Chapter 2276 The Purpose of Getting Married

2276  The Purpose of Getting Married

"I'm sorry. This is really too sudden for me to react. Please give me some time," Tang Hui said earnestly.

"Don't… don't you want to marry me? I thought we are dating with the intention to get married? Believe me, I'll make you happy! I want to settle down and spend the rest of my life with you! From now on, there's no one else I want other than you!" Xia Guang said anxiously.

Tang Hui looked at Xia Guang and did not say anything. So what if he wanted to settle down?

It was not as if Xia Guang had the final say in the Xia family. If the two of them wanted to have a smooth life, it would still depend on what Xia Wen and Qiao Mei thought. Xia Wen was in charge of all the matters outside the house and Qiao Mei was in charge of most of the matters at home. If Tang Hui wanted to marry Xia Guang, she would still have to ask Qiao Mei for her opinion.

Tang Hui held Xia Guang's hand and comforted him. "Of course I want to marry you, but it's a little hard for me to accept it when you say such things to me out of the blue. Moreover, the high school third-year class I teach will be taking the college entrance examination this year. It'll be a huge blow to the students to have a change in teacher at this time. I will discuss our marriage after they graduate."

These were excuses that Tang Hui could think of for now. After all, Xia Guang did not explain to her why he suddenly wanted to get married or why he needed to leave the capital.

Xia Guang continued to make many promises to Tang Hui. Those oaths did not mean much to her. She felt that they were as fragile as pieces of paper.

The next day, Tang Hui asked Qiao Mei out for a chat and Qiao Mei readily agreed. She already guessed that Tang Hui would come and find her.

"Long time no see," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a few months." Tang Hui forced out a smile.

"Don't smile if you don't want to. I know you're in a difficult position now," Qiao Mei said.

"Sigh… What exactly happened? Why did he suddenly propose to me?" Tang Hui asked, feeling frustrated.

Qiao Mei was slightly stunned and she quickly asked, "Didn't my third uncle tell you the reason?"

"That's right. He kept promising me that he would treat me well and that he would leave the capital with me. He didn't tell me anything else, so I naturally didn't agree," Tang Hui said.

Qiao Mei told Tang Hui the whole story. After that, Tang Hui looked at Qiao Mei in surprise. She could not imagine that such a thing had happened. It was no wonder that Xia Guang was in a hurry to leave the capital with her.

He was heading to the highlands! With the kind of sun exposure there, she would definitely get sunburned! Moreover, altitude sickness was something serious and she did not know if she could even get used to life there.

"It's understandable for you to reject my third uncle. You shouldn't play around with your own life," Qiao Mei said seriously.

"I certainly don't expect you to consider things from my perspective. I thought that you would be your third uncle's lobbyist," Tang Hui said with a smile.

"I'm also a woman. I know what my third uncle can give you. You're a good catch. If you marry my third uncle, I'd say he's marrying someone out of his league. I'm a person who always speaks my mind," Qiao Mei said.

"I'll marry him. Your family can go and start getting things ready," Tang Hui said gently.

Qiao Mei looked at Tang Hui in surprise and asked in confusion, "You… are really willing to do it?"

"Of course not," Tang Hui replied.

"Then I don't understand why you'll marry my third uncle," Qiao Mei said.

"You should know why I want to do it." Tang Hui stared at Qiao Mei directly. Qiao Mei immediately understood what Tang Hui meant. She did not expect that such a person would join the family. It was a pleasant surprise for her!

Tang Hui was already in her 40s. At her age, was she still looking for love? Most men in their 40s were getting married for the second time. Rather than marry someone with a lousy background, it was still better to marry someone with a strong family background like Xia Guang.

During this period of time, she had also figured out Qiao Mei's temperament. As long as she treated Qiao Mei sincerely and did not do anything to betray Qiao Mei, then Qiao Mei would treat her well.

Qiao Mei had a very high status in the education field. If she could become related to Qiao Mei, she would also have some say in the capital's education field. Only a fool would not accept such an advantage. Moreover, Xia Guang was truly good to her, so a person like that could not be too bad.

"By the way, the wedding ceremony will have to be held at your house. I'll get my family members to send all the necessary things over after we buy them. When you reach home, call my house and let my helpers have the exact address," Qiao Mei said.

"Can't I just give it to you now?" Tang Hui said.

"There are other people in charge of these things. I am busy with your wedding banquet," Qiao Mei said, purposely looking troubled.

"Alright, I'll see you then," Tang Hui said.

"How strange. The next time we meet, I'll have to address you as Third Aunt-in-law," Qiao Mei said.

That night, Tang Hui gave Feng Hua her address and people came to start cleaning up the house the next day. Tang Hui also told Xia Guang that she would accept his proposal.
