Chapter 847
IF0119
At night, Li Zhuangsheng gently knocked on Hu Mengke's door.
"Brother-in-law~"
Hu Mengke hugged Li Zhuangsheng tightly around the neck and kissed him on the lips.
"Let's... let's not do this..." Li Zhuangsheng quickly stopped him.
"Brother-in-law, haven't you missed me these past few days?" Hu Mengke asked, feigning a mournful expression.
Li Zhuangsheng smiled wryly: "I miss you, but... your sister will be unhappy, and it's really not good for her... let's wait until we get our marriage certificate before we do that."
Hu Mengke released Li Zhuangsheng and did not do anything forceful again, but simply took his hand and walked into the room.
"How did your talk with your sister go?" Li Zhuangsheng asked in a low voice.
"What do you want to ask?" Hu Mengke asked with a smile. "My sister is very forgiving; she has already forgiven me!"
"Really? That's great..." Li Zhuangsheng was delighted. "Did she say when we're going to get the divorce certificate?"
"Brother-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to get a divorce?" Hu Mengke said with a bitter smile. "If my sister heard this, she would be heartbroken."
"what?"
"You're her husband, you know. If she knew her husband was thinking about divorcing her every day, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"
Li Zhuangsheng scratched his face awkwardly: "Mengke, I was just about to talk to you about this, about your sister..."
Hu Mengke smiled and nodded: "Yes, go ahead."
“Actually, it’s not just about your sister, it’s about us too… I think I need to have a good talk with my parents and Xiuyu.”
"What to talk about?"
"I want to marry you."
Hu Mengke's face froze, as if she had misheard something. Tears streamed down her face almost instantly as she frantically wiped them away, stammering, "You, why are you suddenly saying this..."
“I want to give you a proper status… I know you’re a little scared, and I don’t want you to be scared… Your parents are probably worried about you too… so I don’t want them to always be worried…”
Hu Mengke cried and waved her hands, "No, no, no, I don't want to..."
Li Zhuangsheng quickly wiped away her tears: "Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you..."
"I don't want to!" Hu Mengke cried, trembling as she threw herself into Li Zhuangsheng's arms. "You can't marry me..."
"why?"
"Because I can't have your children, I don't want to be a burden to you... I'm useless, I'm not good enough for you!"
"I think you're great! You're excellent at housework and a fantastic cook! Whether or not you have children isn't that important, are there many people who choose to be childless these days..."
“It’s different, it’s different!” Hu Mengke ignored Li Zhuangsheng’s words and just argued pointlessly.
As her sobs subsided, she finally raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears: "Brother-in-law, I am truly moved by your words. I will never leave you in this lifetime... but you cannot marry me!"
Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head in frustration, then smiled bitterly: "I understand what you want to say. You told me this before... This is the second thing I wanted to tell you. Talk to your parents and let your sister make her own choice. Don't force her. Anyway, we're still family, right?"
"Brother-in-law, are you worried my sister won't agree? Don't worry, she'll agree, she definitely will! She's always had you in her heart..."
“Your sister definitely won’t agree, so don’t drag her into this. I know what she’s thinking.” Li Zhuangsheng’s bitter smile deepened. “I know what you’re worried about. If I marry you, you won’t have to worry anymore… Do you really have to do *that*?” “I want to, but I’m not worthy… I’m sorry, brother-in-law, I can’t have your child… If only we had met sooner, if only you had protected me from the beginning…”
A person's promise is the least valuable thing, even if the other party is Li Zhuangsheng. Besides, Hu Mengke is very clear-headed; Li Zhuangsheng didn't marry her because he loved her.
She was filled with hatred, but could only feel helpless resentment.
……
Li Zhuangsheng left Hu Mengke's bedroom with a sigh, while Li Xiuyu waited for him in the study. She had just finished showering and was lying lazily on the edge of the bed, wearing white pajamas.
"Where did you go just now?" Li Xiuyu asked, playing on her phone without even looking up.
“I went to find Meng Ke; I want to marry her,” Li Zhuangsheng said.
"puff……"
Li Xiuyu suddenly raised his head and saw Li Zhuangsheng's dejected appearance, and he already guessed what had happened.
"What, do you think marrying her will solve all the problems?" Li Xiuyu lowered his eyes and scrolled through his phone again. "You're good at taking action, but you're still naive."
“I think their family might be forcing Hu Mengdie to accept me, or even Hu Mengke… I don’t want that.” Li Zhuangsheng sighed and plopped down in his chair. “I’m thinking, should I go talk to their parents? I’ve been to their house a few times… You should have met them too, right? Their parents don’t listen to them at all.”
Li Xiuyu taunted casually, "Oh, those are twin beauties, the kind that so many men dream of. You must have quite a few of those in your collection!"
Li Zhuangsheng's smile turned ugly: "How can this be allowed? This is going too far!"
"Is it that you don't want to, or that you're afraid to?"
"...don't dare."
"Even if you do take those two sisters as your lovers, what then?"
Anyway, I don't think it's good.
"hypocritical."
"So if I want to rob a bank, then not doing it now would be hypocritical, right?"
"Robbing a bank is a crime, and you don't want to rob a bank."
"I just don't want to make things difficult for Hu Mengdie because of me. You saw it when we went to the Hu family's house for dinner last time, it was chaotic! Can't we all just be peaceful and do what we want to do?"
Li Xiuyu was silent for a moment: "You can't marry Hu Mengke. First of all, I said I don't agree. Secondly, my parents won't agree either. Finally, her parents won't agree either."
Li Zhuangsheng licked his lips: "Actually, I've thought about what you said carefully. The root cause is that Mengke can't have any more children, but I recently looked it up and found out that she can go abroad and have a child of her own. That way, there shouldn't be a problem... I think if I can treat all children equally, Mengke should be able to too! Liu Mei is so good to Xia Yu and Xia Xue!"
"Hehe, you've thought about quite a lot!"
"Do you think I just acted recklessly without thinking?"
So what do you want to do now?
"I want to talk to my parents about letting me marry Mengke."
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible." (End of Chapter)
