Chapter 359: Chapter 359 Pei Qin, I Will Marry You (1)_1

Shen Songming escaped and began to think things over. Yuanyang County was definitely not sufficient. Pei Qin was not meant to stay cooped up in this small town forever—where has an eagle ever just settled on the ground? Even if she was a female eagle.

He was somewhat familiar with Jinan Prefecture; taking Pei Qin to Jinan Prefecture would be problematic, but Capital Jingcheng could work, at least there he could find a few suitable matches. However, for Pei Qin’s worth, they needed to elevate her status first.

After pondering for a while, Shen Songming came back to discuss it with Pei Qin, "I can’t stand the crooked melons and cracked dates in this place. Why don’t we go to Capital Jingcheng instead? We’ll say that you’re a daughter born to my family’s concubines, raised outside the family all this time, and then you’ll be registered under my mother’s name. A concubine’s daughter becoming a legitimate daughter, that way, with the identity of the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, we could at least find someone from a Scholarly Family!" This plan was simply too good! Why hadn’t he thought of it before! He had only been thinking that one day Pei Qin, on a whim, might develop some nuclear weaponry, stunning everyone and becoming invincible, without even considering this. From now on, Pei Qin would become his sister, and then he’d truly be Pei Qin’s brother! This felt pretty great!

Pei Qin looked at him with no expression on her face.

Seeing that she wasn’t about to hit him, Shen Songming chuckled, "I’ve even thought of a name for you! You’d still be called Pei Qin, but we’d change one character and add a surname—so you’ll be called Shen Peiqin! Once you become the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, you won’t have to look for a match in this pathetic little place anymore!"

"You really have gone to great pains!" Pei Qin laughed dryly.

"Yes! Yes! Who else but family, right? Don’t worry about my parents; I’ll take care of everything when I get back. You tidy things up too, and after your mourning period is over, I’ll come back to take you to the Shen family. As for the people at the Shen family, don’t be bothered by them. Tend to the good-looking and pleasant ones, and ignore the ugly, unpleasant ones!" As Shen Songming spoke, he started to laugh.

Pei Qin raised her fist, ready to hit him, "Still dreaming of being this old lady’s brother!"

Shen Songming swiftly dodged, but as he did, the stool he sat on tipped over as well. Without Pei Qin having to strike him, he fell backward with his legs splayed in the air.

As he let out a yelp, Pei Qin stood up, hands on hips and laughed, "The heavens clearly disapprove of you, without me needing to lift a finger!"

With his backside aching, Shen Songming’s complexion shifted from red to white, from green to black, and he pointed at Pei Qin, accusingly, "I’ve been working my heart out for you, and you can’t appreciate a kind soul!"

Pei Qin watched with laughter as he reacted.

Shen Songming felt incredibly aggrieved, "I can’t move, aren’t you going to help me up?"

After laughing enough, Pei Qin reached out to help him up.

Mo Heng stood at the corner of the side room without expression, removing his bamboo hat and stepping forward to look inside. Pei Qin was in the midst of pulling up a smiling Shen Songming, their hands clasped together. She was nothing like what he had imagined; her delicate features were set perfectly on her fair small face. She was neither breathtaking nor classically beautiful, yet she had an imposing presence just as he had imagined. Where others had mere demeanor, she had an unreleased aura and formidable spirit.

Shen Songming was here this time also to check on Mo Heng’s eyes. Several months had passed; by now he should be better, and even if not, he should be able to see figures fuzzily—it was time for him to leave! Seeing him looking at Pei Qin, Shen Songming pulled Pei Qin behind him and strode out, "Mo Jiu! Are your eyes healed!?"

Mo Heng’s eyes were indeed better. He had been able to see blurrily a few days before, and now he could see, as long as he didn’t look at things for too long. Pei Qin hadn’t been to the workshop for some days, so he had come over. Although he hadn’t expected to see her, he did, and yet, he also saw her...

Hearing this, Pei Qin also quickly stepped out, "Really? Can you see now?"

Shen Songming furrowed his brow and regarded Mo Heng with even more caution. His eyes were indeed healed; they were clear now, no longer turbid and fuzzy. This man before them was handsome and exquisite, and now that his eyes had healed. Pei Qin was exceptionally good-looking too, and if he had designs on her, if he used charm and seduction, could Pei Qin resist?
