Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Shao Ling deeply regretted his impulsive behavior.
He realized that trying to reason with Shao Yunduan in a calm manner would be futile at this point.
Thoughts of his eldest uncle resurfaced in his mind.
Despite swearing never to trust his uncle again and cutting offmunication with him…
He couldn’t help but see his eldest uncle as hisst resort. Thus, he made the decision to humble himself and seek his assistance once more.
However, when he arrived at his uncle’s home, he learned that his uncle was out tending to the cows and donkeys.
Ever since they acquired the cows and donkeys, his uncle took great joy in caring for them and overseeing their well-being.
Shao Ling felt a sense of joy as he observed the cows and donkeys in the distance.
His uncle would often take them to the mountains to graze on grass. Sometimes he would even ride the donkey and spend considerable time away from home. He rarely returned early.
Since he couldn’t locate his uncle, Shao Ling decided topose himself and head back home.
Confronted by Zhao Mings affectionate gaze and overwhelmed by his own desires, Shao Ling couldn’t bring himself to tell her about his failure in the task.
Instead, he vaguely assured her that he would ensure everything went smoothly.
Zhao Ming, being somewhat naive herself, either willingly ignored the gaps in his exnation or simply wanted to hear what she desired. She refrained from probing further, as delving deeper would only lead to more questions.
Relieved by her eptance, Zhao Ming expressed her gratitude with a smile.
In that moment, Shao Ling found himself motivated and began to believe that his words held some truth.
The girl thanked him, and the boy modestly expressed himself, as if their exchange represented a genuine urrence.
Shao Ling was convinced that Zhao Ming was falling in love with him. Filled with motivation, he mustered the courage to express his affection for her and proimed his desire to marry her.
To his surprise, Zhao Ming was dumbfounded and flushed with embarrassment. She wished she could p Shao Ling and make him disappear.
If it weren’t for the problem the Zhao Family faced that day, she would never have sought his help. How dare someone like Shao Ling entertain the idea of marrying her? He had merely been a source of mockery in the past!
Who did he think he was?
He was never deserving of her!
Furious and humiliated, Zhao Ming refrained from directly ming Shao Ling. Instead, she hurriedly left without providing clear answers to his questions.
Shao Ling, however, interpreted her hasty departure as a sign of her shyness, which only boosted his ego.
Eager to unt his supposed victory, he shared the news with his mother, hoping she would arrange a matchmaker to propose to the Zhao Family.
Shao Ling couldn’t possibly expect Zhao Ming to make the proposal herself. It would put too much pressure on her. He should be the one taking the initiative.
Feeling proud, Ms. Ma showered her son with praise. “My son is so capable! Lady Zhao is beautiful, and she muste from a wealthy family. Only a girl like her is worthy of being my son’s wife.”
Shao Ling beamed with joy but his expression turned serious as he heard about the trouble the Zhao Family was facing. “Mom and Dad,e with me to the first section of the family. We need to talk to our Eldest Uncle and ask him not to treat the Zhao Family so harshly.”
He realized that unless he could resolve the Zhao Family’s problem, he wouldn’t be able to proceed with the proposal. After all, Zhao Ming had mentioned that her father and brother were in prison.
Ms. Ma was taken aback. “What?”
Shao Ling proceeded to exin the entire situation to his mother.
Ms. Ma’s face changed dramatically. “What? Lady Zhao is from the Zhao Family, that family?”
Shao Ling furrowed his brow. “Yes, is something wrong?”
“What?..
