"Marriage... What are you suddenly talking about... Idiot,"

Su Yuqian blushed and stammered,

"But didn't you say that this kind of secret relationship is not good at all?"

"Yeah? What does that have to do with marriage?"

Su Yuqian asked, puzzled,

"It's an agreement between me and my mother. As long as I can marry you, she'll help convince Zhiye to quit,"

"But this was an arranged marriage between our parents. Will your mother really help you? And if I can't face this either..." Su Yuqian expressed her opinion, and it was hard for me to believe,

"So, this method won't work at all. Maybe you should just explain it to your fiancée," Su Yuqian suggested when I didn't say anything,

"I've tried that before, and it didn't work at all. Besides, I don't want to risk my life," Zhiye's behavior scared me,

"You're useless..." Hearing Su Yuqian say this, I felt ashamed. If I had explained earlier, it wouldn't have come to this,

"To be honest, I don't quite understand you either..."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you like about me... Your fiancée seems much gentler and more virtuous than me,"

"Can I start over from the beginning?" I said in anger when I heard her words,

"Whatever, I don't care about you anyway," Su Yuqian got angry too, and I quickly tried to soothe her,

"If that's really the case, why would I go through so much trouble? I had that thought before, that it would be something to be proud of if I could date you. After all, so many guys who wanted to date you were rejected by you and even beaten," I said, trying to calm her down,

"So, you actually had that idea too, huh!" Su Yuqian sneered, feeling angry,

"I really want to be with you now. Being able to date you would be a happy thing," I said, smiling,

"That's not what you said before... Didn't you say it was because your mother and I have similar personalities?"

"That's also true. After all, my mother is someone I like. Thinking about my own mother, in my memory, she always treated me like a punching bag. Whenever I did something wrong, she would use her jujitsu, the crucifix lock and the shoulder throw. Those are my mother's killer moves,"

"Is your mother so amazing?" Su Yuqian showed an admiring expression,

"You're amazing too... Thinking back to when I first met you, I was all beaten up,"

"Well, that's your own fault. Who would go and bother someone like you did?"

"I was confessing... not bothering," I retorted,

"But you were stumbling over your words, not making any sense,"

"I admit I was a bit nervous at that time,"

"Really? But you were holding my hand for a long time. Does someone who's nervous do that?"

I realized that I was still holding her hand. I probably forgot because I was talking. I awkwardly let go of her hand,

Su Yuqian looked elsewhere, silent. To ease the awkwardness, I asked, "Why didn't I see your aunt?"

"My grandmother is sick, so my mother went to take care of her,"

"Oh... I see..." as I thought about it carefully, Su Yuqian was alone at home right now, and inexplicably, dirty thoughts came to my mind. I shook my head to get rid of those dirty thoughts,

I needed to solve the problem, so I said seriously, "Sign the marriage application with me. Then my mother won't have anything to say, and maybe we can solve the current problem... And also,"

Before I finished speaking, Su Yuqian coldly replied, "I refuse," leaving me stunned in an instant.
