Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 101 Can Wanwan Be Promised to Me (2)

Moreover, he didn’t discuss it with her beforehand, nor did he seek her consent. It was entirely his own decision, completely one-sided...

"Ji Dongquan, don’t joke with my parents. This isn’t funny at all." Mi Wan’s face wore a light smile, looking very kind and friendly, but her hand quietly reached behind Ji Dongquan and pinched him through his clothes, hinting that he should stop talking nonsense!

Ji Dongquan looked at Mi Wan intently. In her gentle, spring-like smile, he lost his focus for a moment, then with a touch of a smile, he said, "I’m not joking. Marrying you has been my greatest ambition for years."

Hearing this, Mi Wan was annoyed. Her eyes, previously filled with calm ripples, now seemed to be ablaze, with a golden glow, almost radiating heat.

"I’m really sorry, but I’ve never thought of marrying you! I didn’t before, and it’s even less possible now!" Mi Wan said somewhat defiantly.

In front of Ji Dongquan, she was used to venting all her emotions recklessly. Even though this was their first meeting in many years, she still couldn’t help but lose control of her emotions.

"Wanwan, how can you talk like that!"

Fang Qingru felt that Mi Wan’s words were too rude. She immediately pulled a long face to scold her and only after Mi Wan fell silent and lowered her head, did she shift her gaze to Ji Dongquan with an apologetic tone, "Ji, Wanwan spoke without thinking. Don’t take it to heart!"

"It’s okay. If she doesn’t want to marry me now, I’ll wait until she does." As he spoke, Ji Dongquan naturally reached out and affectionately held Mi Wan’s hand.

Sitting by their side, Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru saw his action, exchanged a tacit and silent glance, and both smiled happily.

Actually, Mi Wan was not entirely unmoved, but she truly felt they were unsuitable for each other.

Marriage isn’t just a matter between two people; it’s about two families. His mother didn’t like her and had made it clear before. A wealthy family like theirs would never accept a daughter-in-law with no background. Therefore, Shi Minjun had tried every means to separate them, even threatening her with her family’s safety to make her break up with Ji Dongquan voluntarily.

Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru didn’t know the whole truth about that year. Mi Wan only told them that Ji Dongquan’s parents disapproved of them being together, and she didn’t like him much either, so they simply broke up.

She wasn’t cowardly, nor did she want to give up! But she was forced by the harsh reality to make a choice between her family and him.

Resolutely, Mi Wan turned cold-faced, struggled to free herself from Ji Dongquan’s hand, then abruptly stood up and left without looking back.

"Wanwan, what are you doing! Come back here and sit down!"

Fang Qingru was furious and shouted sternly at Mi Wan’s back.

She felt that, regardless of whether Mi Wan liked him or not, Ji Dongquan’s sincere heart was rare and precious. Yet, Mi Wan didn’t appreciate it and even gave him the cold shoulder!

Fang Qingru was really angry, her breathing slightly disrupted, and her chest heaving up and down.

Seeing this, Mi Zhihong couldn’t bear it either, his face darkened and he said, "Wanwan, go discuss it with Ji. Whatever you have to say, say it properly. Don’t be stubborn. Look at how you’ve upset your mother; her face has changed color!"

Hearing her parents’ scolding, Mi Wan felt truly aggrieved! But for centuries, it has been difficult to defy parents’ orders, especially since her mother had a heart condition. If she really angered her mother, she’d be terribly guilty!

"Come with me."

Mi Wan didn’t dare to speak harshly again, looked at Ji Dongquan expressionlessly, then led the way out.

After they left, Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru noticed the overly quiet Xuanxuan.

At the moment, she was sitting on the sofa, her small body leaning against the backrest, her eyelids drooping, lost in deep thought.

"Xuanxuan, what are you thinking about? Are you unhappy about something? Tell Grandpa, okay?" Mi Zhihong leaned closer to Xuanxuan, his face showing a kindly and amiable expression, asking in a coaxing tone.

Xuanxuan gently shook her head, then looked up at Mi Zhihong with clear eyes and said very seriously, "Grandpa, I don’t want Mom to be Uncle’s wife. I want Dad and Mom to always be together."

Hearing this, Mi Zhihong almost choked on his saliva, and a troubled expression flashed across his face.

"Wife, this..." Mi Zhihong didn’t know how to answer Xuanxuan’s question, so he turned to Fang Qingru for help.

It was indeed a difficult question. Even someone as shrewd as Fang Qingru couldn’t find the right words to comfort Xuanxuan at this moment. So she tried tentatively, "Xuanxuan, don’t you like Uncle?"

"Of course I do. Uncle is a good man, a great hero. He’s very, very nice to Xuanxuan."

"Then why don’t you want Uncle and Mom to be together?" Fang Qingru asked again.

"Because Dad is my dad, and Dad should be with Mom!" Xuanxuan answered naively.

How could a five-year-old child clearly understand the emotional complexities between adults?

In Xuanxuan’s heart, no matter how good Ji Dongquan was, he wasn’t her dad. He wasn’t someone who lived with her. He was a hero, but an occasional one, unlike Song Guotao who could often accompany her and share those simple, small, yet joyful moments.

Although Xuanxuan was still young, she had already clearly defined the relationships between family members. So to her, the relationships between Ji Dongquan, Song Guotao, and Mi Wan were not something that could be easily overturned.

"Well, normally, Dad should indeed be with Mom. But if Mom isn’t happy with Dad, even so, would you still want Mom to be with Dad?" Fang Qingru moved closer, sitting beside Xuanxuan, and asked in a gentle tone.

"But why wouldn’t Mom be happy?"

"Because Dad treats Mom badly. Dad bullies Mom and doesn’t like her anymore. That’s why Grandpa and Grandma don’t want your Mom to be with your Dad."

A child should have a pure and happy environment to grow up in. So, saying these things to Xuanxuan was somewhat inappropriate. Yet, the reconciliation between Mi Wan and Song Guotao was absolutely impossible. Instead of giving her a hope that would be shattered, it was better to be honest with her. Besides, she was a smart and understanding child. She might not accept this fact right away, but over time, she would understand Mi Wan’s decision.

"Can’t he be forgiven if he admits his mistake?" Xuanxuan’s eyes widened like saucers. "But Grandma, Dad said he knew he was wrong and that he likes Mom very much. He’s been working hard to get Mom to forgive him."

"Some mistakes can’t be forgiven. Sigh..." Fang Qingru sighed, then slowly said, "When Xuanxuan grows up, she’ll understand."
