"This..." Xu Qigang's face revealed an unnatural expression. How could he, a grown man, explain this? Should he tell that he had hugged a girl from the General Union Dance Troupe during the evening gala, and incredibly, he dreamed of her that night when he went to sleep? And that he didn't want to get involved with any other women, so even under his father's threat of beating him to death, he had to refuse the marriage arranged by his family?
Considering how the young lady in front of him would react, and also his future reputation, Xu Qigang decided to keep his mouth shut.
"What do you mean 'this'?" Sheng Ning guessed suspiciously, "You must have heard about my reputation back home, so you're afraid to marry me, despising me."
"What reputation do you have at home?" No matter how bad her reputation was, could it be worse than his family's? Xu Qigang still remembered how eager the whole county was to send him off when he left.
