Chapter 76: I’ll Come To Propose Marriage Tonight
She opened the door and looked at Chu Yan, who was standing outside. She was at a loss.
Chu Yan had changed into black clothes and his long hair was tied up with a cloth. He stood tall and looked at Liu Sanniang with his ink-like eyes.
Liu Sanniang only felt that he was too scary. She always felt that his gaze was too hot, making her feel uncomfortable.
“My parents are not at home. Come back tonight if you have something on.”
Liu Sanniang mustered her courage and closed the door. Chu Yan said, “I’ll come and propose tonight.”
Liu Sanniang closed the door with a bang.
‘Ahhh, this lunatic. What did he say?’
She must be hallucinating. She would rather not marry than marrying someone so terrifying!
Liu Sanniang was not in a mood to continue embroidering anymore.
Chu Yan sighed and turned to leave.
Anxious for no reason, Liu Sanniang kept pacing around the house. She tried very hard to recall who Chu Yan had married in his previous life.
No matter how hard she racked her brains, she only remembered that he became the General of Dingbei in Yong County.
Who was his wife? Liu Sanniang couldn’t remember. In her previous life, she didn’t go out a lot and was ignorant of a lot of things.
The sky gradually darkened. Liu Sanniang rubbed her forehead. As far as she knew, Chu Yan was not married in his previous life!
There were only legends of his life in the army, but there was nothing about his love.
Chu Yan’s words scared Liu Sanniang out of her wits. She lay on the bed and wanted to cry.
When Madam Wei returned, seeing that Liu Sanniang did not cook, she went into her room and asked. “What’s wrong?”
Liu Sanniang couldn’t bring herself to tell her mother what happened. She said with a smile, “Nothing, I’m just tired.”
Madam Wei’s expression softened. “If you’re tired, rest for a while. I’ll cook your favorite braised fish.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
When it was dark, Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang returned.
Madam Wei cooked very quickly and a fragrance came from the kitchen.
Liu Sanniang had been on tenterhooks, but Chu Yan did not come even after dinner. She was relieved and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She went back into her room and lit a candle, prepared to start embroidering.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door. Liu Sanniang jumped up with fright and pricked her finger.
Liu Erlang opened the door and said casually, “Chu Yan, are you here to deliver the pair of tongs? Why didn’t you come earlier? We’ve already eaten.”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Erlang. “It’s not done yet.”
Liu Erlang was a little speechless. “Why did you come to my house then?”
Liu Dalang came out of the house. “My parents are in the house. Please come in.”
As Liu Dalang invited Chu Yan in, he gave Liu Erlang a cold look.
Chu Yan nodded at Liu Dalang. He walked towards the living room.
Madam Wei and Mr. Liu were discussing the preparation of their eldest son’s wedding.
Since there was a guest, they stopped their discussion.
However, Madam Wei and Mr. Liu were also a little puzzled as to what brought Chu Yan to their house.
Chu Yan entered the living room and said to Mr. Liu and Madam Wei, “Uncle, Auntie, I want to marry Sanniang.”
With his mouth wide open in shock, Liu Dalang couldn’t utter a word.
Liu Erlang fell to the ground. He was shocked. “The f*ck? What the f*ck did you say??”
Madam Wei was also stunned.
Mr. Liu was also stunned. They did not expect Chu Yan to be so straightforward!
After a while, Mr. Liu came back to his senses. “Chu Yan, what did you just say?”
Madam Wei looked at Chu Yan and frowned.
Chu Yan repeated patiently. “I said that I want to marry Sanniang. This is my betrothal gift.”
Chu Yan took out a wooden box and placed it on the table.
Madam Wei and Mr. Liu felt their minds go blank.
Liu Erlang was furious and was about to punch Chu Yan. “Chu Yan, you pervert. How dare you lust after my sister!”
Chu Yan tilted his face to the side to dodge the punch. Liu Dalang pulled Liu Erlang away. “Behave yourself!”
Madam Wei came back to her senses. “Dalang, take Erlang out.”
Liu Erlang did not dare to disobey Madam Wei.
He obediently let Liu Dalang pull him away.
Mr. Liu was a little silent. He looked at Chu Yan and then at the box on the table. “What’s this?”
Mr. Liu opened it and saw the banknotes…
Madam Wei was struck dumb.
Chu Yan said, “If I can marry her, I will protect her for the rest of my life and never let her suffer any grievances.”
Madam Wei looked at the box of banknotes. This was more than 500 taels. Why did Chu Yan have so much money?
Madam Wei looked at Chu Yan seriously. She realized that Chu Yan was really handsome. His eyes were a little cold, but he was really good-looking. He was much taller than her two sons. He was very quiet, but he was very sincere.
This was in line with Madam Wei’s standards of a son-in-law. Madam Wei did not like boys with a glib tongue. She liked boys who were sincere.
Madam Wei took a deep breath. “This is all you have, right?”
Chu Yan nodded. “Yes.”
Mr. Liu frowned and did not know what to say. For a second, he almost agreed.
At this moment, Madam Wei said, “Chu Yan, my daughter is different from other women.”
Chu Yan looked at Madam Wei. “I know.”
He continued. “I saw everything she did in the Zhou Mansion.”
Madam Wei was a little excited. “You, you don’t mind?”
Chu Yan shook his head. “No.”
Madam Wei did not know what to say.
The more Mr. Liu looked at Chu Yan, the more he thought Chu Yan was a perfect son-in-law.
Madam Wei looked at Chu Yan. She still felt that Chu Yan was a little too cold. Her daughter was gentle, and she was actually very incompatible with Chu Yan. But now, it was not a matter of whether they were compatible or not. No one dared to marry her. If people knew that Liu Sanniang was a psychic, they would not dare to marry her.
