"What’s more, after getting married, I will be the one who is responsible for earning money and feeding the family. So, what does this have to do with her family’s situation? Even if her family is poor, I can support her," Huang Tingyun added.
Listening to her grandson’s eloquent speech, Grandma Huang was speechless. As the eldest grandson, how could he put his wife above his family? The money he earned should be handed over to his grandma to manage even after he married a wife, because they are all registered in the same household register.
Seeing that the situation was tense, Xiao Mei pulled Huang Tingyun’s sleeve and whispered, "Tingyun, don’t quarrel with your family because of me."
Hearing her words, Huang Tingyun frowned and asked, "Xiao Mei, do you want me to follow my family’s arrangements and marry another woman? Are you really willing?"
Looking at her boyfriend’s stern face, she lowered her head and stammered, "I… I didn’t mean that." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"What do you mean then?" he asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Seeing his girlfriend standing there without saying a word, Huang Tingyun felt as if he had been punched hard in his stomach. He took a deep breath to calm down, looked at his girlfriend, and asked, "Xiao Mei, have you ever thought about our future? Have you ever loved me?"
This time, after hearing his words, Xiao Mei raised her head in shock. She pulled his sleeve in panic and said, "Tingyun, you know my feelings for you."
Huang Tingyun shook his head and said, "I really don’t know. Xiao Mei, you have never told me, how can I know how you feel? I am not a fortune teller, nor am I a mind reader. I will never know unless you tell me."
Xiao Mei felt that if she didn’t explain to her boyfriend now, she might lose him forever. She clenched her hand and said, "Tingyun, you misunderstood me. I love you, but with my family conditions, how can I deserve you? There are many better women who like you. I..."
Before she finished speaking, Huang Tingyun interrupted her, "As long as you love me and are willing to spend the rest of your life with me, that’s enough. I don’t care about your family’s situation at all."
Xiao Mei looked down, saw her old clothes and said, "But I..."
"Xiao Mei, I love you for your personality, not for your appearance. Even if you become an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles, I will still love you. As for your family background, like I said before, I can support you and your family. So, I will only ask you one question. Are you going to push me away or are you going to marry me?" Huang Tingyun asked.
Hearing his words, Xiao Mei shook her head and said nervously, "I never wanted to push you away. Tingyun, I… I want to become your wife."
While both of them were engrossed in their heartfelt conversation, Grandma Huang was so angry that she almost fainted.
