Free Web NovelChapter 66: Chapter 66: I Also Think I’m Very Good
Mrs. Fu was just about to say something, but Qin Wenhao spoke up first. "Mom, Mingxue is right. We’ll talk about that after the wedding. Since you’re here this time, why don’t we just hold the wedding in Beijing City? What do you think of the eighth?"
Fu Mingxue’s eyes widened.
Mrs. Fu, on the other hand, was overjoyed. "The eighth is a great day! Let’s set it for the eighth."
She had been hoping for a wedding banquet for a while. Only then would it feel truly official.
Now that her son-in-law had brought it up, she was, of course, all for it.
"Since Mom has no objections, that’s great." Qin Wenhao turned his head to look at Fu Mingxue. "What do you think, Mingxue?"
Fu Mingxue wanted to roll her eyes at him.
’You didn’t ask for my opinion at all when you were deciding just now.’
’And now you remember to ask me.’
’Could I possibly say no?’
"I, I think—"
Mrs. Fu cut her off. "Of course she thinks it’s great. It’s settled, then. By the way, what about your parents?"
"My parents and my grandparents feel the same way. It mainly depended on your and Mingxue’s opinions. If you both agree, they’ll start preparing for the wedding."
"Oh, that’s wonderful! We’ll be troubling your parents, then," Mrs. Fu said, delighted.
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’So, as the person actually involved, my opinion doesn’t matter at all?’
That night, Mrs. Fu prepared a guest room.
Fu Mingxue had originally planned to find Qin Wenhao and talk about canceling the wedding.
But her mom was keeping a close watch, so she gave up on the idea.
Still, she lay in bed for ages, unable to sleep.
’Getting a marriage license and then divorcing is one thing.’
’But if we hold a banquet, it’s like announcing it to the whole world. How could we possibly divorce then?’
’My mom would kill me.’
After tossing and turning, she decided this wouldn’t do. So she quietly got out of bed and went to the room next door.
She knocked lightly on the door—KNOCK KNOCK.
Qin Wenhao, who had just lain down, heard the faint knock, and a glint appeared in his deep-set eyes.
He got up to open the door, and when he saw his little wife looking all sneaky and furtive, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Terrified her mom would see, Fu Mingxue pushed past him and quickly slipped into the room.
She then promptly shut the door.
Qin Wenhao: ...?
’Wasn’t she just unwilling to even sleep in the same room with me? What does she want, running over here now?’
Fu Mingxue heaved a sigh of relief, then looked up and realized how close she was to him.
"Wh-why are you standing so close to me?"
Qin Wenhao gazed at her intently. ’His little wife seemed a bit unreasonable.’
"I’ve been standing right here the whole time."
"—Never mind. I came to talk to you about something. I’ll leave as soon as I’m done. Can we just... not have the wedding for now? You can just say you don’t have time, that you have something urgent with the army—"
"I’m on leave from the army until the fourteenth," Qin Wenhao said slowly.
Fu Mingxue’s eyes widened. ’Wasn’t he supposed to be really busy?’
’How could he get such a long vacation?’
"Just tell a little lie. A little white lie—"
"No. I never lie."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’Does a person have to be so inflexible?’
Qin Wenhao narrowed his eyes. "Why don’t you want to have a wedding? Why didn’t you refuse earlier?"
Fu Mingxue: ...?
"W-we agreed, didn’t we? That we’d get divorced in a year?"
"Agreed? Who did you agree with? I’ve said it before, my family doesn’t do divorce. If you’re that set on it, you can have one when you’re a widow."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’The man is ruthless. He’d even curse himself.’
Before she could speak, Qin Wenhao pressed her again. "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"N-no. You’re great."
"I think I’m great, too. In that case, you have even less of a reason for a divorce."
