Chapter 248: Episode 148: Use of Strength_2

"People here are really funny, stripping on purpose and then shamelessly clinging to a man after he glances twice, insisting he marries her. Isn’t that embarrassing?"

"What do you mean ’people here’..." Meng Yuhuai raised an eyebrow, but before he could finish speaking, Hua Xiaomai had pounced on him and bitten his lip hard without warning.

It was indeed a "bite," lacking any grace and executed too quickly. She bit so hard that their teeth clacked painfully against his lips, yet he was still stunned by her sudden move. He tried to step back, only to find a tree blocking his way, making it impossible to move an inch.

Having landed her attack, Hua Xiaomai jumped back two steps and pointed at him righteously, muttering softly, "Just by taking a few glances, you dare pressure her to marry you, so now that you’ve kissed me, doesn’t that make it even more imperative that you marry me? If you refuse, should I go to your courtyard and create a huge fuss—tell me, will you marry me or not?"

Meng Yuhuai hadn’t recovered yet, subconsciously touching his lips.

This girl, really getting bolder! Before, she’d only taken verbal advantages, but now she dared to make a move... no, use her mouth!

But...

He smiled slightly, "Why blame me, it was clearly you..."

"It was clearly you!" Hua Xiaomai wouldn’t let him finish, immediately retorting fiercely, "I don’t care about that. Now that you’ve kissed me, I can’t marry anyone else but stick with you. Are you going to marry me or not?" she said, moving closer again, relentless, pressing the question right into his face.

Meng Yuhuai was completely helpless, sighed, and responded earnestly, "If I don’t marry you, then whom? We had already agreed. You said you wanted to focus on your restaurant business and grow those chili seeds till next year. How can you blame me?"

"I’ve changed my mind, is that not allowed?" Hua Xiaomai glared at him, pouting, "I’ve realized, you’re just a piece of fat meat; anyone passing by wants a bite. And there are those stalking around, waiting for their chance. If I keep delaying, by the end, there might not even be a scrap left for me!... So tell me, are you marrying me or not?"

Being persistently questioned about marriage by the girl he fancied was indeed enough to stir feelings, especially since they were alone in the woods with moonlight filtering through the leaves onto Hua Xiaomai’s feigned tough face. Meng Yuhuai could hardly hold back, stretching his arms to pull her into his embrace and leaned down to kiss her lips.

Hua Xiaomai hadn’t even reacted when she was enclosed in his strong, broad embrace, followed swiftly by his burning hot kiss.

His large hand firmly cradled the back of her head, lips grinding against hers, the urgency in his breathing clearly audible, his familiar scent filling her nostrils. Hua Xiaomai was dizzied by the kiss, her body instinctively trying to struggle free.

"Don’t move." Meng Yuhuai’s deep voice sounded in her ear, his arms tightening around her. For some reason, Hua Xiaomai suddenly calmed down, her struggling slowed, and her arms slowly wrapped around his lean waist.

After all, she was going to marry him, what’s the big deal about a kiss.

But the kiss lasted too long; she initially managed to cope, but gradually felt breathless. Unable to stand it or free herself, she became both frantic and angry, finally pinching his back hard.

Meng Yuhuai finally let her go, emitting a low laugh from his throat.

Hua Xiaomai’s face turned bright red, yet not wanting to lose face, she gritted her teeth, "I can hardly breathe, you really have no sense of measure..."

"I’ll look for a matchmaker tomorrow to propose at your house. After all, you’re my future wife, how could I not kiss you?" Meng Yuhuai was usually a man of few words, but suddenly became eloquent, seeing her adorable blushing face, he even pinched her cheek playfully.

This time, Hua Xiaomai didn’t know what to say, mumbling unclearly, and blurted out, "I’m going home, it’s getting late and my elder sister will worry," before turning to run.

Meng Yuhuai didn’t stop her, instead laughing behind her, "Oh, right, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Today’s incident, you really didn’t need to worry so much. My mother can’t stand being taken advantage of. If someone tries to force their way, she won’t swallow that insult. She’ll handle it herself without me needing to intervene. That guy surnamed Guan and his family won’t be able to get a word in."

"What did you say?" Hua Xiaomai suddenly turned back, "But... then what was the point of my coming here today!"

She was on the verge of tears. Was she really as foolish as her elder aunt had said?

Meng Yuhuai couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter, catching up to her in a few steps, he lowered his head and smiled, "Don’t regret it now, and definitely no backing out. Since we’ve settled this, you can’t go back on your word. When I send the matchmaker over tomorrow, don’t you dare chase them away. Got it? Let’s go. By now your restaurant is probably closed. I’ll walk you home and might as well notify your sister and brother-in-law in advance."

"Don’t tell them what I did. If you do, I can’t face people!" Hua Xiaomai grabbed his sleeve, her face a picture of misery.

"...Let’s go." Meng Yuhuai finally couldn’t contain his laughter, bursting out in guffaws, he pulled her along toward the west side of the village. (To be continued.
