Chapter 454

Seeing that she did not respond, Old Mr. Wen was anxious. “Xuelu, I know that Rugui could be a fool some times and is not a sweet talker, but he is a nice and honest kid. I promise that he will be nice to you. I will be the first to beat him to death if he’s not good to you!”

Wen Rugui, “……” You sure are you real grandpa, Grandpa.

Uncle Zong chimed in as well. “Xuelu, I’ve known Rugui since he was a child. This was the first time I have seen him interested in a woman. He even stole the family chickens for you. You can tell from that alone that he is genuine.”

Wen Rugui, “… … … …”

“Puuf –”

Tong Xuelu finally busted out laughing when she thought about poor Xiao Wu.

She thought about it a little and said, “Grandpa Wen, I need to talk to my grandpa first before I can give you a answer.”

She had an idea, but she did not want to share that in front of Old Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong.

She needed to talk to Wen Rugui in private.

Besides, wanting to marry her was no easy feat!

All the Wen’s men looked disappointed after she had said that.

They, however, understood that that was to be expected. As a girl, she must be conservative.

Wen Rugui and the others stayed for dinner at the Tong’s before heading out.

Wen Rugui, not getting an actual answer, returned to the base looking like an eggplant beaten by hail.

When he returned, Zhou Yan was even more concerned about Wen Rugui than their leader. “Rugui, what did your girlfriend said? Did she say ‘yes’?”

Wen Rugui tightened his lips some. “She said she would let me know after she had talked to her grandfather.”

“Don’t be disappointed, bro. Just keep on trying. Men must be thick skinned.”

Zhou Yan patted Wen Rugui on his shoulder to feign compassion. He was secretly happy about it.

Wen Rugui’s proposal flopped. That was heaven being on his side!

He, too, would take time off in a couple of days to go and propose. One way or another, he wanted to be engaged before Wen Rugui!

Wen Rugui grunted and returned to his dormitory dispirited.

Dean Jiao moved an office the next day and Wen Rugui went to help out.

Low and behold, Wen Rugui bumped his back while moving a cabinet and then twisted it.

The injury was quite serious and he couldn’t even stand up straight. He would break out in cold sweat if he so much as try to stand up straight. He had no choice but to rest in bed.

Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan both came to visit him at his dormitory.

Seeing how serious Wen Rugui’s condition was, Huang Qimin said to him, “Rugui, I am very serious here. The back is very important to a man. How are you so careless?”

Both Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan looked perplexed.

Seeing how innocent the two of them looked, Huang Qimin’s face turned beet red for once. “You two are still single and there is only so much that I can share.

“In short, a man’s back is as important as a woman’s stomach. I worry whether you will be able to perform in the future with this back injury!”

Wen Rugui was even more baffled. “Perform what?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You know, the man thing!” Blushing, Huang Qimin carried on, “Don’t you get it? What if you can’t have kids in the future!”

Wen Rugui, “! ! !”

Truth was, he wouldn’t be able to appease his wife with his back injury.

That being said, not being able to appease one’s wife meant he could not do the *ahem*. Meaning that he would not be able to have children.

Technically, he wasn’t wrong.

Huang Qimin scratched his head and his face was red like cooked pig liver.

Frowning, Zhou Yan rebutted him, “Dog Egg Huang, stop making it sound so alarming. Woman give birth to children. What does that have to do us men?”

Huang Qimin looked at him in contempt. “Shut up, Poop Poop Head Zhou. How can women have children without man? Have you seen any girls getting pregnant before they get married?”

Zhou Yan, “……” He seemed to have a point.
