"Little Aunt, I know you’re looking out for , and I’m grateful, but this decision is made, and I believe ti is the best redy. Once people see us living happily, they won’t gossip anymore.
Also, regarding the rumors about Xiao Ru, they’re actually very unfair to her. She was indeed on Xiao Yuwen’s radar before, but Xiao Yuwen didn’t gain any advantage. It was my teacher and who took care of Xiao Yuwen.
The reason Xiao Yuwen ended up a ruined man was because he had inappropriate thoughts. Xiao Ru was indeed rescued by us at the most critical mont.
That’s why, when Xiao Nan ntioned Xiao Jiang, I said Xiao Ru wouldn’t be like that because when Xiao Yuwen tried to get at her, she fought back desperately, and after we saved her, she wasn’t the least bit dejected.
She chose to leave because she considered what you said, Aunt, and wanted to avoid trouble. She has always been thinking about , not trying to escape for herself. Such a brave girl can’t possibly be like Xiao Jiang’s wife.
Little Aunt, if I choose to avoid and retreat because I’m afraid of rumors, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. I hope that when you see Xiao Ru again in the future, you can be a little kinder to her, and I would be imnsely grateful!"
Cheng i sighed with a heavy heart: "Alright, since you’ve said this much, persuading you further would just be ddling. It’s getting late; I should head back, and you should also rest early."
"Little Aunt..." Seeing Cheng i’s displeasure, Cheng Guo felt a bit awkward. He knew he might have spoken a bit harshly, but as a man, he must create a world for the woman he loves. If even his family can’t accept Li Xiaoru, how can he build a world for her?
Cheng i waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, enough, don’t act like I’m accusing you wrongly. If it’s sothing you want to do, what more can I say? Anyway, I’ve said all I could, and done all I should. Whether you live well or not in the future is up to your fate."
"Brother, you’re just ungrateful..." Xiao Nan wrinkled her nose at Cheng Guo, "See, you’ve upset my mom, she won’t worry over you foolishly anymore, regret it later!"
"Don’t talk nonsense..." Cheng i glared at her daughter, "I’m his aunt, do you think I’d take it to heart like that?"
Everyone just chuckled softly, knowing that Cheng i was just like this; expecting her to say sothing gentle was impossible. Her current words ant she wasn’t angry anymore.
The next day, Cheng Guo went to find Li Xiaoru early, pulling her to a quiet place, he smiled happily: "Xiao Ru, last night I talked with my parents and my aunts, and everyone shared a unified opinion that there will be no more unpleasant encounters for you; you can move back ho with today."
After a mont of silence, Li Xiaoru looked up and smiled at him: "Brother Guozi, before we get married, I don’t want to live at your place. Today, I’m going back ho."
"Xiao Ru..."
Li Xiaoru interrupted him: "Brother Guozi, I’m not speaking out of anger. I didn’t sleep all night, thinking a lot. Actually, living at your place now will lead to more gossip. Though we may not care, over ti, hearing such words still has an effect.
I promise that if Brother Guozi wants to marry , I won’t run away again. But I also hope Brother Guozi can think clearly, whether it’s love or sympathy you feel for .
Moreover..." She paused for quite a while before saying, "I know Brother Guozi always has soone else in your heart. I hope you truly consider if you’ve chosen the right person."
Cheng Guo’s face turned red instantly. Having been told this yesterday, and now by Li Xiaoru, did it an his previous behavior was too obvious? Did it an his teacher and Wu Jingbo were also well aware of his thoughts? The more he thought, the redder his face beca, and for a mont, he couldn’t help but be distracted...
Li Xiaoru sighed inwardly, so it was true. However, she wasn’t jealous of the person Cheng Guo liked; compared to that person, she indeed fell short.
Actually, last night she deliberately tested Wu Jingbo, and discovered that Wu Jingbo truly had no interest in Cheng Guo. Moreover, Wu Jingbo noticed her intention and seriously talked to her.
She liked straightforward girls, so regardless of whether Cheng Guo always had Wu Jingbo in his heart, she wouldn’t give up on Wu Jingbo as a friend. During her most difficult tis, Wu Jingbo’s help was no less than Cheng Guo’s, for which she was deeply grateful.
If possible, she’d wish for Cheng Guo to be with Wu Jingbo, but unfortunately, it seems impossible at the mont. However, seeing Cheng Guo’s current state, perhaps she should put in more effort to help him...
"I’m sorry..." Regaining his senses, Cheng Guo quickly apologized, "I admit, I had thoughts about Wu Jingbo, but that was before we t again.
Now, I really like you. I was just lost in thought, thinking whether my behavior had caused many people to misunderstand. If that’s true, I... I really don’t know how to face them."
"Don’t rush to respond. I hope you think it through before deciding." Li Xiaoru smiled at him, "Everything that’s happened recently has been so sudden, my head is a bit muddled. Yesterday, Aunt’s scolding woke up; this is a lifelong matter, and I don’t want you to regret it.
Brother Guozi, don’t see as too weak; even if you don’t love or marry , I’ll still live well. I want to be filial to my parents and give them a happy life.
They’ve suffered enough already; I will never let them worry about again. I will strive to be a daughter they can be proud of, not a parasite that relies on others to live."
"It’s good you think that way, I support you, but..." Cheng Guo smiled and ruffled her hair, "You’ll be by my side your whole life, or else, whatever you do, I’ll co and make trouble for you!"
Sotis, such teasing words sound more touching than serious promises. Li Xiaoru’s lips curled into a big smile, feeling that heaven has indeed been good to her...(to be continued.
