Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Those Were Drunken Words, They Don’t Count

Inside the room, there was a silence, even without looking up, Xie Ziyao could clearly feel Qin Anhao’s gaze, as if it had substance.

Xie Ziyao wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.

The room was so small, she lifted her head but quickly lowered it, not daring to meet Qin Anhao’s eyes.

"That... drunken words, they don’t count." Xie Ziyao grabbed her messy hair, which was almost tangled, just like the thoughts in her brain, all tangled up.

"No, what you said is absolutely right. Because of me, your reputation has been damaged. Marrying you is my way of taking responsibility for you." Qin Anhao looked at her seriously, his eyes red from not sleeping all night.

He sat in the living room, thinking for the entire night.

The idea of marrying Xie Ziyao was not repulsive.

What Xie Ziyao said was absolutely correct.

Who you marry is still a marriage, isn’t it?

Marrying Xie Ziyao, at least he didn’t dislike or reject her. His grandfather was always concerned because he wasn’t married yet, every time he called, it was to tell him about some nice girl or ask when he would bring a granddaughter-in-law home.

"You..."

Xie Ziyao looked up in shock, finally realizing that Qin Anhao was serious.

"How can it be right? We don’t even have feelings for each other, how can we get married?" Xie Ziyao was about to cry.

"You don’t want to marry Zhou Xu, and I don’t want to marry someone I don’t know. We conveniently come together, live our lives, I think it’s a good idea." Qin Anhao pressed his lips together, seeming to genuinely think this was a great proposal.

Xie Ziyao had a small, aggrieved face as she looked at Qin Anhao’s handsome face, he was very good-looking, but still, good looks couldn’t make a living.

She was just in her early twenties and wanted to find a caring person who knew cold from hot.

"With my status, your family shouldn’t mind, and my grandfather will like you." Qin Anhao thought the more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed.

Xie Ziyao: "..."

"When should I visit your home?" Qin Anhao suddenly asked.

"..." Was this as fast as a rocket?

"I have three more days off, there’s no better time than now, let’s go today." Qin Anhao suddenly stood up and pulled Xie Ziyao along.

Only when they were almost out the door did Xie Ziyao react and said, "No, I haven’t considered it yet."

Even if it was embarrassing, Xie Ziyao didn’t want to just blindly marry herself off.

"What?" Qin Anhao stopped, and Xie Ziyao bumped into him. She instinctively wanted to retreat, but Qin Anhao held her shoulders, leaned forward, lowered his head, his presence continuously enveloping Xie Ziyao’s nostrils.

Xie Ziyao felt the effects of the alcohol from yesterday surely hadn’t worn off yet, her mind was still dizzy, her feet weak, as if stepping on clouds.

"Perhaps, I can’t give you love, but I can give you a home, give you respect, give you freedom, give you the dignity you deserve. If you meet someone you like, we can divorce." Qin Anhao’s voice sounded in her ear.

His words were very tempting.

"Marrying me means you don’t have to worry your parents will arrange for you to marry someone like Zhou Xu you don’t like, nor worry about another Zhang Xu or Li Xu." Qin Anhao spoke each word deliberately, his eyes deep and distant, paired with his voice, made Xie Ziyao somewhat dazed.

Indeed, being a daughter of the Xie Family, while enjoying the Xie Family’s glory, requires giving up something, like her several cousin sisters who didn’t marry the ones they liked.

"I have no bad habits, don’t visit prostitutes or gamble, appear handsome, with an excellent family background. Such an outstanding me, marrying me won’t be a loss for you." Qin Anhao’s narcissistic words made Xie Ziyao chuckle out loud.

Without washing her face or combing her hair, Xie Ziyao didn’t look as refined as usual, but she was more real than ever, her smile genuine and infectious.

"Don’t agree with my words?" Qin Anhao raised an eyebrow.

Xie Ziyao cleared her throat and said, "I agree, but shouldn’t you let me think?"

"If you keep thinking, be careful Zhou Xu will be decided tomorrow." Qin Anhao reminded, "You beat Zhou Xu yesterday, and if he went home to report you, what do you think your parents will do?"

Her parents would certainly force her to apologize, and then, if Zhou Xu truly wanted to marry her?

Her parents might just agree to this marriage.

No way.

Xie Ziyao panicked and pulled Qin Anhao, saying, "Let’s go home today."

So, Xie Ziyao took Qin Anhao home, and upon learning about Qin Anhao’s background, Mr. and Mrs. Xie were very pleased, and immediately discussed the marriage date with Qin Anhao. The smooth progression of events was beyond what Xie Ziyao could imagine.

The next day, Qin Anhao immediately took a few days off and took Xie Ziyao back to Jing City.

Mr. Qin was very pleased upon seeing Xie Ziyao, who was the daughter of a prestigious family and studied medicine.

Upon hearing that Qin Anhao had already met Xie Family’s elders, Mr. Qin was eager to marry them off immediately, so he could look forward to a great-grandchild.

Thus, the marriage between Qin Anhao and Xie Ziyao was settled for May, considering Qin Anhao’s age, both families skipped the engagement process and went straight to marriage.

Qin Anyu, being the sister, was also very surprised about the marriage between Qin Anhao and Xie Ziyao.

Initially, upon learning about Xie Ziyao, Qin Anyu indeed thought maybe Xie Ziyao and her big brother Qin Anhao could end up together, but who knew, two years passed without any news, and when she previously inquired, Xie Ziyao had a boyfriend then.

At that time, Qin Anyu had felt it was a pity, but now, how long has it been?

"Brother, are you really getting married?" Qin Anyu quietly tugged at Qin Anhao, feeling the whole thing was too fast.

"Of course, it’s a real marriage. Is there a fake one?" Qin Anhao cast a glance at her.

Qin Anyu asked, "Brother, are you and Xie Ziyao really getting married out of love?"

"What are you saying?" Qin Anhao raised his hand and flicked her forehead. "Is that how you talk to your brother? Without feelings, how could we get married?"

Friendship is still a feeling, that much was right.

"Really?" Qin Anyu looked at Qin Anhao skeptically, still finding it hard to believe.

Qin Anhao couldn’t be bothered with her, using the excuse of having things to do, he left. All wedding preparations were ready, and it wouldn’t be good if any unforeseen events occurred.

Until the wedding day, Tang Yue saw the bride, Xie Ziyao, for the first time. Her beautiful and radiant face was like a blooming flower. The first time they met, she had thought of becoming a rival in love with her, but who knew, in the blink of an eye, she became Qin Anhao’s bride.

Fate is indeed remarkable.

As the bride, Xie Ziyao, was still dazed, looking at the full hall of guests and the bright red wedding dress she wore, it all felt like a dream.

Even now, she still couldn’t figure out why she agreed to Qin Anhao on that day?
