Chapter 257 Then I'll Depend on You
He Jinglan winked at Mu Nanzhao, "How can you be so ignorant!"
"Does Fengqiuhuang know that you have asked Xixi for marriage? Have you confessed your true feelings to her? How much can she believe your sincerity? It's too informal and disrespectful to ask for marriage right away. Who would agree?"
Mu Nanzhao was startled, frowned and looked at Gu Xixi, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I... I really don't have any experience in this area."
"Boss Gu, it's my fault that your reputation has been damaged. I should be held responsible for this."
He Jinglan couldn't help but turn her face away and sigh.
It's really disgusting!
What does it mean to be responsible for this? Will this person confess his feelings? Isn't he well-versed in poetry and good at writing songs? How come he can't even say a romantic word at this time? !
The throbbing in Gu Xixi's chest died down instantly, and she said with a wooden face, "Oh, about this matter. I agreed to let you live in my house. I'm used to being responsible for myself, so I won't bother you anymore."
At this time, Aunt Zhang had recovered her spirit. She walked up to Mu Nanzhao and stared at him seriously.
"Xiao Mu, right?"
"Tell me the truth, did you get married just to take responsibility, apologize, or to please my family?"
"Ah?" For the first time, the man who was smarter than a fox showed an expression as honest as a quail.
"Responsibility is the result, and the cause is naturally joy."
He was even a little confused and wondered why he would propose to a woman if he didn't like her.
Wow! He Jinglan held her hands to her heart with excitement, screaming in her heart.
He was so happy, so happy, so happy, he finally said it out!
God, she actually let her witness with her own eyes the thousand-year-old fox descending to earth and the first flower blooming on the old iron tree! !
He Jinglan's voice trembled with excitement. "I can testify that the elders of the Mu family have introduced several marriage proposals to him before, and there are girls who have chosen him on their own, but he is unmoved!"
"This guy would never compromise himself to please anyone. If he wasn't really happy, he would have found other ways to repay a favor. He would never propose marriage on impulse!"
Aunt Zhang looked at Mu Nanzhao, angry and amused, "When did you have this idea? If you don't say it out loud, how can we know?"
Mu Nanzhao thought about it carefully and said uncertainly, "Actually, I'm not sure either. Maybe I saw her smile when she was trying to find the medicine for me."
"Or maybe, she and I were in danger at the border, and she came back and dragged me along, so that we could live together."
"It may be even earlier. We fell into the animal trap in the back mountain..."
Listening to Mu Nanzhao's words, Gu Xixi's heart was filled with waves.
She also didn't expect that the cold person could say such heart-warming words.
Although it was the first time I was proposed to.
But she has experienced secret love, open love, and even a short-lived relationship that ended in failure because she was in a long-distance relationship for work, so she knows what it feels like to have a fluttering heart.
Oh no, she was actually moved.
Gu Xixi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and think.
Come to think of it, it was definitely not just because of the sudden proposal.
Before, it was because we had lived under the same roof for too long and had shared hardships many times.
Naturally, she also accumulated some feelings for him in her heart.
Everything seems to make sense.
But to Gu Xixi, the word marriage is like a curse.
In the original book, Gu Xixi's tragic fate began with her wrong marriage with Mu Nanzhao.
Mu Nanzhao hated him because Gu Xixi bought him and insisted on marrying him.
Now Mu Nanzhao did not fall in love with Gu Qingye as expected, and Gu Qingye seemed to have temporarily withdrawn from the plot.
What can I do next?
If the female supporting role can only be a female supporting role, even if Gu Qingye didn't exist, Mu Nanzhao would still meet the true destined female protagonist...
The beautiful heartbeat in Gu Xixi's mind cooled down.
Aunt Zhang continued to ask about various details. The more she asked, the more satisfied she became. He Jinglan and Shitou were also very happy.
Everyone was smiling and happy, and had already made preparations for the upcoming wedding.
The old doctor had long observed that Mu Nanzhao had a decent character, so he did not object.
Gu Xixi raised her head at this time and said, "You only said that you like it, but you forgot that mutual love is the way for a couple."
"Thank you for your favor, but I have no plans to get married."
He Jinglan's pupils dilated again and she refused!
In just the time it takes to eat a meal, she witnessed Mu Nanzhao propose, confess his love, and then be quickly rejected.
Shitou was a child and spoke without restraint, "Sister Xixi, don't you like Mr. Chen?"
Gu Xixi's eyes flickered, and after a pause, she said, "I don't have time to think about this now."
He Jinglan and Aunt Zhang caught Xixi's momentary hesitation. They exchanged glances, but they were not so anxious anymore and just looked at Mu Nanzhao's reaction.
I thought he was used to being noble, and would at least show displeasure after being rejected in front of so many people.
But Mu Nanzhao was surprisingly calm.
"Oh, no hurry, I can stay for two more days, you can take your time to think about it."
Gu Xixi choked and finally could not remain calm, she glared at Mu Nanzhao fiercely.
"Come with me to the backyard!"
She said as she stormed off, "You guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me."
Mu Nanzhao said something to everyone and then followed.
In the backyard pharmacy, Gu Xixi lit the oil lamp.
Mu Nanzhao looked around and asked, "Did that An Hu guy instigate you to do this?"
The originally empty spaces were replaced with wooden racks, leaving only enough space for one person to pass sideways.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What do you mean he instigated me?"
"You know nothing! These are the tea bricks that Brother An made himself according to the method I described. If you can successfully make Jinhua Fucha, we can make money together. I only need to provide the technology, and he will provide the site, labor, and management."
"My attempt to plant tea trees will also make some progress. Then I can pick out the varieties that are more suitable for local growth and can be used to make Fu tea. Then I can optimize and promote planting. I have already..."
As Gu Xixi was speaking, she suddenly noticed that Mu Nanzhao was smiling and looking at her seriously.
This made her feel uncomfortable. "Why are you looking at me like that? Why don't you say anything?"
Mu Nanzhao smiled, his eyes sparkling, "I think you have never changed. As long as the topic is related to farming, you will always become more talkative."
"Even your whole state is the most relaxed at this time."
Gu Xixi blushed and said fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense! I didn't call you here to talk about this."
"I won't marry you!"
Mu Nanzhao nodded, "Well, I am mentally prepared."
"I'll be with you for the next two days, you can look at me and think about it."
Gu Xixi gritted her teeth secretly, why is this person so stubborn?
Wasn’t he like this in the past?
Her thoughts raced, she changed her strategy, and gave Mu Nanzhao a sly smile.
"Two days? Okay, whatever you want."
"But the battle of the Northwest Army is not over yet. Huo Jiang probably won't be happy about you coming out this time. He won't let you leave for too long."
Seeing Mu Nanzhao frowning, Gu Xixi knew that she was right and her smile deepened.
"It's just two days, I can bear it. But in order to squeeze out that time, you have to rush back as fast as you can. What if you fail to make it in time and miss the important thing? You know you can't pick up my sesame seed, but you also lose your big watermelon. How unworthy is it?"
