Chapter 1943: Chapter 1945: Little One

Yang Qiu’s words sounded like a gentle breeze, but in her eyes, Wang Kui read a hint of sadness.

She was sad, very sad. As a child, she was always like this. Wang Kui’s heart suddenly ached, and he called out the long-forgotten name, "Little Dot."

As these three words were spoken, Yang Qiu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Wang Kui and asked excitedly, "Brother Wang, what did you just call me?"

At that moment, Yang Qiu’s heart was pounding. It had been so long since she had heard those three words. How many years had it been?

This nickname was only used by the person from her childhood.

But she had asked him before, and he had said he wasn’t. So what was his explanation now?

Seeing Yang Qiu’s excitement, Wang Kui thought to himself that this wasn’t good, and hurriedly said, "I didn’t say anything."

But Yang Qiu was convinced that Wang Kui in front of her was the same Wang Kui she knew as a child. She stepped forward, grabbed Wang Kui by his arms, her eyes almost misted over, and spoke excitedly, "You clearly called me Little Dot just now, didn’t you? You are indeed the Wang Kui I knew, aren’t you?"

No matter how Yang Qiu shook Wang Kui’s arms, he remained silent.

Because at that moment, he didn’t know whether he should speak. He was very conflicted. If he admitted it, would Yang Qiu think of the events he knew from her childhood? Would there be a knot in her heart? Although he didn’t mind, he feared Yang Qiu might.

If Yang Qiu married someone who only heard about her experiences but hadn’t seen them, perhaps it would be easier for her to face a new life than if she married someone who witnessed her experiences.

After thinking it over, he decided he should keep it hidden.

So he said, "Yang Qiu, calm down, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m really not the Wang Kui you know. I just saw your expression and thought you looked quite small, which made me unintentionally call you Little Dot. I didn’t know it was your name."

Such words rendered Yang Qiu speechless, as she let go of Wang Kui’s arms and said somewhat lost, "I see, sorry, I made a mistake."

Yang Qiu’s words allowed Wang Kui to breathe a sigh of relief; she wouldn’t dwell on this matter anymore. Remembering Yang Qiu’s previous question, Wang Kui answered, "Yang Qiu, my desire to marry you isn’t on a whim, it’s well-considered. I know your experiences and don’t care that you’re not pure. As for children, I’d never considered having my own. Even if we don’t have children in the future, it’s fine, just the two of us would be good."

These are such affectionate words. Wang Kui, a rough man from Jianghu, didn’t know how he could say such things. But at that moment, Yang Qiu heard none of it, because she was certain the Wang Kui in front of her was the one she knew as a child. She couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t admit it.

Pulling out a bitter smile, she said, "Brother Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot agree to this marriage proposal. Let’s consider this matter not brought up. I’ll explain to my parents tomorrow."

As she finished her words, Yang Qiu deeply bowed to Wang Kui.

Then headed towards the door.

Watching Yang Qiu’s lonely back, Wang Kui felt her words were sincere.

He had been rejected.

Had he made a mistake? Shouldn’t he have hidden it?

Thinking this, Wang Kui quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yang Qiu, and hurriedly said, "I admit it. I am the Wang Kui you know."
