Chapter 165: Just accept your fate?
"Hmm?" Li Ruoling frowned slightly.
Strange, why would he care about this?
"Why are you so curious about my fiancé?" Li Ruoling asked blankly.
Could it be that he really likes me?
Haha, how is this possible.
A gifted child like him must be surrounded by many beautiful women, right?
Take his senior sister for example. Not to mention her cultivation, she is no worse than me in temperament, appearance and figure. If we take her cultivation into account, she is miles ahead of me. How could he possibly take me seriously?
"It's not that I'm curious. I'm just asking casually. If you don't feel comfortable telling me, forget it!" Ye Fei said.
"Actually, there's nothing inconvenient to say. If you want to hear it, I can tell you everything." Li Ruoling looked up at the blue sky outside the cave, and a series of beautiful memories from the past instantly flooded into her mind:
"My fiancé... before he was twelve or thirteen, he was really good. Apart from his poor health and inability to practice, I think he is very good in all aspects, especially to me."
"Really?" Ye Fei's heart trembled. Could it be that she doesn't dislike my appearance at all?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei hurriedly asked tentatively: "Is there anything wrong with his appearance? Very handsome?"
"He's not handsome at all!" Li Ruoling smiled. "On the contrary, he started to get pockmarks on his face when he was a few years old, and now he has pockmarks all over his face."
"Ah? A face full of pockmarks, don't you dislike him?" Ye Fei pretended to be surprised.
"They are just some pockmarks. As long as we can find a beauty pill for him to eat, the pockmarks should be able to disappear." Li Ruoling said, "Besides, when a woman gets married, why should she care too much about appearance? At least, for me, I care more about his heart and whether he treats me well. Good looks can't be eaten."
Damn it...
At this moment, Ye Fei was extremely excited.
Is there a beauty pill that can cure my pockmarked face?
Damn, why didn’t Master and Senior Sister ever tell me about this?
Are you afraid that once the pockmarks on my face are gone and I become too handsome, they will be jealous?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei immediately replied to Li Ruoling: "Yes, your values are quite correct. You should find a husband who treats you well. If you are too handsome, you will easily have affairs outside."
"Of course!" Li Ruoling smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "If you don't mind, I can talk to you about my fiancé!"
"How can you say I dislike him? I'm actually quite curious about him." Ye Fei said, "Go on..."
"In fact, I just realized that if you hadn't asked me that question earlier, I would have almost forgotten about him because of who he was later. To be honest, I really feel sorry for him."
"I feel sorry for him?" Ye Fei frowned slightly: "How did I feel sorry for him? Tell me..."
"My fiancé is Ye Fei, a descendant of the Ye family in Tianluo City. To be honest, he is the only boy I have ever been attracted to since I was a child." When Li Ruoling said this, there was a sweet smile on her face: "When he was a child, he was very well-behaved and obedient, and he was also very cute, white and chubby.
When we were little, we often played together. If other children bullied me, he would always be the first to stand up and protect me.
At that time, I followed him around all day and played with them. I played whatever the boys played.
One time I was playing in the mud with them, and when I came home, my mother couldn’t recognize me because I was covered in mud, hehe…”
When Li Ruoling said this, she suddenly laughed involuntarily.
Then, she propped her chin up with both hands, looked up at the sky again, and murmured to herself, "At that time, he always liked to call me Lingbaobao..."
"Spirit baby?" Ye Fei was stunned.
Damn, was I so close to her before?
So is she going to call me Fei Baobao?
No, Fei baby is too sissy, Fei brother?
Emma, it's so fucking corny...
“Hmm…” Li Ruoling nodded shyly: “In my entire life, he is the only one who calls me that.”
"It seems that you like him very much." Ye Fei asked tentatively.
"To be honest, I did in the past." Li Ruoling nodded confidently, but the next second, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on her face: "However, this kind of love is only limited to before the age of fourteen or fifteen."
"Why?" Ye Fei asked.
"Hehe..." Li Ruoling smiled bitterly and shook her head, thinking secretly:
I don’t know why, but since he was twelve or thirteen years old, he suddenly seemed like a different person. He no longer played with me and always avoided me.
Moreover, he gradually learned bad things from others, started to cheat and deceive people, and got into trouble everywhere. Every time he got into trouble, he would mention my name and said that he was the future son-in-law of the Li family.
Later, when he was older, around 15 or 16 years old, he suddenly became addicted to gambling, all kinds of gambling, and when he got into debt, he would remember my name. I helped him pay off a lot of his gambling debts, ah…
The reason why Li Ruoling only thought about this in her heart and didn't tell Ye Fei was that she was afraid that if she told others, people would think she was deliberately belittling her fiancé.
Some things are enough to be clear in your heart, there is no need to talk about them everywhere.
What's more, she always felt that only she could bully and insult Ye Fei, but she must never let others bully and insult him.
Moreover, no matter how outsiders view him or what they say about him, she herself will never ruin his reputation in front of outsiders.
"Is it inconvenient to say?" Ye Fei frowned slightly.
"What happened later... Haha, there's nothing much to say." Li Ruoling smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Can we change the subject? I suddenly don't want to talk about him anymore!"
"So your fiancé is that good-for-nothing Ye Fei from the Ye family!" Ye Fei deliberately curled his lips: "I've heard of him. I heard that he's a gambler and owes a lot of money. Oh, and I also heard that you've gone to the Ye family to break off the engagement?"
"Haha, the news spreads so quickly. I didn't expect you to know about this." Li Ruoling smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I went to the Ye family to cancel the engagement."
"Why do you want to cancel the engagement?" Ye Fei asked.
"He is so disappointing." Li Ruoling shook her head. "However, my grandfather forced me to break off the engagement. He wanted to marry me to a better family. Haha, how many children of a big family, especially girls, can have freedom of marriage? My grandfather hurriedly took me to the Ye family to break off the engagement a few months ago because he couldn't wait to marry me to a rich and powerful son of a big family..."
"If he really finds such a person and asks you to marry him, will you really marry him?" Ye Fei asked tentatively.
"Hehe..." Li Ruoling smiled bitterly and remained silent for a long time. Only when tears involuntarily wet her eyes did she gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly raised her head to look up at the sky, and said with despair, "What else can I do if I don't get married?"
"Are you just going to accept your fate?" Ye Fei asked.
"This is the fate of girls like us." Li Ruoling said self-deprecatingly: "According to my grandfather, they invested a lot of resources in me from childhood to adulthood, just to let me marry into a good family when I grow up, so that I can repay the family."
"There's something I'm curious about and want to ask you. If you think it's a bit abrupt, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ye Fei said.
"Please feel free to speak!" Li Ruoling said, "You saved my life, and you also gave me a Qilin fruit that changed my talent and physique. No matter what I do, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness in this lifetime. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
"It's not that serious. For me, it's just a piece of cake." Ye Fei said.
"Please speak, benefactor." Li Ruoling looked at Ye Fei.
"I'm wondering, if Ye Fei turns over a new leaf in the future, would you still be willing to marry him?" When Ye Fei said this, he was very excited, because at this moment, he was really looking forward to Li Ruoling's answer.
