Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1021

Even though he was humiliated by the Liu family and Liu Piao never explained her reason to him, Zhang Ermu hadn’t been able to forget her. Seeing her that day brought all those old feelings back, undiminished by time.

Despite still having feelings for her, his current situation made marrying her impossible. If her parents hadn’t accepted him then, they certainly wouldn’t now.

Thinking about how beautiful she was in her wedding dress when she married another man, Zhang Ermu felt a dull pain in his heart. He lowered his head and ate without tasting anything.

After dinner, Zhang Ermu and Zhang Yulan cleared the table and washed the dishes. Afterward, they returned to their parents’ room for a discussion.

Sitting on the Kang bed, Zhang Ermu looked at his sister and asked, "Xiao Lan, now you can tell us what happened between you and that man. What is his name? When and where did you meet him?"

Hearing her brother’s questions, Zhang Yulan glanced at her parents. Seeing that they were also waiting for her answers, she finally said, "Well, his name is Ding Lei, but people call him Bajie. I met him when I was coming back from town. He saved me from a group of rogues."

The moment Zhang Ermu heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise. He used to sell his prey in the black market, so he knew who Bajie was. Although Bajie was a good person, he was involved with the black market’s middlemen. His job was too risky.

"Did he say that he wants to marry you?" he asked.

Zhang Yulan shook her head. After he saved her that day, he only nodded at her when they crossed paths. But he never spoke to her. Her feelings were one-sided.

Seeing his sister shake her head, Zhang Ermu asked again, "Xiao Lan, what is your relationship with him?"

"I have no relationship with him," Zhang Yulan said honestly.

She looked at her brother and added, "Brother, it’s me who likes him. After he saved me from the rogues, he never took the initiative to talk to me, let alone have a relationship with me."

When Mother Zhang heard her daughter’s words, she asked in surprise, "So, your feelings are one-sided?"

Zhang Yulan nodded but said nothing.

Zhang Ermu rubbed his forehead when he saw this. Suddenly, he felt a headache.

After a long silence, he finally asked, "So, what’s your plan now? Do you plan to keep waiting for him?"

Zhang Yulan knew it was impossible to delay her marriage since she had passed the typical marriage age. But she was also unwilling to marry another man. So, she bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing his sister like this, Zhang Ermu understood how she felt because he, too, was in a similar situation. No, he was still unwilling to marry another woman. Therefore, he couldn’t bring himself to persuade his sister to let go of her feelings or tell her to meet another man.
