章節 373: 373 is here to repay a favour

Before the last three characters were even out, Lin Qingmu hurriedly yelped with a lack of finesse.

"No, no, no!" His hands waved so fast they blurred, "Dear mother, please no."

As he spoke, he showered Li Xiuli with flattery.

"My mom's the most open-minded, she's nothing like the aunties and dames in the village. She wouldn't disregard her own kid's wishes, would she?"

His eyes twinkled as he looked at Li Xiuli, waiting for her to respond.

He was genuinely scared that one day he'd suddenly be saddled with a fiancée.

Li Xiuli was charmed to bits but kept her face stern.

"Stop trying to butter me up; I'm not buying your sweet talk."

She pricked him with a word, but eventually, she gave him a straight answer.

"Rest assured, if you're unwilling, we won't arrange any random betrothal for you. It's your life, you have to be satisfied with your bride..."

Tangtang had told her so many stories of unhappy marriages, how could she mess up now?
