Chapter 484 Young Master Liu's "Marriage Proposal" at the Vegetable Market

The attendants had no choice but to follow behind Liu Mang and continue walking forward.

As they continued walking, young master Liu Mang subtly inquired about how long Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng had known each other and how they met.

Qian Musheng was taken aback by the question, and Su Xiaoxiao said directly, "We have no relationship whatsoever, we're just friends."

Qian Musheng could tell that Young Master Liu Mang seemed to be very interested in Su Xiaoxiao; the way he looked at her was sometimes quite strange.

Moreover, when Young Master Liu Mang turned to look at him again, there was a clear sense of hostility.

In fact, Qian Musheng had experienced this kind of jealousy quite often before. He could completely understand Liu Mang at this moment, just as he had felt about Pei Yuan back then.

Anyway, he understands that feeling very well.

The three of them arrived at the local market, and as expected, it was crowded because it was market day.

The market was bustling with people, all of whom were simply dressed farmers who weren't particularly fussy about their appearance.

They loudly hawked their wares, and their stalls displayed a variety of vegetables, fish, and fruits, all quite fresh, caught from the mountains or rivers.

Liu Mang was naturally quite uncomfortable in such a bustling, urban place, which was his first time there.

Just as he dodged the vegetable vendor on one side, the fishmonger on the other grabbed a huge fish, splashing Liu Mang with fish scales all over him.

Liu Mang smelled the fishy odor on his body and wrinkled his nose in disgust.

His attendant, also splattered with the fishy smell, covered his nose in disgust and complained, "Young Master, this place is too filthy. Perhaps we should head back!"

Liu Mang knew that the place was too dirty, and people were talking loudly, creating a chaotic atmosphere. But since he was already there, he thought it was a rare opportunity to get to know Su Xiaoxiao.

Young Master Liu Mang gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, "No, I'll have to endure it a little longer!"

He wasn't the type to give up so easily. Now that he was here, he was determined to take this opportunity to make things clear with Su Xiaoxiao.

Just then, Qian Musheng went over there to pick out fish, and Su Xiaoxiao said she wanted to eat boiled fish today.

Seeing that his opportunity had come, young master Liu Mang pulled Su Xiaoxiao to a quiet street corner.

Su Xiaoxiao was still unhappy, "Why are you dragging me here?"

His entourage kept watch for him at the street corner, while young Master Liu Mang, his face flushed, looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Actually, I have something I want to tell you..."

"Alright, then tell me!"

Young Master Liu Mang's face turned bright red, his ears even turning warm. After stammering for a long time, he finally asked, "Su Xiaoxiao, don't you like me?"

"what?"

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Young Master Liu Mang would suddenly bring up such a topic.

Although there was no one else around, Su Xiaoxiao still felt very embarrassed.

"What do you mean by 'I like you' or 'I don't like you'? Don't talk nonsense here!" Su Xiaoxiao blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed by the sudden confession.

It's not that people become conservative because they've lived in ancient times for too long.

Even in my past life, I've never had so many handsome men rush over to express their admiration. It must make me a little embarrassed, right?

Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao lower her head, her face turned slightly red.

Young Master Liu Mang seemed to have grown even bolder. He mustered his courage and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Don't you like me? I've thought it through. I've figured it out over this period of time. I want to marry you."

Su Xiaoxiao stared blankly as Young Master Liu Mang spoke to her so sincerely. She felt a little dazed, as if she had returned to the scene a few months ago when Pei Yuan confessed his feelings to her in the same way.

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao's heart pounded like a drum. She had never imagined that the person she liked also liked her.

But a few months later, she was faced with the advances of a sickly and arrogant man who was even more captivating than Pei Yuan.

Su Xiaoxiao remained unmoved, and even felt a bit resistant.

"Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. Let's stop making a scene."

Young Master Liu Mang immediately raised his head, looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a sincere expression, and shook his head.

"No, these are things I've thought about for many days before deciding on. I'm very sincere, please believe me!"

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something, Young Master Liu Mang interrupted her, grabbed her hand, and confessed his love with a deep expression.

"Actually, from the moment you saved me, I was absolutely certain that you are the woman I've chosen for this lifetime, and that will never change. So, will you marry me?"

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that she would be confessed to like this in ancient times. She felt that the lines seemed somewhat familiar.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say. Whether it was her current identity as the original owner or her past self before she transmigrated, Su Xiaoxiao had never experienced either.

Moreover, people in ancient society were relatively conservative, and this was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had ever experienced someone so boldly expressing their feelings.

Su Xiaoxiao forced herself to calm down, pulled her hand away from Liu Mang's, and explained, "Actually, it was my duty to save you. Besides, I had my own purpose at the time, which was to ask your father, Minister Liu, to help me. You really don't need to keep taking this to heart. Also, I've always considered you my friend, and I have no romantic feelings for you."

"Actually, if it were anyone else, I would have saved him too, you know?"

Although young master Liu Mang felt somewhat disappointed after hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, he still shook his head and said, "No, Su Xiaoxiao, I, Liu Mang, only love you in this life, and I want to marry you."

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless again. Why did Liu Mang seem so naive? No matter what she said, it wouldn't work.

In her anxiety, Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about saving face for Liu Mang and said directly to him, "Let me tell you, I just don't like you. Please don't waste your time on me. I will never accept your marriage proposal in this lifetime."

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao said such harsh words, seemingly leaving Liu Mang no face at all.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect to reject Young Master Liu Mang so firmly.

Before this, she had thought that she would give Young Master Liu Mang some face, since it was the first time he had pursued someone so passionately, and she could understand the feelings of a young man in love to some extent.

What did he feel now? He felt a strong sense of guilt. Looking at the young master in front of him, who looked so disheveled after being rejected, Su Xiaoxiao felt truly guilty.
