Chapter 783: I Will Marry You
Chapter 783: Chapter 783: I Will Marry You
Tang Min, despite still being a virgin, knew quite a lot. Xu Zhenzhen’s demeanor gave off the impression of someone who had been through many men.
"Xu Zhenzhen?" Tang Min took a step back, not wanting to talk to Xu Zhenzhen.
She also knew lots about Xu Zhenzhen—rumors had it that her private life was a chaotic mess, and she had ambiguous relationships with quite a few men.
"Tang Min, what a coincidence meeting you here, happy new year," Xu Zhenzhen extended her hand with a beaming smile.
Tang Min couldn’t refuse and simply shook her hand and said "Happy New Year," then she planned on heading home.
It was very cold outside. After her initial petulance subsided, she just wanted to go home and sleep well.
"It’s been a long time. I used to be classmates with your sister Tang Yue. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen each other for years. Nowadays Tang Yue is doing better and better, and she no longer acknowledges a classmate like me," Xu Zhenzhen said with self-deprecating tone, making others feel uncomfortable.
Especially when bringing up Tang Yue, Tang Min would recall Tang Yue’s goddess-like appearance. Always believing she wasn’t less attractive, needing only a few beautiful clothes, Tang Min couldn’t help but admit that the gap was indeed huge when compared to Tang Yue.
"Xiao Min, Xiao Yue is not willing to see me either. Can you help me and let me meet her?" Xu Zhenzhen’s tone was very sincere.
"What do you want to see her for?" Tang Min asked back.
"I just want to catch up with her," Xu Zhenzhen said with a lifted smile. "But Xiao Yue doesn’t want to see me, can you help me?"
"Xiao Min, I know you are kind-hearted. You will help me, right?" Xu Zhenzhen looked at Tang Min full of anticipation.
With such a hopeful expression, Tang Min, who was not very expressive, found herself unable to utter words of rejection. It wasn’t until Xu Zhenzhen had left that she realized she had agreed to help Xu Zhenzhen.
"By the way, I know where Lu Ming’s house is." Xu Zhenzhen suddenly mentioned an address, saying, "Lu Ming rented a place by himself, and it just so happens to be next to me."
"You..."
Tang Min wanted to say more, but Xu Zhenzhen had already left.
With her head lowered, she thought about the familiar silhouette she noticed while passing by Lu Ming’s house; thinking about it now, wasn’t that Xu Zhenzhen?
Was that why she came to talk to her today?
With these thoughts, Wang Aihua’s words about making raw rice into cooked rice came to mind.
Lu Ming, she wanted to see him.
Tang Min gritted her teeth and ran in the direction of Lu Ming’s house.
No sooner had Tang Min left than Tang Xian, Tang Jun, and Zhang Qiang returned.
"Tang Xian, do you think Tang Min didn’t come back at all?" With his hands tucked into the warm pockets, Tang Jun stepped out of the house. After looking around, they hadn’t found Tang Min and didn’t know where she might have gone.
Zhang Qiang had been silently searching without speaking.
Tang Xian’s face was flushed, either from anger or the cold.
After searching for more than two hours, braving the night wind for a long time, Tang Xian said, "My mom has remarried, let’s go see if we can find her there."
Neither Tang Jun nor Zhang Qiang objected. The county, neither large nor small, made finding someone not as simple as just wanting to find them.
"Xiao Xian?" Wang Aihua excitedly grabbed Tang Xian’s hand and said, "Xiao Xian, mom hasn’t seen you for so long, did you specifically come to wish me a happy new year?"
"Wait a moment, I’ve prepared a red envelope for you. I’ll go get it for you," Wang Aihua said enthusiastically, gripping Tang Xian tightly. Compared to her daughter, her son was what Wang Aihua valued the most.
"No need, I came to ask, have you seen Xiao Min?" Tang Xian’s expression was indifferent, cold. Regarding his own mother, the only thing Tang Xian could think of was the scene of her being caught by villagers with another man.
Tang Xian would never forget what his birth mother did, and he had no desire to acknowledge her as his mother.
"Xiao Min?" Wang Aihua’s expression flickered, she asked, "Why are you looking for Xiao Min here? Isn’t she always with her dad?"
"Just say if she has been here or not." Tang Xian said impatiently.
Wang Aihua lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes, before saying: "She hasn’t come."
Tang Xian turned around and left.
No matter how Wang Aihua tried to retain him, Tang Xian did not stop.
Returning to the Tang Family, everyone saw Tang Xian and the other two returning, Zhang Hualian quickly made three cups of hot tea. Everyone gave them space to warm themselves by the fire.
"Dad, Xiao Min hasn’t come home, we’ve searched everywhere we could." Tang Xian said with his head down, looking like he was admitting a fault.
"Ah, it’s not your fault." Tang Zhengyuan sighed and asked, "That Lu Ming, do you know where he lives?"
Tang Xian looked up in shock and asked, "Dad, she couldn’t be so foolish as to go find Lu Ming."
"She’s got her heart set on calling off the engagement," Tang Zhengyuan said, getting a headache just thinking about it.
Tang Xian quickly stood up and said, "Dad, I will definitely find her."
He didn’t know where Lu Ming’s house was, but someone in the county surely did.
Tang Mingli also felt it was inappropriate, so he had people discreetly inquire about where Lu Ming lived, and soon they found out.
Tang Zhengyuan went with the two of them.
The others did not go.
Lu Ming’s house.
"Xiao Min, why have you come?" After his initial shock, Lu Ming pulled Tang Min inside and said, "Xiao Min, it’s so cold outside, come in and warm up."
"Xiao Min, if you needed to see me for something, you could have sent a message. Why run out in the middle of the night? It’s dangerous."
Lu Ming’s caring words gave Tang Min tremendous courage.
"Lu Ming, are you willing to marry me?" Tang Min asked directly, looking up at him with burning eyes.
"I certainly am," Lu Ming excitedly said. "In my life, I, Lu Ming, will only love Tang Min. I swear," Lu Ming raised his hand and vowed, "in this life, I only want to marry Tang Min, I only want to be with you. I will treat you well my whole life. If I break this oath, may I be killed by a car as soon as I step outside, struck dead by lightning, or..."
Before he could finish, Tang Min tiptoed and kissed Lu Ming on the lips.
After a moment of shock, Lu Ming swiftly became proactive. The young man and woman, both full of vigor, shared fiery passion even in the cold winter.
The bed creaked.
’Knock knock knock’
The door was knocked loudly, especially frightening in the dark night.
"Lu Ming." Tang Mingguang was bare, his body shrinking into his embrace, somewhat afraid.
"Don’t be afraid, I will marry you." Lu Ming said resolutely. He got up, dressed properly, and then went to open the door, saying, "Who is it, knocking on the door this late at night? What do you want?"
Lu Ming opened the door to see two males, one older and one younger; it was hard to make them out in the night. Lu Ming defensively asked, "Who are you?"
