Jun Moyan’s mind buzzed, and confusion set in.
Hadn’t the original conversation been about whether her family had arranged a marriage for her? How had it turned into him marrying Xiaoguai?
Marry Xiaoguai? Jun Moyan had never considered this, nor would he have thought about it.
Before this, he had never imagined Xiaoguai marrying someone else.
Because from start to finish, he had only treated her as a pet, raising her like a child.
Marry? This conversation should not have even started.
Jun Moyan looked at Wen Xiao’ai’s fair little face, completely disheveled by the topic, and he needed to end this conversation to clear his head.
"Can we not talk about this now, please?"
"No," Wen Xiao’ai shook her head.
"Listen, you’re still young, you don’t need to worry about these things."
"But that’s not what you just said."
"You can do that?" Wen Xiao’ai expressed doubts about her life.
"No buts, your Clan Leader grandmother loves you so much, she won’t bear to marry you off to someone else."
Wen Xiao’ai frowned slightly, somewhat angry, "Hmph, liar. After all is said and done, you just don’t want to marry me. Do you really want to see me marry someone else, sleep with someone else, have meals with someone else, and with someone else... "
"I won’t allow it!" Jun Moyan blurted out without thinking.
"Then marry me," Wen Xiao’ai grasped his tie.
Jun Moyan felt a headache coming on.
"Say it, are you marrying me or not?"
Jun Moyan was bewildered, wanting to say that he had just been unconsciously led to say "marry" by her. Could he take it back?
But subconsciously, he didn’t want to take it back.
"Say it, when will you marry me?"
"Hurry up and say it, now? Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?" Wen Xiao’ai looked at him expectantly.
Seeing her eager for an answer, Jun Moyan suddenly didn’t want to find excuses to dodge anymore.
After calming his feelings and thinking it over, he responded very clearly and seriously,
"When you understand what ’husband and wife’ means, I will marry you."
Facing her and saying "marry you," Jun Moyan felt his heart skipping two beats.
"I know what husband and wife are, it’s just having meals together, sleeping together with you, and with you..."
"How come it’s not again? You clearly said it was before." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"You’ll understand later."
"Alright then, you keep your word. When I know, you have to marry me."
"I’ll go ask someone else right now."
"You’re not allowed to ask others; you have to understand on your own."
Asking people? Who knows how they might mislead you.
Wen Xiao’ai pouted, "Then when will I understand?"
"One day, you will understand."
"Then it’s settled, you can’t lie to me."
After taking a bath, Wen Xiao’ai sat on the bed, biting a baby bottle and fiddling with her pile of toys.
When she was deeply engrossed in playing, the large chandelier in the room suddenly flickered a few times, and the next moment it went out completely.
The entire room plunged into darkness.
As Wen Xiao’ai was puzzled, she suddenly sensed a dark presence approaching.
Her eyes narrowed instinctively, and raising her hand defensively, a stuffed toy at her feet, as if empowered, flew with lethal force towards the direction of the balcony.
A mass of dark energy materialized into a blade in mid-air, slicing the stuffed animal, and cotton exploded from the body of the toy.
