Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1234  Appeal

Xiang Weimin pursed his lips a little when he heard that. He couldn’t do anything about that complaint. After all, even he knew that everyone in their family was a difficult person to talk to. It was in their nature. And being polite was their second nature that had been cultivated since they were young.

Even the most casual and wild people of the family also known as Mu Chenyan and Xiang Wai were very polite.

“By the way, you all don’t just look difficult. You all are very difficult too!” added Tang Hebe.

“I’m sorry about that,” said Xiang Weimin.

Seeing him like that Tang Hebe deflated and tsked to herself.

“Actually,” started Xiang Weimin. “Someone in my family said that there is a perfect and simple solution for our complicated situation.”

“What is it?” she asked curiously.

“That we should get married,” answered Xiang Weimin calmly.

He was calm but Tang Hebe’s brain already exploded just hearing that. What the hell?!

“No one would agree with that, right?” she asked.

“No. Most of them actually do think it’s a good idea.”

“What about Raelle?” asked Tang Hebe looking flustered for a moment. “She definitely would say no.” 𝑜𝓋𝒍xt.𝗰𝚘𝓂

“She didn’t disagree,” he told her honestly.

“No way!” Tang Hebe almost couldn’t believe it when she heard it. And she even forgot how to react.

“Don’t you think you focus too much on Raelle?” asked Xiang Weimin. “Why does her agreement or disagreement matter more to you?”

Tang Hebe felt a bit uncomfortable when she was asked that question. “Because I really didn’t think she would agree with this idea. No matter what, I’m still considered her husband’s ex-wife. And she is willing to let me be her sister-in-law? It’s mind-boggling to me.”

“I also thought the same,” he said.

“What about you?” Tang Hebe looked at him. “What is your opinion?”

“I don’t agree,” he replied. “Or I wouldn’t be here discussing other ways to get along with you. Didn’t I say earlier, I’m somewhat like Raelle? Even though, I don’t think love is necessary for marriage. It still doesn’t mean I’d like to build a relationship with someone on the basis of compromise from day one. Life already asks for compromises from us. Wouldn’t we be too harsh on ourselves if marriage was also based on it? And I do agree that by this marriage I can give my son a complete family but the question is; will it be worth it in the end? Once he grew up, he’ll start understanding the nature of our marriage and if he learned why we got married, wouldn’t he be very uncomfortable?”

Tang Hebe silently listened to him and didn’t interrupt at all.

“Yes, there is a guarantee that by the time he grew up, our marriage would still be just a compromise. You’re a good person. You might even become an amazing life partner. However, none of that would change the fact that we got married for just Justin.”

“You’re very sober,” said Tang Hebe. “And you’re right. I also don’t agree. In fact, our ideas don’t even match. You said love isn’t necessary. But I’m not like that. I might be a person who broke my own heart and has been through a lot. But I’m also a person who really doesn’t learn from mistakes because I still believe in love. Ironic, isn’t it?”

Xiang Weimin shook his head, “Doesn’t sound ironic. I think it’s brave of you to be willing to fall in love again even after getting hurt by it once.”

“Technically, I hurt myself. Love did nothing to hurt me,” commented Tang Hebe. “Yes, there is really no guarantee that we won’t fall in love later in our married life. But the point is, you are not even my type. You’re the last person I’d want to marry.”

“Woah! I’m that unlikable?” he asked.

“No,” she replied. “That’s not what I meant. You have great conditions to offer. Just the family behind you is enough to make anyone want to marry you. On top of that, you’re handsome, upright, an Air Force officer, a high ranking one too with real abilities. You’re reasonable, sensible, don’t seem to have any superiority complex at all. All of that only makes you seem like a golden boy. Your market value is very high.”

“Am I a commodity or a stock?” asked Xiang Weimin. “Market value? Really?”

“That’s what they say,” she replied. “In the marriage market, I meant. What market are you talking about? And yes, in the marriage market, you’re actually like a hot commodity or a high-rising stock that everyone would want to take a bite of.”

“It sounds scary.”

Tang Hebe nodded her head, “Oh, the marriage market is not only cruel but also scary. There is no doubt about that at all.”

“Then if I’m such a hot stock, why am I not appealing to you?”

Tang Hebe sighed heavily as she looked at him from the top of his head to the tip of his toe. Actually, honestly speaking, she couldn’t find one flaw in this man in front of him. The only flaw was really that he wasn’t her type.

“Is it because I can’t speak sweet words?” asked Xiang Weimin. “Because I’ve been told I can act like a boring gourd.”

“Not really. It’s okay not to be romantic. Romance doesn’t fill the stomach. Besides, who can have romance every day? It’s not about that at all. I think it’s good that you don’t speak sweet words. They sound like lies. At least, you speak the truth even if it hurts.”

“And yet, I’m rejected??” he asked again in confusion. He could tell that she really meant what she said. And she was right. His conditions were very good. He knew that since he was very young. Even if his parents were divorced, it won’t change the fact that he was the eldest grandson of the family.

It also won’t change that he was capable and had been able to rise the ranks on his own abilities.
