Chapter 119: Chapter 100 Marry Me, You Must!

The second watch had arrived.

-------------

Oh hey, is the truth about to come out?

Oh hey, has Laosan really come to his senses?

Oh hey, it seems right to personally take charge and use oneself as bait?

...

Feeling the spotlight-like gazes all directed at her, Chuxia’s face turned red, and she awkwardly shrank her neck, "Chief... Chief, I... I didn’t think that way."

"If you didn’t think that way, then how did you think?"

Was this meant to drive her to death? She hadn’t thought anything through, right? She didn’t know what his personality was like, how could she speculate this and that?

Moreover, if his current actions were considered being nice to her, haha..., probably eighty percent of the people in the world could claim they were nice to others?

That was her thought, but she didn’t dare to speak the truth, just hung her head in silence.

"What you’ve always feared is being sent back home, right?"

Fortunately, Zhou Mikang changed the topic, and Chuxia quickly nodded, "Yes."

"What’s your purpose in joining the military?"

"To make life better for my parents, so our family won’t be bullied anymore," Chuxia told him directly.

"Did your parents arrange your marriage to Luo Hongqi with the same purpose?"

He knew all about it? Chuxia was startled and quickly nodded, "Yes!"

"Do you agree with your parents’ idea that marrying someone who can protect you is the best option, right?"

What a joke! It was originally just a temporary solution, wasn’t it? Chuxia quickly shook her head, "I don’t agree!"

"If you don’t agree, then why did you agree to be engaged to Luo Hongqi?"

"It’s temporary!"

"Can this matter be temporary?"

"Why can’t it be?" Chuxia’s temper flared up as she looked straight at him, "You are the chief, but that doesn’t mean you can question my personal affairs without reason!"

"Alright, then now, you, marry me!"

"What?" Chuxia’s mind was blown, what did he say? No, there must be a mistake with her ears, she must have hallucinated, or else, she heard it wrong! Or maybe, his family’s pressure had confused him? Was he talking nonsense?

Thinking thus, she lifted her eyes, quietly observing his — it’s possible to tell from the eyes if someone’s mind isn’t clear.

His eyes were dark and shiny, but they looked so cold, seemingly devoid of human emotion, inexplicably, Chuxia shivered, feeling uncomfortable with such eyes staring at her!

"Do you agree or not? Speak!"

"Mikang!"

"Brother!"

"Chief!"

"Xiaomi!"

At this point, the crowd naturally couldn’t just remain bystanders, they didn’t speak to dissuade him, but their calls represented everyone’s stance.

Marriage is not child’s play, they were anxious, but they hadn’t intended for him to resolve it this way.

Moreover, how innocent is the young lady?

"What do you all mean? Isn’t this the outcome you wanted?" Zhou Mikang stared coldly at everyone, "Jumping up and down, isn’t this the outcome you wanted? Now, I’m considering her opinion, letting her marry me, why are you all jumping out to oppose it?"

"Mikang, Mom was wrong, I won’t press you like this anymore," Lin Yanqiu hurriedly stated.

Zhou Yueping quickly agreed, "Your aunt won’t meddle anymore, and won’t push your uncle."

Xu Zhenghong continued his wife’s words, "I definitely won’t spread rumors anymore."

"I didn’t intend to press you in such a hurry either, it’s just that your mom and your aunt were anxious, and I couldn’t be bothered to argue with them," said Grandma Zhou, with a face full of ease, completely absolving herself.

"I also didn’t think your marriage needed to be rushed to this extent, but seeing your mom and them busy, I just thought, getting a great-grandson sooner would also be good," of course, this was Grandpa Zhou, truly a couple with Grandma Zhou.

"Third Brother, I won’t ask about this matter anymore," Zhou Xiangping said meekly.

"Third brother, I won’t ask either," said his sister Zhou Jiping.

"Xiaomi, marriage is not child’s play, elders are anxious, but we didn’t intend for you to rush this way," Zhou Xikang embraced his wife, "Look at me and your sister-in-law, this kind of affection, is what can really make you happier."

"Chief... Chief, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been so gossipy to speak out, I... I was just anxiously worrying for you, blindly worrying..." Zhou Hanliang probably didn’t even know what he was saying himself.

"Xiaomi, when I cut Lin Chuxia’s hair, I just thought it was too thick and trimming it would make it look more lively. I really didn’t mean anything else." Seeing that almost everyone had expressed their opinions, Liang Xiaohong also hurriedly spoke up.

"Xiaomi, I’m sorry, I’ve always been wrong. If you’re angry, just ignore me." Father Zhou, Zhou Jingping, said with a face full of guilt.

Listening to everyone’s persuasion, Chuxia quietly sighed in relief. Thankfully, this family was clear-headed; she had been scared to death just now! Had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess. After all, he hadn’t really planned to open up to her. It was all Zeng Meili’s fault for misleading her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so frightened.

Thinking this way, Chuxia stared disapprovingly at Zeng Meili.

Zeng Meili, who had been hiding behind Zhou Hanliang without making a sound, also looked at Chuxia just then. Their gazes collided accidentally, and Zeng Meili quickly flashed a forced smile and lowered her head.

"Zeng Meili, it’s your turn to express your position."

Zeng Meili, singled out by Zhou Mikang, could only weakly say, "Third Brother, I’m not qualified to have a stance. Originally, I was just following orders."

Scanning the room, Zhou Mikang coldly said, "So, are you all saying now that you disagree with me marrying Lin Chuxia?"

Hold on! When did she say she wanted to marry him? Chuxia raised her hand, then weakly put it down. Forget it, she had no rights here when nobody asked her opinion. It was safer to play mute.

"Don’t rush." Although Zhou Mikang didn’t direct his words at Chuxia, she felt it was meant for her. Chuxia’s face turned red with anger; this arrogant man! When had she ever been in a hurry?

She just wanted to make her position clear.

"It’s not..." Lin Yanqiu nervously stared at her son, unsure of what he was driving at. This guy was definitely the son she had carried for nine months, but why was she so afraid of him?

"Enough!" Zhou Jingping stood up, "Stop acting like the whole family owes you something. Marriage is a major matter, and if your family didn’t care about you, they wouldn’t bother so much.

Besides, if you were willing to share your thoughts and spend time with girls, everyone wouldn’t need to guess so blindly. You’re not young anymore, I believe you understand all this.

The person least at fault here is Xiao Lin; she was just dragged into this mess by us. The most wrong was me for not minding my own business.

Actually, I had no other intentions; I just felt that since you wouldn’t forgive me and wouldn’t communicate with the family, I hoped that one more person would care about you.

At the same time, I was worried that the other person might not be good-hearted enough to truly care about you, so I decided to oversee this without a solid plan.

Of course, whether or not she passes my standards is not important; the most important thing is whether you like her. Actually, when I saw Xiao Lin, I felt I was wrong.

She’s still so young; how could she possibly be with you? Ah, we were really confused to have caused such a hassle. Anyway, this whole thing is my fault. Don’t act like you’re interrogating a criminal with the whole family.

I’m expressing on behalf of the whole family that in the future, regarding marriage, we won’t pressure you or jump to conclusions; but you also need to take the initiative to find someone else.

Starting a family and a career, as a man, only when you have a family will you have more responsibility and security to venture in your career. All I’ve said are my personal experiences. Xiaomi, whether you forgive me or not, please think over my words; they will be beneficial to you."

"Can you really stop interfering?" Zhou Mikang stared emotionlessly at everyone, his tone making it clear he hardly believed them.

"We won’t interfere, really won’t."

"Yes, I will certainly listen to Big Brother; I won’t interfere again."

"Grandma never intended to interfere."

"Grandpa didn’t either."

"We have even less right to interfere."

"...."

One by one, the family members expressed their intentions eagerly.

Snorting coldly, Zhou Mikang turned to Chuxia, "About my earlier question, answer me, will you marry me, yes or no?"

"Ah?" Chuxia stared at him blankly, completely at a loss.

Didn’t everyone say they would stop interfering? Why was he still asking her whether she wanted to marry him?

She understood now; he was worried she would be embarrassed, so he deliberately asked this to give her a way to save face!

Considering this, the man wasn’t so bad after all. Alright, she would forgive his earlier rudeness. Chuxia smiled and waved her hand: "No, I won’t marry."

"What?" Zhou Mikang frowned, "You’re so happy about saying no?"

Chuxia quickly made a bitter face: "I won’t marry."

"You don’t need to look so tragically just because you said no."

This guy really had too many issues!

Chuxia tried hard to find a middle ground, smiling yet not smiling, worried yet not overly so: "I won’t marry."

"Can’t you change it up a bit? Aren’t you tired of that?"

How was she supposed to live? Ridiculous!

"Commander, you’ve made your point, and I appreciate your kindness. Actually, you didn’t need to give me this face, especially as everyone just expressed that they didn’t believe you would marry me.

So, giving me this face seems rather fake. Since it’s fake, why bother whether my expression is correct or not? Commander, can you please spare me? I’m not an actor!"

"Who said I was giving you face?" Zhou Mikang glared at her, "Listen carefully to what I’m saying now, Lin Chuxia, you must marry me!"

Chuxia stared at his expression for a moment, realizing he wasn’t joking, and she immediately stamped her foot: "Why should I?"
