Yu Hong sneered at Tan Xiu's words. She had lived in Changxi for so many years. Although her Yu Family wasn't one of the top families in Changxi, it was at least ranked in the middle. So, she naturally understood the thoughts of the younger generation.
This farce was related to the faces of the two families. Even if Ji Mu was full of arrogance, he probably wouldn't do something that would make both families lose face.
At first …
She had a good impression of Tan Xiu. After all, he was the man her good sister liked. But now it seemed that this guy was just a guy who couldn't figure out the situation and kept running his mouth off. The most important thing was that he dared to bet with her, which was simply asking for humiliation.
At the entrance of the restaurant.
Ren Ranran had an expectant look on her face, but in her heart, she firmly believed that Ji Mu wouldn't refuse her. Under the instigation of her good sister, this was a risky move. She liked Ji Mu and even had a deep affection for him. But she also knew that Ji Mu should only have a good impression of her before, and it hadn't risen to the level of liking and love.
"Ji Mu, you know my character. I used to hate this kind of trick of family marriage the most. But ever since you sent me to the hospital when I was sick three years ago, I found myself liking you. The longer time passed, the deeper my feelings for you became. My feelings for you are very pure, not mixed with any factor of your identity. I, Ren Ranran, like you as a person. Even if you have nothing, I'm willing to follow you with all my heart. Promise me, marry … no, marry me! "
Ji Mu frowned, looking at Ren Ranran with eyes full of anger.
Child?
Is this a bargaining chip?
She was using his and her identity to force him in front of everyone?
Ji Mu sneered inwardly and took out a cigarette under the watchful eyes of everyone. He didn't want to hurt Ren Ranran, but he also didn't want to be forced. If it were a few days ago, he might have temporarily agreed due to the pressure of their identities. But now …
"Ren Ranran, I used to think that you were a very smart woman. At least, after that incident, you didn't pester me. Even if we could continue our relationship step by step like before, I would also like you. But … what you did today was very stupid. Are you threatening me with a child? You're threatening me with the status of our two families in Changxi. "
"I, Ji Mu, am not a person who treats feelings as child's play. If there really are feelings between us, you don't need to force me. I will take the initiative to court you and promise you a lifetime of happiness."
"But now …"
"I refuse."
Ren Ranran was dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that Ji Mu's reaction would be so intense. He even … hated her behavior so much.
Was it wrong?
Was it wrong to love him?
She had given her body to him. She had really impregnated his child.
Why?
Why didn't they care about the reputation of the two families and rejected him so heartlessly?
Tears dripped down like beads from a broken necklace. Ren Ranran desperately shook her head. The hand holding the microphone was trembling as she loudly said, "Ji Mu, I didn't force you or threaten you. I just want you to know that I really love you. For you, I, Ren Ranran, am willing to throw away all the modesty of a girl and throw away that reputation. I just want to be with you. "
"Sorry."
Ji Mu shook his head indifferently.
Second floor window.
Yu Hong was tongue-tied as she looked at the scene. She had a big brain to begin with, yet she couldn't think at this moment. Even when he turned his head to look at Tang Xiu, disbelief was written all over his face.
"How is this possible?"
Her voice trembled a bit.
Tan Xiu let out an indifferent smile. He already knew that this would be the result. If Ji Mu hadn't obtained an immortal cultivation technique from him, perhaps he wouldn't have the courage to refuse. At least, he would've taken the Ji and Ren Family's faces into consideration. But now … even if he refused, the elders of the Ji Family wouldn't blame him. They wouldn't even … dare to blame him.
"I'm busy for the next month, so I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the feast you invited. But Miss Han has a lot of time. If you're willing to fulfill your promise, you can invite her to the feast! "
Yu Hong opened her mouth. Her face was a bit embarrassed and flushed. She recalled how she despised Tan Xiu when they made the bet just now, and she felt that she was even more ridiculous.
"Tan Xiu, do you know Ji Mu?"
An idea suddenly sprouted in Yu Hong's mind and she immediately asked.
Tan Xiu didn't conceal it and nodded. "I know him. I've met him a few times."
Yu Hong was speechless. She originally thought that Tan Xiu didn't know the situation and was just bragging. She didn't expect that he even knew the Young Master of the Ji Family. It seemed that he wasn't bragging when he made the bet with her, but he was really confident! She didn't know the situation and even foolishly despised him.
Thinking up to here …
Yu Hong wished she could find a hole to burrow into. She really didn't have the face to see anyone.
Tan Xiu looked at the tearful Ren Ranran below. Suddenly, his expression moved and he looked at Yu Hong again, saying with a smile, "Do you dare to make another bet?"
Yu Hong rolled her eyes at Tan Xiu and said with a wry smile, "I've been tricked by you. What else is there to bet?"
"I bet that Ji Mu will go back on his words and accept Ren Ranran. Do you believe me?" Tan Xiu lightly smiled.
Yu Hong stared blankly for a moment before she rolled her eyes and said, "Are you all right with me? Ji Mu has already sternly refused in public. With his character, how could he possibly go back on his words? "
"Then, do you want to bet with him?" asked Tan Xiu with a smile.
Yu Hong hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine. If you win, I'll treat you to a feast for two months. But if you lose, we'll call it even. "
"Deal."
Tang Xiu let out a mischievous chuckle. He stood up and pressed his hands on the window. He looked down and shouted, "Young Master Ji, when a woman puts down her dignity and pours her heart out to the man she loves, it means that the man has really earned it. Besides, she's pregnant with your child, so shouldn't you have some responsibility as a man? I heard that irresponsible men will have a bad reputation. That's right. Someone once told me that chopping firewood doesn't delay the sharpening of a knife. Even if you have a lot of other important things, you still have to have a family sooner or later! "
Below.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ji Mu suddenly froze. When he looked up and saw Tan Xiu, disbelief filled his eyes. Never did he expect that he would see Tan Xiu here. Immediately after, the awkwardness made him smile wryly inwardly. To think that Tan Xiu would actually see him as the protagonist. It was simply … shameful.
However …
He thought about it and suddenly felt that what Tan Xiu said made sense. Since Ren Ranran didn't even want a woman's modesty and dignity, it meant that she had sealed all her escape routes, indicating that her feelings for him were sincere.
Chopping firewood doesn't delay the sharpening of a knife!
The "other things" mentioned by Tan Xiu should be referring to cultivation. Having a family at the same time as cultivating would indeed not have any impact on it.
Responsibility?
Responsibility?
Ji Mu's expression constantly changed and he slowly clenched his fists.
Ren Ranran, on the other hand, was full of gratitude after hearing Tan Xiu's words. She didn't know Tan Xiu, but she secretly decided that regardless of whether Ji Mu would eventually accept her or not, she would still express her gratitude to him.
At this moment …
In the crowd, a woman in a black leather coat and holding a helmet suddenly stroked the hair on her forehead. She looked up at Tan Xiu and loudly said, "Hey handsome, you're a man with a sense of responsibility since you can say such words. May I ask if you have a girlfriend? If not, why don't you consider me? "
The smile on Tan Xiu's face suddenly froze. He scratched the back of his head and was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh as he said, "I'm sorry. I have a good wife at home, so I can't find a bed for her."
After that!
He directly retracted his head and picked up the teacup with a bit of embarrassment.
Han Qingwu didn't speak, but the smile on the corner of her mouth never faded. She couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Tan Xiu's slightly embarrassed expression and how he tried to conceal his embarrassment by holding the teacup. Although Tan Xiu had just made a bet with her good sister, Yu Hong, it was, after all, a good deed that made her feel that Tan Xiu had done a good job.
Yu Hong, on the other hand, couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing Tan Xiu's words. At this moment, she saw her good sister, Han Qingwu, looking at Tan Xiu with eyes that were almost shining. She couldn't help but say, "Tan Xiu, Ji Mu is the Young Master of the Ji Family in Changxi City. He's always had his eyes on the top of his head. Do you think he'll change his mind just because of those superficial words you just said? Dream on! "
"Who knows whether he'll change his mind or not!"
Tan Xiu put down the teacup and shrugged as he lightly smiled.
At the entrance of the restaurant.
Ji Mu's expression was constantly changing. He looked deeply at Ren Ranran, whose face was full of tears and expectation. Finally, he sighed secretly and walked a few steps forward. After coming to the front of Ren Ranran, he gently wiped the tears on her face and said, "I really can't give you a passionate love. But if you're willing, give me three days and I'll tell the elders of my family to go to the Ren Family to propose marriage. Even if we don't get married for the time being, we can still get engaged first. Love is not a child's play. Give me some time and I'll slowly cultivate it. "
Ren Ranran blinked and tears gushed out of her eyes again. This time, they were not tears of sadness but tears of joy. With an excited look on her face, she nodded and hugged Ji Mu. Then, she quickly said, "Wait for me."
After that!
She lifted the hem of her wedding dress and quickly rushed into the restaurant. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she went to the second floor and came to the front of Tan Xiu, who was sitting by the window. With a sincere and grateful expression, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much, Sir. I'm Ren Ranran of the Ren Family. If it weren't for your words today, I'm afraid I would have lost my love and future happiness. This Ren Ranran will always remember your kindness. If you need my help in the future, I'll definitely do my best to do it. "
"This girl is good."
Tan Xiu secretly nodded inside.
