Chapter 290 Chen Zhao's Marriage Discussion
Ah Fu was stunned. "No... Miss Xia, how could you trespass into such a prestigious residence?"
"What's wrong with trespassing?" Xia Wanqing said disdainfully, "I climbed over the wall because no one opened the door for me. Are you people in the Xiao Mansion so lazy? It's already noon and no one is at the door. I've knocked until my hands are sore, but no one answered. If this wasn't the Xiao Mansion, I would have just smashed the door."
Ah Fu: “…”
The sun is already high in the sky? It’s only just dawn now, right?!
Moreover, the Xiao Mansion now refuses visitors, the gate is locked, and there is no one at the door most of the time.
Xiao Yu chuckled and shook his head: "You're here fast, I'm afraid he's still dreaming. Take him away quickly, so he won't have to eat and drink for free at my place."
"Where is he?" Xia Wanqing asked.
"The third room in the west wing." Xiao Yu answered in agreement, "Remember to knock before you go in. As far as I know, he doesn't wear clothes when he sleeps."
Xia Wanqing gave a surprised look of "How did you know?" and then rushed straight to the west wing.
As if they had smelled gossip, everyone in the Xiao Mansion woke up and quietly went over to watch. The average time they got up was a full hour earlier than usual.
Without even opening his eyes, Daju came up and turned into a cat and lay on Xu Chuchu's shoulder, making Xu Chuchu feel like he was carrying a big schoolbag.
Xia Wanqing strode to the third room and kicked the door open without even knocking!
Since that day, she absorbed some of the spiritual power that dissipated from the energy ball, and her strength doubled. Even the strongest soldiers in the barracks were no match for her.
This was also related to the fact that she had no cultivation at all, so the effect after absorbing it was much more significant than that of others.
The door opened, and Chen Zhaozhi had just pulled up his trousers and put on his shirt, but hadn't tied it yet, revealing his pampered fair skin and a few muscle outlines.
Xu Chuchu leaned in to take a peek, but Xiao Yu covered her eyes with her hands.
"You, you, you...you're here too early!" Chen Zhaozhi was so scared that he turned around and tied his laces, "Don't you know to knock on the door before entering a man's room?"
Xia Yuqing snorted, pulled a chair over with brute force, and sat on it with her legs crossed.
"You don't even dare to enter my Xia Mansion. You told me to come in the morning, but you didn't even know to get up early and wait?" She scolded Chen Zhaozhi, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly. I am in a hurry!"
A huge crowd of people gathered at the door, and Chen Zhaozhi was scolded all over, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
He was planning to wait for Xia Wanqing to come, and then the two of them would sit in the garden, drink tea, enjoy snacks, and then slowly discuss future matters.
Why don't you play by the rules?
"Speak!" Xia Wanqing urged.
"That's right." Chen Zhaozhi stammered, "I want to talk about our marriage."
In fact, he has always had an inseparable feeling for Xia Wanqing.
Be it the childhood companionship of two innocent children, the youthful and awkward ignorance of their teenage years, or Xia Wanqing's repeated kindness to him now.
Although he took a detour for a while, he was blinded by power and interests and threw her behind his mind...
But he is sober now and sincerely wants to be with her!
But now he has neither fame nor status. Not only is he criticized by the world, but his identity as a half-demon is also misunderstood by outsiders. How can he be worthy of Xia Wanqing?
Not to mention proposing marriage, the Xia family probably wouldn't even let a half-demon like him enter the Xia Mansion.
He couldn't think of a solution, so he put it off day by day, making excuses for himself every day.
If I want to do something today, I can only figure it out tomorrow. If I want to do something tomorrow, I'll have to wait and see the day after tomorrow...
If he hadn't felt guilty after being scolded by Xu Chuchu yesterday, he would have probably put it off.
"Marriage?" Xia Wanqing's tone turned cold and disappointed. "You asked me to come here to discuss marriage? Shouldn't you go to my Xia family to discuss it?"
A girl didn't care at all when her marriage was discussed in public, but Chen Zhaozhi felt ashamed instead.
"But you also know my current situation..." Chen Zhaozhi explained unconfidently, "Everyone knows that I am a half-demon. How can Minister Xia tolerate me? And what if I can't come up with a betrothal gift?"
"You're asking me these questions?!" Xia Wanqing raised her voice, "Chen Zhaozhi, are you still a man? If you want to marry me, find a way! What? You still want me to convince my father? Ask me to find a betrothal gift for you?!"
Outside the door, Hu Shanshan came over with a tray of breakfast, apparently delivering it to her son.
Everyone felt awkward. The future daughter-in-law was seen yelling at her son by his own mother. Wouldn't that create resentment?
Hu Shanshan quietly peeked into the room, and her beautiful big eyes were suddenly filled with fear and tension.
Then he slowly turned around and tiptoed back to his room.
There was a clear sound of the door being locked.
Everyone: “…”
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to discuss it." Chen Zhaozhi was about to cry, "I want to ask your family if they are against demons. Besides the gold and silver of the human world, do they have any other preferences? Just find out."
Hearing this, Xia Wanqing's expression brightened slightly.
"As for demons... they used to not accept them, but now they're okay. After the war, they've all come to terms with it. As long as you don't harm anyone," she said. "I don't know anything else. What do you have?"
Finally, it was time to introduce myself. Chen Zhaozhi immediately said, "I am the grandson of the fox fairy. My mother is a princess of the fox clan. I am also half a little master. Do you think my status is worthy of you?"
As he asked this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his identity.
"Fox Fairy..." Xia Wanqing had heard of this term before, but wasn't quite sure what it meant. "What is a fox fairy like?"
Chen Zhaozhi immediately said, "The Fox Immortal is truly extraordinary. He's the leader of the fox clan and has been cultivating for thousands of years, making him a semi-immortal! His spiritual power covers the entire Fox Mountain, ah, that is, Fragrant Mountain, protecting the foxes that live and cultivate there. His body is enormous, blending seamlessly with the mountain, and his spiritual power..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a thud-thud-thud sound of footsteps outside, interrupting Shen Zhaozhi's words.
"I'm coming, don't be anxious. Hey! Didn't you just wake up?" The master came hurriedly with a basket, and his hand kept stroking the big lump in the basket that was bulged by thick cloth.
After she came in, she looked at the people gathered together. She didn't know what was going on, but she still slowly lifted the cloth.
A small head with sparse white hair poked out.
"Oh, isn't this my grandson? He's recovered so well. Ahem—" The little head started talking, his voice a little sharp and hoarse, "How long have I slept? Where's your mother?"
Chen Zhaozhi pointed at the little head with a trembling finger: "This, this is the fox fairy, my grandfather."
Xia Wanqing: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Xiao Yu had been trying to suppress her laughter, and she had to cough lightly to hide it. However, Xu Chuchu couldn't bear it any longer, so she told her master, "Princess Hu is in her own room."
"Oh oh!" The master suddenly realized, covered the fox fairy's little head again, and trotted to Hu Shanshan's room.
Everyone once again: "..."
Master, you really didn't mean it?
