However.
The actions of this father and daughter were too obvious.
Not only did Zhou Yu see it, but Old Master Xie and the others present also saw it!
"Divine Doctor Zhou, last time you said that if Zhu Ling'er also agreed, you would consider the engagement valid, right?"
The Zhu family head asked with a kind expression.
Zhou Yu braced himself and replied, "That's right, but Ling'er must know my true situation!"
"No problem, our Ling'er is not that superficial!" The Zhu family head said with a chuckle.
Zhu Ling'er didn't know about the engagement yet.
The Zhu family head hadn't mentioned it to her during this time.
So when she heard their cryptic conversation, Zhu Ling'er was completely bewildered!
The Zhu family head glanced at his foolish daughter, then said to Zhou Yu, "Divine Doctor Zhou, why don't you tell her yourself?"
Zhou Yu looked at the Zhu family head, then at Zhu Ling'er's expectant expression.
He closed his eyes.
Either way, he had to face it.
Zhou Yu didn't dither and frankly told Zhu Ling'er about the engagement.
"That's right, your childhood sweetheart fiancée is me!"
Before Zhu Ling'er could be happy, Zhou Yu continued, "But I'm not just engaged to you, I'm already married."
Zhu Ling'er's mood was like a roller coaster.
It plummeted from the highest point to the lowest with Zhou Yu's words!
She looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief and questioned, "Since you were engaged to me, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"And why did you marry someone else!"
Zhou Yu spread his hands in helplessness and said, "I told you, I have more than one engagement. The person I married is also part of an engagement!"
Due to the overwhelming amount of information, Zhu Ling'er couldn't accept it immediately.
She took two steps back and raised her hand, "Let me calm down first."
Calm down?
That wouldn't do!
If Zhu Ling'er truly calmed down and weighed the pros and cons.
What if she still agreed?
Zhou Yu wanted Zhu Ling'er to get angry and explicitly reject the engagement!
So, Zhou Yu continued, "Ling'er, I think you're a good person and you can have a better life. There's no need to be tied to me."
"As long as you say you're unwilling, this engagement will be nullified on the spot!"
Zhou Yu's words clearly indicated that he didn't want to fulfill the engagement with Zhu Ling'er.
How could Zhu Ling'er not hear it?
Her eyes were filled with anger as she glared at Zhou Yu and said, "Engagement nullified? You wish!"
"Do you think you can just walk away like this?"
Zhou Yu was immediately choked for words.
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed like nothing had really happened between him and Zhu Ling'er.
Yet, in Zhu Ling'er's words, it was as if Zhou Yu had done something to wrong her!
Zhu Ling'er stared at Zhou Yu's face.
After a long while, she said stubbornly, "Didn't you say that as long as I agreed, you would marry me?"
"Okay, I accept, I agree! I want to marry you!"
Zhou Yu twitched his lips, "But I already have a wife, don't you mind?"
Zhu Ling'er snorted, "I don't mind, I'll get along well with my sister!"
Now, Zhou Yu had a splitting headache!
He had revealed all this precisely to make Zhu Ling'er back down.
Who knew this little fiery girl was so stubborn?
Not only did she not back down, but she became even more enthusiastic!
Just as Zhou Yu was wondering how to dissuade Zhu Ling'er.
Clap, clap, clap—
The Zhu family head stood up and started clapping!
With a beaming smile, he grabbed Zhou Yu and said, "Oh, since Ling'er agrees, then I'll have people prepare. We'll have the wedding ceremony tomorrow."
"Everyone knows Divine Doctor Zhou's skills, so there's no need for any betrothal gifts or procedures."
Having said that, the Zhu family head turned to prepare the wedding for the two of them.
He was stopped by Zhou Yu!
"Divine Doctor Zhou, what's wrong?"
"You personally said before that as long as Ling'er agreed, you would have no objections."
The Zhu family head said deliberately.
Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment.
Could he refuse?
With so many engagements, if every woman pulled this stunt.
Would he ever be able to go out?
Moreover, Su Yuyan would certainly not be happy about it!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "There's one more thing I forgot to mention. If Zhu Ling'er wants to marry me, she must get my wife's consent."
The Zhu family head and Zhu Ling'er exchanged a glance.
Unconsciously, tears began to shimmer in Zhu Ling'er's eyes.
There was too much news today!
She hadn't even had time to be happy about her engagement with Zhou Yu.
Before she learned the devastating news that Zhou Yu was already married.
What further struck Zhu Ling'er was that Zhou Yu actually respected his wife so much that he asked Zhu Ling'er to get her consent before they could marry.
Why?
"Both she and I are engaged to you, why did you marry her and refuse to marry me?" Zhu Ling'er questioned.
Zhou Yu sighed, "Actually, I first went to her to break off the engagement, but by a twist of fate, we became husband and wife."
Zhu Ling'er felt even worse!
They were clearly starting from the same point.
It was just because she met Zhou Yu earlier that he was snatched away!
Thinking of this.
Zhu Ling'er clenched her small fists and said to Zhou Yu, "Alright, then take me back to Yunhai City. I'm sure I can get my sister's consent!"
It's over.
Zhou Yu's mind was filled with only these two words now.
He never expected that.
The feisty Zhu Ling'er would agree to such harsh conditions!
And she said it with such conviction.
What was even more terrifying was that the Zhu family head had no intention of stopping her at all!
Zhou Yu was completely floored.
He found an excuse and immediately "urinated" away.
He returned to his room.
Locked the door.
Zhou Yu stared at the furnishings in the room and sat for a while.
Then he immediately packed his things.
Taking advantage of Old Master Xie's absence from the room, Zhou Yu packed his medical kit and the like.
Then, he silently climbed over the wall and left the Xie family!
All the way.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to stop.
He left the old Xie family mansion and headed straight for the train station.
He didn't even get a seat ticket; Zhou Yu directly bought a standing ticket and rushed back to Yunhai City.
If his abilities allowed, Zhou Yu probably would have carried the train back!
And at the old Xie family mansion.
After the confrontation with Zhou Yu during the day, Zhu Ling'er had been in a low mood.
The Zhu family head, in order to comfort his daughter, didn't notice Zhou Yu's whereabouts.
When evening came.
When they called Zhou Yu out for dinner.
Everyone was surprised to discover that Zhou Yu had disappeared!
"Master, I searched very carefully. We've searched the house from top to bottom and still can't find Divine Doctor Zhou!"
The servant said with a wry face.
They had searched around the house over and over again!
Hearing this, Old Master Xie looked at the Zhu family head with schadenfreude and added,
"I saw that Divine Doctor Zhou's luggage was already packed. He's probably already in Yunhai City by now, right?"
The Zhu family head was so angry he jumped up, "This kid! He ran really fast!"
"It's not like I asked him to get married immediately!"
