Chapter 180: I'm an Adult
Chapter 180: I'm an Adult
Xiao Wu, why do you want to marry me? Youre still a young girl. Its too early to get married. Ming Xi had a good impression of Feng Wu. He thought she was an honest, sincere and straightforward girl, but he didnt feel any love for her. On top of that Feng Wu was only 15. It was too early to get married. Did she understand what marriage was?
Because youre like Master. Master said if I want to get married in the future, I have to find a man like him. Feng Wu answered honestly in a quiet voice.
The Masters team: Girl! You dont have to speak so honestly!
The group peered at Ming Xis face cautiously. Anyone who heard a reason like that would feel some kind of way.
Sure enough Ming Xis mouth twitched. His eyes looked helpless, but there was clarity too. He thought of the love letter and how she had said he was like her master. He had laughed at the time, but he understood now.
Im sorry Xiao Wu, my answer is still no.
Oh.
No one expected Feng Wu to nod calmly and reply with a single syllable like that. There wasnt a trace of disappointment on her face.
Ming Xi didnt want to talk about it anymore. He immediately left after saying goodbye to the group.
His steps were a bit haphazard and faster than usual. Dont be mistaken, he still presented a graceful image, but it definitely looked like he was running away.
Her proposal that day failed and they didnt see each other again the rest of the semester
Tian hadnt known who Feng Wu wanted to marry; hed only known from his illustrious grandfather that she had proposed boldly to a classmate. But he hadnt believed it. Based on what he knew of her, proposing in public in front of so many people wasnt something she had the ability to do.
Therefore, Tian decisively misunderstood what she meant. He swallowed and took a deep breath. He was embarrassed. He didnt want to discourage her after theyd finally made up, but these kinds of things, they were better addressed sooner than later. Her lack of understanding would only hurt her in the future.
He deliberated on the best way to explain without hurting her too much. Xiao Wu, I know Bai is the only person in your heart, but the two of you arent well suited. I believe youll find a man who truly loves you in the future.
Tian expected her to be sad upon hearing this, but she was completely calm. It was unusual.
She looked at him with her big eyes and in her normal expressionless face asked, Who is Bai? There was a hint of confusion in her voice.
You dont remember Bai?! Tian was taken aback. He of all people knew how much she liked Bai. She had done so many crazy things for him. But now she was asking him who Bai was, and in such a confused voice.
He felt like hed been hit by thunder.
Why should I know him? Was this Bai an important person? Thinking about it, Feng Wu still couldnt recall the person.
Her brows furrowed. She was talking to him about her marriage proposal, so why was her big brother talking about Bai? Who was Bai? And what did he have to do with anything?
Feng Wu blinked her eyes.
If you dont remember him, then you dont need to try to remember. Hes unimportant. Whether Xiao Wu genuinely forgot, or was just pretending in order to heal her heart, he didnt intend to push the matter. She could keep forgetting Bai. It was better for her that way.
Big brother, you didnt explain why he wouldnt agree to marry me. Why doesnt he want to be Little Buns father? Feng Wu couldnt understand. Her brother looked really smart, so he would know why Ming Xi refused her.
Tian didnt know how to answer her. It looked like she was having a personal issue. Her obsession with Bai had not been a good thing. He knew he should be happy about her thoughts now but he was still worried. He was concerned that his little sister had tossed out Bai only to latch on to some other random guy.
Xiao Wu, I think youre still young. Its better to think about marriage in a few years. Tian said solemnly.
Sister Tian Yue said Im already a mother so Im an adult. She blinked and looked him in the eyes seriously.
Feng Wu thought about it. Master had said she would be an adult if she gave birth to a child. She was not married but she did have a child. Sister Tian Yue said the same thing, so it couldnt be wrong.
Feng Wu reaffirmed it in her heart: She was an adult.
Tian was speechless. Xiao Wu was a mother. It did feel far-fetched to say a woman with a baby was a child herself. He didnt know how to help her with her problem so he said he would find a way to help her. Then he ended their conversation as fast as he could.
Feng Wu was in a good mood. Her mouth twitched upwards. Her big brother said he would find a way, so when he figured out how, Ming Xi would definitely agree. Thinking about it lightened her mood considerably. It never crossed her mind he could have lied.
At the Feng house, Tian sat in a daze in his chair with a heavy expression on his face as he considered the heavy expectation placed on him. For a guy with zero experience in love, it was a lot of pressure. He had never even held hands with a girl who wasnt a member of his family. He looked helplessly around the room.
He closed his eyes and thought for a full 5 minutes, then he got up and determinedly walked to his mothers room.
Madam Lan had a worried expression on her face as she sat in her room. She wiped a tear as she thought about her daughter. Her baby would definitely be hungry. Living by herself, and with a child to raise, it had to be so hard on her!
