My Mysterious Doctor and Blessed Little Wife Is Such a Tease

1040 I’ll Listen to You

Amidst the playful jeers of the crowd, Blood Stealer couldn’t help but be flooded with images of his times with Fu Fang. Her gentleness, her quietness, her elegance, and her occasional adorable bossiness – all these thoughts swirled in his mind, especially that recent kiss…

His heart raced, perhaps due to the flattering lights or the emotive music. When Blood Stealer gazed at Fu Fang, there was an added sparkle in his eyes.

Fu Lan, though not quite understanding the intricacies of romance, proved to be an excellent wingwoman. She nudged Blood Stealer towards Fu Fang and whispered with a mischievous grin, “Sis, I’ve brought him to you. If you’ve got something to say, better say it now.”

Fufang was speechless.

How can my sister be so annoying? Can’t she see I’m too embarrassed to even look up? Her adding to the drama is one thing, but this is just awkward. What if Blood Stealer isn’t interested in me? How am I supposed to face the world after this?’

As Fu Fang’s mind raced with these thoughts, Blood Stealer scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Fu Fang, you just kissed me. Don’t I deserve some sort of explanation?”

Blood Stealer thought to himself that Fu Fang must like him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to kiss him. As for him, he didn’t dislike her and felt a growing fondness. He figured he was old enough and it was time to settle down. If Fufang was willing, he’d treat her right.

“Not like this, you dummy! Who asks a girl such a question so bluntly?” interjected Xia Tangxin, unable to watch any longer. She put down her drink and advised in a ‘been-there-done-that’ tone, “Shouldn’t you be more assertive? Like, ‘Fufang, I, Blood Stealer, have fallen for you. Be my girlfriend. You’ll be the boss at home. I’ll follow your every command, handle all the housework, and even bring home the bacon. The only time I won’t listen to you is when we are on the bed…'”

Her words were met with cheers and agreement from the crowd.

“Say yes. At least there’s one thing you get to decide on your own…”

“That’s right. Fu Fang is perfect for you. If you pass this up, we’re going after her… Right, guys?”

“Absolutely. Fu Fang’s a gem, although her taste in men might be questionable. Blood Stealer, stop dilly-dallying and just go for it!”

Maybe it was the pressure from his friends, or perhaps a sudden burst of courage, but Blood Stealer blurted out, “Fu Fang, I know you like me. And… well, I’ve just fallen for you too. How about we make it official? When we return to Luoping, I’ll visit your family to formally propose, then we can get our marriage certificate and start planning for a couple of kids.”

The crowd tried to hold back their laughter at Blood Stealer’s unexpectedly romantic outburst. They were more interested in Fu Fang’s response.

Fu Fang was thrilled inside, but being a traditional girl, she blushed deeply and barely managed a soft “Yes.”

“Sis, why so shy? Speak up; we didn’t catch that!” teased Fu Lan, pretending not to hear.

Fu Fang shot her little sister a glare, mentally planning to teach her a lesson later. Then, gathering her courage, she looked at Blood Stealer and said more clearly, “I’d love to be with you.”

Hearing Fufang’s response, Blood Stealer finally relaxed, and the crowd erupted into joyous laughter and chatter. Even the lone wolf, looking on enviously, felt a sense of warmth.

He glanced at Dong Xiaoxuan with tender eyes, downed his glass of red wine, and stood up, telling Han Shi, “I need some fresh air.”
