Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Pei Qin, I Will Marry You (8)_1

Even after he had earned money for them, once he refused to marry Pei Qin, Pei Qian’s attitude toward him changed instantaneously. It was as if they owed him a great favor just for eating a meal at their home. She didn’t want to let him eat. As for helping them earn money, that was because their eldest sister had previously earned even more for him, and their family had only gotten a tiny bit of it!

Pei Qin and Pei Yuan were cooking when Shen Songming motioned for Pei Qian to come over, wanting to ask her something.

Pei Qian snorted and pretended not to hear, heading to the kitchen to help out instead.

With three people working together, the meal was prepared quickly: bamboo tube rice, stir-fried sweet potato leaves with meat, spicy braised tofu skin, and a simple stir-fried choy sum.

Shen Songming washed his hands and sat down at the dining table without any hesitation, picking up a bowl and a pair of chopsticks to start eating.

Pei Qian, feeling resentful, stole some meat from under his chopsticks several times.

Pei Wendong saw this and picked out two slices for her.

"Eat your own food; don’t worry about me!" Pei Qian said to him.

Pei Wendong then looked at Pei Qin and then at Pei Yuan, the third sister and Brother Songming. Were they holding a grudge or had they quarreled!?

Chang Yonglin bit his chopstick, also puzzling over it. Shen Songming seemed like a God of Wealth, and Sister Pei Qian had always been very kind to him, calling him "Brother Songming" endearingly. What happened today? Did he steal her money!?

Shen Songming also couldn’t help but sigh. Pei Qian really... flipped faces faster than flipping a book! Whoever offended her... would indeed have no good days ahead!

After the meal, Pei Yuan cleared the table and went to wash the pots.

Pei Qian began to hurry Shen Songming away, "Why are you still lingering at our house? Don’t you know the rumors outside have already damaged our eldest sister’s reputation? Now all of us siblings will suffer because of it!"

Shen Songming’s handsome face darkened further, but he ignored her and called Pei Qin over, "Come here! I have something to say to you!"

"What is it?" Pei Qin was about to go out for a stroll and check if there was anything to do at the workshop with Mo Heng.

Seeing she once again wanted to go out, and recalling the riddle-like conversation she had with Mo Heng that morning, he grabbed her and pulled her into the room.

"What is it that you have to say!? Can’t you talk while walking!? Sitting down right after a full meal can cause indigestion!" Pei Qin grumbled while being dragged along.

In the room, Shen Songming turned around, looking as though he was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, "Pei Qin! I will marry you!"

Pei Qin just looked at him, showing no reaction.

Shen Songming thought she hadn’t heard clearly, so he repeated himself.

Pei Qin thought he had gone mad, "Go home and take your medicine if you’re sick!"

Seeing her dismissive eye roll, Shen Songming, now furious, reiterated, "I said, I will marry you! I’m not joking or having a brain aneurysm!"

"So you’re asking to be beaten until your teeth fall out!?" Pei Qin bared her teeth in warning.

Shen Songming was running short of breath, but since he had spoken, he clenched his teeth and said, "Even if you beat me, my words still stand, I will marry you! But when you hit me, could you please not aim for my teeth or my face? Anywhere else is fine!"

Pei Qin ignored him. Although she was a bit sleepy, she still felt the need to walk around due to overeating, so she headed out for a stroll.

Shen Songming held onto her, "Pei Qin, can’t you understand human speech!? I’ve said it, I’ll marry you, and I’m not messing around! I really do want to marry you!"

"Really want to marry me?" Pei Qin arched an eyebrow.

Shen Songming nodded, "You know me, I guarantee that once I marry you, it will be monogamy. I may not have been as good as you in a past life, but at least I have some clout now, enough to provide a living. Earning silver and letting you spend it won’t be a problem! I won’t adopt those chauvinistic attitudes, restricting your freedom; you’re free to do whatever you wish! We also won’t have to live with the in-laws, which means less trouble! I will take care of those Little Radishes together with you! Let’s get engaged first; if you don’t want to get married right now, we can wait another two years!"

"Are you fucking serious?" Pei Qin looked into his eyes and asked.

"Of course I am! I mean what I say!" Shen Songming replied to her.

Pei Qin threw a punch at his face and followed it with a kick, "I treated you like a bro, and you fucking want to hit on me!?"
