Chapter 220 Still a child
"Okay, no need to rush, I know you didn't mean it that way, I was just teasing you!"
“He is my third brother. We grew up together. If he really minds, then you don’t need to marry him.”
Lin Cai told the round-faced girl the reason. After listening, the girl's dazed expression made people want to touch her.
She gently rubbed the little girl's round face and then said, "Marriage is a lifelong commitment. You can't settle for anyone, understand?"
The little round-faced girl nodded blankly, indicating that she understood.
In the main room, Lin Bao had been pacing back and forth ever since he arrived, his movements so fast they hurt people's eyes.
Scarface looked at him and said, "Lin Laosan, can't you just shut up for a bit?"
"Do you have a nail in your butt or a corn on your foot? Can't you just stop and sit down for a while?"
"Sit down? Do you think I can even find a seat right now? Who do you think I am, someone who'd be unwanted even if offered a seat to them!"
Scarface: "..." Damn it, I told you to shut up for a bit, and you resorted to personal attacks. Looks like you didn't get enough of the fight before and want to fight again.
"I offered myself up and nobody wanted me, but you think you can just offer yourself up and nobody wants you?"
If someone wanted her, why would that girl have screamed like that?
"Young master, I have both looks and appearance. Can you compare to me?"
"Someone like me, how could I possibly be unwanted if I offered myself up?"
Scarface scoffed and put his hand on the stove to warm it. The fourth sister, who was on the other side, heard the conversation between the two men but didn't dare to say a word.
Whenever Scarface glanced in their direction, the four girls wished they could hide themselves.
Even Hua Niang felt the same way. She didn't like Scarface very much, and was even a little afraid of him. He looked so fierce and evil that not many people in the garden would be willing to take him in.
Lin Bao waited for a while and finally the person returned. He quickly pulled Lin Cai to the stove.
"How's my little sister? What's wrong? Should we... you know...?"
Lin Cai sat down and placed her hands above the stove, feeling the warmth emanating from below. She immediately felt cozy.
"What do you mean, do you want to...? Third Brother, what do you want to ask?"
"Didn't I just barge in? Wasn't she just changing clothes? I... I did all that... you know what, is she just going to let it go like that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai turned to look at Lin Bao. Just now, Xiao Lingdang said that her third brother hadn't seen anything.
But now the person involved says they saw it too, so who is telling the truth?
"Third Brother, this matter is up to you to decide. What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, 'what am I supposed to do'? Do you think I have the final say on this kind of thing?"
"If it's not up to you, then who should have the final say?"
After Lin Cai finished speaking, six pairs of eyes were all on Lin Bao. Lin Bao didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said and blurted it out.
"Of course it's up to her. She suffered a loss, so whatever she says goes. Otherwise, do you think there are any other solutions?"
What if she asked you to marry her?
It was Hong Lin who asked this question, and as soon as he finished speaking, all six pairs of eyes turned to look at Lin Bao.
"Huh? Marry her?" Lin Bao scratched his hair, and he honestly confessed, "I haven't thought about that. I just feel like I can do whatever she wants."
Hearing this, everyone understood. What he meant was that whatever Little Round Face said, he would do, even if it meant marrying her.
After Lin Bao finished speaking, he saw his younger sister nod. Then he asked, "So what is she thinking? What does she want to do? Did she tell you anything?"
Hearing these three questions in a row, Lin Cai felt a little uneasy!
Just now in the house, Xiaolingdang said she liked Lin Bao and wanted to marry him.
Now that they're outside, her third brother looks anxious, but it doesn't seem like he's in any real trouble.
So they're mutually in love, all that's missing is someone to break the ice!
"She didn't say anything, just that you didn't see anything, but instead she hit you with something and she wanted to apologize to you."
"What do you mean I didn't see anything? I clearly saw..."
Lin Bao stopped the car in time, but he was still unhappy. Didn't he know whether he saw himself or not?
Why did she tell her sister that she didn't see anything?
Doesn't she want him to take responsibility?
A young woman was seen by a man, and she didn't want him to take responsibility...
Just as Lin Bao was thinking of this, he heard, "Third Brother, Little Bell said you didn't see anything, so let's leave it at that."
"Besides, if word gets out and the person Xiaolingdang likes finds out, wouldn't that ruin their chances of getting together?!"
Lin Bao's mind was buzzing, filled with nothing but the phrase "the person Little Bell likes".
He wanted to know who the woman liked, and what that person's name was, and then he blurted it out.
Upon hearing his question, the owners of the six pairs of eyes all looked at him strangely.
"Who someone likes is none of your business, or what their name is."
The speaker was Scarface, and after he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes.
Lin Bao glared at him: "His future wife is living in my house now, so can't I just find out what's going on and attend their wedding banquet?"
A wedding ceremony?
What kind of wedding ceremony is this? If he knew who that person was, he would never have given them the chance to have a wedding ceremony.
Because he would get rid of that other man before then, so that they could never be together for the rest of their lives.
Lin Bao thought viciously to himself, but Lin Cai shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know who that person is."
"Didn't you ask?"
"Why should I ask? That's their private matter. What would I do if I asked?"
Lin Cai looked at Lin Bao with a strange expression, and the other five pairs of eyes also looked at Lin Bao with the same strange expression.
"Third Brother, something's strange, I feel like you..."
"What's strange about it? I was just concerned about that little girl."
“Look, that little girl is even younger than you, just a child. I was worried that she might be deceived, so I asked her a few more questions.”
"...Third Brother, Little Bell is almost fifteen, and she's reached the age where she can get married."
In modern times, fifteen years old is just a child, but here, fifteen-year-olds can get married.
"She's not even fifteen yet, she's not even as old as you. You're my little sister, so how can she not be considered a child?"
Upon hearing this, the people gathered around the stove to warm themselves were at a loss for words!
