章節 9: I Can Let You Punch Me Later

After a phone call with his grandfather, Lin Xiao Feng walked towards the bride and groom's waiting room again where An Nuan should be talking to her parents.

As soon as she approached, Lin Xiao Feng saw his mother, Song Luan standing in front of the door. Her posture showed that she was waiting for someone.

The sound of his footsteps made Song Luan turn around. A hint of relief appeared on her face as soon as she saw her son.

Song Luan walked over and met Lin Xiao Feng halfway.

"Mom." Lin Xiao Feng looked at his mother in puzzlement, wondering why his mother looked anxious. "Why are you here?"

"Xiao Feng." Song Luan held her son's hands. "What is it about you marrying An Nuan?"

It was then that Lin Xiao Feng realized that his mother was in the room when An Nuan announced that she planned to change the groom.

"Mom, it is exactly as what An Nuan said. An Nuan is looking for a replacement groom and I had volunteered to marry her."

Song Luan stared at her son for a long time as if trying to find out whether her son was serious.

But then again, Song Luan realized that her son was not someone who would joke around, especially about something as serious as this.

"Mom, I don't mind being a replacement," Lin Xiao Feng said. "I still wanted to marry An Nuan."

Song Luan's expression turned complicated. She studied her son's face until a thought came to her mind. "You like her?"

Lin Xiao Feng nodded. "I like her."

Song Luan wanted to ask why he had never said a word about this previously. But then, she remembered Lin Xiao Feng's grandfather.

It took her a brief seconds to compose herself. "Xiao Feng, this is too sudden. Your grandfather..."

"You don't have to worry. I have talked to him."

"And he agreed?"

Lin Xiao Feng flashed a weak smile to his mother. "He allowed it."

Song Luan immediately understood the meaning behind that smile. The old man might have allowed Lin Xiao Feng to marry An Nuan. However, Lin Xiao Feng will have to pay a price. It seemed that her son would have to suffer after this.

"Then, I will help you to talk to your grandfather," Song Luan said. "If it doesn't work, I will talk to your grand-uncle."

"Mom, it's alright," Lin Xiao Feng spoke with an assuring voice. "I can handle this." A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he watched his mother's worried face. "If you want to help me, you can try to talk to Dad and convince An Nuan's family."

"Alright." Song Luan nodded. "I will help you. Xiao Feng, you go and do what you want to do. Be at ease. Mom will always be by your side."

Lin Xiao Feng heaved a breath of relief. He knew that there would be a lot of people who think he was crazy for what he was about to do. But everything did not matter as long as he had the support of his family and friends, everything else did not matter.

Song Luan left to find her husband after exchanging a few words with her son.

Then, taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao Feng pushed the door and entered the waiting room.

As soon as he stepped in, Lin Xiao Feng could hear An Nuan's voice as she tried to argue with her parents.

Lin Xiao Feng swept his gaze around the place and saw that Pei Zhi Yi's family and friends had vacated the room. He did not know how An Nuan convinced them to leave. But it does not matter now.

Lin Xiao Feng walked over to An Nuan.

The first person who noticed Lin Xiao Feng's presence was An Nuan's elder brother, An Jian.

An Jian's face turned uglier as soon as he laid his eyes on Lin Xiao Feng. While his younger sister was arguing with their parents, An Jian walked over to Lin Xiao Feng's side and swung his fist.

"Ahh!" Someone shouted in the background, shifting their attention from An Nuan and her parents to the fight between An Jian and Lin Xiao Feng.

When the others turned around, all they could see was An Jian's angry face while his fist was restricted by Lin Xiao Feng.

"I'm sorry." Lin Xiao Feng bowed his head slightly. "I still need to use my face today. Therefore, I can't let you punch me in the face. Elder Brother, I can let you punch me later."

An Jian's eyes turned wider upon hearing the way Lin Xiao Feng had addressed him. "Lin Xiao Feng!" An Jian shouted angrily as he tried to pull his hand away. He staggered backward and pointed a finger at the tall man in front of him. "I asked you to talk some sense into An Nuan. But what did you do? You want her to marry you? Have you lost your mind?"

Lin Xiao Feng's expression remained calm as he faced the angry An Jian.

This made An Jian angrier. Without giving it too much thought, An Jian swung another punch towards Lin Xiao Feng.

However, this time a lot of people were watching them.

Before An Jian got to hit Lin Xiao Feng's face, someone pulled him back and restrained him.

"Let me go!" An Jian struggled to get away. "I don't care what happened today. I have to hit this bastard once. Lin Xiao Feng, you dare to have a thought about my younger sister?"

Lin Xiao Feng glanced at An Jian. Then, he raised his head to look at An Nuan.

His expression grew softer when he saw the worried look on An Nuan's face.

"You..." An Nuan whispered as Lin Xiao Feng walked closer.

"I'm fine. I told you that I will help you settle this." Lin Xiao Feng flashed a smile. Then, he looked up again and straightened his posture as he faced An Nuan's parents.

Lin Xiao Feng's heart was beating fast.

"Uncle, Auntie..." Lin Xiao Feng greeted the An couple politely. "I am here to discuss An Nuan's wedding. I hope that you can listen to me first."

The An couple exchanged a glance, wondering what Lin Xiao Feng was going to tell them.
