Xi Jiuchen crossed his arms and looked at the woman beside him as if watching the excitement, waiting for how she would deal with this matter.
Tang Zhixia gave Zhan Qingye a helpless look, and then said to Mrs. Xi, "Grandma Xi, Qingye's proposal last time was his fault. Don't take it seriously. We are just good friends."
"What? Can such a thing as a proposal be messed up?" Old Mrs. Xi looked at her and Zhan Qingye in surprise.
Zhan Qingye said with a serious face, "Zhixia, I propose seriously. I want you to marry me, be my wife, and let me take care of you for the rest of your life."
Tang Zhixia raised her head and looked into Zhan Qingye's eyes, which revealed his expectations affectionately. Tang Zhixia couldn't help but panic. She pursed her red lips, and for a moment she didn't know how to reject him in front of Mrs. Xi. She
You also have to give Zhan Qingye some face.
Xi Jiuchen stretched out his hand to hold the teacup and took a sip of water. His dark eyes were filled with treacherous clouds, making it impossible to read his thoughts.
He was also waiting for the woman next to him to express her stance.
"Look, Qingye really likes you, Zhixia. My Qingye is a good boy. I hope you will consider him." Mrs. Xi arranged the match. She really wanted Tang Zhixia to marry her.
"Grandma Xi, I..." Tang Zhixia was forced into a difficult situation for a moment.
"Zhixia, I am serious about you. From the moment you saved my life, my heart, my body, and my people all decided to belong to you." Zhan Qingye did not miss the opportunity to express his love.
I also hope that with grandma present, Tang Zhixia will no longer run away from his feelings.
Tang Zhixia's beautiful eyes blinked, and her red lips were pursed and bitten for a while, as if she was caught in a mental battle.
Xi Jiuchen held on to the cup and drank tea elegantly. The thick eyelashes weaved dense shadows in his eyes, covering his dazzling eyes.
Tang Zhixia's eyes suddenly glanced at him quickly as if asking for help, but she only saw half of this man's handsome profile. He seemed to be aloof from the incident and would not give her any help at all.
Tang Zhixia lowered her eyes after just one glance. She was upset inside. What did she want him to do? He simply came to see her jokes today, or he was just a spectator.
"Zhixia, is it difficult to agree to Qingye's proposal?" Mrs. Xi asked gently.
And Zhan Qingye's eyes were full of expectation. He wanted an answer, and Tang Zhixia answered sincerely.
Tang Zhixia doesn't blame Zhan Qingye. Like Xi Jiuchen, his feelings for her are all out of repayment. Even if he really likes her, Tang Zhixia cannot accept this feeling.
"I'm sorry, Qingye, Grandma Xi, I can't marry Qingye." Tang Zhixia raised his head, his eyes were clear and his voice was firm.
The man who was drinking tea next to him had his mouth curled up slightly.
"Why?" Mrs. Xi asked in surprise.
Zhan Qingye felt disappointed again, but he was not angry because he was very patient with Tang Zhixia and he would not shrink back because of her repeated rejections.
"Because I have decided that I will never marry again in this life." Tang Zhixia's voice sounded firmly again.
"Pfft..." A man beside her who was drinking tea elegantly suddenly took a sip of water. He quickly covered his lips with his big palm and turned to stare at her quickly.
Tang Zhixia faced three pairs of surprised eyes. She explained very calmly, "I already have a child, and the child is everything to me. As a single mother, please understand my situation, even if I will marry again."
, I will not have a second child, my love, all my energy will only be on my own son, so Qingye deserves a better girl."
As a woman, Mrs. Xi can understand Tang Zhixia's words easily. A mother does not want her child to participate in a new family. If she has a second child, harm will be inevitable.
"Zhi Xia, in my eyes, Chenchen is like my own child. I will treat it as my own. I am willing to respect your idea. If we don't have any more children, we can just raise Chenchen up. How about that?" Zhan
Qingye said immediately.
Mrs. Xi on the side was secretly anxious, how could that be done? The son-in-law of the Zhan family would not agree! Her daughter would definitely not agree either, she had to leave one for the Zhan family.
Xi Jiuchen frowned and said to Zhan Qingye, "Qingye, don't be ridiculous. You must also respect the wishes of your uncle and aunt."
"Brother, I can make the decision on this matter myself." Zhan Qingye said calmly, also wanting someone to know how determined he was to pursue Tang Zhixia.
"Qingye, thank you for liking me. I have made a decision that I will never marry again. No matter if it is you or another man pursuing me, I will never marry again." Tang Zhixia said it to death, because this is indeed what she feels in her heart.
Thoughts.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Jiuchen, who was sitting next to her, turned dark and ugly. He glared at her and said, "Miss Tang, leave yourself a step to get off! To avoid being slapped in the face later, it will be ugly."
Tang Zhixia glared at him and said, "I can do what I said myself. I don't need Mr. Xi to worry about me."
Mrs. Xi was stunned. Why didn't she understand her grandson's words?
At this time, the dishes were arriving one after another. Seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, Mrs. Xi quickly called to Tang Zhixia, "Child, come on, let's not chat for now. Let's eat the dishes and chat while eating."
"Zhi Xia, eat some vegetables." Zhan Qingye stretched out his hand to put vegetables into her bowl.
"Thank you Qingye, I'll do it myself!" Tang Zhixia said politely.
Mrs. Xi sighed and said, "Zhi Xia, we must have been destined in the previous life, so I sincerely hope that we can be a family."
"It is also my blessing to know you."
"Your mother sacrificed herself to save Jiuchen, and you saved Qingye abroad. With this kindness, you are my family."
When Zhan Qingye heard his grandma mention this matter again, he was not surprised. He just thought that his cousin was also repaying the favor!
At this time, Mrs. Xi said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Grandma, let me go with you!" Tang Zhixia immediately put down his chopsticks and came over to help Mrs. Xi get up. Mrs. Xi happily accompanied her out.
The moment the door closed, Zhan Qingye looked at Xi Jiuchen with a compelling look, "Brother, are you really pursuing Zhixia?"
Xi Jiuchen did not dodge the question, "Yes!"
"Are you repaying her kindness, or do you really like her?" Zhan Qingye asked straight to the point.
"Both." Xi Jiuchen said in a low voice. It was helpless to compete with his cousin for a woman.
"I fell in love with Zhixia first, you can't compete with me." Zhan Qingye clenched his fists and said.
"This kind of thing does not matter who comes first, whoever has the ability can own her. In other words, the choice lies in Tang Zhixia's hands." Xi Jiuchen also tightened his expression.
"Okay, let's maintain the last proposal. If you win, I will call her sister-in-law. If I win, you will call her sister-in-law. How about it?" Zhan Qingye bluntly declared fair competition. Even if he loses,
Even after losing to Xi Jiuchen, he was willing to admit defeat.
