The 159th chapter torrent (eighteen)
Zhao Xin and Ran Min stared at each other, but didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ran Min was even more stunned and completely at a loss. She had never thought about such a thing before, but she never expected that Zhao Xin would suddenly mention it to herself at such an occasion.[]
To be fair, she still has a good impression of Zhao Xin. Compared with those noble children who only know how to pretend, Zhao Xin felt outstanding among the children of the Zhao family. Not only did she take up the position of Yulin Duwei at a young age, but the entire Zhao State also knew that he was a celebrity in front of his master's father and would have a bright future in the future.
Such an excellent boy, no girl would be able to help but be moved, and Ran Min would naturally be no exception. Moreover, she had some dating with Zhao Xin and knew a little about his temperament and talent. At least so far, compared to other aristocratic families who were in love with her, Zhao Xin seemed to be her best choice.
But this is just a favorable feeling. After all, it is far from being a question of love. Now Zhao Xin suddenly told her that she would marry him soon, how could she not be surprised?
Zhao Xin waited patiently for a long time, and was extremely nervous. However, he saw that Ran Min had no reaction at all, and just stared at the ground in a daze and thought about being in a daze, not knowing what the meaning was.
Zhao Xin gradually couldn't hold back his mind, and it took him a long time to pluck up the courage to speak; "Ran Min, actually... we are actually friends, you see, we have some understanding of each other. Although I have many shortcomings, I am generally a good person. If you think it's possible, it's better... it's better for us to follow the arrangements of our elders."
After stammering, Ran Min still didn't speak. Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel disappointed flashing across his face. He forced himself to smile and said, "I...I know what you mean, and I also know that this matter is a bit abrupt. Since you really don't want to, I will find a way to dissuade my grandfather as much as possible, so that you won't embarrass you."
Zhao Xin looked sad when he said that, and he could hardly say the last words. He felt extremely disappointed, as if he was being grabbed by someone. He smiled hard at Ran Min, turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Ran Min's voice as delicate as a mosquito was heard behind her: "Wait."
Zhao Xin quickly turned around and looked at Ran Min. Ran Min couldn't help but turn red under his bright eyes. He pulled his hair and calmed down, and asked in a low voice, "What I want to ask you is, do you really like me?"
Zhao Xin nodded quickly, but Ran Min looked as if she was expected, and just looked at Zhao Xin and asked lightly, "Then what do you like me?"
Zhao Xin scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I can't say it either. First of all, you look pretty good, and it's mainly very comfortable to be with you. Well... how to say it, I have never liked to be kind to others, but it is an exception to you."
Ran Minxing's eyes were wide open, and although her face was still a little flushed, her expression still returned to normal. He couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "You are such a real person."
Zhao Xin smiled, "This is natural." At this time, he was already very happy and said hurriedly, "Are you not objecting to this?"
Ran Min's cheeks were slightly hot, but she forced herself to say, "To be honest, you are not annoying, but it's not considered a pity to say you like you. If you really want me, please agree to me with a condition. If you can't do it, I will never marry you."
Although Ran Min is a young man, she is still a girl in the boudoir. When she said the last sentence "Marry you", she was already blushed and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Zhao Xin's gaze.
Zhao Xin nodded quickly and said, "What conditions are you going to say, just say it."
Ran Min's eyes lowered and said, "Can you love me alone for the rest of your life?"
Zhao Xin was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Ran Min to ask him this. He thought about it for a while before saying, "I think I might be able. My father only loved my mother in his life, which is also excellent in my opinion."
Ran Min asked, "But if you become a marquis and a prime minister in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of beauties around you. Can you guarantee that you will only love me for the rest of your life?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said calmly, "Who knows what will happen in the future? Now I think it's good to love only one person. I'm really not sure what I will think of later. But I can promise you that if you don't let me down in this life, I will definitely not let you down."
After hearing Zhao Xin's words, Ran Min couldn't help but look disappointed in her eyes and nodded gently, "Thank you for your honesty."
Zhao Xin hesitated for a while before speaking, "Then we..."
Ran Min lowered her head for a while, raised her head and said, "After all, you and I don't know each other deeply. I want to be familiar with it to decide what will last for life. If you are really sincere, give me a year. If I don't change my mind a year later, then we can do it naturally."
Zhao Xin said with a look of distress: "But my grandfather..."
Ran Min had already looked as usual, shook her head and said, "This is my last bottom line. As for the reasons you think about it yourself. I believe that with your intelligence, this small problem will not be difficult for you."
Zhao Xin thought about it before nodding and said, "Okay, then I'll try to think of a solution."
"Um!"
Zhao Xin looked around and said, "It's been so long since I came out. Maybe my grandfather has already gone to propose marriage to your father. Let's go back and take a look earlier."
"Um."
Guo Aner was already a little impatient when she was waiting in the distance. After finally seeing Ran Min walk out, she hurriedly greeted him. She glanced at Zhao Xin's back and said in a bad tone, "Why have you been chatting for so long? That kid isn't you?"
Ran Min shook her head and said absent-mindedly, "Nothing."
Seeing that her expression was abnormal, Guo Kaier became alert and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly."
Ran Minqiang smiled a little, hesitated for a while and said, "And, I might be marrying Zhao Xin."
"What!" Guo Aner opened his eyes wide and looked shocked.
"What the hell is going on? You just talk about your time, why are you going to talk about marriage?"
Ran Min shook her head and said, "It's not us, it's Zhao Xin's grandfather, Li Chong and Li. He plans to propose marriage to my father and betroth me to Zhao Xin. Mr. Li has a very high prestige in the court. I think with my father's temperament, I will never dare to reject him."
Guo Aner stamped his feet and said, "Why is this old man so much trouble? He doesn't care about his old age at home and comes to question other people's marriages. He is really shameless and is not afraid of losing his life."
Ran Min looked around carefully, then lowered her voice and said, "My good ankle, you have a smaller voice, it would be bad if someone else heard it."
Guo Aner widened his eyes and snorted in his nose, "So what can you do? Could it be that an old man who often claims to be 'respected', will he still care about us little girls like us? You don't have to worry about laughing at other people's big teeth when you say it out."
Ran Min had no choice but to say, "It's still not good to say such words, after all, this is someone's birthday,"
Guo Aner looked at Ran Min with some surprise, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and said, "If you talk for him like this, can you agree to that kid?"
Ran Min avoided Guo Aner's gaze with a panic look, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'll ask him to give me a year to consider."
Guo Aner kept saying "tsk tsk" and put his hands on his waist, his eyes full of ridiculous smiles. "I can't tell, this is not your usual style. Who told me that I have to decide for myself in my life? Who told me that women cannot be just a subordinate of men. I would rather marry an ordinary person who only loves me for life than a good fickle man who is upset and abandoned."
Ran Min defended in a low voice: "Zhao Xin just likes talking nonsense, not a lustful person. He was polite when I got along with him several times."
Guo Aner snorted, "I'll help your future husband before you even cross the door. It seems that you really want to marry him."
Ran Min did not reply immediately, pondered for a long time before saying softly; "Actually, no matter how good we say, we still have to get married. Instead of marrying someone we don't know at all, it's better to choose a marriage by yourself."
"Although Zhao Xin is usually not serious, he treats people very seriously. Although I can't say I like him much, I don't hate him after all. Maybe after getting along for a long time, I will gradually fall in love with him."
