The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 133 - 107: With an Agenda

"You’re lying."

Facing Zhao Minghua’s confession, Chun Nuan gave a faint smile: "You don’t really have feelings for me."

Zhao Minghua... How should I explain this so you’ll believe me?

Were all those nights climbing over the wall in vain?

"So tell me, what do you like about me?"

This left Zhao Minghua at a loss.

Qingsheng rolled his eyes nearby and looked up at the sky.

Sometimes the young master is really quite dense. He may be eloquent outside, but when it comes to family or important people, he can’t manage a single word.

"Come on, tell me, what do you like about me?" Chun Nuan laughed: "Is it my looks, my talents, my personality, my kindness, or my character?"

Zhao Minghua was even more dumbfounded by her question!

If Chun Nuan asked this to my second brother, maybe he could respond.

The little knowledge I have is really inadequate in this situation.

"Zhao, the third son, in your eyes, can you not even mention a single merit of mine?"

"Merits, of course, you have lots of them." When it came to merits, Zhao Minghua was more confident: "You are very smart, very talented, very courageous..."

"And what about my looks?"

Chun Nuan couldn’t help but laugh again.

Is he really fond of me? He probably hasn’t even figured out what kind of feelings he has for me. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A woman, especially a woman of this era, shouldn’t she consider looks first when talking about marriage?

Chun Nuan was quite confident in her own appearance, yet Zhao Minghua hadn’t mentioned it at all, so how dare he call those other merits affection?

"You..." Zhao Minghua had truly never seen a girl so direct in asking about appearances.

He quickly glanced up at Chun Nuan, his heart racing, and his face flushed red to the ears.

"Speak truthfully?" Zhao Minghua asked.

"Haha, I’m not inviting you here to tell me lies." Chun Nuan said: "After all, we’re quite familiar with each other now, wouldn’t lying be a disservice to the friendship we’ve built up over this time?"

"True, in that case, I’ll be honest." With someone he’s familiar with, Zhao Minghua felt much less burdened: "Actually... I’ve always been afraid to look at your appearance."

Chun Nuan... well, Zhao Minghua indeed doesn’t dare to look at a young woman.

"I always felt that looking without permission was wrong, and what’s it supposed to mean when a young man stares at a young woman?" Zhao Minghua said, especially gentleman-like: "But just now, with that one glance, I thought... you’re very beautiful, I even feel like I don’t deserve you."

With someone you know well, it’s best to be straightforward, say what you mean.

"Haha, that’s the truth." Chun Nuan said: "Are you still seeking marriage?"

"Of course, only a fool wouldn’t seek marriage." Zhao Minghua thought he was being truthful, Chun Nuan indeed had the courage, which girl from a decent family would dare ask a guy: Are you seeking marriage? But she dared!

"Then what qualities do you possess to seek marriage?" Chun Nuan wasn’t being coy: "The merits you mentioned, I feel I have them too, and I believe I’m more than enough for you, so if you want to marry me, you must show me what’s outstanding about you. After all, marriage is a lifelong matter, I don’t want to settle."

At the moment, in Chun Nuan’s eyes, Zhao Minghua can only be described as annoying, and to talk of marriage is indeed a bit forced.

The marriages between prestigious families in the Capital must consider some related interests.

The Xiao family’s marriage for the daughter isn’t so snobbish, after all, it still pays attention to being well-matched in social status, they won’t marry up or down the social ladder.

Currently, she’s in Shu City, with no status or position, and the Xiao family has no foundation, if she marries into the Zhao family, the world will surely think she’s taking advantage.

But Chun Nuan is different, the advantage she’s taking must be clear and evident. There has to be something worth gaining to consider marriage.

Especially in these times for the Xiao family, they either need money, so much that it could help them become wealthy from now on; this, the Zhao family can’t achieve.

Or, they seek power, to have the rights to bring her father and them back from the Northern Desert as soon as possible.

Of course, given the current state of the Xiao family, marrying into such a family is very difficult, after all, being a family bearing a criminal charge, others will calculate and avoid them, steering clear of the Xiao family.

The Zhaang family’s withdrawal from the engagement is the best proof.

Or, seek after character and looks, so good that one is enchanted at first sight.

As it stands, Zhao Minghua does not fit any of these criteria.

So why should I choose him?

Chun Nuan asked Zhao Minghua, but wasn’t she also asking herself for an answer?

Is it really necessary to marry just because one has reached a certain age?

"I currently don’t have much to offer." Zhao Minghua was nervous, even starting to stutter.
