Young Master Tang, you are too kind. I am deeply moved by your sister’s willingness to overlook my poverty and take the risk of facing criticism to talk about marriage at my home,” Qin Niu said, nodded at Tang Cai Xian with a smile.

“Please, take a seat! My home is very modest, I hope you’ll excuse its simplicity.”

The poverty of Qin Niu’s family could truly be described as destitute.

There used to be some possessions, but after Old Man Liu died, Qin Niu had sold everything for silver money.

He exchanged it for a Low-grade Contract Charm.

Looking back, that was the most correct decision of his life.

“The day the flood began to recede, I saw you leap into the waters across the bank, selflessly rescuing the calf. I had a very good impression of you. At night, as soon as I close my eyes, 1 can see your heroic figure. 1 don’t care that you’re poor; when my grandfather married my grandmother, they were also very poor, but through their own efforts, bit by bit, they built up some family business.

By my father’s generation, the family business had expanded and we lived quite comfortably.

1 trust my own eyes and judgment. You are a person who is brave and bold, and I believe that no matter what, our future together will not be that bad. And even if by some chance we are down on our luck and live a hard life, it will still be the path I chose myself, and I will have no regrets.”

She seemed even more daring than the girls in the city.

She must be doted on by her parents and elders at home.

The generous dowry proposed by the Tang Family also showed they did not belittle their daughter.

“Miss Tang, thank you for your deep affection, but I am currently not considering marriage,” Qin Niu, once again, gently rejected her.

Qin Niu, my sister and 1 have come to you with thick faces, it’s truly because she fell for you at first sight. ‘An elder brother is like a father,’ so I will just speak frankly. It’s a good thought for a man to want to establish his career before getting married. In fact, the tradition since ancient times is to marry first, then set up a career. Once married, with a wife to take care of household affairs, you will have more time and energy to strive for your career. Plus, there’s someone to look after your daily needs,” Tang Bin said, attempting to persuade Qin Niu with all his might.

“Furthermore, if you don’t wish to marry into the wife’s family, my sister can come live with you. Then she could bring a dowry to help lay the foundation for your business.”

Judging by his tone, the dowry promised would certainly be substantial.

Some brothers sought every possible way to extract money from their sisters or other siblings. Tang Bin, who was willing to offer part of the family wealth as his sister’s dowry, was relatively rare.

This also indicated that the siblings had a good relationship; they were not the type of selfish people who would ignore familial affection for the sake of money.

“If you really don’t want to get married so soon, just give me one word, and I am willing to wait for you,” Tang Cai Xian said with courage, biting her vibrant red lips.

This girl was love-struck, truly going to great lengths for affection.

“Miss Tang, I’m truly sorry, but I really have no intention of being in a relationship right now,” Qin Niu said, trying not to hurt her pride.

Looking at such a beautiful girl, to say he was not moved would be a lie.

But he was very clear that marriage would undoubtedly bring numerous encumbrances.

And if they had children later, it would only become even more complicated. “Little sister, since Qin Niu doesn’t have this in mind for now, let’s go home first,” Tang Bin said, who had shamelessly accompanied his sister on this visit, which was already embarrassing enough.

Now that Qin Niu had rejected them, he naturally couldn’t sit there any longer. “It might be good to give Ah Niu some time. He probably didn’t expect such an incredible stroke of luck to come his way and hasn’t come to his senses yet. When he calms down and thinks of Miss Tang’s virtues, who knows, he might be moved. He might even press me to take the initiative to come to propose.” Auntie Hua quickly spoke to ease the situation, to spare the Tang siblings any embarrassment.

“Young Master Qin, can we chat alone for a moment?”

But Tang Cai Xian had her own judgment.

She was not prepared to give up easily. Missing out on destiny might mean missing out for a lifetime.

“Certainly!”

When Qin Niu faced her gaze, he found it impossible to refuse.

He really didn’t know what such a blossom-like beauty saw in him.

“Come to the backyard with me for a chat!”

Qin Niu stood up and led Tang Caixian toward the backyard.

As she drew near, a faint fragrance also wafted to Qin Niu’s nose.

It smelled good and quite unique.

It was a bit like the fragrance of jasmine, with a touch of the fresh scent of roses.

The two arrived at the backyard, and she glanced at some of the herbs planted there, showing a slight surprise.

“These herbs look like they’ve been recently planted. Are you planning to create a Hundred Herbs Garden?”

She seemed poised and graceful.

Hehe, not really. I planted them in order to sell them for Silver Money.” Standing in front of this small patch of cultivated herbs with her, looking at these plants, Qin Niu felt somewhat less awkward.

“Do you like me?”

She boldly met Qin Niu’s eyes.

“Well… you’re so beautiful, and well-mannered, and your behavior exudes great upbringing, to say I don’t like you would be a lie. But marriage is a lifelong commitment, and I really don’t have any plans to marry right now.”

Qin Niu answered honestly.

“Mutual affection starts with liking each other, and it’s okay if you don’t want to marry now- we can get to know each other slowly. Besides, I’m still young, and my family has always cherished me and respected my wishes, so they probably won’t oppose it.”

Upon hearing this, a subtly joyous expression appeared on her face.

“By the way, this is for you. It’s called the Peaceful Jade, and wearing it will keep you safe. Regardless of whether we end up married or not, I hope you can live a peaceful life. Life is actually incredibly short, and my belief is that we should hurry to do the things we like.”

The jade pendant that Tang Caixian passed over resembled a crescent moon.

This shape of jade pendant was quite common.

Seeing that Qin Niu was dumbfounded and didn’t respond, she giggled, grabbed Qin Niu’s hand, and placed the jade pendant in it.

“I didn’t come here brazenly to propose marriage because I devalue myself or lack modesty, but because you are the only man I’ve met who has truly moved my heart. I’m afraid if I’m not brave this time, I’ll never have the chance again. Farewell!”

After delivering the jade, she drifted towards the outside.

Only then did Qin Niu snap back to reality.

“Miss Tang, please give me some time to seriously consider it.”

“Mhm!”

She nodded her head with a smile.

Qin Niu looked at the jade pendant in his hand, feeling a slight coolness emanating from it and seeping into his skin as he held it. His spiritual power seemed to be slowly growing.

This jade pendant was anything but ordinary.

It certainly wasn’t simply a piece of jasper.

To receive such a precious gift at their first meeting, Qin Niu would be lying if he said he didn’t feel anything.

This marriage proposal came as if a surprise gift bestowed by heaven.

He truly had no inkling of preparation for it, and whether to accept it required calm deliberation.

It was a matter of being responsible both to himself and to the lady.

Watching her light, graceful steps-a girl who had learned to dance has a different way of walking, exceptionally beautiful..
