Reflections from the Past
Three years ago, Wang Xiangxiang was different from now. At that ti, she was being visited by matchmakers, but she didn’t want to enter a marriage blindly. Therefore, after each matchmaker’s visit, she would make a point of observing the prospective suitor before making any decisions.
This ti was no exception. The suitor was the young master of Dongfeng Restaurant, Li Fugui. She decided to observe first and see what kind of person Li Fugui was.
She arrived at Dongfeng Restaurant and chose a rather secluded spot to sit down, maybe she would encounter him, who knew.
Before long, she noticed a man who looked fairly decent talking to the shopkeeper who was treating him with much respect. Could that man be Li Fugui?
As she was sizing up the man, she realized that he was also looking her over.
And not only that, but he also walked over to her. Just as she was wondering why, she heard him speak very politely, "I am the young master of this place, Li Fugui."
"..." So he really was Li Fugui.
"Are you Wang Xiangxiang?"
"Yes." Wang Xiangxiang hadn’t expected Li Fugui to approach her to talk. Could it be that he also knew about the matchmaker’s visit to her house to propose marriage?
"Not very good-looking, I’m not interested."
"..." Wang Xiangxiang was shocked by this abrupt comnt, her complexion turned instantly pale. How could he say such a thing.
"If you don’t want to feel embarrassed by being rejected, just go ho and tell the matchmaker you disagree," Li Fugui said before turning to leave.
Wang Xiangxiang was really angry. Even if she wasn’t a ravishing beauty, she was still quite attractive. To be belittled and rejected before she could even get a word in!
She grabbed a cup of water from the table and splashed it towards Li Fugui, "Do you think you’re that handso? I’m not interested in you either."
Li Fugui, wiping his clothes, retorted, "You... You shrew, how dare you splash !"
"I splashed it at you alright! Lucky for I ca here today, or I would have been deceived by the matchmaker, who praised you to the skies, all lies."
"I was deceived by the matchmaker too. She told that you were demure and gentle, look at you, acting like a man, who would fancy that."
"Who are you calling a man?"
"I’m talking about you. Anyway, there’s no way I’m going to marry you, just give up on that idea."
"I would rather marry a pig or a dog than marry you. You’re the one who should give up on that idea."
Reflecting on the past, Wang Xiangxiang spoke indignantly, "Xiaoxiao, can you believe it? Are we not sworn enemies? He humiliated in public, called a man. And the matchmaker, what was she thinking, praising him endlessly, and then seeing him in person, it’s just not the sa. That’s why you shouldn’t go into a marriage blindly."
"What happened afterward?"
"What could have happened? Obviously, I went ho and told the matchmaker right away that I disagreed with this match."
Xiaoxiao really hadn’t expected the world to be so small, that the two of them could have been arranged to et, to think they even had such an episode. No wonder Wang Xiangxiang reacted like that when she saw Li Fugui.
Could it be that these past few years, Li Fugui had been rejecting all the won the matchmaker chose for him for the sake of Xiaotian?
She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Li Fugui is truly a good man, isn’t he."
"Xiaoxiao, what did you say? After how he treated , he’s still a good man?"
"Wang Xiangxiang, it’s not just you he’s targeted, he might treat all the won the matchmaker brings to him that way."
"Why?" Wang Xiangxiang was perplexed.
"Wang Xiangxiang, let tell you a story about a man with unwavering love, and maybe then you’ll understand," Xiaoxiao offered.
