Chapter 77: Get Jealous Again (1/2)
Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko
“Is it the so-called that beauty lies in the lover’s eyes?” Speaking of which, Tang even gave an exaggerating start.
Until now, Lin understood why Tang could get along with Leng, for they were all mean.
Over dinner, everyone was seated around the dining table and naturally talked about the marriage between Lin Xin’er and Xue.
“You two will get engaged next week and married in two months. Such a time lag will make us well prepared for everything. Haolin, how do you like this?” asked Jiang in a low voice. She loved speaking at this moment, making herself look like the hostess of the Lin family.
Lin Xin’er wore a sweet smile all the time and looked at Xue with her eyes full of softness.
The latter covered the former’s cold hands put on her knees and said with a smile, “I agree with you as long as Xin’er is okay with this.”
Lin Youguo got satisfied with Xue’s attitude.
Xue’s family background met his requirements. Plus, Xue liked his daughter so much. Thus, he thought that he had had a smooth life recently.
After Lin Yaoguo glanced at Jiang, the latter turned her head around and said to Tang, “Fengmo, since the marriage between you and Xiaomi is set, why not set the wedding date soon?”
As Tang watched the affectionate behaviors between the two people sitting opposite of him, he was observing Lin Xiaomi’s reactions.
Suddenly, he heard his name called, but deep down, he had no good impression of Jiang.
Didn’t she give birth to Lin Xiaomi? But why did she treat Lin Xin’er, her stepdaughter, better than Lin Xiaomi?
Even if it was hard to be a stepmother and she might do those for fear of causing trouble for herself, she shouldn’t have wanted to marry her own daughter off so eagerly.
Tang replied artfully, “We’re not in a hurry. After all, I just met Xiaomi and still need some time to get to know her. Marriage is a solemn decision. I think Xiaomi hasn’t been familiar with me yet, so we still need time to know each other better. Xiaomi, what do you say?”
Lin Xiaomi naturally said with a nod, “That’s right.”
Both Lin Yaoguo and Jiang got darkened faces.
As far as Lin Yaoguo was concerned, the sooner the wedding, the better.
He was clear about Tang’s characters, knowing that Tang quickly agreed to the marriage because Tang was interested in Lin Xiaomi.
When the wedding date was delayed again and again so that Tang’s interest was gone, the marriage would turn impossible.
Lin Yaoguo unpleasantly glared at Jiang and invisibly beckoned her how she lectured her daughter before and why such a trivial matter was difficult to finish.
Jiang then kicked Lin Xiaomi under the table and said, “We don’t need to rush to set the wedding date. There is still time after Xin’er’s wedding, but you can do some trivial things from now, such as choosing the wedding dress. Xin’er will go and see wedding dresses this weekend and you can go with her. It’ll be good that you can pick up the one you like, but it’ll be okay if you don’t see any dresses you like. After all, you have to buy a formal dress for Xin’er’s wedding.”
Tang invisibly tutted in his heart and had never thought that anyone would be more brazen-faced that him.
He had expressed himself so clearly, but why were they so stubborn?
Did they indeed want to force a donkey to dance? Did they really want to force him to marry Lin Xiaomi?
Looking at the quiet and tender side face of the woman beside him, he felt itchy. The more he couldn’t get Lin Xiaomi, the itchier he felt.
This might be the deep-rooted bad habit of men.
Out of his curiosity, he gave Lin Xiaomi more interest than other women. However, since knowing that Master Leng liked her and that she was definitely off the market, he then found that he was extremely attracted to her.
He could only watch but couldn’t eat her who was in front of him every day, which was huge torture to him.
He was willing to marry her, but he didn’t dare do so.
He would die soon if he dared snatch women with Master Leng.
