I hugged him sympathetically, gently patting his back. “Bao Xi, don’t cry. Sorry, I’m not Luo Yan…”
Bao Xi held me tightly. “It’s okay. I’ve grown up. I know Luo Yan has truly left this world. No matter how I wait, she won’t come back. So, I must live well and be happy, or Luo Yan would worry.”
Such a sensible child. But then he suddenly blurted out a sentence that almost made me spit blood: “So, Xiao Han, will you be my wife?”
“I’ll treat you like I treated Luo Yan!” I twitched my mouth. “You’re clearly treating me as a replacement!”
Bao Xi pouted, his tearful eyes making him look more pitiful. “OkayXiao Han~” I was stunned. He’s making this difficult! Nicely put, it’s a sibling romance; harshly put, it’s an old cow eating tender grass! I’m not old, just two years older, but marrying him is out of the question with Shu Yang, Shang, and Mo involved.
If he queues up as one of my four husbands, I might reluctantly agree. But marry only him? “No! I have a lover.”
I must admit, Bao Xi is truly persistent. “Then I’ll marry your lover together with you!” He even applauded himself. I’m speechless! With this level of intelligence, can he really be a national ruler? “Bao Xi, this isn’t possible. Men can’t marry men, and that man has a very high official position!”
I’ve tried to lower my tone; I’ve never been this nice to a junior! But he’s not getting it! “Why can’t we marry? Is his official position bigger than mine?”
Seeing his curious expression, I wanted to bang my head against a wall! “We just can’t marry! People will scold you! And that person’s official position is the same as yours!” Bao Xi shook his head. “I don’t believe it. He wants to marry you! Wuwu…”
But I don’t want to marry only you… Why should I abandon my perfect harem for you?
Ah, I have an idea to buy some time, “Well, marrying you isn’t impossible, but I don’t want to marry now. Can we just get engaged first?”
Children’s thoughts are so simple! Look how Bao Xi immediately agreed, nodding like he’d been electrocuted, “Okay!”
