Chen Xu never imagined that upon returning home, the first thing he would see was such a scene.
In the night, Chen Ping and Lady Meng, like a pair of star-crossed lovers, poured out their hearts to each other across the low gate of the fence.
Amidst their reluctant affection, the two gradually came to a decision.
"Chen Lang, come out with me. If we become true husband and wife, father and mother will see my resolve and should soften their hearts a bit, and approve of us," Lady Meng said.
"This..." Chen Ping was shocked and blurted out, "How could we do such a thing?"
Tears filled Lady Meng's eyes instantly. Her whole body trembled slightly, and she spoke with a heartbroken voice:
"Chen Lang, do you despise me?"
Those few short words truly shattered the heart into pieces.
How could Chen Ping stand that?
He gritted his teeth immediately: "How, how could I?"
