Chapter 243: Who Said He Has Nothing to Do With Me

~7 min read 1,364 words

Bai Wei's breathing hitched, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Xiao Moting also came back to his senses; he looked up to see everyone around staring at him, and a crimson flush rapidly stained his well-defined, handsome face.

Bai Wei's cheeks burned; she raised her foot to kick him lightly and lowered her voice.

"Xiao Moting, what nonsense are you spouting? There are so many people here."

The matchmaker's ears were too sharp; she heard Bai Wei's words instantly and darted in front of Xiao Moting.

"Little Young Master, she says it has nothing to do with you, but Magistrate Liu's family is quite well-off, and his daughter is beautiful too. Just come with me and take a look, and you'll see."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Xiao Moting.

Bai Wei immediately stepped forward and swatted the fat matchmaker's arm away.

"Who said he has nothing to do with me?"

As she spoke, she turned her head to glance at Xiao Moting. "He is my husband, and I am his wife! You want to snatch my husband?"

Bai Wei was calm and composed, her voice crisp.

But the moment her words finished, the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Qin Zhan rubbed his eyes vigorously and excitedly nudged Xiao Dabao beside him with his elbow.

"Dabao, did I hear that right? Goddess and our Prince have actually taken a liking to each other."

Xiao Dabao also looked dazed. "The Goddess wants to marry the Prince?"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he was extremely excited. "Everyone says our Prince can't find a wife, and finally, someone is willing to have him!"

The fat matchmaker looked suspicious, sizing Bai Wei up and down.

"You say you are his wife?"

"But I have known countless people; which couple looks like you two?"

"That's right." The thin matchmaker also squeezed over and gestured toward Bai Wei. "You two don't look familiar at all; how are you like a married couple? Based on my thirty-five years of experience as a matchmaker, you two are definitely not a couple."

"Don't believe me?" Bai Wei raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to prove it to you?"

The two matchmakers exchanged a glance.

"If you want to prove it, then prove it to us; prove that you two are a married couple."

"Right, otherwise you're just here to snatch a man from us. Seeing this little young master is young and promising, you just want to snatch him away."

Seeing the two matchmakers being unreasonable and insisting on dragging Xiao Moting away.

Bai Wei nodded. "Fine, I will prove it to you right now."

She gave Xiao Moting a wink and leaned in close, lowering her voice.

"Hey, cooperate a little."

After saying that, Bai Wei wrapped her arms around Xiao Moting's neck, stood on tiptoe, and gave his handsome, chiseled face a swift kiss.

Then she turned her head and looked at the two stunned matchmakers with a smile.

"Now, do you believe he is my husband?"

The surroundings were silent; the crowd all widened their eyes in astonishment, staring fixedly at Bai Wei.

Even Xiao Moting seemed to have been stunned by her action, unable to recover for a moment.

"Oh my, how embarrassing." The fat matchmaker immediately covered her face with her hands, her cheeks bright red. "You... you just kissed him? And you didn't even blush."

The thin matchmaker came to her senses and slapped her thigh, crying out, "Goodness, this is too bold! I've lived my whole life and brought together hundreds of couples, but I've never seen a girl do this... this kind of thing to her husband on the street..."

Bai Wei didn't blush at all, smiling. "Then you've seen it now? He is my husband; no one is allowed to snatch him away."

After speaking, she raised her arm.

"If anyone wants to try and drag my husband home to be their son-in-law again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"We won't snatch him, we won't..." The fat matchmaker covered her face with her handkerchief, red-faced, and ran out the door.

The thin matchmaker also hurried out. "I'm leaving too; I can't believe Daliang Kingdom has such a fierce woman."

Seeing the two matchmakers no longer pestering Xiao Moting and running out the door one after another, Bai Wei clapped her hands happily.

"Done."

She turned around. "Finally, it's quiet."

But as soon as Bai Wei looked up, she froze.

The crowd in the shop was all staring fixedly at her.

"You... why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

Xiao Dabao's eyes went blank as he whispered to Qin Zhan.

"Did I see that right just now... Goddess actually... actually kissed the Prince!"

Qin Zhan also looked shocked. "You didn't see wrong, she really kissed him."

"It's over, now the Goddess has to take responsibility for the Prince."

Bai Wei was about to speak to Xiao Moting, but when she looked up, she found his entire handsome face was flushed red.

She was stunned, wondering if she had gone too far just now.

Although in the modern era, it was nothing for a boyfriend and girlfriend to kiss on the cheek.

But this was Daliang, and her kissing Xiao Moting in public was undoubtedly a shocking act!

No wonder the two matchmakers were embarrassed and scurried out the door.

Bai Wei came to her senses and also felt awkward.

She leaned toward Xiao Moting and lowered her voice.

"That... I was just joking earlier; it was mainly to drive away those two matchmakers who were pestering you."

"I... I kissed you, so don't have any mental burden, and please don't take it to heart."

Xiao Moting lowered his head. "Then what if I have taken it to heart?"

"Huh?" Bai Wei could not snap out of it.

Although she had gone a bit too far, she had only kissed him, and it was just a fleeting peck at that.

"Then, then what do you want?"

Xiao Moting chuckled in a low voice, "Since you told the matchmaker that you are my wife, and everyone heard it, then simply put, you might as well be my wife."

Bai Wei was startled, "No, I was just joking earlier."

Although she knew that people in ancient times were very serious about marriage, and she also liked Xiao Moting a little bit, the two of them had not reached the stage of discussing marriage.

She suddenly had a bright idea, "Right, don't you all value things like pledging one's life to another? We haven't even pledged anything."

"How have we not pledged?" Xiao Moting picked up his Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, then picked up the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant hanging from her belt, and joined them into a pair, "You've already accepted the token, and you still don't want to be my wife?"

The two jade pendants finally came together, forming a perfect whole.

Bai Wei's face turned completely red.

She never would have imagined that Xiao Moting could be so shameless.

The two of them had their heads together, huddled close to whisper, but the crowd in the shop was staring at them both.

Seeing Xiao Moting and Bai Wei being so affectionate, the crowd all around was smiling awkwardly.

Bai Wei was also extremely embarrassed and could not help but kick Xiao Moting.

"Everyone is watching."

Jia Shun watched with his heart in his throat.

Daring to kiss the Prince of Zhenbei in public and even kicking him, Bai is likely the only one in the entire Daliang Dynasty who would dare.

The Prince of Zhenbei is truly henpecked; being pushed around like this by his future wife and even being made to blush, he actually isn't angry at all.

It is clear that the Prince of Zhenbei really dotes on his future wife.

Bai is a powerful figure I must cling to in the future.

"Why is everyone silent?" Seeing the atmosphere begin to turn awkward, Qin Zhan hurriedly laughed it off, "That... have the account books in the shop been tallied? Everyone, let's go to Prefect Jia's mansion to eat; aren't you all hungry?"
