Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Finding Faults Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Finding Faults “Silly girl, your sister wouldn’t bear to hit you; she’s just joking with you.”
Madam Xie smiled and gently rubbed her little head, thinking to herself that Big Bull was truly good for their family. With his care for Xuexue, she too felt at ease, and the Mo family didn’t dare to come over and cause trouble. Their family could also lead a somewhat peaceful life.
As the two of them were cuddly and affectionate, Madam Xie couldn’t help but interrupt, “Big Bull, when are you going to marry Xuexue?”
“Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?” Xuexue stomped her foot, saying a bit shyly before Big Bull could speak.
Madam Xie: “It’s only natural for men and women to marry when they come of age. What your mother says isn’t nonsensical. You two are always together; getting married to stop idle gossip would allow you to be together rightfully. Others wouldn’t have the chance to wag their tongues then, right?”
The village gossips, perhaps envious of their happy days, always backbit them. When they ran out of things to say, they accused Big Bull and Xuexue of being intimate without being married, casting doubt on whether they had behaved improperly. Madam Xie was very angry when she heard these words, but was helpless. She couldn’t just go and beat them up, not to mention she didn’t have the courage for that.
With such a good opportunity today, she simply prompted them to get married; it was better than listening to those annoying words.
Big Bull also wanted to marry Xuexue sooner rather than later.
But he didn’t want to slight Xuexue. He loved her and desired to give her the best wedding in the world.
“Good mother, getting married is a significant event in life. Big Bull loves his lady deeply and naturally wishes to marry soon. However, Big Bull wants to give her the most glorious wedding. Give me some time, and I’ll definitely bring my lady home in a grand manner.”
“All right, with you saying that, I am reassured.”
With Big Bull speaking so earnestly, Madam Xie could only nod in agreement. Although, she thought Big Bull’s words were a bit exaggerated—understandably grand, yes, but the grandest in the world seemed a bit much. But then she thought it was just a metaphor and didn’t take it to heart.
Late at night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, with stars twinkling.
“Knock knock…!”
Xuexue was cultivating in her space when suddenly she heard a knock on her room door, prompting her to immediately exit the space.
In recent times, she had faced many setbacks, which made her decide to devote herself to cultivation, enhancing her own abilities. Now, every night, not only would she practice martial arts with Big Bull, but after returning to her room, she would also go into her space to cultivate with Xiao Taohong, diligently without any relaxation. After all, the day to return to the capital from her past life and the day to face her enemy were approaching; both mind and body needed to be honed to have the strength to confront her foe.
“Who is it?”
In the blink of an eye, Xuexue was lying on the bed again.
“My lady, it’s me,” Big Bull’s deep voice sounded.
“The door isn’t bolted, come in,” she said.
“Oh!”
Big Bull responded and pushed the door open with force…
“Creak.”
“Big Bull, why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour? What brings you here?” Since realizing her feelings for Big Bull, Xuexue’s eyes softened whenever she saw him.
“I can’t sleep and wanted to talk to my lady.”
“Alright, come sit here,” Xuexue patted the side of her bed.
Big Bull sat down beside the bed, eyes downcast toward Xuexue, and said, “My lady, did you not ask me last time whether I had regained my memory?”
“Mhm!” Xuexue nodded.
“I can tell you now that I have indeed regained my memory.”
“Oh!”
With his heart in his throat, Big Bull sat there, waiting for Xuexue to ask about his past. He’d been rehearsing all night in his room, pondering how to speak without alarming Xuexue.
But to his surprise, after Xuexue acknowledged his statement, the conversation dropped there.
