BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307 - 285: Marry Him
Yu Minglang left Hai Zhao’s place drenched in cold sweat, and the breeze sobered him up.
He didn’t expect the problem to be this serious. Thinking of Xiao Qian’s angry expression, he felt his scalp go numb.
Standing on the road, he thought for a long time and decided to quickly resolve the issue by going straight to her place. He would not leave until she forgave him.
With only a little change in his pocket, Yu Minglang went back to his house to get some money. Fearing it wouldn’t be enough, he went to his elder brother’s place to borrow some money, and then went to the shopping mall to buy a ring. He also bought a bunch of rose-like flowers from the flower shop; this time, he made sure they were indeed roses.
He compared them to carnations and found that they didn’t look too different.
But women’s hearts are complicated. Making the slightest mistake can lead to grave consequences. Yu Minglang felt that his own Xiao Mei was actually quite reasonable compared to his friend’s wife, who would often throw tantrums for no reason at all. As long as the problem wasn’t serious, Xiao Mei wouldn’t bother too much about it. Hai Zhao just told him that, with his behavior, if he had been with a petty woman, they might have broken up.
Yu Minglang went to Xiao Qian’s house with determination to win her heart.
Even if she beat him and left his face bruised, he had to make her forgive him. Hai Zhao had also told him that if the first marriage proposal didn’t work, he could try again later.
When he arrived at Xiao Qian’s house, he saw her limping and struggling to find water to drink. He didn’t even have time to give her flowers, as he rushed over to her straight away.
“How did this happen?”
He was heartbroken to see Xiao Qian’s sprained ankle and bruised forehead.
When Xiao Qian saw him, she angrily slapped him and whipped him with a feather duster that her mom used for cleaning.
“You bastard! How dare you come here!”
Jia Xiufang saw that Yu Minglang didn’t dodge, so she grabbed Xiao Qian’s feather duster and scolded her while pointing at her forehead.
“You can’t even be careful while taking a shower, and you have the nerve to blame Ming Lang? If he had a bad temper, he would have been angry long ago!” “Aunt, let her hit me. I’m fine. What on earth happened?”
They had only been apart for a few hours, and this girl was already injured like a disabled person.
“Don’t mention it! This girl didn’t take her shower seriously, and she slipped and fell with foam all over her body. When she came out, she sprained her ankle, hit her forehead, and almost knocked herself stupid!”
Jia Xiufang’s scolding didn’t calm down Xiao Qian; instead, it filled her with even more hatred for Yu Minglang.
“It’s all your fault!”
“Yes, it’s all my fault. Don’t be angry, I can’t bear it if you get sick.”
Now, Yu Minglang only remembered the principle Hai Zhao taught him: always admit your mistakes, no matter how angry Xiao Mei is.
“Stop acting innocent and pretending to be a good person! It is your fault! If not for you, how could I end up like this? Ahhhhh!” Xiao Qian grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
Jia Xiufang hurriedly pulled her back and slapped her shoulder lightly while reproaching, “Are you a dog? Don’t always bully honest Ming Lang!”
“He’s not being honest! It’s his fault!”
Right after Xiao Qian got off the phone with Yu Minglang, she eagerly waited for him to call again. She rubbed layers of shower gel on her body, the drain in her bathroom was slightly clogged and the water drained slowly. As she was rinsing her hair, she heard her phone ring and assumed it was him, so she quickly reached out for it.
As a result, her vision was already poor without her glasses, and her eyes were barely open from washing her hair. She reached and slipped, falling and not only spraining her ankle but also hitting her forehead. Luckily, she grabbed the bathtub as she fell, which softened the impact, otherwise, she might have ended up with a concussion.
After the fall, she still anxiously checked her phone.
When she opened the message, she was almost furious.
Dear customer, your mobile phone has now run out of credit…
Now seeing Yu Minglang, the instigator, daring to show up at her doorstep, Xiao Qian couldn’t help but be furious.
When she was in the mountains, fighting wits and courage against a bunch of bad guys, she never suffered such a severe injury.
Coming home, she was provoked by her silly boyfriend to the point of slipping and falling in the bathroom, making her a laughingstock. It felt as though all her luck had been used up in the mountains, and she was plagued by misfortune upon her return.
“You girl, just know how to bully honest people! If you dare to bully Minglang again, I’ll cut you!” Jia Xiufang just said it, her hand was light.
Yu Minglang understood her intentions, “Aunt, she’s not bullying me; she’s just playing with me.”
“Brother Lang, you might want to go and get a rabies vaccine. Look at how deep she bit you!” Chen Zilong yawned as he came down from upstairs. Seeing the big bouquet of roses that Yu Minglang brought, his eyes lit up.
“Brother Lang, why did you buy so many flowers?”
“You talk too much!” Xiao Qian slapped away Chen Zilong’s hand, which was trying to touch the flowers.
“I’ll go buy groceries; Minglang, just eat here. Xiao Qian, don’t take advantage of my absence to bully Minglang!” Jia Xiufang warned Xiao Qian insincerely before leading her playboy son out the door.
They needed to buy more groceries and stock up for the upcoming New Year.
Now, only Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang were left in the house. He approached her wearing a big smile on his face.
“Qian Bao, stop being angry with me. I know I was wrong.”
“What’s wrong with you? It’s my fault, all my fault! Look, my mom is siding with you now. You’re becoming like her own son, and I’m like the daughter she got as a bonus for recharging her phone!”
Her mom didn’t even pity her for being injured like this, blaming her for not being careful with such matters despite her age.
But only biting Yu Minglang a few times won her playboy brother’s and mother’s support!
“It’s the same. My mom also sides with you. She almost slaughtered me just now, really, Qian Bao. If I hadn’t dodged fast enough, I would have become a poor soul under her drill.”
“Drill?”
“Yeah, isn’t it? Just because she thinks I bullied you, she took out her bonesetting tools. Those things were reflecting cold light and, in the blink of an eye, they struck right at my face!”
“So, Aunt was so quick to bring up the engagement because of this?”
Xiao Qian felt warmth in her heart, knowing the Yu family’s parents were good people. Even though it was just a misunderstanding, their attitude was still touching.
Usually, when a girl encounters such an issue, the boyfriend’s parents will hold grudges. Older parents may value such matters greatly. Yet when she returned, Mother Yu didn’t even mention this incident and only showed concern for her weight loss.
This family was good, and if she married into it, there probably wouldn’t be any major conflicts.
“Sort of; I didn’t bother explaining it either. Anyway, we’ll end up together sooner or later… wait, that’s not what I meant.”
Remembering Hai Zhao’s reminder, Yu Minglang grabbed the roses and attempted to kneel down on one knee to propose formally, but then…
