After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 233: Asking for Marriage

"Are you hiding something from me?" Niuniu asked crisply.

Liu Xiaoru replied: "No, I tell people everything, unlike some people."

When Shopkeeper Luo heard this, his face became even more confused.

"Xiao Ru..."

Liu Xiaoru interrupted: "Don't call me so close, so as not to cause misunderstanding."

A look of hurt flashed across Shopkeeper Luo's face.

Liu Xiaoru couldn't bear it, but she forced herself not to care.

Niuniu, on the other hand, tilted her head and said, "What is there that I can't know? Please make it clear."

Liu Xiaoru didn't know how to explain it to her child.

But Shopkeeper Luo had already knelt down and said to Niu Niu: "Some adult matters are not easy for children to hear. When you are older, if you ask us again, we will definitely tell you."

When Niuniu heard this explanation, she stopped asking questions and just said: "Okay, then I will remember to ask again when I grow up. Are you going to talk behind my back now?"

Shopkeeper Luo wanted to get up and leave, but after hearing Niuniu's question, he still felt a little unwilling in his heart.

He glanced at Niuniu, who was still looking at him with big eyes, and asked his servant to take good care of Niuniu, and then invited Liu Xiaoru into the house.

With no one else around, Shopkeeper Luo made his words a little clearer.

"Shopkeeper Liu, although you probably don't want to, I still want to express my feelings."

Liu Xiaoru said with a cold face: "What do you mean?"

Shopkeeper Luo made his words more clear: "I admire you and want to marry you. Now that you don't want to, in order to avoid you feeling embarrassed, I will ask Ronglu to intervene in future business dealings."

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly.

Ronglu is a close confidant of shopkeeper Luo, he is capable and his right-hand man.

Shopkeeper Luo added: "If you encounter something that can't be solved in the future, just go to Ronglu and think that I can do my best for you."

Liu Xiaoru saw that his attitude was sincere and he was looking at her with a gentle expression from beginning to end. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xiaoru asked, "Who is that woman?"

Shopkeeper Luo was stunned when he heard this: "Which woman?"

"Today I met you on the street talking to the woman on the carriage. That woman was extremely beautiful, unlike me, who is not as pretty as me." Liu Xiaoru said with a hint of jealousy.

Shopkeeper Luo's first reaction was: "Who said you are mediocre in appearance? You are very good-looking in my eyes."

Liu Xiaoru's ears warmed slightly when she heard this, but she still looked cold-hearted.

Shopkeeper Luo continued: "The woman sitting on the carriage is a cousin of my clan. The reason why I have delayed going to Beijing for so long is that in addition to handling the business of Guanglin Mansion, I also have to **** my cousin to Beijing."

Liu Xiaoru looked at him doubtfully.

Shopkeeper Luo lowered his voice and said: "The elders of the clan have found a way to send my cousin to the palace."

Liu Xiaoru's eyes widened and she said, "Shengsheng Wuzi, is this what your family has in mind?"

Shopkeeper Luo sighed and said: "This is decided by the elders. My cousin wants to have a nice stroll around the capital before entering the palace. I will arrange for someone to accompany her today."

When Liu Xiaoru thought about what she had glimpsed earlier, such a beautiful woman was going to be a concubine for a man old enough to be her father.

"Can't you just go?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

Shopkeeper Luo shook his head and said: "My cousin's father has already received a lot of benefits because of this matter. I'm afraid he won't be willing to spit it out. He also hopes that his cousin will support his brothers after he becomes successful. My cousin has always been filial. She also wants to secure a future for her brother..." Liu Xiaoru suddenly stopped talking. What she was most afraid of was the words "I am happy".

But shopkeeper Luo suddenly came to his senses and said, "Are you angry with me because of my cousin? Does that mean you are willing?"

When Liu Xiaoru was asked this question, she immediately blushed. She was about to respond openly, but suddenly thought of something. After her face changed for a long time, she shook her head and said, "No, I didn't mean that."

But what Shopkeeper Luo is best at is observing words and expressions: "I don't believe you have no affection for me. If that's the case, why did you ask about my cousin just now?"

Liu Xiaoru didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shopkeeper Luo continued: "Shopkeeper Liu, you are hiding something deep in your heart. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for several days. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Liu to explain clearly what my shortcomings are."

Liu Xiaoru closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "There's nothing wrong with you, it's me."

Shopkeeper Luo looked puzzled.

Liu Xiaoru asked: "You should know that I once separated from Renhe."

Shopkeeper Luo nodded and said, "It's actually a good thing for a woman to make up her mind to divorce someone when she encounters someone unkind. It's better than continuing to live in confusion."

Liu Xiaoru was not surprised that he would say this.

"I just found out recently that I was pregnant before. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and the child could not be saved. I did not find out that I was pregnant. I still worked all day long and rarely had any confinement period. The doctor said that I might not have any pregnancy in the future. child."

When Shopkeeper Luo heard this, his eyes were filled with distress, and he said: "You must have been feeling very uncomfortable at that time. Can the doctor prescribe any treatment? I heard that if a woman catches an illness during confinement, she will suffer from pain and fatigue." Tortured.”

Seeing him like this, Liu Xiaoru said again: "I can't have children, do you still want to continue asking for marriage?"

Shopkeeper Luo still looked at her with gentle eyes: "Why not?"

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she got stuck and said stumblingly: "You are not married and you have no heirs..."

Shopkeeper Luo, however, was exceptionally open-minded: "Life in this world is not about having children."

Liu Xiaoru's expression paused.

Shopkeeper Luo continued: "It's good to make a lot of money, enjoy a lot of delicious food, and spend your life with the people you like."

Liu Xiaoru opened her eyes wide: "You... do you really think so?"

Shopkeeper Luo chuckled lightly and said: "Children are just embellishments in a long life. In the final analysis, I still have to live with my wife. If one day I really want a child, I can go to the clan and choose a lonely young son to adopt. Why should you stick to your own bloodline?”

Shopkeeper Luo's open-mindedness left Liu Xiaoru speechless.

She had never seen such a man before. She still remembered her former mother-in-law, who talked about the child all day long and cursed her as a chicken that couldn't lay eggs.

It seems that a woman’s entire life value is to have children.

"What about your parents? Don't they also want grandchildren?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

"I have explained the situation to my parents, and they will not be a hindrance between us."

Liu Xiaoru pursed her lips and remained silent.

Shopkeeper Luo's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and he stared at Liu Xiaoru intently and deeply.

"Shopkeeper Liu, when I first met you, you were unwilling to sell braised meat to me just because Cheng He made a verbal contract. If Cheng He hadn't betrayed his promise, I wouldn't have been able to do business with you, let alone understand you. I knew then that You are different from others.”

"You keep your promises and act magnanimously. You are a good woman that is hard to find in the world. I am not asking to marry you to have children with you, but because I want to join hands with the person I admire for the rest of my life. I want to ask you again... I... Luo Qinghui, can I have the opportunity to get the blessing of marrying you? "
