Chapter 22 - Ch 22. Marriage?

"Pfft! Marriage!?"

Su Daoxuan wiped the tea that he had just spit out from his mouth.

"Who?"

Xiao Lan answered, "It seems to be Wang Lieyan."

"Wang Lieyan!? That crazy girl from the Wang family?!"

Su Ye asked, "Crazy?"

"Heh, if you get married to her, be prepared to be henpecked your entire life!"

With Su Daoxuan and Su Ye sitting together, it was like a grandpa and his grandson. 

Though the roles were reversed. 

Su Ye said, "But she looked beautiful and elegant. Though she was a bit weird, but it wasn't as bad as you put it."

Xiao Lan nodded, "Yeah, she was really pretty! I can't believe that she was the Wang's family daughter."

"Really?" Su Daoxuan looked at them dubiously. "Even Wang Lie's grandmother was the same. They slowly reel you in and then they take a bite at you when you have nowhere to run or hide!" 

As if remembering past events, his back shivered. 

"Every Wang family is a wolf in sheeps clothing! Just look at Wang Lie. He was doing fine, but just had to become a live son in law."

"He's a live son in law?"

Su Daoxuan nodded. 

"At that time, all the elders resisted. But really it was just playing hard to get."

"No way..."

"You think I'm joking with you? Once they set their sight on something, they won't let go. In any case, don't say I didn't warn you." 

He paused for a second. 

"But, are you really going to marry her if she wins?"

He was genuinely curious. 

Since the Oath Flower didn't work on him, he could technically just pretend that they've never swore anything. 

But...it was kind of scummy. 

"I'll think about it when it happens."

Just like that, he threw the problem to the back of his mind. 

Well there was already a solution that Su Ye had thought of and was relatively confident.

Seeing that Su Ye didn't explain further, Su Daoxuan didn't push it and simply nodded. 

Shen Wanqing approached them. 

"Ye'er! I heard that you got proposed to!"

"How does everyone know all of sudden–"

Su Ye slowly side eyed Xiao Lan who was gazing off into the distant skies. 

He sighed, "I'm not getting married anytime soon."

Su Yixiao carried a dragon's head and placed it besides him. His smile revealed canine teeth. 

"Dear nephew! I heard that you're getting married! I got you this Rain Dragon's head for you!"

Su Ye narrowed his eyes at Xiao Lan who was whistling her favorite song. 

You even told my uncle???

He gritted his teeth as he awkwardly smiled. 

"I'm not getting married!"

Shen Wanqing ignored him and said, "When are you getting married? I need to prepare your betrothal gift!"

Su Yixiao smiled as he also ignored him, "You're my grandson! It's about time you got married. Lets make this a big event!"

Su Ye face palmed and sighed. 

He glared at Xiao Lan who was giggling cheerfully while chewing on sunflower seeds. 

"You sure have it good don't you?"

She quickly hid the flower seeds cleaned up the mess. Xiao Lan extended her hands. 

"Want some?"

He looked at her with a scrunched face as if he had just stuffed a sour lemon in his mouth.

"...no."
