Chapter 12 Be My Person
At that time, I was young and wearing thin spring clothes. I rode a horse and leaned on a sloping bridge, with red sleeves waving all over the building.
Are all hunters like this now?
Or is Sheung Hei Village a place with hidden treasures and outstanding people?
Lu Mingchao felt as if two little people were fighting in her mind. One had a big question mark on its little face, asking if this was reasonable. The other stood with his hands on his waist and his head held high, answering that existence was reasonable.
She is guilty!
She confessed!
She shouldn't have used such frivolous words as raising a young prostitute.
To be honest, her idea might be a little dangerous.
How can you call it fickleness when it comes to marriage? It's called careful consideration.
When Lu Mingchao was looking at Xie Yan in what he thought was a discreet manner, Xie Yan also caught sight of the pretty girl under the lamp.
She had fair skin, a clear mind and a slender figure, a clever look between her brows, a goose-yellow flannel in her hair, bright eyes, and a insight into worldly affairs without being tainted by the vulgarity. She didn't look like a girl who grew up in the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
Xie Yan was not a playboy, and he looked away in the blink of an eye.
Yunniang: Is this appropriate or inappropriate? Should the marriage be cancelled or not?
"Xiao Xie, thank you for taking the trouble to come here in such a cold weather. I just want to hear your thoughts on the marriage. Both families should sit down and discuss it calmly." Yunniang pinched her eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if something was blocking her throat.
Lu Miao's actions made them unable to hold their heads up in front of Xie Yan.
Xie Yan's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he could vaguely guess the Lu family's intentions. His inky eyes were like dark clouds rolling in from the horizon.
"If you want to cancel the engagement, I agree."
He is not the kind of person who lacks self-awareness, nor does he have the habit of dragging Yun Duanyue into the mud.
The girl who grew up in a luxurious environment is very graceful and elegant, and he cannot match her now.
Originally I agreed to the marriage with the Lu family out of necessity. Now that Lu Miao is gone, I'll just go with the flow and end it.
When Xie Yan thought of Lu Miao, his expression became much gloomier.
Yunniang: ...
How come you broke off the engagement without even having a chat?
"If you are worried about the betrothal gift, don't worry." Xie Yan saw that the Lu family was in a difficult situation, and thought of Lu Miao's usual behavior, he understood.
Yunniang looked at Lu Mingchao with an inquiring look.
Should this marriage be cancelled or not?
"Mom, can I talk to Mr. Xie Yan alone?" Lu Mingchao thought for a moment and finally spoke.
Xie Yan's brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was puzzled.
Seeing that Xie Yan had no objection, Yunniang nodded to Lu Mingchao.
The shadows of people coming in and out brought the wind, and the bean-sized candle flames flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
Lu Mingchao looked up at Xie Yan, his eyebrows raised nicely, "Lu Mingchao, my name is Lu Mingchao."
The voice was firm and clear, graceful and without any embarrassment or shyness.
In essence, this is a meeting.
Xie Yan lowered his head and looked at Lu Mingchao, lowered his eyelashes, and said politely, "Xie Yan."
"Don't you want me to marry in your place?" Lu Mingchao asked directly.
Xie Yan was startled, and his expression showed a hint of surprise.
This problem was something he had not expected.
"you……"
"Are you willing to marry me?" Xie Yan pursed her lips, looking flustered for the first time.
Lu Mingchao chuckled and said coquettishly and calmly, "I'm thinking about it."
"I just didn't expect you to resolutely propose to cancel the engagement."
Lu Mingchao has never been one to waste time on internal conflicts. Since she has suggested to talk to Xie Yan, there is no need to hide it.
Her appearance is in line with her aesthetic.
Now it all depends on Xie Yan's character.
"You may not know this, but I have two sons and one daughter, no land, no proper business, and no fixed income, so I am not a good match." Xie Yan exhaled lightly, and the white air dissipated. He calmed down and spoke frankly.
Lu Mingchao smiled faintly and nodded, "I know."
"Then why are you still considering our marriage?" The confusion on Xie Yan's face almost turned into reality.
No matter how calm and stern he was, Xie Yan was ultimately just a young man who was about to reach adulthood.
It is the time when people are dressed in fine clothes and ride horses, and are full of vigor and vitality.
"Can I tell the truth?" Lu Mingchao asked softly, tilting his head.
Xie Yan was too tall, and it was already difficult for her slender neck to bear the weight of her head and thick hair, but she still had to look up at Xie Yan.
It really hurts her little neck.
Xie Yan noticed Lu Mingchao's little action and found a stool to sit down. "You say."
"Marriage is a big deal, so you should keep your word."
"Okay." Lu Mingchao was very satisfied with Xie Yan's attentiveness.
"Before meeting you, I had more to consider. Your marriage to Lu Miao has caused a lot of fuss and everyone around you knows about it. Ruining the engagement would be bad for my second brother's imperial examination and bad for both Lu and Xie's families."
"After meeting you, I don't dislike you. You are good-looking, and your brothers all praise you, which shows that you are a reliable person."
"I don't reject this marriage in my heart."
"If you are worried that I will treat your son and daughter harshly, I can guarantee that this will not happen."
"As long as they have no ill intentions towards me, I can treat them as my own children and never have children again in my life."
For her, not having children is more like a perfect reward from God for a girl who is afraid of pain and death.
Xie Yan was stunned, and the Lu family members who were separated by a wall were panicked.
In the eyes of the Lu family's elders, Lu Mingchao suffered a great injustice.
"How could this child say such a thing? It's simply tearing my heart out as a mother."
"This marriage is called off."
"Even if your reputation is damaged, there is always a chance to repair it."
"Without her own biological children, what else can Chaochao rely on and hope for in her life?" Yunniang's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs. She was about to walk to the next room while speaking.
Lu Yao stretched out his arms and held her back weakly, "Mom, Chao Chao is a man with his own ideas."
On the other side of the wall, Xie Yan's cheeks were covered with a suspicious blush, and he suddenly stuttered, "You, have you decided to come?"
Lu Mingchao nodded, "Yes."
Xie Yanteng stood up suddenly, lowered his head and dared not look directly at her, and said in a low voice, "You can think about it again."
"You should be more cautious about this life-long event."
"It's not that I look down on you, it's that..."
He is now just Xie Yan, a hunter hiding in Changxi Village.
"It's settled then."
"The wedding date remains the same." Lu Mingchao made the decision.
Is it important to have no feelings for the time being?
unimportant.
Who stipulated that she couldn't take a script about marriage first and love later?
Xie Yan: …
"Since you are mine, you should not mess with Murakami's young wife or the older girl anymore."
"Xie Yan."
The candlelight flickers, warm and lingering.
Xie Yan's face flushed completely red. "I didn't."
He lives at the foot of the mountain south of the village and rarely interacts with others.
Lu Mingchao smiled happily, it's not that he couldn't travel through time in this book, he just liked the kind of book that had no sense of boundaries.
There is a daily blessing, a family full of handsome people, and a little hunter who can take advantage of you.
It's a great life to make money and have a man.
Xie Yan took out a purse from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Mingchao's pocket, saying, "Here's the money for you to use first."
