CHAPTER 2231: 2231. THE LOVE OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION, VERY SWEET (144)

She answered honestly, then added, "You are that pie."

Tang Jingxing was taken aback, not expecting Lu Xinyou to answer like that.

After all, he had asked her before, what would she think if he really wanted to marry her.

She told him that she still needed to find a boyfriend.

That tone clearly didn’t take him into consideration.

He looked into Lu Xinyou’s clear eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, asked:

"Do you want this pie?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xinyou was stunned, then, with a shocked look in her eyes, "Are you not angry?"

"Why would I be angry?"

Tang Jingxing smiled and said, "I think it’s great, since I already have a wife here. My parents don’t have to worry about me not being able to find a wife."

Lu Xinyou: "..."

You’re really humble, huh?

The young master of Tang Group, worried about not finding a wife?

Oh, wait...

Lu Xinyou thought of something, looked at Tang Jingxing, and asked:

"You lied to me when you said you were very poor, and your dad didn’t like to work, so you had to support your family."

Tang Jingxing: "..."

Confronted with Lu Xinyou’s questioning gaze, Tang Jingxing felt a bit embarrassed and then tried to explain awkwardly:

"My dad left all the company matters to me. I have to both film and manage such a big group. Do you think it’s hard for me?"

Heh heh heh, that must have been really tough for you.

Lu Xinyou muttered in her heart, but didn’t dwell on it.

Her mind was still occupied with the so-called "childhood betrothal," and she said seriously:

"If you don’t like the idea of this arranged marriage, you can back out."

The color in Tang Jingxing’s eyes suddenly deepened—

"Do you want to back out?"

In fact, he knew in his heart that this so-called verbal marriage contract was just playful words from their parents back then.

No one could hold it against them.

As long as one person is unwilling, this marriage won’t happen.

But he didn’t expect Lu Xinyou to take their parents’ joking words seriously, especially when—

Thinking of her evasive and guilty gaze when she looked at him before...

Was it because she didn’t want to admit to this marriage contract, so she was embarrassed to face him, or was it because...

She felt that the marriage contract was tying her down, so she felt guilty.

Lu Xinyou wasn’t sure about her own thoughts. Such a good marriage partner, who wouldn’t want to back out?

Moreover, this person was her idol for many years.

Why be a "wife fan" if not to have a husband like this?

It’s just that, this "pie" was too unreal for her, so she never thought about making it come true.

Seeing that Tang Jingxing didn’t seem to want to skip this topic, Lu Xinyou thought for a moment and decided to go with her own feelings, saying:

"If I don’t back out, will you be angry?"

Tang Jingxing was actually prepared to be rejected, but suddenly heard her say this, his face froze for a moment.

Then, the smile on his face spread uncontrollably, shaking his head and saying:

"Not angry."

"Really?"

Lu Xinyou asked in astonishment.

"Really, not only am I not angry, I am very happy."

The smile on Tang Jingxing’s face couldn’t be concealed, and it didn’t seem to be fake. Lu Xinyou couldn’t help smiling as well when she saw it.

The previous uneasiness disappeared at this moment.

But then, she worried again:

"What if you meet someone you like in the future?"

She thought that Tang Jingxing wasn’t repelling or rejecting this verbal marriage contract only because he hadn’t met someone he liked yet.
