Chapter 74 - He Needed a Wife (2/2)

Luo Jiaoniang rested her hands on her hips and said with an arrogant attitude, “I dare you to divorce me! I never break the seven laws. For what reason can you divorce me? Zeng Zhi, I tell you. Don’t forget that you got this position of the County Magistrate with the help of our Luo Family. If you divorced me, you would be nothing!”

Zeng Zhi opened up his eyes and glared at Luo Jiaoniang fiercely. He intended to slap her. But Zeng Yi shouted to stop his movement in panic, “Dad. Mom. Don’t quarrel!”

Zeng Yi looked sullen, showing an impatient expression. She shouted, “Mom, don’t you just think that father is not a great official so that you can’t show off in front of your sisters? You have me now!

As long as I get His Excellency, should my father still worry that he can’t be promoted or get rich? Should our family worry that no one flatters us? It will be better if you think of ways for me to catch the heart of His Excellency, rather than quarrel about those trivial things all day.”

The argument in the room was really calmed down by Zeng Yi’s arrogant words. She turned to talk to Shi Baojing, “Baojing, I find that you are in a good relationship with His Excellency. You help me to make an appointment with him by the Mingyang Lake tomorrow, and I will appear there by chance. Then I can accompany His Excellency to appreciate the lake. His Excellency will definitely change his opinion on me.”

Shi Baojing didn’t expect that she would turn to her for help. After a long while, she stuttered to say, “I, I am not familiar with him. His status is distinguished. How can I make an appointment with him as long as I want to?”

Zeng Yi raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly, “I don’t care. I have given you this task, anyway. I must meet His Excellency at the Mingyang Lake tomorrow morning.”

She yelled this command out as if she were assured and bold with justice. Even when Shi Qingxue had walked out of the lobby, she still heard it.

Qingxue couldn’t help being speechless. She felt that she was wrong to think that Zeng Yi was with a good shape but she was without a good brain. Wasn’t she quite smart? At least she had found a shortcut.

She sighed helplessly and didn’t intend to listen to the discussion in the room. When she just passed the corner, she saw Mo Junyang leaning leisurely against the beam column. Obviously, he also heard the conversation.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but ridicule with a smile, “Your Excellency is really charming. It hasn’t been one day since you arrived in Yecheng County yet, but you have one more admirer!”

Mo Junyang’s expression remained the same. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Jealous?”

Shi Qingxue hurriedly waved her hands. She couldn’t stand such admiration.

Mo Junyang stared straight at Shi Qingxue and suddenly asked, “You said before that we were not suitable?”

Shi Qingxue thought about it for a while before she was sure that it was a question, and then she nodded in doubt.

Mo Junyang smiled again, “If you are not suitable, who will be suitable?”

Shi Qingxue glared at him and showed a look, as if to say, “How can I know who is suitable for you?”

But Mo Junyang didn’t give Shi Qingxue time to express her thought. He said straightforwardly, “Didn’t you apologize and say sorry to me?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?” Shi Qingxue was a little embarrassed, but she wouldn’t deny what she had said.

Mo Junyang then asked, “Did you really mean it?”

Shi Qingxue glared at him again and responded angrily, “Of course I did mean it. Why should I lie to you? What exactly do you want? I have lived such a long time, but you are the first one to whom I have seriously apologized. Don’t you…”

She didn’t like to be entangled in this topic. It would embarrass her.

Mo Junyang said casually, “Is it enough to just say sorry?”

“What?” Shi Qingxue was astonished for a while. Then she realized that he implied that she was just saying. If she really felt guilty, she wouldn’t compensate him with just saying sorry.

Shi Qingxue’s face suddenly became hot. After a while, she barely calmed down, but she still didn’t dare to look at Mo Junyang’s eyes. She could only explain in a somewhat vague voice, “I really haven’t thought about compensation before. I was overwhelmed by my own matters. It would be ridiculous to talk about compensating you in that circumstance.”

She took a deep breath, and continued, “But since you have mentioned it, what do you want me to do? As long as I can, I will do my best.”

Speaking of this, Shi Qingxue felt herself a little pathetic.

She was so naive and longed for true love in her previous life. But she didn’t realize that she had indeed got what she longed for until she was dead for a long time.

The most pathetic thing was that she couldn’t accept that true love.

Mo Junyang got her promise in this matter. He didn’t look happier, nor did he look disappointed. He was just indifferent as usual.

After a while, he said softly, “I need a wife.”

“What?”

Shi Qingxue raised her eyes in surprise. She watched Mo Junyang for a while, and she was still not sure whether she had heard it wrong.

Mo Junyang didn’t repeat, but said coldly, “You heard it clearly.”

Shi Qingxue, “…”

She did hear it clearly. So she frowned and hesitated for a while before asking, “So do you want to marry Zeng Yi?”
