Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Then Marry Me_1
Xiaobei finished speaking all at once and then lowered his head, nervously afraid to look at Xiumei, holding the brocade box high in his hands.
Xiumei froze, her mind buzzing.
It took a moment for her to understand.
Xiaobei had just proposed to her!
Good heavens! Xiaobei had asked for her hand in marriage!
Xiumei had never thought about it before, not knowing when Xiaobei started to have feelings for her.
Xiumei intended to reject Xiaobei by saying she didn’t plan to get married, but as the words came to her lips, an image of the imposing Xu Zhengyong suddenly flashed in her mind…
He was in full armor, carrying an aura of grandeur, his face smudged with dirt, looking weary and travel-worn.
Just as she was thinking, the figure in her mind transformed into the one in front of her—Xu Zhengyong went from her mind to reality, looking straight at her and Xiaobei…
Xu Zhengyong, having a day off, rushed to King Rui Residence to reunite with Wei Ruo and others.
He was travel-worn, having ridden half a day alone on his horse.
As soon as he dismounted, he rushed towards the backyard, only to stumble upon Xiumei and Xiaobei, who were conversing in the corner of the long corridor.
Xiumei, looking at Xiaobei then at Xu Zhengyong, didn’t know how to respond and abruptly turned and ran away.
“Lady Xiumei…”
Xiaobei was unsure whether he should chase her.
Just as he was hesitating, Xu Zhengyong darted off after her like a gust of wind.
Xiumei ran out of King Rui Residence, heading to the outskirts.
She ran past two streets and reached the outskirts—a vast field, with diligent farmers working on the frozen ground.
Running along the field, Xiumei was finally caught up by Xu Zhengyong.
“Meimei!” Using his lightness skill, Xu Zhengyong soared to reach Xiumei. “Meimei, stop running! Why are you running?”
Xiumei looked at the tall figure standing before her, unable at the moment to explain why she was running.
“Meimei, what’s wrong?”, Xu Zhengyong asked with concern.
“Why are you chasing me? Our Miss has arranged for you to meet with several eligible young ladies!”, Xiumei muttered.
“Ruo Ruo arranging for me to meet with young ladies has nothing to do with me chasing you.” Said Xu Zhengyong, “I can’t just abandon my childhood sweetheart because I’m getting married, can I?”
“You…”
Hearing Xu Zhengyong’s words, Xiumei felt a surge of anger for no apparent reason.
But when she pointed at Xu Zhengyong, she didn’t know what to say.
“Forget it, I won’t argue with you. You can go do whatever you want, just leave me alone!” Xiumei grumbled.
“How could I ignore you? You ran out of the house for a few miles, acting so strange. Of course, I need to find out what’s going on!”
Xu Zhengyong continued to ask, “Did that guy upset you? Just say the word, and I’ll go back and give him a lesson.”
“No, no!”
