Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 584 - Chapter 584 Chapter 584 Im Afraid If I Speak _1

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: I’m Afraid If I Speak _1 Chapter 584: Chapter 584: I’m Afraid If I Speak _1 Nan Fei went down to the check-out desk to call Zhuanzhuan, explaining the situation in hushed tones. Zhuanzhuan remained quiet for a long time on the other end of the line.

“Zhuanzhuan, what’s wrong?”

“Sis!”

“Hmm! I’m listening.”

“Why did you suddenly have this idea? Did Huo Beijiang come back to find you? Even if he did, you shouldn’t marry him.” Zhuanzhuan’s tone was noticeably more excitable than usual.

“I just don’t think he’s right for you, or for our family.”

Nan Fei frowns, “Zhuanzhuan, please respect my choice, okay?”

“Okay!”

Zhuanzhuan could tell from her sister’s tone that she was determined. The shock in her heart was even more profound than what she expressed outwardly. She had felt for a while that her sister had changed but never guessed that she had changed this much, beyond her control.

Regardless, she didn’t want to make her sister upset now.

“Sis, I’ll quietly send you the household registration tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Zhuanzhuan, thank you for supporting me.”

“Sis, you’re too formal!” Zhuanzhuan blurted out pleasantly: “I’m just worried about you. Oh, I haven’t even had the chance to congratulate you on being the top scholar in our province! You have no idea how proud our family is now when walking around Qi Li Town. Dad is happy every day.”

“Hahaha… as long as Mom and Dad are happy, that’s all that matters. I’ll be back in a few days.”

“Great! I’ll let Mom know. Oh right! Where do I find you tomorrow?”

“Leave early tomorrow. Huo Beijiang will arrange for a man called Chen Qi to pick you up from the county bus station.”

“Okay!”

The sisters discussed things that had happened in the village and the progress of their father’s food factory before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

When Nan Fei returned to her room, she found Huo Beijiang had put on his clothes and was sitting by the window. He was facing the door, looking deep in thought. He hadn’t even noticed her coming in.

A thought flashed through Nan Fei’s mind. Perhaps her guess had been correct!

“Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to go back to your own room and sleep?” Nan Fei cast aside her daydreaming and asked casually.

Huo Beijiang looked completely natural. He opened the box of food on the table in front of him and beckoned her to come sit.

“The millet porridge is still hot. You should eat first, then take a bath and sleep.”

Nan Fei sat down across from him. Huo Beijiang put the spoon into her hand. His handsome face was full of radiant joy, contrasting sharply with the cold melancholy Nan Fei saw earlier. It was as if everything just a moment ago had been an illusion.

“Do you have something to tell me?” Nan Fei asked, holding the spoon but not making a move.

“I do have something to say. I was planning to tell you, but now I’m afraid to.” Huo Beijiang gazed at her steadily, a hint of fear in his eyes that he himself had not realized.

But Nan Fei did. His fear struck her like a sharp sword, causing a painful suffocation in her heart.

“I’m afraid if I tell you, you won’t marry me!” He had been thinking for a long time since she went downstairs to make the call. He thought about the Imperial City and his family background, and the more he thought, the less he dared to reveal this to her.

But not to say anything wouldn’t be something that he, Huo Beijiang, would do.

On one hand, he was afraid she would no longer like him if he told her the truth. On the other hand, he worried she would find out in the future anyway if he didn’t tell her now and, at that point, she would like him even less.

“I’m afraid that if I tell you, you won’t like me anymore.”
