To be honest, if we disregard other factors, in an environment where most people emphasize that women should focus on their families and that women shouldn't be stronger than men, the fact that someone actually appreciates her behavior and looks at her with such obvious admiration makes her feel a little secretly proud.
"Do you really think so?"
Don't you think this woman's behavior is too barbaric?
Qin Qinghuai shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
"No, no, my mom went to war with my dad, and she still speaks loudly. Besides,"
He glanced at Jian Dan cautiously.
"Besides, you're living with me, not with my parents. If we get along, we can interact more often. If we don't, we can see each other during holidays. The rest of the time, it's just us."
Jian Dan was surprised again, but she was no longer in a hurry while leaning against the door.
"Is your thinking really that open-minded?"
Don't most people marry a wife to take care of their parents?
“My family doesn’t do that. My mom thinks it’s too noisy with too many people. Even during Chinese New Year, she sends everyone away right after dinner.”
Before, when I lived in Beijing, my mother looked down on me because I was thirty and still couldn't find a wife, so she kicked me out of the city.
"Are you here looking for a wife?"
Her tone was strange as she sized him up. Just based on his looks and family background, he should be a sought-after suitor.
Do you have any hidden health problems?
The suspicious look in her eyes was so obvious that Qin Qinghuai, being no fool, instantly understood her meaning.
"No, no, I didn't. It's just that I've been in poor health since I was a child, and I'm not close to the other kids in the compound. It was only after I joined the army that they saw how promising I was and how high my father's position was that they started to have designs on me."
However, I kept avoiding it, and they didn't dare to really offend my father, otherwise, I might have really been tricked.
But don't worry, I have no ulterior motives towards any of them. I may not have many other skills, but I'm quite good at judging people, especially their eyes. I can tell if someone has other intentions just by looking into their eyes.
Knowing full well that they all had ulterior motives for approaching me, and that I'm not stupid—I'd rather avoid them than go near them myself—I'm not going to go near them.
My mom probably figured it out too, and that's how she kicked me out.
After a moment of silence, Jian Dan pondered for a moment, then asked softly,
"So, you're doing this to find a wife?"
Jian Dan didn't feel unhappy at all. On the contrary, she felt that this was good. The other party needed a wife, and she needed a husband. It wasn't just to reassure Tang Sumei. Now she also realized that she had made a mistake.
The villagers dared not offend her, but others might be a different story.
If those matchmakers from a few days ago could come, there might be others too. She has such good looks; not to mention her appearance, she has relatives in the military, she can work, and she can hunt. Even city workers might not be able to compare to a wife like that.
A husband can not only shield her from these troubles, but if it is the person in front of her, there is a high chance that Tang Sumei and Cheng Chengchao will be able to worry about her less.
Moreover, having a beautiful face and a good figure makes you feel much better every day.
Most importantly, he doesn't know kung fu, so even if there's a conflict, he can't beat her, and she won't be the one who suffers. This realization made her somewhat smug.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qinghuai first denied it.
"Of course not. I want to start a family and find a wife, and that's only because I want to start a family, because I like it, not to escape harassment."
like?
This forces even the simple to take things seriously.
"You're so sure after only meeting me once?"
Qin Qinghuai nodded heavily.
"I am very clear about my own thoughts."
Seeing you gave me the idea and urge to settle down and start a family, so there are no other possibilities.
When he said this, he didn't flinch or show any embarrassment; his gaze was firm as he met Jian's eyes.
"I will only get married because I want to, not because I should, and I hope that woman will be you."
He blinked briefly, then leaned against the doorframe without any regard for his appearance.
"But I can't even say I know you. We only met once, and I know nothing about you. I don't like you at all, and at most I don't dislike you."
Her gaze lingered on his handsome face, resembling that of Pan An. Yes, he was good-looking, and she wanted to look at him.
"Don't you think it's too hasty to get married like this? It's not fair to you, is it?"
Qin Qinghuai's heart tightened.
Do you have someone you like?
Simply shake your head gently.
"No, not at all."
"So, do you hate me?"
Simple shook her head again, and even chuckled softly.
"No, after all, your face is really beautiful."
Qin Qinghuai felt a sudden surge of heat throughout his body, and his eyes began to dart around, avoiding Jian Dan's gaze.
My heart was pounding.
"You...you really think I'm pretty?"
Seeing his blushing and heart pounding, and as he simply straightened up, she suddenly felt that his reaction was a little off. It seemed like she had teased him.
"No, I mean,"
She didn't know what it was, but she said it was beautiful, and that was the truth.
To say she has no ulterior motives?
"I,"
After struggling with the decision for a long time, she sighed; she really couldn't explain it.
"Is that really what you think?"
