Chapter 650 Fang Luxue's Decision
"Help, help, help..."
Fang Luxue was so frightened that she couldn't speak a complete sentence.
Aji reacted quickly, grabbing Wan Qiqi's arm and pulling her back.
Wan Qiqi was pulled forward by this force and crashed directly into Fang Luxue.
The two fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" Fang Luxue cried out in pain.
"Are you... alright?" Aji's eyes darted around, seemingly a little guilty about pulling the people back and causing them to fall.
Logically, he should have pulled the person into his arms to avoid bumping into others.
However, Wan Qiqi is a married woman. If others were to see her, it would be difficult to explain, and it would also be bad for Wan Qiqi's reputation.
He still wanted to rely on Wan Qiqi to make his business thrive, and he didn't want to cut off his own escape route.
With a human-shaped cushion, Wan Qiqi was naturally unharmed, but her forehead collided with Fang Luxue's, causing her considerable pain.
Fang Luxue not only had a headache, but also pain in her hands and buttocks... In her opinion, there was nothing that felt uncomfortable.
With her palm facing upwards, blood was seeping from her fair skin.
Seeing this, Wan Qiqi turned to Aji and asked, "Do you have any alcohol on you?"
Aji reacted quickly and handed over the small wine flask hanging from his waist.
Fang Luxue looked at Wan Qiqi's actions, then at the wine, and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
She knew that if the wound came into contact with alcohol, it would hurt terribly.
"Don't move it. Clean it with alcohol, otherwise the wound will get infected and leave a scar." Wan Qiqi's voice was very gentle, as if she were treating some rare treasure.
Fang Luxue only obediently handed her hand to Wan Qiqi after hearing that she would be left with a scar.
Not long after, Fang Luxue's wound was treated and bandaged.
As she walked, she looked at her hands and turned to Wan Qiqi, "Sister Qiqi, how am I supposed to eat with my hands wrapped up like this?"
Wan Qiqi really didn't know how to bandage, so she wrapped Fang Luxue up like a dumpling, unable to move at all. "It's okay, I'll feed you!"
"Oh!" Fang Luxue responded softly, then looked at Aji in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qi, why are you with him?"
Fang Luxue had previously worried that Aji would harm Wan Qiqi, but Aji's subconscious reaction just now told her that Aji had no ulterior motives towards Wan Qiqi.
"We bumped into each other on the road and got together!" Wan Qiqi explained.
"Sneak peek together?" Fang Luxue asked, tilting her head.
Wan Qiqi touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, "I was admiring the lotus flowers and just happened to see them."
Fang Luxue didn't doubt Wan Qiqi's words and continued, "Xie Xing is a strange person. He doesn't agree to this marriage, but he still accepted the invitation."
"marriage?"
"Yes, he's engaged to Miss Zhou Wanxiang of the Zhou family. The two families have already exchanged birth dates and times, and it seems the betrothal gifts have already been given!"
Fang Luxue had heard some of the things, and she had witnessed them herself.
Just two days ago, she saw the Xie family's carriage parked in front of the Zhou family's house, carrying boxes of things into the Zhou family's house.
Wan Qiqi guessed what was going on, but she didn't expect that an engagement had already been arranged.
Thinking back to today's flower viewing banquet, Zhou Wanting and Zhou Wanxiang were secretly watching from the sidelines. Was it to let the two get to know each other before the wedding?
If you're familiar with someone, you shouldn't peek.
Recalling Zhou Wanting's appearance when she came to book the flower viewing banquet, Wan Qiqi suddenly had an idea, but she wasn't sure.
In ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and Zhou Wanting followed this rule. How could she possibly let her younger sister resist the marriage?
Seeing Wan Qiqi's brows furrow slightly, Fang Luxue continued, "This was arranged by both families, and perhaps neither of them is willing! I originally wanted to come and see if Xie Xing would ask Zhou Wanxiang to break off the engagement, but I didn't expect that the two of them didn't even meet."
"How do you know?" Wan Qiqi asked curiously.
Fang Luxue turned her face away and remained silent. She didn't want Wan Qiqi to know that she had come specifically to join in the fun!
Zhou Wanting didn't invite her at first; it was only after she knew about this and deliberately loitered around the Zhou family that she was invited.
She wasn't doing this specifically; she just disliked that her father wouldn't let her go to Xinglong Restaurant. Little did she expect to run into the person she wanted to see here, and she was overjoyed!
Wan Qiqi didn't ask any more questions, feeling that it was someone else's family matter and that it was inappropriate for her, an outsider, to interfere.
But Fang Luxue, who was beside her, wanted to ask, "How have you been at home these past few days? You can't even drink, yet you still tried to outdrink Feng? Are you out of your mind?"
Fang Luxue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and hugged Wan Qiqi's arm, saying coquettishly, "I'm still so angry! Feng Gan is the most upset. I heard that the woman who used to cling to him is dead, and now no one dares to keep him company, hahaha..."
Thinking of this, Fang Luxue felt happy and smiled.
Her laughter was quite loud, attracting Aji's attention and making him turn around.
Fang Luxue suddenly remembered that there were outsiders present, so she stopped smiling and avoided looking at them, then abruptly changed her tone, "Sister Qi, do you think we can only obey our parents' orders and not have the freedom to choose?"
Wan Qiqi was taken aback.
She always felt that Fang Luxue was still young and hadn't considered this issue for her.
Upon closer reflection, the original owner was already married at this age!
“If it were my daughter, I would let her choose for herself and I wouldn’t want to restrict her,” Wan Qiqi replied in a different way.
If we talk to Fang Luxue about free marriage, this girl will probably cause a scene with her family.
She can choose to be free from worldly constraints, but she cannot sow discord between others and her family.
"I wish I were your daughter!" Fang Luxue replied casually, without realizing that something was wrong.
Wan Qiqi was stunned, thinking: I could never give birth to a daughter as big as you!
But she probably knew that Fang Luxue wanted to make her own choice, but her family might not agree and would instead choose a family they thought was better.
“Sometimes, you have to learn to communicate with them in a way they can understand. I think Mr. Fang and the others aren’t pedantic, and they’ll understand what you’re saying.”
