Chapter 1272 - 1268: A Young Girl’s Feelings

At the age Fu Xiaonan is at, she should be experiencing her first crush.

If someone confessed to her, she should be shy, or perhaps hopeful!

But after being abandoned by her childhood sweetheart fiancé, Fu Xiaonan is more afraid of love than anything!

The saying "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope" fits well here!

"Xiao Nan, I don’t know when I will return this time. I know you don’t want to see me off, so I just wanted to see you one last time!" said Xing Beichen.

Fu Xiaonan couldn’t bring herself to look at Xing Beichen, and what needed to be said had already been said long ago.

She doesn’t want to give hope to anyone, including herself!

"Actually, Xiao Nan is the most unique girl I’ve ever met! When we first met, how happy you were, like a little butterfly, walking, talking, always with a smile!"

"Brother Xing, please don’t say any more, I... I won’t wait for you!" Fu Xiaonan said painfully.

"I know... but I’m afraid if I don’t say it this time, there won’t be another chance! Once on the battlefield, life and death are no longer my own choice!" said Xing Beichen.

In fact, what Xing Beichen was saying to Fu Xiaonan seemed somewhat unreasonable.

Fu Xiaonan had no obligation to listen to this, nor did she have any obligation to come out this time.

But he just couldn’t help it; he always thought that maybe Fu Xiaonan liked him and only rejected him like this because of those bad memories.

After Xing Beichen finished speaking, he looked at Fu Xiaonan with hope.

Fu Xiaonan still shook her head, "Sorry, Brother Xing... we are not suitable!"

At this moment, Xing Beichen felt despair in his heart, but he didn’t regret it.

He said what he always wanted to say in his heart. Even if there are regrets between him and Xiao Nan, he doesn’t regret it!

"Xiao Nan, thank you..."

After saying this, Xing Beichen turned and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Watching Xing Beichen walk further away, Fu Xiaonan didn’t know why her eyes became wet.

She kept her eyes open until she could no longer see Xing Beichen’s figure.

Fu Wu came out of the yard, looking at his daughter who was so heartbroken, he felt extremely distressed.

He asked, "Girl, have you... fallen for that boy? Dad will go and bring him back for you, we... we can arrange the marriage, right?"

Fu Xiaonan shook her head, choking up as she spoke, "Dad, there’s no need, he and I are not fated!

Besides, you only have one daughter. I won’t marry far, or else who will take care of you when you grow old?"

Fu Xiaonan’s words made Fu Wu let out a heavy sigh.

Long ago, he thought his daughter was immature and childish.

But now that his daughter is sensible, he thinks it would’ve been better if she had stayed innocent!

"Xiao Nan... or should dad go talk to Qingshan’s father? A while ago, I met him, Qingshan may have married that woman, but he’s not happy, he has neither son nor daughter!

If you can’t let him go, dad... dad agrees for you to be his concubine. Although you’ll have to compete for his favor, at least there are some things that won’t have restrictions!"

Fu Wu had been pondering this for a long time.

His daughter’s problem began after the engagement with Qingshan fell through and turned into this.

"Dad, do you know what you’re saying? Zhao Qingshan and I have no chance! He wronged me, not the other way around!

I, Fu Xiaonan, won’t look for him again, even if I remain unmarried all my life!" Fu Xiaonan responded to Fu Wu’s words, agitated.

After saying this, she explained to Fu Wu, "Dad, haven’t you always said that the most important thing for a woman is to find someone who loves her and treats her well?

When Zhao Qingshan brought a woman to my house to discuss marriage, wasn’t that a slap in the face? Clearly, he was the one who did wrong, yet everyone in the village thought I was being petty.

I was the one divorced, the one abandoned, but I’m the one at fault! Did you see the kind of people Matchmaker Sun introduced to me? All with broken arms and legs, widowers, orphans, and lonely people...

I’ve never been married, but because of Zhao Qingshan’s mistake, do I have to marry such people?"

Fu Xiaonan’s words made Fu Wu feel extremely ashamed on the spot!

He also felt like he had been blinded by lard.

Clearly, his daughter was the one who suffered, yet he considered having her marry Zhao Qingshan.

"Xiao Nan, listen to dad, if you like that Xing Beichen, tell him, no matter how far you marry, your mother and I will not be left uncared for!

At worst, we’ll adopt a poor child and have them care for us when we are old!"

"Xiao Nan, in life, the hardest thing is to meet someone you like. Your mother and I found each other, your Uncle Dashan and Aunt Da met each other.

Shuangshuang met Fengzi, if you wish, you can meet someone too! As long as you’re willing to take this step and tell Xing Beichen, you like him, you’re willing to wait for him!"

Fu Wu’s words were like a beguiling poison to Fu Xiaonan.

She listened, and her heart had already started to waver.

Especially when she saw, from afar, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng walking hand in hand in the village.

"Xiao Nan, results require a process, only if you accept this process, will you have good results!" Fu Wu said again.

After saying this, Fu Xiaonan ran towards the direction of the village entrance.

In her heart, she chanted:

Brother Beichen, during the days we spent together, I gradually realized that I like you too!

But I come from a humble background and have been abandoned before, I know I’m not worthy of you.

I am not like Shuangshuang, able to earn money and socialize.

I don’t know how to do anything, and if taken out, I wouldn’t even know how to interact with people.

But this time, I’m willing to try, just like my dad said, results require a process, I’m willing to try this process!

...

Fu Xiaonan found Xing Beichen at the village entrance, looking dejected.

The moment Fu Xiaonan appeared, Xing Beichen’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of light.

He wanted to say something to Fu Xiaonan, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something.

"Brother Beichen, I’m willing to wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I’m willing..."

After saying this, Fu Xiaonan’s face turned red as she lowered her head.

Xing Beichen was stunned.

From hell to heaven, it only took a moment.

He thought that this possibility was gone for a lifetime, yet now it had come true!

"Xiao Nan, is what you said true?" Xing Beichen asked in disbelief.

"It’s true! I want to be like Shuangshuang and have my own piece of love! No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, however brave Shuangshuang is, that’s how brave I’ll be! I won’t be afraid of anything..."
