Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Currently, in the courtyard, Ling Tianya was reading a book. Suddenly, the sunlight that was illuminating her body was blocked by a person. Lifting her head, she saw that it was Liu Zhuang, who had been there since who knows when.
The second the beauty lifted her head, Liu Zhuang felt as if he could no longer breathe and could only stand there and stare blankly at Ling Tianya.
Since the moment Ling Tianya had left the living room, Liu Zhuang’s heart flew out with her. Therefore, he’d ditched Old Liu and his wife and snuck out by himself in search of Ling Tianya.
The Ling family’s courtyard wasn’t considerably large, so he was able to quickly spot Ling Tianya nearby, perched on a rattan chair. In her hand was a book and with the sunlight illuminating her body, it seemed as if she herself was glowing.
Originally, Ling Tianya was peacefully reading her book and being suddenly disrupted, especially by the person before her, made her feel extremely annoyed. She furrowed her eyebrows.
Seeing that the beauty was unhappy, Liu Zhuang smirked. “I know that you don’t know who I am. My name is Liu Zhuang. I fancy you and I want you to be my wife.”
Ling Tianya was shocked. She would have never thought that this person would be so direct and say such words.
Seeing the woman’s face darken, Liu Zhuang continued, “I imagine that my uncle is has already brought this up to your parents. With the support of sister Fen, I reckon that it will happen. In the future, you will be my wife. Rest a.s.sured, I will be good to you. However, it would seem that you cannot serve others, which won’t do. Even though the Ling family has many servants, you will still have to at least take care of me. For example, helping me wash my feet and bringing me water. Where I’m from, that is what is expected of women at home…” Liu Zhuang spoke in all seriousness and with great vividity, as if Ling Tianya was already his woman.
Ling Tianya felt that this man’s words were amusing, so she stood up. But the instant she took a step forward, Liu Zhuang lifted his arm to stop her.
“Hey, don’t leave! Let’s chat and get to know each other!”
Seeing that Liu Zhuang was only an arm’s length from her, Ling Tianya dodged and avoided him.
At this moment, Small Guy and Big Guy emerged from the shadows, one on the right, one on the left, like two towering mountains.
Liu Zhuang was stunned and stared, in shock, at the two men who had suddenly appeared, his eyebrows furrowing. “They… Who are they?”
Liu Zhuang sized up the two men before him. In both height or weight, he was incomparable to them. Especially all the muscles. Just the sight of them had Liu Zhuang trembling.
“You want to chat with me?” Ling Tianya snickered, sporting an expression that was entirely different from the timid one she had on before Old Liu.
Liu Zhuang blinked, struggling to believe that the woman before his eyes was indeed the same person from before.
Ling Tianya seated herself again on the ratted chair, with Big Guy and Little Guy on either side of her. The woman raised her eyebrows, carrying a cold, demon-like smile. “Tell me, how did you want to advance our relations.h.i.+p?”
Although Liu Zhuang was a good-for-nothing and slow-witted, even he could tell that things weren’t going as planned.
“You… You woman… how could you privately hide men in your house?” Liu Zhuang took a step back and pointed at Ling Tianya. “I didn’t think that you’d be so shameless. You’re lucky that I took a fancy to you and wanted you for a wife.”
Done speaking, Liu Zhuang turned to leave but it was already too late.
Small Guy took a big step forward and seized Liu Zhuang’s collar, forcing Liu Zhuang to meet his gaze,. “You want to leave now that you are done screaming at Miss Ling? It’s not that easy!”
Liu Zhuang was surprised by Small One. With both feet in the air, he fearfully looked at Small One. “Let me down! Hurry up and let me down!”
