4599 Never Too Late to Love (6)
The man took all that in, in silence, like a sincere listener.
Bai Sheng said sadly, “I know that it was really not easy for her to raise me from the time I was a child, but has she never had any selfish motives towards me? Cousin is not good at studying and she has placed all her hopes on me. I have also promised that no matter what happens in the future, I will support her in her old age till her last breath. However, I have just graduated not long ago and my career is just beginning. How can I have such great achievements the moment I graduate? My aunt has probably finally lost her patience and is in a hurry to marry me off. That alone is bad enough, but she actually made such excessive conditions!”
She was wondering why her blind dates were getting older, and their att.i.tudes were getting worse! If it weren’t for today, she really wouldn’t have known that she had been so ruthlessly schemed against by her aunt!
The man suddenly asked, “What’s your view towards marriage then?”
!!
“I…” Bai Sheng gently caressed the handle of the coffee cup and said, “Actually, I have never had any fantasies about marriage. Haha, my future husband does not need to be too rich, nor does he need to have elite status. Even if we have to rent a house, as long as he gives me a home and does not make me a drifter…”
The man was puzzled. “But didn’t your aunt require your future husband to buy her a house?”
“I won’t compromise on this!”
Bai Sheng said somewhat grudgingly, “On account of the fact that she raised me for so long, I will not hold it against her. However, I will definitely not make my marriage a transaction!”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly. His jade-like face suddenly revealed a touch of probing. “Then… what do you think of me?”
Bai Sheng looked up in confusion.
The man stared into her eyes seriously and said deliberately and clearly, “Are you… willing to marry me?”
Bai Sheng opened her eyes slightly and held her breath…
…
Creak…
The rusty iron door was pushed open and Bai Sheng’s weak voice could be heard.
“I’m home.”
She returned home, making her way through the crowded subway station during the evening rush hour. She was exhausted.
Ye Yuqin walked out of the kitchen wearing an ap.r.o.n. She rubbed her hands on the ap.r.o.n with an expectant expression. “How was the blind date?”
Bai Sheng did not answer and instead bore a neutral expression, “Auntie, where is the household register kept?”
“The household register?” Upon hearing that Bai Sheng wanted the household register, Ye Yuqin did not hide her surprise at all!
Did this mean the blind date was successful? Otherwise, why would she be asking for the household register? Asking for the household register meant that they were going to register their marriage!
Although, this progress was something that she had never expected. Initially, she had been extremely nervous that Bai Sheng would anger her blind date partner into leaving in a huff again. Otherwise, she would have been dilly-dallying, showing no real interest, yet she would not outrightly reject the person, leaving matters dangling.
The woman was so surprised that she felt like she was in a dream. “That’s great! That’s great! So the date is a success?!” Ye Yuqin’s expression was full of greed.
Bai Sheng nodded lightly and silently .
“Sure, sure, give me a moment! I’ll get it for you!”
The woman quickly rummaged through her belongings and took out the household register. She carefully handed it to Bai Sheng and asked, “Are you going to register your marriage now?”
“The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed now.” Bai Sheng said, “We’ll register our marriage tomorrow!”
“Aiya, this is all too sudden!”
“Isn’t that what you want? I’ll get married early so that you won’t have to bear the burden.”
