Chapter 840 I Like You

e, Zhao Fenglin turned to look at Wu Yong and his wife. The two stood up awkwardly. Wu Yong's face was full of guilt, while Wan Gui'fen lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the family of three...Liàn Yī was surprised that Wēn Zhāo Míng had asked so directly, but it also saved her a lot of trouble. She immediately smiled and said:

"Wen Xiaoge, I've made it so obvious, can't you feel it" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You"

Wen Zhaoming wanted to speak but stopped himself. The other party didn't explicitly say anything, only hinting. He didn't want to overthink it, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

"I'm doing this for you, naturally because I fancy you."

Ripple saw the other person's concern and found this young man even more interesting. So she decided to be straightforward.

After ripples' confession came out, Wen Zhaoming's face turned red. An He beside him and荷花,翠花 who were not far away also looked surprised. Only Yueyue had a confused look on her face, apparently she didn't quite understand Ripples' confession.

After blushing, Wen Zhaoming tried his best to calm himself down. Then he took a deep breath and spoke:

"Miss Su, I believe you've heard about my family situation. To be honest with you, I lack both talent and good looks, and I also have family burdens. I'm simply not worthy of you. Please don't waste your time on me."

Liàn Yī was able to understand the other person's thoughts. She took a sip of her drink very calmly before speaking:

"Warm brother, your words are wrong. I think we two are quite a match."

I came to the countryside estate to observe filial piety. My parents passed away suddenly, which caused me to miss the township examination. Although our family is not incredibly wealthy, we do have some assets. Our relatives have long been eyeing my marriage prospects, but because I am observing filial piety, they have no reason to pressure me. This gives me a chance to breathe.

And the reason I'm hiding out on the estate is to avoid their plans to force me into an arranged marriage. It seems we're both victims of fate. The only difference is that because I'm a woman and have the reputation of being innocent, I'm able to make my own decisions.

You are in a similar situation to me now, but because you are a "co-boy" (referring to a male individual who was raised as female), the unfair treatment you will face will be even more severe. There are probably many people who care about you. As long as your younger sister doesn't grow up, you won't have a moment of peace.

As for what you said about your looks and talents, I think you are very much in line with my aesthetic preferences, and I really like it. Besides, you are literate and insightful, and you are also a good hunter. You have raised your only sister so well, and I admire your way of handling things.

Of course, I didn't mean to disrespect you. All of this is with the premise of marriage. If you are willing, I will arrange for someone to come and propose. We can get engaged first, and after we have served our filial piety period, we will be married.

Ripple calmly spoke of her plans, laying everything out clearly.

Wen Zhaoming was initially surprised that Miss Su, a person like her, would have such an experience. After hearing the other party's words, the blush that had just fallen on his cheeks rose again, especially when the other party mentioned marriage, he was truly taken aback.

"Miss Su, you don't need to pity me. I don't think I deserve you."

Wen Zhaoming still shook his head, then regardless of whether the snow had stopped or not, he directly pulled up his younger sister and bowed before running away.

"Tsk, how did he run away"

Ripple helplessly said, she didn't say anything either.

"Cough cough, Lian Yi, you're being too direct, aren't you Didn't you say this person was just an alternate choice How come you've already decided on them now"

Shiju simply couldn't hold back and blurted out a question.

"I think this young man is very good. He and the original body are a match made in heaven. As long as the original body is devoted to him, Young Master Wen will definitely help her achieve great success."

Ripples explained calmly.

"Alright! Since the original owner has entrusted you with the task of choosing a partner, just decide."

Then the millstone fell silent again.

At this moment, An He on the side wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back. She had known that her young mistress was prone to sudden whims, but she hadn't expected her to treat such a serious matter as marriage with such frivolity.

"An He, go to my study and get me "Travels of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" and "Three Character Classic". Also bring a set of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. Tell Lao Su to drive the carriage. I'll send them brother and sister back home so they won't catch a cold."

Yes, Miss!

An He reluctantly obeyed, then went to the study and found two books. She packed them into a bag, and then went to the stable in the backyard to relay a message.

Wen Zhaoming carried his younger sister, slowly walking back. However, Miss Su's words from earlier were still echoing in his mind.

He could feel that Miss Su was serious, but his current situation and the circumstances in the village didn't allow him to have any inappropriate thoughts. Especially with his mother having just passed away, he was observing filial piety, which was something he had in common with Miss Su.

"Big brother, is Miss Su coming to the house for a marriage proposal"

Yoyo asked curiously.

"Yue Yue, you can tell me this, but when you get back to the village, don't spread it around, okay"

Wen Zhaoming immediately instructed.

"Big brother, I know. I was just curious to ask you."

Yue Yue lowered her voice and said.

"Miss Su is a fine woman, but I'm not worthy of her."

Wen Zhaoming said gloomily.

"Your brother is so great, why wouldn't he be worthy I think Miss Su is a good match for him. She likes me and will definitely like your brother too. It's called loving the house by loving the person who lives in it!"

Wen Zhaoyue racked her brains and came up with this idiom.

Wen Zhaoming smiled after hearing this, thinking that his younger sister was still very confident.

As the two were talking, a horse-drawn carriage stopped beside Wen Zhaoming. The driver was an old man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a raincoat. He smiled and said to Wen Zhaoming:

"Little Brother Wen, Miss instructed me to send you both back to the village. Get in the car quickly! Don't let the children catch a cold."

Thank you, elder brother.

Wen Zhaoming wasn't being dramatic. The carriage had arrived, and he certainly wouldn't risk going back for his sister in the snow, so after sending her onto the carriage, he climbed into the compartment himself, and then Wen Zhaoming froze.

Because Miss Su was sitting in the carriage, she had already taken Warm Brightness into her arms and was feeding her warm water. For a moment, Warm Ming didn't know whether to enter or exit.

"Come in quickly, don't let the snow come in."

With a ripple of a smile, she beckoned him closer.

After settling into the train car awkwardly, Equinox spoke up:

"Don't worry, I'll take you home and then I'll go back. No one else will see me."

Thank you, Ms. Su.

The ripples nodded, then handed the other person a cup of hot tea.

"Have some hot tea to warm yourself up. The weather will be even colder after the snow falls. Have you prepared firewood and warm clothes at home"

Thanks to Miss To, the money from selling the wild boar plus the compensation from my uncle, we bought blankets and new cotton-padded clothes for me and my sister. This winter, we should be able to stay warm.

Wen Zhao visibly relaxed. He was afraid that Miss Su would continue the previous topic, but luckily she asked about some trivial matters.

"This winter, you could enlighten Zhao Yue. When spring arrives, you could send her to school."

The conversation shifted to Wen Zhao Yue's studies.

"My plans are the same as Miss Su's, but my younger sister's schooling will have to be postponed for a while. I don't have much money on hand and need to save some more."

Wen Zhao-ming told the truth.ing psychological therapy, leaving little time for job hunting. Moreover, her parents were understandably worried about her since she had only been back for a year or so."I'll go job hunting tomorrow,...
