Rong Shaoze took a few more steps forward, approaching her.
He looked down at her from a superior height and said calmly, "Since picking any time to get married makes no difference, why not do it today? Xinlan, only after we get married will we truly be husband and wife. Let’s go, right now."
He took her hand, urging her to stand up.
Lin Xinlan felt somewhat puzzled, "Rong Shaoze, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing’s wrong with me."
"Then why must we get married today?" She always felt something was off about him, as if he had something on his mind.
The man’s dark eyes looked into hers as he countered, "Then why don’t you want to marry me today?"
"I didn’t say we can’t get married today, it’s just..."
"If it’s possible, then let’s go."
"Wait a moment." Lin Xinlan held him back, looking seriously at his face, she frowned and asked, "Rong Shaoze, has something happened?"
The man smiled faintly, his expression very gentle, "Nothing has happened."
"No, you’re hiding something from me. What exactly has happened? Can you tell me?"
The man’s lips were slightly pursed as he pondered, "I’ve just been wanting to marry you for a long time, that’s all."
The longing in his eyes wasn’t fake.
Lin Xinlan’s heart ached, as if pricked by a needle.
She smiled weakly and said, "I also want to marry you, but going today is too rushed. I’ve heard that we need to choose an auspicious day for the wedding, otherwise it’s unlucky."
"Alright, I’ll make a call and ask which day is auspicious." After saying that, he really made a call to inquire with the relevant people. Lin Xinlan prayed that the best day would be three months from now.
After hanging up, Rong Shaoze laughed and said, "What a coincidence, today is an auspicious day. The master says that if we don’t get married today, the next time we choose a date, it might be a long time from now. Now you should be ready to marry me, right? You have to believe what the master says; he is the most authoritative fortune teller. His predictions are usually true."
After hearing this, Lin Xinlan felt not a trace of happiness but rather discomfort.
Is today the only auspicious day? Will there be no more in the future...
What does this imply? It implies that they are not suitable for marriage any other time...
Why are they not suitable? The reason is simple, because she is no longer worthy to marry him, and also because she is going to die.
"Xinlan, can we please get married now?" Rong Shaoze asked gently, his gaze eagerly fixed on her.
Lin Xinlan was startled and abruptly pulled away from his hand, saying discontentedly,
"You believe in superstition too? If today is the only auspicious day, then from tomorrow on, people all over the world should stop getting married. Rong Shaoze, I don’t want to get married today, it feels too rushed, please don’t force me! Let’s wait for another time, I’m not feeling well today, I don’t want to do this."
The man’s expression suddenly turned very ugly, and his dark eyes, as if frosted over, became extremely cold.
He looked at her and asked with a cold laugh, "Then when do you suggest we go?"
Lin Xinlan knew he was angry, and her heart also felt uncomfortable, but she truly couldn’t promise to marry him.
"Can we talk about it later? We live together every day, there’s no rush for this moment." At least she had to wait until Tao Hua had developed the antidote before she dared to make a commitment to him.
Otherwise, she really couldn’t...
Rong Shaoze looked at her coldly and after a long silence, his voice starkly cold, he asked, "Lin Xinlan, tell me the truth, do you not want to marry me?"
