Free Web NovelChapter 30: Chapter 30: Excuse Me, Can We Get Married?
Fu Mingxue wanted to say it wasn’t real.
But the damn thing really did exist in her mind.
’So—would she die if she didn’t marry him? Or would she die if she just didn’t get married at all?’
’The difference between the two was huge.’
The marriage mission on the screen showed that the reward for completion would be a courtyard house in Beijing City—and that made her gasp.
’Oh my God, really? A courtyard house like that would be worth over a hundred million in the future!’
’She couldn’t earn that kind of money in several lifetimes.’
The allure and the threat were equally immense.
’What should I do?’
Mrs. Fu watched her daughter stare unabashedly at the officer and found she could hardly bear to look.
She gave her daughter’s arm a sharp tug.
"Honey, the officer is talking to you! What are you gaping at?"
Fu Mingxue swallowed hard.
’Marry him. I have to marry him!’
’A property worth hundreds of millions—only a fool would say no.’
’Besides, if I don’t do this, I’ll die!’
’I went through all the trouble of being reborn. I haven’t even attended the university from my past life, and my mom hasn’t had the chance to enjoy a comfortable life because of me. How could I just die like this?’
Whether it was for the courtyard house or for her own life—her gaze became as steady as a rock.
Her voice boomed, "Comrade, I have something to say. Could we speak somewhere more private? We can talk at my house."
Mrs. Fu: ’...?! What’s she doing?’
Song Yan: ’...?! What kind of stunt is she trying to pull?’
Qin Wenhao: ’...?! What does she want to say?’
He gave her a deep look. "Of course. Lead the way."
Fu Mingxue: ’...?’
’Aren’t you even going to protest a little? I haven’t even figured out what I’m going to say!’
Her feet moved faster than her brain.
She was already leading the way.
Qin Wenhao glanced at her slender back, then started after her.
Seeing Qin Tuan actually head into the Fu family’s home, Song Yan made a move to follow.
But Qin Wenhao suddenly stopped and turned to look at Song Yan.
"Song Yan, cancel your leave and return to base early."
Song Yan: ?
"Yes."
He went no further.
He could only watch as they entered the Fu family’s courtyard. The moment the great gate swung shut, his heart sank to the abyss.
Mrs. Fu had just closed the door when she heard her daughter say, "Mom, could you please give us a moment? I need to speak with this comrade."
Mrs. Fu: ’...?’
She glanced at her daughter, then shifted her gaze to the man named Qin Tuan.
’Have to admit,’ she thought, ’the two of them standing together really do look like a perfect match—a brilliant man and a beautiful woman.’
"—Alright, you two talk. I’ll go start dinner."
With that, she headed to the small kitchen.
Of course, her ears were still pricked up—
"Are you married?" Fu Mingxue asked, getting straight to the point.
Qin Wenhao: ’...?’
"No."
"Are you seeing anyone?"
"No!"
"Is there someone you like?"
"No!"
"What about a woman you’re in love with but can’t have?"
The corner of Qin Wenhao’s mouth twitched. ’What in the world is she getting at?’
"No."
"Then what do you think of me?" Fu Mingxue asked, pointing to herself.
At this, Qin Wenhao’s eyes flew wide open. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Before he could answer, Fu Mingxue spoke again. "I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Fu Mingxue. Unmarried. Not seeing anyone, nor do I have a crush on anyone. Eighteen years old." ’Who says an old soul can’t play the part of a young girl?’
"I just received my acceptance letter to Beijing University. And I have no bad habits!"
"So, excuse me for asking, but... could I marry you?"
It was a very polite inquiry.
But it sent a tremor through Qin Wenhao, his pupils quaking in shock. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He had never lost his composure so completely in his entire life.
For a man who was always unflappable, this was a profound, staggering shock.
