Marry First, Love Next – Falling in Love With You

Chapter 2 – Marry, get married?

The scene froze for a moment, Su Hanyu said, “We went to the same high school with the senior. Since the senior is a popular figure, Yao Yao and I both know you.”

Miao Xingyao nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice and gave Su Hanyu a wink, too grateful.

Su Hanyu winked back, a little bit of fun.

“I want to talk to you.” Yu Jingxuan didn’t even listen to Su Hanyu’s explanation as he kept looking at Miao Xingyao.

“I…I…am still working.” Miao Xingyao had no choice but to make excuses.

Unexpectedly Su Hanyu said, “It’s almost noon now. It’s already free, you can rest for a while.”

Well, Miao Xingyao was defeated, she actually thought that Su Hanyu would help her. She was just a typical character who didn’t mind watching the fun.

At table fifteen, Miao Xingyao sat opposite Yu Jingxuan. Yu Jingxuan didn’t say a word, and Miao Xingyao didn’t dare to look at Yu Jingxuan, she just looked down and drank her milk tea.

In fact, Miao Xingyao doesn’t know why, she obviously longed for Yu Jingxuan, but every time she saw him she would be nervous and would want to avoid him.

“What’s your name?” Yu Jingxuan suddenly asked, interrupting Miao Xing Yao’s thoughts.

“Miao…Miao Xingyao.” Miao Xingyao hurriedly shut up. How did she bite her tongue, shame on her.

She didn’t expect Yu Jingxuan to find it a bit cute, but he didn’t show it and continued, “Are you the schoolmate who broke the water cup and then cried?”

Miao Xingyao looked at Yu Jingxuan and was surprised that he, in fact, remembered. “Yes.” Miao Xingyao said after a while.

“I feel like you’ve changed quite a bit. I didn’t recognise you at first.” Yu Jingxuan said.

Miao Xingyao smiled and said, “Really.” She knew that the senior only remembered this insignificant little thing, in fact it was all a polite thing to say that he didn’t even recognize her.

“I take the liberty to ask a question.” Yu Jingxuan paused for a moment before saying, “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Huh?” Miao Xingyao made a strange sound in too much surprise and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment upon noticing, whispering, “No.”

“Then are you married?” Yu Jingxuan continued to ask.

Miao Xingyao shook her head and said, “No.”

“Then you and I will get married.” Yu Jingxuan said calmly and freely.

“Marry, get married?” Miao Xingyao stood up.

Yu Jingxuan looked at Miao Xingyao with a blank face and said, “Yes, get married.”

Only then did Miao Xingyao realise that she had overreacted and slowly sat down, asking, “Why? Isn’t Senior on a blind date today?”

“You also know I’m on a blind date?” Yu Jingxuan chuckled lightly.

“I…didn’t eavesdrop on you guys. I just inferred…inferred it.” Miao Xingyao was afraid that Yu Jingxuan would misunderstand and hurriedly explained.

“I am indeed on a blind date. That’s why I’m in a hurry to get married.” Yu Jingxuan said to Miao Xingyao, “My mother keeps arranging blind dates for me, which I hate. My grandfather also wants me to get married soon, so he keeps pushing me too. But the girls on those blind dates aren’t suitable for me.”

“But I’m not necessarily suitable for you either.” Miao Xingyao said in a small voice.

Yu Jingxuan shook his head and said, “You’re more suitable than those people. Besides, I have my own things to do, and I don’t really want to waste too much time on a blind date.”

“So you want to marry me to escape your family’s pressure to marry and to save time?” Miao Xingyao asked.

“Yes.” Yu Jingxuan added after a moment’s thought, “But not exactly, I think we would be better suited.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of getting married.” Miao Xingyao refused. Although she was eager to realise the ambition she had set, she was not eager enough to flash marriage to a person. Even if that person was the senior.

Yu Jingxuan asked calmly, “Why?”

“The person I want to marry may not be the right person, but it has to be someone I like.” Miao Xingyao replied, there was indescribable loneliness in just a few words.

“Maybe we can get along first. If it doesn’t work out, then we can get a divorce. If you want to pursue your love. I won’t tangle with you.” Yu Jingxuan pondered for a moment and said.

Miao Xingyao looked at Yu Jingxuan and asked, “Actually, you just want a marriage certificate, right?”

“Yes.” Yu Jing Xuan nodded his head.

“Then there is no problem if that person is not me, right?” Miao Xingyao grinned.

After a long time, Yu Jingxuan opened his mouth and said, “Yes.”

“I think I know why that lady spilled coffee on you just now.” Miao Xingyao looked out of the window. The people coming and going outside the glass seemed to be in a hurry, and there was no one who had anything to do with her.

“I know my request was excessive. But I really want to marry Miss Miao, and I will never mess around afterwards. If Miss Miao doesn’t want to, we can also live separately, and it’s fine not to tell anyone other than my family.” Yu Jingxuan said with sincerity, “When we get married, I will pay for the living expenses as well. I have a house and a car. I can also buy Miss Miao a car, and even if we divorce, I will still pay the alimony.”

“It’s not like I have a driving license.” Miao Xingyao muttered, then looked at Yu Jingxuan and said, “Is Senior waiting for Sister Ning?”

Yu Jingxuan paused. Ning Ruoxin, the two of them were known as the golden couple in high school, so it was not surprising that Miao Xingyao would know.

“Marrying me is about more than just dealing with your family, right, senior?” Miao Xingyao didn’t know why her heart ached a little, “Senior is faking the marriage just to wait for Sister Ning, right?” After all, they were so good at the time, after the breakup Yu Jingxuan was depressed for a while. Miao Xingyao was also very worried at the time, after all, he had to take the college entrance exams. However, in the end, it was probably as if Yu Jingxuan had gone crazy and studied to get the highest score in the city.

“No.” Yu Jingxuan said coldly, “I have already broken up with Ruoxin. A complete and utter break.”

Well, it was very much like emphasizing oneself, Miao Xingyao thought.

“And I have no intention whatsoever of failing Miss Miao.” Yu Jing Xuan said, “I wouldn’t do anything that Miss Miao didn’t want. I never wanted to fake a marriage either, it would be too damaging to Miss Miao if that was all.”

Miao Xing Yao joked, “Senior isn’t afraid that I’m a bad woman?”

“Miss Miao is not that kind of person. I knew it when I first met you in high school.” Yu Jingxuan laughed.

“We only saw each other once in high school, didn’t we, Senior.” Miao Xingyao smiled, of course it was more than once. But every time Yu Jingxuan’s eyes were on Ning Ruoxin, they only really looked at each other face to face once.

Yu Jingxuan said, “If it was just once it wouldn’t have made such an impression on me.” He knew that someone had once written to encourage him when he was depressed. This person was probably Miao Xingyao, whom he had once seen sneaking out of their classroom and recognized as the girl from a year ago.
“If you can’t make a decision yet I can wait for your reply.” Yu Jingxuan said again.

“No need, I agree with you.”
