Chapter 25: Domineering
"So domineering!"
"I just love men like this!"
"That response is simply perfect, let’s see how Aunt Cui Hua replies!"
When Liu Zixuan said he wanted to marry all the women in Cui Hua’s family, a thunderous applause erupted beside him, and some beauties behind were cheering.
But Cui Hua and her mother were left completely dumbfounded by his words.
After a moment, Aunt Cui Hua snapped, "You’re just talking nonsense!"
"Aren’t you talking nonsense too?"
"You!" Aunt Cui Hua was immediately tongue-tied, unable to say a word.
Cui Hua, seeing the situation becoming more awkward, quickly apologized to Liu Zixuan, "Dr. Liu, I’m really sorry, my mom just got a bit confused, that’s why she came up with such a method."
"No, no, your mom isn’t just a bit confused." Liu Zixuan teased Aunt Cui Hua, smiling, "Auntie, you’re really too clever, even a smart person like me fell into your trap! You should have become an actress."
"Oh, I just wanted to find a man for Cui Hua! But..."
"Stop right there. Next time, find a more foolish scapegoat."
Liu Zixuan shook his head and headed out. Such an absurd event made everyone quite helpless.
Her intentions weren’t the worst; she just wanted to tie Liu Zixuan to their family.
However, this way of doing things made everyone a bit displeased.
After leaving Cui Hua’s house, a group of beautiful women surrounded Liu Zixuan.
"Liu handsome, what you just said was simply too cool."
"Exactly, marrying all the women in their family, that really suits your identity!"
"I’ll give you 101 likes, there’s one extra for you to be proud of!"
Listening to these women’s words, Liu Zixuan grinned a little, "Ladies, it’s fine to compliment me, but please, never use this trick, okay? I only have two kidneys, can’t afford the trouble!"
"Hahahahaha." His words made everyone burst out laughing.
After separating from those women, Liu Zixuan strode towards Sister Lian’s house, not saying a word to Liu Ruyan along the way!
Liu Ruyan became a little anxious, thinking that Liu Zixuan must have been mad about what just happened, and quickly chased after him, grabbing his arm, saying, "I just..."
"Just what?" Liu Zixuan turned his head and asked.
"I was just joking."
"It’s not funny at all."
"I didn’t expect Aunt Cui Hua to actually resort to threatening her life." Liu Ruyan shrugged her shoulders.
"Isn’t that a common trick you women use? Cry, make a scene, threaten to hang yourselves!"
"I am not like that!"
"Then what would you generally do? For example, if one day someone boldly hugged you and kissed you!" Liu Zixuan slyly asked.
"I..." Liu Ruyan hesitated, "That depends on who it is. If it’s someone I like, naturally there’s nothing I need to do!"
"Alright then."
Liu Zixuan stepped forward and kissed Liu Ruyan.
Ah, spit!
Just as this thought surfaced in Liu Ruyan’s mind, she suddenly cursed herself, how could she have such a thought? He’s just a jerk, just a hooligan. I won’t like him!
Liu Zixuan, with arms folded, looked at the graceful figure in front of him, a smile curling on his lips as he murmured, "You little troublesome seductress."
After speaking, he also headed toward Sister Lian’s house.
In the evening, after everyone finished dinner, they were chatting in the yard, while Doudou was pestering Liu Zixuan to go see some little rabbits.
Although Doudou was already eighteen or nineteen years old, she still had the innocence of a seven or eight-year-old child. Perhaps because she’s a girl, she particularly liked those fluffy little things.
"Come with me to the town tomorrow, I need to buy some things." Liu Ruyan put down her teacup and looked at Liu Zixuan.
"No problem." Liu Zixuan readily agreed.
"Ruyan, Zixuan." Sister Lian leaned forward, smiling, "I have something to discuss with you two."
"Go ahead, Sister Lian, why are you being so polite today?" Liu Ruyan replied with a smile.
"After observing for the past couple of days, although you two like to bicker and tease each other, in terms of your looks, your compatibility as a couple, your qualifications and backgrounds, and your complementary personalities, you really are a perfect match."
"You both aren’t young anymore, and it’s the marrying age in the village. How about I play matchmaker and pair you up?"
Hearing Sister Lian’s words, Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan were stunned. They initially thought Sister Lian would talk about something else and really didn’t expect her to want to set them up.
Liu Ruyan and Liu Zixuan glanced at each other, then Liu Ruyan said, "I match with him!"
"Don’t decline just yet."
Sister Lian laughed, "Look, both of you come from outside and have seen the world. If you can end up together, then it would prove the saying right: ’Men and women pair up, work’s not tiring.’ With you two in this village, big changes are sure to come!"
"Don’t reject it just yet, have a think. Sister Lian has a good eye for people. I can tell, Ruyan, you like Zixuan, and Zixuan likes you too!"
"I don’t like him!"
"If not, why are you blushing? If not, why did you have me bring a blanket to his room last night, and why did you keep secretly glancing at Zixuan during dinner?"
Sister Lian’s consecutive questions left Liu Ruyan unable to answer for a moment.
Could this be... liking?
