Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 14 Asking if you're willing
However, it was clear that An Min didn't want to explain anything to Liang Yi.

After saying that, she quickly left.

A beauty is a beauty; even her walk is incredibly graceful, with a slender and elegant figure.

Liang Yi pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what An Min meant, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

His presence here today will undoubtedly make this little fox laugh at him countless times behind his back.

After the incident, Liang Yi's unease didn't subside; instead, it intensified.

Director Yang acted quickly, and within two days, he introduced another person to Anmin.

This time it was an artillery company commander from the next regiment, who was said to have a forthright personality.

The blind date was to take place in the cafeteria.

The two had only been talking for two minutes when Liang Yi led a squad of soldiers who had just finished training, were covered in sweat, and were yelling that they were going to grab food as they ran past.

Dust flew everywhere, and the noise was deafening. In that scene, it was difficult to even hear each other clearly, let alone talk about love.

The artillery company commander looked at Liang Yi's expressionless face, which seemed to say "get lost," and then at An Min's ambiguous smile. He scratched his head and wisely slipped away.

After two consecutive unexpected incidents, even a fool could see the problem.

So on this day, Director Yang invited Liang Yi to his home.

Xu Qidong happened to be there too. The couple looked at Liang Yi with a hint of mockery, which made Liang Yi feel a chill down his spine.

"Little Liang."

Director Yang sipped his tea slowly, asking a question in a gentle tone with a smile.

“I introduced Anmin to you. She’s a hardworking and reliable girl, with a good appearance and personality. What do you mean by ruining her blind dates time and time again?”

She paused, her smile almost impossible to hide.

Liang Yi stood there, his back ramrod straight, his military uniform impeccable, but his ears began to burn uncontrollably.

In front of Xu Qidong and Director Yang, he acted as if he were facing his strict yet loving parents.

That indomitable spirit that never wavered in the face of gunfire on the battlefield seemed to have diminished considerably at this moment.

But when it came to actually explaining his reasons, Liang Yi couldn't come up with anything.

Even he himself didn't know why he had ruined Anmin's blind date.

"I……"

He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, wanting to say that An Min's personality was unbearable for most people, wanting to say that her eyes were too perceptive...

But when he met Director Yang's eyes, he swallowed the words back down.

Xu Qidong put down his newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Liang Yi, a real man should act with integrity. If you have feelings for a girl, just say so. Don't resort to those underhanded and shady tactics! What kind of behavior is that!"

"Is this how I taught you?"

The words "having ideas" struck Liang Yi's heart like a hammer blow.

He looked up abruptly, meeting Xu Qidong's serious gaze, and then saw the mischievous smile in Director Yang's eyes.

The hardened defenses that had been built up over a long period of time cracked open in front of these two superiors who were like elders to him.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and finally squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"I think I was biased."

Hearing Liang Yi say that, Director Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up: "You really think so?"

Hearing these words from Liang Yi was truly an eye-opener for Director Yang.

"It was my fault, I... want to go on another blind date with Comrade Anmin."

After saying that, Liang Yi felt his face burning, as if he had fought a difficult battle, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Director Yang and Xu Qidong exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.

“Actually, I can understand your concerns. Anmin’s father does business in Haicheng, which sounds a bit daunting.”

"But do you know why the artillery company commander agreed?"

Director Yang put down his teacup and said this with a smile. It's no wonder Liang Yi had reservations; even Director Yang disagreed when Qin Shulan first told him.

At that time, Director Yang even said that Qin Shulan was there to harm her, and asked her to introduce such a person with shady background to Liang Yi.

However, after learning about Anmin's situation, Director Yang realized that the child had truly had a difficult time.

Having such a father means being schemed against by the whole family in your own home.

Even marriage is a bargaining chip.

Now that you've come to the Northwest, isn't it because you want to start over?

Having managed to escape those most chaotic years, what does that little bit of status matter in this remote Northwest?
Director Yang valued An Min because he felt that An Min was sensible, cultured, and that Liang Yi would benefit from following him.

Liang Yi raised his eyes, his gaze somewhat dark: "Why?"

He wanted to know how Director Yang had persuaded others before meeting An Min.

Director Yang reached out and patted Liang Yi on the shoulder: "People say that An Min is different from the capitalist ladies he knows because she was able to donate all her family property and still settle down in the Northwest."

He also said that he would not label people unless he met them in person.

The way he's saying this makes it sound like Liang Yi is someone who randomly labels people.

However, he felt that what the artillery company commander said was not wrong.

He had a preconceived notion that Anmin was a criminal, which is why he thought so much about it.

"And... what about the education officer?"

Liang Yi wanted to hear their opinions on An Min, but to his surprise, his words made Director Yang burst into laughter.

"Liang Yi, Liang Yi, where did all your jealousy go?"

“I invited Officer Li to give An Min ideological education, so that An Min could put aside her thoughts in Haicheng, take root in the Northwest, and contribute to the development of the Northwest.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yi's face turned even redder, but since he had always had dark skin, it was impossible to tell.

Xu Qidong, holding the newspaper, pointed and said, "Stop teasing him. Since he's interested, go ask An Min for her opinion. If she's willing, arrange it again."

Director Yang gave Xu Qidong a slightly coquettish glare: "How could she not want to? Alright, go back and wait for news. I'll take care of this."

After hearing Director Yang's words, Liang Yi nodded and left.

He walked with lighter steps, finally understanding why he had been upset.

It turns out that he had long since lost his prejudice against An Min, and even felt a bit more favorably towards her.

Such a sharp-tongued and unyielding fox is someone Liang Yi needs to tame.

It won’t be easy for anyone to come!

Director Yang acted swiftly, and went to see An Min the very next day.

Anmin was drying clothes outside the cave dwelling when Director Yang explained his purpose. She raised her clear, bright eyes, but her expression remained calm.

"Director Yang, you saw what happened last time. Commander Liang has a deep-seated prejudice against me. Why force it again?"

Besides, Anmin doesn't have that many thoughts right now. She agreed to go on a blind date with Director Yang last time to thank him for his help.

She had already made up her mind not to pin her hopes on marriage.

She can live alone or not. She has her own space and won't starve. At most, there will be some unpleasant gossip.

But how could she, a living, breathing person, be killed by these rumors?

"Oh, my dear girl!"

Director Yang pulled her into the cave dwelling, and after she sat down, he sat down next to her.

She took her hand affectionately, lowering her voice.

"This time it's different. That kid Liang Yi came to me himself and apologized!"

An Min raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised, but still cautious: "Admit your mistake?"
