Chapter Forty-Five: The Spring in the Garden and Who Will It Go (2)
"What?" Hearing this, Du Zhiqing couldn't help being surprised, and his expression finally changed slightly.
Her eyebrows moved slightly, and she asked Mo Jianchen with a bit of disbelief: "Is this true? The wedding is not something you can just joke about."
"Of course I take it seriously!" Mo Jianchen nodded deeply, his face full of solemnity, and said sincerely: "Since I caused the disaster myself, then I will definitely bear the responsibility. I said I want to marry you, and so on.
No joke."
"As long as you promise to turn back, I will tell my parents about the marriage proposal and marry you as soon as possible. In this way, there will be no rumors about you in Muzhou City, and you can keep your life."
Your reputation is on the line."
He paused for a moment, then took two steps forward, with some affection in his bright eyes, and said sincerely to Du Zhiqing: "Sister Zhiqing, I know that I have many shortcomings, and maybe you are also very fond of me.
Not satisfied, I also know that if I want to marry you now, I may not be worthy of you."
"But I promise you, I am definitely not marrying you to be perfunctory, nor just to be responsible. After you marry me, I will treat you wholeheartedly, never take a concubine in my life, and do my best to be a good person."
The way of a husband will never let you suffer any injustice."
"If there is anything about me that makes you dissatisfied, just tell me, as long as you say it, I will do my best to do it. Now as long as you marry me, you can make up for everything before, and I will do my best."
I won’t let you suffer.”
"Now everyone thinks that you and I have entered into a marriage contract, so sister Zhiqing, in order to preserve your reputation, how about you marry me? I swear that I will protect you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life."
When Du Zhiqing heard what he said sincerely, she couldn't help but be shocked and looked at him with disbelief. There was shock, disbelief, and emotion in her eyes.
She was silent for a moment, her eyes moved slightly, and she pondered for a moment in her mind. Then she asked Mo Jianchen again: "Marriage is never a matter of passion. If you propose marriage to me, what will be involved?"
There are so many things going on.”
"You haven't started teaching yet. If you get married at this moment, it will also have an impact on your career as a teacher. Moreover, marriage requires the order of your parents. How can you win the consent of your parents if you are a matchmaker?"
"What's more, marriage is not just about responsibility. If you live with someone you don't want to get married, you will also suffer. If you decide to marry me on impulse, I'm afraid you won't even have time to regret it in the future. You
But have you really thought about marrying me?"
"I have already thought about it. I must marry you." Mo Jianchen nodded without hesitation and vowed: "Although I am impulsive in small things, but when it comes to big things,
, I never act impulsively. I have thought deeply about marrying you for a long time, and I have considered everything carefully before coming to tell you about it."
"I have also thought about the matter of not being a master. If I can no longer learn martial arts from my master, then I won't learn it. My future is far less important than your reputation."
"As for the fate of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, this matter is easy to handle. We have been family friends for a long time, and my parents like you very much. They will definitely agree to let me marry you."
Du Zhiqing looked at the worry and panic on Mo Jianchen's face. Although his eyes were a little red, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said easily: "You are really a fool. It's just a game. You still take it seriously?"
Already."
"If my reputation is ruined by just one horse race, then how many times will my reputation be ruined, and how many people will come to propose marriage to me."
Seeing Du Zhiqing's suddenly relaxed expression, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but feel even more confused. He couldn't help but froze, and said blankly: "Sister Zhiqing, what do you...what do you mean by this? Could it be that what happened that day wasn't...
…”
Du Zhiqing suppressed his smile, took another breath, and blinked to prevent Mo Jianchen from seeing it. He put away the tears in his eyes and said to him calmly: "Actually, things are not as you imagined.
It's so serious, I won't ruin my reputation just because of this competition, and you don't have to go to all the trouble to prepare to propose marriage to me."
"The rules of the Jinghua competition are just a saying in the world, and it is not necessary to act according to these rules. What's more, marriage is a matter of strict ability. If it is not between you and me, how can you do it just because of a mere competition?
It counts as a marriage contract."
"Although some people saw it, we didn't take any action and let it pass. Even if they talked, they were just talking about the relationship between you and me. It would not damage my reputation."
"But you actually believed it, and actually made such a comprehensive plan to propose marriage to me, hahaha..."
As Du Zhiqing spoke, she looked at him and laughed again. Her cheerful look was as usual. Seeing that she had returned to her former bright and cheerful self, Mo Jianchen let go of his worries for a moment.
But looking at her carefree look, he felt even more confused, and said in a daze: "Sister Zhiqing, is what you said true? What happened that day... really won't lead to unimaginable consequences.
, are you seriously not joking with me?"
"But your reaction that day... your reaction that day was not like this. When I saw that look on your face, I really thought something big was going to happen. Didn't it..."
"Okay, okay." Du Zhiqing straightened his expression and said to Mo Jianchen: "Actually, I didn't know it at the beginning. When you beat me in grabbing the thorn flower, I panicked. I thought it would happen.
Something big happened."
"So many people saw it at that time, and they started pointing fingers at you and me. I was really scared at the time."
"I think they really think that you and I have entered into a marriage contract. If you and I don't get married in the future, my reputation will be ruined, and even the reputation of my parents and the entire Luanxiang Pavilion will be affected. That's okay.
Something really big happened."
"Later I found out that things were actually not what we imagined. Seizing the Jinghua was just a way of saying it, and it would not lead to any serious consequences. After I returned to Luozhu Hall that night, my mother told me...
"
After Du Zhiqing returned to Luozhu Hall in the evening after finishing the Heroes Competition that day, he told Mo Jianchen in detail everything his mother had said to him.
After returning to Luanxiang Pavilion that day, she was completely panicked, as if the sky was about to fall. She didn't even eat dinner, so she locked herself in the room.
