Avenge For Love novel Chapter 68

Hu Jiayi stood still, his face void of emotions as he thought about the consequences of the war.

Even if I can't defy fate, I will protect her during dangerous times!

Somewhere else in the capital city, inside the Gu estate, Madam Gu finally managed to convince Tang Yanan into marrying.

At first, he adamantly refused, not wanting to marry someone he barely knew. Of course, she kept pestering him to the point where he began to worry about her health. He didn't want to be the cause of her worries so he relented, so she would stop nagging him day and night.

General Tang had headaches each time she mentioned Wu Xingxie to him, listing her good qualities and how if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have known about her pregnancy.

"Madam, I understand! I'll marry, I'll marry. I don't even care who it is anymore at this rate."

The general proclaimed, face palming.

"Great! I have ways to make the Wu clan agree to this wedding." Being from the Bao clan, Madam Gu shared their hidden dark nature when it came to dealing with enemies. Since Wu Dingxiang was behind her husband's death, she would use any method to humiliate him.

Wu Dingxiang was someone who cared a lot about his reputation. He wouldn't decline the marriage as the marriage between her and General Tang would improve his reputation greatly.

After all, Tang Yanan was the one who saved the day during the drugging.

"I'm going to get married." Wu Xingxie admitted during breakfast. Her statement sounded serious, causing everyone to react differently.

Yuyan spat out her drink, Wu Xuan choked on his rice, Sizheng stared blankly and Wei fell off his chair.

"Eldest Miss is joking right?" Yuyan asked nervously. She didn't want to believe her.

"No, it's true. Today, Madam Gu will visit the manor and ask for my hand for General Tang."

Wu Xingxie stated calmly, passing a wiping cloth to her brother. She then glanced at the man who actually fell off his chair, wanting

to laugh but she held it in.

"Are you alright?" She reached her arm out and the male grabbed it, getting up on his feet. He returned to his seat, brushing any dust

on his clothes.

"I'm fine. What's more important is what you just said. Is it true?" Wei inquired as he felt his heart ache. This feeling he had never experienced until now was driving him mad, to the point where he wanted to ask her who she was marrying and for what reason.

Do you love him?

Are you being forced by someone?

Will you be happy with him?

By chance, it was almost as if she read his mind when she spoke again.

"I'm marrying willingly. Since both sides have agreed, I don't see anything wrong with it."

To Wu Xingxie, her decision seemed fitting, but to the others around her, it was more than absurd.

"Jie, if you marry, you're going to have to move out. Are you leaving us behind?" Wu Xuan began to pout. The thought of her marrying someone random person was not appealing to him at all.

"What about Wei ge? He's a better man than whoever you're going to marry anyways."

He commented without thinking.

She didn't say it out loud for the girl had to learn it on her own.

"Since you say that, then can you tell him about the marriage?" Xi Zhuhong asked, but she was actually telling Wu Xingxie, do you have the confidence to let him know?

Wu Xingxie understood this easily, which is why she was telling the others the next morning.

However, why couldn't she look Wei in the eyes? If it was Wu Xuan, Yuyan or Sizheng, she could look at their eyes perfectly. Yet here she was, struggling to look at him.

Wei on the other hand took note of her constant avoidance. Even though she tried to play it off, he could see the nervousness in her eyes.

She's avoiding my eyes...

Wei thought to himself but was more concerned about her decision to marry.

"Eldest Miss, please rethink this! You're too young for him. He's 23, that's an old man!"

"Exactly. Jie, this is a loveless marriage. I don't want you to be neglected."

Sizheng nodded vigorously, agreeing to Yuyan and Wu Xuan's persuasions.

"It benefits both sides."

"Wei ge! Please convine her!" Wu Xuan begged when Wu Xingxie said that. He couldn't believe she would do this.

Guess there's no choice. I have to use "that".

"Jie, if you marry that general or whoever, I won't eat anything! I'll move out and let the others bully me again!"
