Chapter 562: Honesty (2)
"I'm not..." Hu Tian was so nervous that he spoke incoherently, and finally lowered his head suddenly.
"Madam, Hu Tian fell in love with Zi Ling at first sight. Please help, Madam Ji."
Ji Xiaomu was stunned. She didn't expect Hu Tian to admit it directly.
"I really like Zi Ling, ma'am, please believe me!" Hu Tian said seriously without stuttering.
"Young Master Hu... Zi Ling is just a little waitress in my teahouse. Will the Hu family agree to let her in?" Aunt Ji frowned.
"Madam, you don't know, but our Hu family has never recognized family background. As long as we like someone, we can marry her home. My mother was met by my father during the war. My mother was displaced because of the war, and it was my father who brought her back and took good care of her. They fell in love and got married. My eldest brother was born on the border." Hu Tian immediately smiled. The Hu family are all soldiers, and they may die one day. Who cares about family background? It's good to have a woman.
"Master Hu probably doesn't know the origin of this teahouse, right?" Aunt Ji sighed and asked.
It seems that some things need to be said in advance. Looking at Hu Tian's attitude, it seems that as long as Zi Ling nods, he will immediately marry her and take her home. If she finds out that he cares about her... then Zi Ling will be so wronged.
"Hu Tian doesn't know, he only knows that it is my wife's property." Hu Tian said truthfully.
"Why are there only more than ten girls in this teahouse? That's because..." Ji Xiaou told Hu Tian about how she was kidnapped and then rescued someone. Hu Tian didn't expect there would be such a story. The more he listened, the gloomier his face became.
"Is Qu An still alive?" Hu Tian asked gritting his teeth.
"Not here." Aunt Ji shook her head. According to City Lord Qu, Qu An had been tortured to death by him.
"It's such a bargain for him!" Hu Tian narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking that Qu An's death was too easy.
If it were him...
"Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Hu Tian.
"I understand what you mean, madam. They are all people who have gone through hardships. As a lady, I, Hu Tian, should know something. Since I like Zi Ling, I will not care about her past. I just want her to belong to me, Hu Tian, every day from now on. I will not care about those meaningless things. Madam, you know that we are all soldiers. Being a soldier means that we may die on the battlefield at any time." Hu Tian looked at Ji Xiaomu with determination in his eyes.
"I'm more worried that Zi Ling won't want to marry me, because I can't guarantee how long I can live." Zi Ling's affairs were nothing to Hu Tian. They were soldiers and had seen everything, so how could they care? Instead, Hu Tian felt that he was not worthy of Zi Ling. He might die on the battlefield one day, and she would be left without anyone to rely on.
"Now that you are here, I believe Fang Chen will not let you be the same as before!" Ji Xiaomu comforted them. Now that they are fighting a defensive battle, they do not need to rush to the enemy, so they should be able to live longer.
"Madam, do you mean to agree with Zi Ling and I?" Hu Tian heard Ji Xiaomu's hidden meaning. Did she agree that he could marry Zi Ling?
"This... It's useless to ask me. I'm not Zi Ling. Everything depends on Zi Ling's choice. Besides, Zi Ling doesn't even know that you like her..." Ji Xiaowu smiled. She didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed. She was not the person involved.
What's the point of asking her consent? Zi Ling must agree to marry him, only then will it count.
"...That's true. It's a little too early now." Hu Tian sighed. He wished he could marry Zi Ling home right now.
