478 Tang Yuan’s Romance (2/2)
[It worked out so quickly!]
Sun Xiao Mei stared stunned at the mirror.
A long time passed before two streams of tears flowed down her face.
Jun Mo Xie had been standing behind her. He sighed and said, ”We need to do this at least two more times… Then, your face will transform into the beautiful flower it should've been. In fact, I'm certain that another flower would be added to the peerlessly beautiful garden of Tian Xiang City by then. You'll be counted the same as Xiao Yi and Princess Ling Meng — a springtime flower. Someone without a rival! You will be transformed three hundred percent. But, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman is that Tang Yuan's fiancée. My spirits dampen as I look at this disequilibrium. This is a waste of a valuable thing. But, I'll make a beautiful woman like you my ninety-ninth concubine if you come with me.”
Jun Mo Xie's pretext of saving someone from a dire situation was getting 'increasingly excessive'. The first half of his speech was pleasant to hear. But, the second part of the man's speech was very brutish.
”Go to hell!” Sun Xiao Mei suddenly forgot that she was emotional. She then mercilessly struck at her benefactor with her fists and her embroidery-clothed leg since he was mocking her.
Jun Mo Xie laughed in a merry manner.
Sun Xiao Mei suddenly gave a long sigh after a while had passed. She then said, ”Young… Master Jun, there aren't enough words to thank you. But, you're Fatty's brother. So, I won't say much more. I only wish to ask you for one thing. Fatty's weight… is there a chance of reducing it? I'm worried about Fatty's health. Once he reaches his thirties…”
[This damned couple is too much! I first dealt with this woman's face. And, she simply turns around and requests me to reduce that guy's weight!]
”It's very dangerous… But, you will need to make him work with everything he's got if you want him to lose weight,” This issue had become a headache for Jun Mo Xie as well. [How can that guy lose weight the way he eats? He eats meat, drinks soup, and eats a hundred steam dumplings in one day! Could this guy still be called a man? And, can he lose weight…? That's a fantasy!]
”Please… you must help him lose weight! He's certain to die if he continues to gain weight,” Sun Xiao Mei seriously raised her head, and gave a worrying look to Jun Mo Xie. ”Fatty had once said… that he would personally take the initiative to cancel our engagement if my face is restored. It doesn't matter what he is like. He's a good man in my eyes! I… I… wish to be with him! I wish to live my life with that man… I want to grow old with him!”
She even blushed a little as she spoke those words.
[Fatty's a good man?]
[When did that Fatty become so noble?]
[Isn't this like a fairy tale?]
Jun Mo Xie was left flabbergasted. He picked his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, ”It would be difficult to make Fatty lose his weight. And, he isn't easy on the eyes. However, your face has been restored. In fact, you've now become a beauty who can bring down cities. Moreover, Fatty is willing to cancel his engagement with you. So, why don't you seize your freedom? After all, you could easily find a man who looks better than Fatty. All of us are acquaintances here, but what I say is true!”
”Jun Mo Xie, Fatty had sounded very sincere and honest when he had spoken about breaking our engagement. However, I feel that you sound…”
Sun Xiao Mei returned to her usual tranquil self. She wiped her tears, and looked at Jun Mo Xie, ”Are you testing me for your brother? Do I seem like a fickle and unfaithful woman to you? Am I like that?”
”Ah… that…” Jun Mo Xie was somewhat embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and didn't speak anything in reply.
”Tang Yuan is fat, and his looks aren't outstanding. In fact, I'm certain that no woman would find him attractive. And, I'm the same. But, Tang Yuan handles himself like a real man even if he's fat! And, I'm glad of this. I had resisted my father's decision when I had learnt that I would be getting engaged to Tang Yuan. I had told him that I wouldn't marry such a notorious fat man. However, I eventually made peace with the fact that I'm very ugly, and I couldn't land a great husband. But, I've changed my mind after getting to know him over these past months!”
Sun Xiao Mei spoke softly, and gave a meaningful look with her blurred eyes, ”It doesn't matter if he's good or bad… I've settled on him whether he's a good man or a tyrant! I'll be perfectly happy being Mrs. Tang whether he loses weight or not. I'll become the wife of an official if he becomes an official. And, I'll accompany him to the warehouses if he becomes a businessman. In fact, I'll stay by his side and beat the dogs with a cudgel if he becomes a beggar!
”Fatty is a good man, and I'm fond of him!” Sun Xiao Mei raised her head to look at Jun Mo Xie. She then spoke slowly, ”It doesn't matter if he's rich or poor… or handsome or ugly. I wish to accompany him throughout this life! In fact, I would rather not have my appearance fixed if it disturbs our marriage. After all, we'll be able to stay together if both of us have a huge deficiency in appearance…”
All women cherish their appearance. Sun Xiao Mei had looked ugly most of her life. However, someone like her would never give up on the opportunity of suddenly transforming her appearance into that of a beautiful woman. But, Sun Xiao Mei was ready to renounce her beauty for an ugly man who had next-to-no redeeming qualities. Who wouldn't be emotionally moved by this?
