I must have been driven mad by his actions, otherwise, how could I forget he was only eight years old?
“Let go!” He said sternly, frowning.
Never in my life had someone done something so outrageous to me. I was unwilling to give up easily and glared back: “Apologize!”
“Let go!” He placed a hand on my hand, applying slight pressure, feigning threat.
“No, no, apologize quickly!” I shook my head like a rattle drum, not intimidated by the pressure on my hand.
“Damn woman, let go, do you hear me!” He was serious now, trying to pry my hand open. In a moment of urgency, I bit his hand. He groaned, pulling back, leaving a row of deep teeth marks with slight blood seeping out.
“Sorry… sorry!” I hadn’t expected to be so fierce with a child.
Feeling like a child who had done something wrong, I lowered my head in shame…
He stood there, seemingly stunned, staring at the teeth marks on his hand for a long time. Then he looked up seriously and said, “I don’t want an apology!”
“Then what do you want?”
“My mother said if a girl bites me, I must marry her no matter what.”
Hearing this, my face turned half-black. I asked with a glimmer of hope: “Um, I think you might have misunderstood. Your mother must have meant you should never marry a girl who leaves a mark on you!”
Xi Lin Yan shook his head: “I would never misremember my mother’s words. Mother said father was accidentally shot back by her during hunting. Her arrow went off course and hit father, and they fell in love because of this coincidence…”
I was dizzy. Looking at the little brat’s serious face, I seriously doubted whether he even understood the meaning of “love at first sight”!
Moreover, I already have a good man waiting for me to wake him up, which leaves no room for me to be emotionally entangled with anyone else.
“Is that really so?” Xi Lin Yan tilted his stunning face, looking at me with uncertainty, yet with a hint of relief, which made me feel quite frustrated.
“That’s good. You’re so rude and clumsy, I don’t want to marry you at all.
I was just wondering if I should go against my mother’s wishes, ha… now it seems unnecessary!
