Chapter 1425: 244, Uncle Er, kiss! (41)
Seeing Zhao Suxin’s expression, Liu Limin knew that her sister-in-law was still brooding over Xia Hen’s sudden departure that day.
Not only Zhao Suxin, but Lady Fan looked even more upset. Her darling daughter, whom she had cherished for over twenty years, had finally co to her senses, only to et an irresponsible man. How could a mother bear it?
Moreover, after Xia Hen had left, the pain and sorrow Liu Limin endured were clear for them all to see. Now, as Xia Hen suddenly turned up proposing marriage, it was no wonder they weren’t pleased!
Lady Fan and Zhao Suxin’s displeasure confused Liu Huaiqing and Liu Siliang, though. The young man before them was handso and well-mannered, and it seed his family background was not inferior. Why didn’t these two won like him?
Upon seeing Liu Limin, Xia Hen looked as if he had seen his savior, quickly standing up with a smile that perhaps even he didn’t realize was quite natural.
“Limin, you’re here! I’ve co to propose to you. How about it, are you satisfied with these betrothal gifts? If you are, then let’s quickly…”
“Quickly what?” Liu Limin interrupted him coldly. If she had felt so excitent and anticipation before, now, after hearing Xia Hen’s words, her heart full of expectations had been let down.
Is this a marriage proposal? Coming alone with a small box the size of a lunchbox to propose?
Where’s the matchmaker? The elders? Even if there are no elders, shouldn’t he bring soone influential from his clan? Coming alone to propose, what kind of behavior is this!
Xia Hen was stunned by Liu Limin’s words: “I… We should get married!”
“Get married?” Liu Limin laughed bitterly: “When did I say I wanted to marry you? Yes, I did say that in Zhuma Town. But you’ve forgotten; at that ti, you didn’t agree. You just turned and left! Since you’ve already left and refused, why co to propose today? I’m sorry, I don’t agree.”
Having said this, Liu Limin, without regard for Xia Hen’s expression, turned to leave, but after a few steps, she couldn’t help but look back.
Seeing her turn around, Xia Hen thought she might have changed her mind, but what he heard instead was Liu Limin’s rebuke.
“I’m saying, Xia Hen, have you gotten stupid from drinking too much? Have you ever seen anyone propose like this? Alright, alright, I know you’re Young Master Wuhen, you disdain worldly matters as Wuhen. How could you engage in such a mundane affair as marriage? You’re proposing to today, is it just for that wine? Hah, really, it turns out that in your heart, I’m less important than that wine!”
As she spoke, Liu Limin’s tears finally fell. It had been nearly a year, almost a year since a few days’ interactions, a single life-saving favor, had made her deeply fall for this carefree man.
Who could understand the pain in Liu Limin’s heart? At first, she indeed intended to brew good wine and use it to capture this man’s heart. But after so long, she suddenly felt so tired, especially today, when this guy actually ca to propose just for the wine. How ironic!
“Leave, I will not marry you! Not only , but you are also not allowed to drink any of the wine from Liu’s Brewery ever again!”
Liu Limin shouted hoarsely, venting all the frustration that had been suppressed in her heart for so long.
Watching Liu Limin suddenly cry, Xia Hen was montarily stunned, the folding fan in his hand closing involuntarily, and his mind went blank, his tongue even stiffened.
Could it be true? Had he drunk too much, becoming a fool from the wine?
Liu Limin burst into tears, and Lady Fan and Zhao Suxin felt both heartache and anger but didn’t notice that the na Xia Hen called out by Liu Limin sounded familiar.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both glared at Xia Hen, “Young Master Wuhen, you’ve already understood Limin’s feelings, haven’t you? Then, please leave quickly, our Liu family can’t afford a son-in-law as good as you!”
Although they hadn’t grasped the situation yet, Liu Huaiqing and Liu Siliang were already full of sympathy and heartache for Liu Limin.
Zhao Suxin wiped away the tears from Liu Limin’s eyes and shouted loudly, “Where are the people? Hurry up and get this pervert out of here! From now on, this man is not allowed in Liu Family Manor! Chase him away every ti you see him!”
The won who had been eavesdropping nearby were already infuriated by Young Master Wuhen’s betrayal from the start and sward out when they heard Zhao Suxin’s words. They charged at Xia Hen, waving their aprons, and chanting as they went.
“How dare you bully our Miss Liu! Just because she has a gentle nature doesn’t an you can take advantage of us! No way!”
“Hmph, Miss Liu has our protection from now on. If you want to bully her again, you better think twice!”
“Sisters, hurry up, let’s get this pervert out! We must avenge Miss Liu!”
Xia Hen was utterly speechless, who would have thought that his marriage proposal would be t with being chased out by a group of won, truly a blow to his glorious and beautiful image!
The strength of these won was indeed formidable, in just a few words they had already chased Xia Hen away, not to ntion chasing him out, he might not even be seen in He family village anymore.
anwhile, Liu Limin had already vented her feelings and her emotions returned to normal. She sniffled a few tis then suddenly lifted her head, “Mom, where’s Xia Hen? Did he really leave?”
Lady Fan was a bit confused, “Yes, didn’t you say to let him go?”
“I! I…” Liu Limin stamped her foot and pouted in regret, she was just angry for a mont after all, she didn’t really want him to go!
Lady Fan and Zhao Suxin looked at each other in bewildernt; no wonder they say you can’t trust the words of a woman in love. Indeed, one mont she was crying and shouting to let the man go, and the next mont she regretted it; this naughty girl’s face changed too quickly!
However…
Zhao Suxin suddenly thought of sothing and asked in astonishnt, “What did you just call him? Xia Hen? He’s related to Xia Zheng as…?”
Liu Limin bit her lip, “He is Xia Zheng’s second uncle, closely related.”
Now everyone in the room was shocked. Xia Zheng’s second uncle? They recalled what Lady Liu had said; wouldn’t that an he was already over thirty years old? But why did he look almost like he was still in his thirties? Liu Limin was twenty-two, almost twenty-three now, so Xia Hen was a whole decade older than her; was such a significant age gap really appropriate?
However, people nowadays didn’t pay much mind to the age issue, and since Xia Hen had taken good care of himself, not seeming that old, it wasn’t unacceptable.
But still, to have a niece marry a nephew, and a little aunt marry the second uncle? Such relationships really added a whole new level of closeness!
Lady Fan was having a hard ti wrapping her head around it all, and waving her hands, she went back to her room, “No, no, I can’t handle your affairs; I need to rest. How much worry do I have to endure for your sake, you troubleso girl! Truly such a headache!”
