Chapter 426: Thunder without rain?
It seems that she has to find a way to deal with A-niang before Xie Nanyuan proposes marriage, so that A-niang can be mentally prepared and not be scared.
Let A Niang... agree to her marriage with Xie Nanyuan.
Otherwise, this guy might really come to your house to ask the reason.
After all, he has always been shameless.
After all these things, Xie Nanyuan is no longer the tough, polite and cold-faced prince in Shen Qionghua's heart. The extent of his change can be described as disillusioning.
Shen Qionghua bit her lip, forcing a very forced smile. She glanced at Xie Nanyuan with a guilty look and said, "It's probably not a good idea to ask directly... So when do you want to come and propose marriage?"
"Three months later?" Shen Qionghua asked tentatively.
If it were three months, she would have enough time to make full preparations to explain to A Niang.
It can be done step by step, not so abruptly, and can take care of everyone's face...well...mainly her face.
Xie Nanyuan sneered in response to her.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
Three months is a bit long.
"What about two and a half months?" Shen Qionghua took a step back.
Two and a half months is fine, it’s neither too rushed nor too slow.
Xie Nanyuan snorted coldly.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
What's wrong!
He's spoiled!
Shen Qionghua was about to explode, but when she met his deep eyes, she suddenly remembered that she was the one in the wrong, and her anger was immediately suppressed.
"Those two months?" Shen Qionghua asked.
Xie Nanyuan didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Qionghua silently, silently expressing his attitude.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
She raised a finger angrily and said, "One and a half months, no less."
Any less and the time is too short.
No matter what, it was impossible for her to fall in love with someone in such a short time and even want to marry him.
That must have been a feeling before.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Even if A Niang was naive, if that was the case, she should have guessed that what she said before about cooperation and friendship was nothing but insincere words.
She still wants to have some face.
So, it can’t be any less.
This time, even if Xie Nanyuan silently rejected it, Shen Qionghua did not back down.
Seeing Shen Qionghua's determined and unmoved eyes, Xie Nanyuan knew that she had made up her mind.
But... he didn't accept this result.
Xie Nanyuan's palm wrapped around Shen Qionghua's slender waist in an extremely domineering and natural way. His deep eyes met Shen Qionghua's and he said softly, "Three days."
"What?" Shen Qionghua didn't react for a moment.
"I will come to propose marriage in three days." Xie Nanyuan said.
"What!" Shen Qionghua exclaimed. She didn't even care about Xie Nanyuan touching her again or holding her waist.
How can three days be enough!
What girl could fall in love with someone within three days and then decide to get married?
If she really did this, my mother would either think she was lying to her or that she had gone crazy.
"No! Absolutely not!" Shen Qionghua refused firmly.
Unfortunately, Xie Nanyuan refused to budge on this matter. He said firmly, "Just three days. As for the month and a half you mentioned, I can see if there are any suitable days for the wedding during those days. We have to pick an auspicious day."
Xie Nanyuan was talking to himself and didn't notice Shen Qionghua's eyes suddenly widened. She looked at him as if he were a madman.
Nowadays, any girl in the capital city would spend three to five months preparing for her wedding. There were also families who were reluctant to let their daughters get married, so it was common for them to keep their daughters at home for another one or two years even after they were engaged.
But when it came to her, she proposed in three days and got married after a month and a half?
If my mother knew about this, she would probably faint on the spot.
Even she couldn't accept getting married so early.
Although she liked Xie Nanyuan, she couldn't bear to leave her mother and Ayi, and wanted to stay at home for a while longer.
No way! This thing absolutely cannot be done! She must stop this madman Xie Nanyuan and cannot let him continue to go crazy!
"No, absolutely not! How can you rush a wedding like this? It should take at least a year or two. How can you have a good wedding banquet if you rush it like this?"
"Marriage is a major event in a person's life. I don't want to rush through it." Shen Qionghua said hurriedly.
Seeing Shen Qionghua's panic, Xie Nanyuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"What are you thinking? Marriage is a lifelong event. How could I let our wedding go by in vain?"
Seeing Shen Qionghua's puzzled expression, he waved his hand and said, "I've already thought about it. If we get married, the palace will definitely send people to help with the arrangements. We'll need more manpower then. That way, even if time is tight, it will be enough."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a grand wedding."
Seeing that he was talking so convincingly, Shen Qionghua: "..."
Oops!
How could she forget that this man was a prince?
According to the rules, the palace must send someone to help.
And the thing that the palace has the most of is manpower.
Considering how much the emperor values Xie Nanyuan, it wouldn't be difficult to ask for more people in order to get the wedding done quickly.
Getting married within a month and a half might seem difficult to others, but for Xie Nanyuan, it was the simplest thing.
Thinking of this, Shen Qionghua became even more panicked.
This, this, this... It's definitely not going to work within this one and a half months!
If one excuse doesn't work, find another one.
Shen Qionghua grabbed Xie Nanyuan's sleeve and said, "It's still not going to work. You proposed in three days and are getting married in a month and a half. What do you think my mother will think? My mother will definitely not accept me getting married so soon."
"Even if I was forced to marry you by the imperial decree in the end, I'm afraid my impression of you would have plummeted to the bottom. This would be very bad for your future."
After moving out of A Niang, Xie Nanyuan would have to think about it.
Shen Qionghua said secretly in her heart, looking at Xie Nanyuan with expectation in her eyes.
Sure enough, after Xie Nanyuan seemed to think about it for a while, he nodded in agreement and said, "Well, you have some truth in what you said. I can't let my mother-in-law have any opinions about me."
How shameless! He's calling his mother-in-law before he even gets married.
Shen Qionghua muttered secretly in her heart, but a big smile appeared on her face. "Yes, yes, I only have this one mother. She is very important to me. I can't let my mother have any opinions about you."
"Well, okay, we'll discuss the wedding date later." Xie Nanyuan frowned, seeming quite reluctant.
Shen Qionghua's shoulders relaxed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
At least this person still has some rationality left and is not beyond help.
She was about to say something when she heard Xie Nanyuan say, "The wedding date can be discussed later, but the proposal must be made within three days."
Shen Qionghua: "..." The smile that had just appeared on her face froze.
How could this person be so unreasonable!
"My mother..."
"Mother-in-law won't accept you getting married so soon, but it's still okay to propose marriage. I'm going to propose marriage anyway, so a few days earlier or later won't make much difference."
Xie Nanyuan spoke directly to stop Shen Qionghua from speaking.
Shen Qionghua's borrowing... oh no, it was a kind reminder that was stuck in her throat.
Her eyes were wide open, and her face was stained with a few traces of red. She was angry.
Where is Xie Nanyuan, the one who just opened his true heart to her, gently asked her to write her name on the imperial edict, and said he would not force her?
How could he disappear in just a moment?
Who is this person in his skin in front of me?
You're just destroying the bridge, right?
ah? ! !
She grabbed Xie Nanyuan's arm and used one hand to pull at his collar, saying, "Give me the imperial edict, give it to me! I'll cross out my name on it. I won't marry, I won't marry!"
Xie Nanyuan tightened his grip around Shen Qionghua's waist, clamping one hand on her hand that was trying to pull off her collar, and holding her in his arms.
Shen Qionghua was so angry that she complained loudly: "You liar, you said you would be good to me in the future, but now you turn your back on me. I was wrong about you, wuwuwuwuwu~~~"
She actually lowered her head and started crying.
Hearing the crying, Xie Nanyuan felt panicked.
He knew Shen Qionghua's temper very well, and she rarely cried.
If he really made me cry, then he would have committed a great sin.
"You...you, don't cry..." Xie Nanyuan was a little flustered. He felt that his heart was aching when he heard Shen Qionghua crying.
Shen Qionghua wanted to pull her hand back, but Xie Nanyuan held her hand very tightly in a panic. She couldn't struggle free and could only continue to howl.
Xie Nanyuan subconsciously held Shen Qionghua's hand tightly, but released his hand on her waist, and touched her lowered face, wanting to wipe her tears.
As soon as he touched it, he realized something was wrong.
Ok?
Just thunder but no rain?
Xie Nanyuan regained some of his rationality. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Qionghua, who was crying sadly, as if he was confirming something.
After a long moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in an anxious arc, and he spoke slowly with a hint of danger hidden in his eyes...
