* A story from the same series as "Marrying Up [Rekindled Romance]"
* CP: Xie Yan x Mo Xiaohua
[Dear readers, please add this to your collection!]
Xie Yan thinks his friend is already ridiculous enough. She's clearly his childhood bride, yet insists she's her guardian, playing at being family.
Who would have thought his own grandfather would turn up with a little girl in tow and cheerfully announce that she'd been chosen to be his future wife?
Xie Yan, who had spent his life hunting geese, had finally been pecked in the eye by one. He falls silent on the spot: ...???
Looking at the tiny, skinny girl who barely reaches his chest, he feels his handsome face twist with anger.
This isn't finding him a wife, it's making him raise a daughter!
He swears he'll never be another damn "guardian sucker." No matter what, he won't agree to this marriage!
If it weren't his grandfather causing trouble, he'd report him to the organization! To the central authorities!
Mo Xiaohua plants her hands on her hips, studies him seriously, and says solemnly, "I'll marry you when I grow up, so don't rush."
Xie Yan coldly rejects her on the spot. "Don't bother waiting. Stop dreaming. I'm not here to support some poor girl. Marry someone else when you're older."
Mo Xiaohua calmly says, "Oh. I just came to let you know. You can wait."
Xie Yan is stunned: ??? Why can't she understand plain English?
Before he can argue any further, Mo Xiaohua turns and runs to the old man, leaving him behind in a rage.
Xie Yan's face darkens at once. He watches the old man and the little girl, grinding his back teeth: Fine, if I can't afford to provoke them, I'll just stay out of their way!
Years later, Xie Yan looks sternly at Mo Xiaohua. "You've been grown up for ages. What do you mean, you'll marry me?"
Mo Xiaohua, busy making money, doesn't even look up. "Ah, thanks for stopping by. Come again next time... Don't get in the way. We'll talk next time."
Xie Yan's face darkens again. "Next time, next time. It's been one year after another! When am I finally going to get a wife?!"
Theme: Don't panic. I'm here to join this family.
