Chapter 342: Chapter 342 - Getting Married? No Way!

The next day was the first day of the new year.

When Luo Xiaoxi woke up, her back was aching and her bones were as tired as if they had been disassembled and reassembled. She did not even want to move a finger.

She found a comfortable position and went to sleep with her head buried, but there was a strange feeling in her hands.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Su Yicheng put her hand in the palm of his hand and stroked her fingers from time to time.

Boring!

Luo Xiaoxi decisively pulled Su Yicheng’s hand over to use as a pillow, closed her eyes, and when she was going to sleep, she suddenly heard Su Yicheng ask her, “Why did you cut your hair?”

After a long silence, Luo Xiaoxi reluctantly said, “On the first day when I left, I began to miss you as soon as the plane landed. It was so annoying. Later, I had my hair cut and wanted to change my hairstyle and mood.”

However, facts had proved that it was useless to change one’s hairstyle. What one should think was beyond control.

Su Yicheng stroked Luo Xiaoxi’s short hair.

In fact, her hair cut short was also very good-looking, making her facial features more delicate, and the contour was decorated very clearly with the color of the hair, which made her look more decisive.

When being sexy and capable were perfectly combined and displayed on a beautiful woman, it would draw much attention. Su Yicheng knew very well how much attention Luo Xiaoxi would attract once she left her home.

Su Yicheng suddenly had a feeling that Luo Xiaoxi was a wild horse. Although he had the reins, she could run away at any time if she wanted to—just like she recently left for three months.

Su Yicheng unconsciously hugged Luo Xiaoxi and called her name: “Xiaoxi.”

After a long time, Luo Xiaoxi just lazily answered, “Hmm?”

“Let’s get married.”

The tone of Su Yicheng’s voice was normal, and she could not feel any ups and downs in his mood. However, if she listened carefully, she could recognize that he said every word clearly.

As if every word and sentence were the voice from the deepest part of his heart.

Luo Xiaoxi opened her eyes and her whole being froze in Su Yicheng’s arms.

Having chased Su Yicheng for 10 years, she had fantasized about Su Yicheng saying this sentence to her countless times, and hundreds of different courtship scenarios had occurred in her mind.

But there was absolutely no scene like this—in the bedroom bed, without a decent ring!

Luo Xiaoxi became angry and the consequences were very serious.

She turned to face Su Yicheng. “Do you think I’m easy to talk to when I come to you and forgive you?”

Su Yicheng was not sure whether Luo Xiaoxi was angry or not and he denied it. “No.”

Luo Xiaoxi sat up around the quilt and felt the urge to strangle Su Yicheng. “Then why did you propose to marry me so casually? Will you at least prepare it and show more sincerity?”

Didn’t she deserve a painstaking proposal that would cause a sensation in City A?

This time, Su Yicheng confirmed that Luo Xiaoxi was not angry, but very angry.

He took Luo Xiaoxi back into his arms. “Do you remember the question you asked me yesterday?”

Luo Xiaoxi thought for a moment, and she seemed to ask Su Yicheng if she was cheap for being so active? Su Yicheng did not answer her.

Well, was Su Yicheng going to tell her the answer now?

In Luo Xiaoxi’s expectant eyes, Su Yicheng said slowly, “I want to marry you. Is this answer satisfactory?”

If he did the same thing to other girls, Su Yicheng knew very well that he would not be forgiven so easily. If she did not torture him almost to death, he would still be a liar.

But Luo Xiaoxi was so frank and she would pursue him if she liked, and she would leave for some time if she needed time to calm down. She would come back to tell him the answer if she figured everything out, so she almost never thought in a complicated way.

He used to associate with smart and capable working women, but he didn’t want to spend too much effort to explain everything. He was too tired. He hoped that both of them could get together easily.

Yesterday, Luo Xiaoxi came to him on her own initiative. Only then did he understand why he fell in love with Luo Xiaoxi—because beneath her enchanting and flamboyant appearance was wrapped a very simple and transparent heart. She didn’t calculate anything nor plan anything.

So only being with Luo Xiaoxi could make him relax his tight nerves and fall asleep safely.

However, these were not the reasons why he wanted to marry Luo Xiaoxi. Even if Luo Xiaoxi’s IQ and EQ both dropped off after marriage, he would probably not be bored if she tried to make trouble with him.

Because... he was afraid that she would leave again.

If this was not love, then Su Yicheng did not know how to understand the word “love”.

Luo Xiaoxi thought about it with her simple mind for a while to understand the meaning of Su Yicheng, then nodded, “Very satisfied.”

“Then...”

Su Yicheng was interrupted only after saying one word. “Were you proposing?” Luo Xiaoxi asked.

“... Kinda.” Su Yicheng considered it for a moment before answering.

“Oh, I don’t agree,” Luo Xiaoxi said lightly. “It’s too shabby!”

Su Yicheng: “...”

For the first time in 30 years, he proposed to marry a woman, but he was looked down upon with shabbiness as the reason. What else could he say?

It seemed that he could only comfort himself by thinking that it was good that Luo Xiaoxi did not refuse completely.

Luo Xiaoxi looked up at Su Yicheng. She sighed and touched his face. “Do you want to cry?”

Su Yicheng grit his teeth, pressed against Luo Xiaoxi’s lips, and twirled his tongue, as if he was going to suck the air from her lungs.

Before Luo Xiaoxi felt that she was going to suffocate, Su Yicheng relaxed his hold on her. She suddenly remembered something. “What time is it?”

Su Yicheng smiled. “It’s past 11 o’clock.”

“Sh*t!” Luo Xiaoxi almost bounced off the bed. “Why is it so late?” She had just woken up not long ago, how could it already be after 11 o’clock!

Su Yicheng half-smiled. “We only went to sleep at four in the morning. Isn’t it normal to sleep until this time?”

Luo Xiaoxi did not know whether she should be shy or angry, so she kicked Su Yicheng and slipped into the bathroom.

After washing, Luo Xiaoxi hurriedly said that she would go back. Su Yicheng originally wanted to send her, but he received a call from Tang Yulan.

“Yicheng, are you home? I want to come see you.”

“I am at home,” Su Yicheng said. “Shall I pick you up?”

“No, Old Qian will take me there.” Tang Yulan smiled. “I’ll be there in about an hour.”

Luo Xiaoxi had already recognized the voice, so she put on her high heels, saying, “You don’t have to take me. Auntie Tang will definitely ask about Jianan, you tell her that she went shopping with me early in the morning.”

Su Yicheng still sent Luo Xiaoxi downstairs, and not long after he went upstairs, Tang Yulan arrived.

Tang Yulan brought a lot of things, including the fruits and snacks that Su Jianan liked. When she sat down, she swept the whole room and asked, “Where did Jianan go? Why didn’t I see her?”

“She went out to go shopping with Xiaoxi in the morning.” Su Yicheng told the previously prepared lie calmly. “Auntie, if you want to see her, I will call her to come back in advance.”

“You don’t have to.” Tang Yulan waved her hand. “I just wanted to see how she was during this time. Is she good?”

“Just like before the wedding, she goes out once in a while and stays at home to watch things most of the time. I’ll let her see you in a couple of days.” After a pause, Su Yicheng asked, “How about Boyan?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Yulan said with a wry smile, “The whole company has been on annual leave. He is still working as a boss. He went home to eat dinner with me yesterday, stayed at home for one night, and left today.”

“Auntie, you should not worry about the matter of Boyan and Jianan,” Su Yicheng said. “Their situation is different from others, only they can solve it themselves.”

Tang Yulan also understood that, so she nodded and she talked about something casual with Su Yicheng before getting up and leaving.

Su Yicheng looked at the time and found that it was still early. He called the hospital and asked Su Jianan about the situation. Since there was nothing wrong there, he took the tea and some gifts that Xiao Chen had prepared and drove to the Luo family’s house.

At this time, Luo Xiaoxi had returned home.

She was ready to be scolded. Unexpectedly, Lao Luo and her mother did not intend to scold her.

Out of curiosity, she took the initiative to look for the blame. “Lao Luo, Mother, aren’t you angry with me? I stayed out all night!”

Lao Luo spread out his hand. “We should get used to it in advance; anyway, you will always marry in the future.”

Ms. Luo smiled meaningfully. “Besides, you said that you were going to accompany Jianan. Why should we be angry about it?”

Luo Xiaoxi was not used to Lao Luo and her mother becoming so open, as she sat down on the sofa. “Don’t! How did Su Yicheng brainwash you? Do you really agree with me getting together with him?”

“Qin Wei is already getting married, and you like Su Yicheng so much. I happen to find that Su Yicheng is a good person. Why should we stop you?” Lao Luo smiled and changed his tea. “Moreover, would it be different if we continue to oppose you?”

Luo Xiaoxi did not think about it and said, “No!”

“See?” Lao Luo dumped the tea-washing water and sighed. “My daughter hasn’t married yet, and she’s already with someone. But since someone wants her, I will agree, so that I don’t keep you at home to piss me off all the time.”

When Luo Xiaoxi was feeling helpless, the auntie who was helping around the house was coming toward them. “Mr. Luo, Mrs. Luo, Mr. Su has come. He looks... quite formal.”

“Ask him to come in.” Mrs. Luo pulled Luo Xiaoxi upstairs and left the space downstairs to Su Yicheng and Lao Luo.

Su Yicheng carried some things in and he was not surprised when he saw Father Luo drinking the tea alone in the living room. He put down the things to explain. “Uncle, I want to talk to you about me and Xiaoxi.”

Lao Luo gestured for Su Yicheng to sit down. “Before you say anything, listen to me first. In the morning yesterday, Xiaoxi was unhappy, saying that the night before she made you angry and she wanted to take the initiative to find you. Her mother stopped her and said that a girl should not act like that. But she said that she didn’t know what it was, she only knew what she wanted. Listening to this, I knew that you are the only one for her in this life.”

Su Yicheng did not speak as he poured a cup of tea for Father Luo and listened to him.

“I will give my only daughter to you.” Lao Luo took Su Yicheng’s tea and patted the back of his hand. “She really likes you, and I hope that you can really treat her well.”

“Uncle, you can rest assured.” Su Yicheng was more serious than when making a commitment to a partner.

“I believe in you, but for the record.” Lao Luo smiled. “In the future, if Xiaoxi tells me that she is being bullied by you, even if I lose the entire Luo Enterprise, I will not let you go.”

“It was not easy for me and Xiaoxi to get to this step. I know how I should treat her in the future,” Su Yicheng said.

Lao Luo nodded comfortably. “Well, she is upstairs. Go and find her.”
