Chapter 373: Chapter 278:
To be honest, Xie Wanqing had never thought about such a thing.
Just hearing it seemed absurd.
Seeing him mention it again after more than half a year.
She shook her head immediately, without hesitation: "Impossible, I never thought of marrying again."
As for what is meant by a marriage in name, she was even more speechless.
Once married, it’s an inseparable partnership.
He, the eldest son of the Ji Family, a promising Champion Scholar, is not an old bachelor who can’t find a wife. Why does he need to become a marriage in name with her just to appease his parents?
She refused cleanly, Ji Chengfeng pondered for a moment after hearing it, and said: "Then have you figured out how to tell Ran’er about his background?"
When starting school, he would go to the academy. Of course, it is also possible to invite a teacher to the house, but children always have to connect with the world.
He will eventually realize his growing environment is different from that of his peers.
Xie Wanqing waved her hand carelessly: "Just tell him his father is dead."
To her, it wasn’t a difficult thing.
Ji Chengfeng was stunned.
After a long while, he said: "That might be better."
"But the child still needs a father. You can reconsider my proposal,"
"You do not need to worry about other issues, my parents have never met you, even if you return to the Ji Family in the future, your identity won’t..."
"Cousin," Xie Wanqing raised her eyes to look at him, seriously said: "I really do not intend to marry again, you are not young, the matter of your life is pressing, do not delay any longer."
In the past year, the two of them lived under the same roof, seeing each other almost daily, becoming quite familiar.
Even if Xie Wanqing was slow, she had sensed something.
Chen Xixi was right, her cousin probably really had feelings for her.
Ji Chengfeng was excellent, with bright eyes and handsome features, a steady and self-controlled personality, a true gentleman.
Such a good man, he would be a loving husband.
If she were a young girl discovering emotions, she might have fallen for him at first sight.
But now, she couldn’t bear it.
At this moment, she spoke so clearly.
Nearly tearing the invisible paper between them.
Ji Chengfeng lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions beneath them, not sure of what he was contemplating.
Seeing him like this, Xie Wanqing felt a bit of a headache, she said: "With cousin’s conditions, the ladies in Bianzhou City are yours to choose."
This comment made Ji Chengfeng’s eyelashes tremble, he raised his eyes and looked over, "Aren’t you a lady of Bianzhou City?"
"..." Xie Wanqing paused, feeling complex: "I indeed am not a little girl anymore."
"Alright," Ji Chengfeng smiled, "If you don’t want to marry, then don’t marry, I can wait."
Xie Wanqing frowned slightly, "... Wait for what?"
"Wait for the day you might change your mind," he smiled and said: "If one day you feel too lonely taking care of the child alone and want to find a partner, please remember to consider me."
"You’re joking with your own life,"
Xie Wanqing said: "I plan not to return to the Capital in this life, do you realize what marrying me means?"
"Of course," Ji Chengfeng nodded gently, "You want a peaceful life, I can give it."
His tone was calm yet unyielding.
As if not recognizing the person in front of her, Xie Wanqing’s pupils widened a bit, "With all your talents, are you not thinking about serving the country, fulfilling your ambitions, but instead choosing to stay in this remote city for a woman."
"There’s no choice," he smiled again, "The scripts you read often say that the favor of saving one’s life should be repaid by marrying the savior, I marry you."
