates, with his brows slightly furrowed and a look of distress, she couldn't help but laugh.
Alas, my daughter has really grown up and has started to worry about matters related to men and women. Time flies so fast!
