Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 293

As Lin Mengting was stared at by Sun Weiqi, she really wanted to look away and firmly say “impossible,” but she couldn’t resist the expectation and hope in Sun Weiqi’s eyes. She also couldn’t ignore the soft spot in her heart, her faint feelings of pity, and the subtle joy and happiness.

It was a classic case of her heart betraying her mind!

All her rationality, pride, and calmness were just illusions!!

So, Lin Mengting could only pout and unwillingly admit, “Aren’t you afraid your grandpa and the others will think you’re kidnapping a ‘minor’?”

Although she was already nineteen, she had not yet turned eighteen when she first met Sun Weiqi! Strictly speaking, when Sun Weiqi first developed feelings for her, he was technically “kidnapping a minor”!

…

Sun Weiqi “…”

A minor? A minor!

Now that Lin Mengting mentioned it, Sun Weiqi suddenly realized there was quite an age gap between them!

Of course, the most important thing was that the “golden boy,” who had always been admired by everyone, had crazily extended his claws towards a “minor”!

This would surely spread throughout their circle in no time.

But so what?

Sun Weiqi responded openly, “It only shows that you’re so exceptional that I couldn’t help but want to take you home and keep you under my wing.”

“You think you’re a mother hen?” Lin Mengting pouted, but there was an unnoticed hint of expectation and hope in her eyes.

Which girl in this world could refuse a genuine, passionate love that made her feel warmth from the depths of her heart?

Moreover, strictly speaking, Lin Mengting had been “lonely and cold” for two lifetimes.

“Mother hen?!” Sun Weiqi shivered at the thought of a hen with chicks and quickly changed the subject, “Do you know how long my parents knew each other before they got married?”

Lin Mengting blinked, then quickly understood what Sun Weiqi was implying. She defended herself, “Their era is different from ours.”

Sun Weiqi shook his head in disagreement, “Even if it’s different, my parents talked about marriage after meeting only once. Compared to us, we’ve met many times and have been in a relationship for a year. Don’t you think it’s enough? According to you, how many years should we wait before getting married?”

“Four or five years at least!”

This way, they could get through the “three-year itch.”

As for the “seven-year itch,” it wasn’t something Lin Mengting considered yet.

“If during these years, you… haha…” At this point, Lin Mengting stopped and gave Sun Weiqi a meaningful smile.

“Those things you imagine will never happen!” Sun Weiqi declared firmly, loving Lin Mengting’s “arrogant” attitude, which she only showed in front of him.

In simple terms, this was typical “pampering,” spoiling her so much that she would never leave him!

This was Sun Weiqi’s secret, “dark” thought!

“The marriage law states that men can marry at 22 and women at 20.” Sun Weiqi slowly said, then suddenly looked at Lin Mengting in surprise, “Do you want us to have a secret marriage?”

Before Lin Mengting could respond, Sun Weiqi shook his head vigorously, “No! No!! No!!! That’s absolutely impossible!!!!”

What a joke?

A capable man like him having a secret marriage?

Was he not afraid of the strange rumors spreading, or the increasing number of “love rivals” attracted by Lin Mengting’s growing excellence and radiance?!

“You’re overthinking it!” Lin Mengting rolled her eyes at Sun Weiqi’s obsession with marriage.

“I really think it’s too soon. After all, we haven’t known each other for very long and don’t understand each other’s personalities deeply. I don’t want you to regret marrying me after we enter the marriage.”

Sun Weiqi, feeling more and more uneasy, looked at Lin Mengting seriously, “Tingting, how can you think that?”

Such lack of confidence, how could it be Lin Mengting?!

“To be honest, I’m afraid you’ll find me boring in the future and regret marrying me.”

Pausing, Sun Weiqi added boldly, “But even if you regret it, I won’t let you go. In this lifetime, you can only belong to me!”

“Wait…”

This time, it was Lin Mengting’s turn to be dumbfounded. She never expected Sun Weiqi to say something like this!

It seemed like their initial conversation was only about “health.” How did it suddenly shift to meeting the parents and then to discussing married life?!

As if sensing Lin Mengting’s confusion, Sun Weiqi slowly explained, “My father is the eldest in the family, with several younger brothers in different cities. We only get to see each other during the New Year. Now, our family lives with Grandpa. He’s retired and enjoys a peaceful life at home. He’s a very open-minded elder. My father is a soldier, stationed in the capital, but he is very busy and rarely comes home. He seems strict but is a kind-hearted person. My mother is a military doctor. Although she has regular weekends off, she often stays with the troops because she entrusted me to Grandpa’s care when I was young. In fact, I believe my mom prefers being closer to my father rather than staying at home to watch over a mischievous child like me. Their relationship, rather than being a sense of duty unique to that era, has slowly transformed into family affection. It’s a bond that has merged into their very being, impossible to sever.”
