Chapter 920: Chapter 622: Proposed To?

Dear readers, there’s some kind of dragon boat race under the book title. If you can, please give Nuan a vote or two or three…

———————–

That night, Huang Suai stayed at the Lin Family’s house without leaving. To be honest, her decision surprised everyone, including Lin Wenhang. You see, staying meant she had no way out.

“I find that the thoughts of a genius really aren’t something ordinary people can figure out,” Chuxia said to Zhou Mikang after returning to their room, puzzled. “Mingming said she wanted to give it a try with my second brother, but now her actions are a one hundred percent intention to marry my second brother. Am I right?”

Zhou Mikang nodded. “Your understanding is correct, and it should be absolutely good news for Lin Wenhang.”

“That’s true, but Second Aunt won’t be so happy, and Big Brother probably feels uncomfortable too. Sigh…” Chuxia sighed, looking conflicted. “Big Brother treats me so well, I feel like I can’t repay him.”

“Just being well and safe is the greatest repayment for him…” Zhou Mikang said, rubbing her head. “He’s good to you without expecting anything in return. If he knew you thought this way, he would be upset again.”

“I’m just saying this to you, I definitely won’t say it in front of him.” Chuxia smiled ingratiatingly. “You won’t tell Big Brother, right?”

Zhou Mikang slapped her on the butt. “Right, hurry up and take a shower or you won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, sir!” Chuxia picked up her pajamas and floated into the bathroom like a gust of wind, leaving Zhou Mikang speechless. Was he really that unreliable? Did she need to be on guard against him like a thief?

But was Lin Wenhang really as happy as Chuxia and Zhou Mikang guessed?

Apparently not.

He wasn’t sure if Huang Suai’s love for him was genuine. Therefore, if she was cautiously moving forward, he might have some confidence. But reaching this point all of a sudden, he completely lost his ability to judge.

He liked Huang Suai and dreamed of marrying her, but with a premise: he wanted her to sincerely want to marry him and to have at least some affection for him.

But now, Huang Suai’s approach made him feel like she was burning her bridges in desperation. He really didn’t want their relationship to be a compromise Huang Suai had no choice but to make.

It was just half-past nine, and Huang Suai probably hadn’t gone to sleep yet. He hesitated whether to find her to talk, but before he could come to a decision, there was a knock on the door — it was Huang Suai! He stared at her blankly, his mind in a jumble. “Won’t you let me in?” Huang Suai smiled at him, “I have something to say to you.”

“Please come in.” Lin Wenhang hastily stepped aside, closed the door, and followed her to the coffee table. After hesitating for a moment, he sat slightly off to the side, a little away from her.

“What is this? Afraid I’ll eat you?” Huang Suai chuckled, shaking her head. “Sitting there makes it awkward for me to talk to you. Sit across from me!”

“Okay.” Lin Wenhang obediently moved to sit across from Huang Suai, then quickly got up to get a cup to pour water. He was so excited that he spilled water all over the coffee table and hurried to get a cloth…

Watching him clumsily and frantically tidy up, Huang Suai kept smiling faintly. Once he finally sat down again, she said, “I just realized now, you’re really quite amusing.”

“Hehe…” Lin Wenhang let out a couple of dry laughs, unsure of what to say.

“Surprised by my change?” Huang Suai went straight to the point.

“Yes.” Lin Wenhang looked at her seriously. “I like you, I like you a lot, but if you’re being forced, I don’t want to take advantage of that.”

“I’m not being forced. I genuinely like the atmosphere in your family, Lin Wenhang. You’ve never stayed at my place, but ever since my elder brother got into trouble, I’ve been very afraid to be with my parents. That kind of silence…” After a pause, Huang Suai sighed heavily. “That kind of silence feels suffocating.

Today, in your home, I was very happy. Even though I was constantly explaining and still not being accepted, the atmosphere in your family is good, making me feel at ease.

Even when the atmosphere wasn’t that great at times, it was still much better than my home. I had already decided to go back, but suddenly, I felt I wanted to marry into your family, and then I stayed.

I believe everyone is puzzled by my decision, and some may even look down on me, but that’s just my personality. Once I’ve decided, there’s no more dawdling.
