Xinyue did a lot of thinking and couldn't figure it out by himself. He had no clue why Ruiling was so furious at his confession.
Mrs. Zhang and Cheng i saw him in deep thought with his eyes closed. His brows were moving up and down.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "What are you thinking, Xinyue? Is it about your mission?"
Xinyue had received a new mission to dig information about a most influential but corrupt politician who was sohow getting more bank balance than his job entailed.
"I prefer thinking about the mission which is way simpler than figuring out a woman," he sneered.
"You an to say won are more difficult to decipher?" She glared at him. "Preposterous!"
"Yes, yes!" Lihua also ca in who was way too curious to know what went between Ruiling and him. She did ask Ruiling, but she was so angry that she had shut herself in the room.
They bead. "Lihua, dear."
She hugged her Aunt and mother. Cheng i lovingly patted her head.
"So, tell what happened, Bro? Ruiling seed really annoyed after returning ho," Lihua suspiciously looked at him.
Mrs. Zhang also looked at him accusingly. "What did you do? She won't be angry for no reason."
Xinyue stared at the three won closely leaning towards him to hear him out. "Well, I think only female species can help out here."
He gave a brief version of what happened during their small shopping trip.
"And then she angrily said to figure it out by myself."
The trio - "...."
Lihua's lips parted in disbelief. "Y-You…confessed to her?"
"Yes."
"You already confessed to her?" She sounded even more shocked now.
"How is it different from your first question, little sister?" He dryly asked. "Yes."
"You confessed to her just like that?"
His mouth twitched in annoyance. "Yes. I swear if you ask a fourth version of this question, I will kick you out of here."
"Idiot brother!"
"Idiot Xinyue!"
Lihua and Mrs. Zhang exclaid at once. Cheng i, too, shared a cold and displeased look towards him.
Xinyue widened his eyes. "Hey. You three look the sa like her right now. Is it magic?"
Lihua gritted her teeth. "No wonder she is so flared up. Bro, you are the dumbest person in this family!"
Xinyue's expression darkened and turned ugly. "Say that again, little sister."
"You are the dumbest man on this whole planet!"
"..."
It beca a planet from a family.
Lihua helplessly exhaled a long breath. "Bro, you are CONFESSING to the woman you love. It's a big deal. Well, since you kissed her…" she coughed, "it was inevitable that you tell her you love her. But how could you ask her to be your girlfriend so…so plainly? Like in a cafe and as a matter of fact? Aren't confessions supposed to be beautiful and make your heart beat faster?"
"Since when?"
"Since the beginning, stupid bro! You never watched romantic movies?"
"I have only watched spy movies."
"..."
No wonder you are so hopeless!
Mrs. Zhang sighed. "Lihua is right. I an, asking her to be your girlfriend while you are casually eating your food-"
"Hey, I asked her after I ate my sandwich," he corrected her.
"Shut up! Who cares if it was while eating your damn sandwich or after eating your damn sandwich!? The point is that you must have looked so cold and unfeeling while popping that question. You did nothing to make her heart flutter," she harrumphed.
Xinyue frowned.
Mrs. Zhang shyly said, "You know, my husband had confessed to in a beautiful garden of roses. It was so pretty. I saw how he poured his heart into it. It made my heart ache so much…Aish."
Lihua sheepishly grinned. "Hehe, Wei also did sothing similar. Instead of a garden, he prepared a whole mansion for ! It was all decorated in violet because I like violet so much. He even cooked a feast for ," she sobbed. "That was such a wonderful confession whenever I think about it."
Cheng i's gaze softened. "Ling had taken to a fireworks festival, and he had confessed to on a bridge atop a beautiful lake while the fireworks lit up the sky and reflected beautifully on the water."
The trio then stared at Xinyue. Lihua remarked. "So you get the point? You should give a confession that she should rember for life."
"Hold on," Xinyue was dumbfounded. "Are you talking about confession or marriage proposal? Don't n usually plan big like this for a proposal?"
Mrs. Zhang glared at him. "Well yes…mostly. But what is wrong in giving an unforgettable confession too!?"
Lihua and Cheng i bobbed their heads in agreent.
Xinyue was speechless.
So, I wasn't really wrong in asking her. It's just that you won are spoiled! Those freaking doting husbands!
Uncle Weiyan and Li must have done sothing glamorous too to propo- to confess to their wives. That's why she got mad at .
Lihua puffed up her cheeks. "Why are you being so stingy in giving a grand confession? Don't you care about Ruiling?"
Xinyue glowered at her. "I am not stingy. I was saving my brain cells for a grand proposal in the future. I thought the confession was supposed to be simple and straightforward but clearly, it's not like that."
He scratched his head and then nodded. "I got it."
The trio bead in happiness.
"I will bring a red rose for her and ask her to be my girlfriend."
"..."
"You didn't get a single thing!" Mrs. Zhang lashed out. "Xinyue, you have been working for far too long now that you don't understand how to woo a woman, hmph!"
His mouth twitched.
"Fine then. How about a bouquet with a secret ssage for her to decode?" He gave it a serious thought. "That secret code will be my question."
"Bro, you have watched far too many spy movies I think," she was speechless.
"Secret codes are exciting and heart fluttering, excuse ."
"Not for Ruiling! She is not a spy like you! Do sothing normal."
His face twisted. "You shouldn't talk about normal when your stupid husbands went way over the normal with their confessions!"
"..."
"Forget it. I will co up with sothing by myself."
