"Brother Xu, why are you here?" Wen Die asked in a low voice, looking at Xu Wenwu who was originally close to her.
"Can I call you Die'er?" Xu Wenwu looked at the woman in front of him with bright eyes, a gentle smile, and a rosy face that was particularly charming, and couldn't help asking.
Wen Die was stunned for a moment, then her heart leaped with joy as she nodded, "Okay!"
Xu Wenwu took a deep breath and said, "Die'er, I know how you feel about me, but..."
Wen Die panicked and quickly covered Xu Wenwu's mouth to stop him from saying the next thing. He didn't know what kind of words he would say next that he didn't want to hear.
Xu Wenwu held the soft hand covering his mouth in his palm, but did not let go.
"Die'er, please listen to what I have to say. This time I have made my feelings clear. You are in my heart too!" Xu Wenwu said.
"Am I one of them?" Wen Die asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Xu Wenwu answered affirmatively.
Wen Die reacted all at once, and at this moment joy flooded into her heart, as if her heart was rippling in spring water. Her eyes were wide open, looking at the gentle and handsome lover in front of her. Her heart and eyes were filled with his figure, and there was no room for anything else.
"Die'er, do you despise me for being a poor man born in the countryside?" Xu Wenwu asked.
Wen Die quickly shook her head and said, "No matter where you were born, I like you!" Wen Die was no longer shy and expressed her feelings boldly.
Xu Wenwu said, "Die'er, don't worry. I will never let you suffer any injustice. I want to give you the best of myself. When I pass the imperial examination, the first thing I will do is ask Uncle Wen to betroth you to me!"
Tears welled up in Wendie's eyes. These were undoubtedly the most beautiful words of love she had ever heard.
"Brother Xu! Regardless of whether you can pass the exam or not, I have already decided on you! Even now, I will agree to marry you without hesitation!"
Xu Wenwu patted Wendie's head and chuckled, "Silly girl."
Wen Die mustered up her courage and was bold for once. She took the initiative to hug Xu Wenwu's waist and put her face against his chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat coming from his chest, she felt extremely at ease.
Xu Wenwu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the head bowed on his chest. Then he stretched out his hands to respond to the beauty and put his arms around her slender waist.
Wen Die felt the warmth from the hands on her waist, her face turned even redder, she closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth, she just hoped that time could stay here forever.
At this moment, their feelings for each other deepened.
At this time, the dining room of the Wen Mansion was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes, waiting for everyone to take a seat.
"Yuan'er, go and invite all the gentlemen over for dinner!" said Madam Wen.
Yuan Er smiled and said, "Madam, I'll go right away!"
Mrs. Wen smiled and shook her head, not knowing why this girl was so excited.
When Yuan'er cleared everyone into the dining room, Wendie and Xu Wenwu were the only ones missing.
Mrs. Wen asked curiously, "Where did these two children go? Why are they gone during dinner?"
Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, I think my sister is whispering something to Brother Xu right now! Let's eat first and save some for them later!"
"Yuan'er, if your sister knew that you were plotting against her behind her back again, she would probably ignore you again!" Mrs. Wen laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wenwu and Wendie walked in. They were very close to each other, and the sweet and decadent smell of love struck everyone's heart.
Mrs. Wen looked at her daughter's shy appearance, then saw the affection in her eyes when she looked at Xu Wenwu from time to time, and saw Xu Wenwu smiling back at her without any hesitation, and she suddenly understood.
Mrs. Wen was so happy at this moment. Her daughter finally got what she wanted. The way she looked at Xu Wenwu had changed. It was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the happier she was.
"Wenwu, Die'er, come and sit down. We are waiting for you two!" Mrs. Wen said happily. Her daughter was shy. Although she noticed it in front of so many people, she didn't dare to ask.
Prefect Wen was now able to get out of bed and move around. Seeing this scene, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Master Su, Master Jing, please take a seat and see if these dishes suit your taste."
Su Chenyu and Jing Chen nodded and sat down.
After the two of them sat down, Magistrate Wen finally sat down and said, "Wenwu, Qibao, you should sit down too. Your Aunt Wen has prepared all this in the kitchen."
"Yes, Uncle Wen!" said Xu Wenwu.
After everyone sat down, the servant brought up a jar of wine.
Magistrate Wen said, "This was given to me by Old Master Xu. I've never been willing to drink it. My wound hasn't fully healed yet, and the doctor told me not to drink alcohol. I can only offer tea to you two gentlemen!"
Wen Yuan filled everyone's cup with wine.
Jing Chen said, "It's okay!" and then drank the wine in the glass.
Mrs. Wen looked at this scene and realized that her husband must know the identities of the two young men in front of him, but she didn't intend to ask. Her husband didn't tell her because he had his concerns.
Xu Wenwu stood up, took the wine glass with both hands, and said, "Uncle Wen, I toast you!"
Magistrate Wen smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" After that, he drank the tea in one gulp. This was the wine offered by his future son-in-law, and it tasted really different!
"Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, Die'er and I are in love with each other. I have already promised that when I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, I will marry Die'er in a sedan chair carried by eight people. She will be my only wife from now on. Please approve of this!" Xu Wenwu said respectfully.
Wen Die didn't expect that Brother Xu would make such a promise in front of so many people, including her parents. It can be seen that Brother Xu is sincere to her, and her heart is filled with sweetness.
When Magistrate Wen and his wife heard this, their mouths were almost stretched to their ears.
"Okay! I've finally made up my mind! I agree!" said Magistrate Wen.
Mrs. Wen was also very happy and asked, "Wenwu, do you want to go back and discuss it with your mother before making a decision?"
Qibao smiled and said, "Aunt Wen, don't worry! My eldest aunt likes Sister Die'er very much and can't wait to get her back as her daughter-in-law!"
Wendie tugged at Qibao's sleeve and gave him a sly look, but she was actually very happy. Which girl didn't want to be liked by her future in-laws? Besides, she also really liked the atmosphere of the Xu family.
Madam Wen smiled and said, "That's good, I agree! But regardless of whether you can pass the exam, Wenwu, I hope you can get engaged first, otherwise it will not be good for Die'er's reputation."
After hearing this, Xu Wenwu felt that he had indeed been inconsiderate. He had not expected that Die'er, a woman without any status, would be waiting for him like this. It was not fair to her. If Die'er became his fiancée, it would be different.
"Aunt Wen, I understand! I was not thoughtful enough. When I get back, I will ask my parents to choose a good day and ask a matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage." Xu Wenwu said.
