Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 52 Loss
"No matter who it is, I will not agree!" Li Qingran said firmly.
"Is that so?" A half-smile appeared on Li Riming's face. "What if it's Chen Huo?"
Li Qingran was visibly taken aback: "What does this have to do with Brother Huo?"
"Because we want to propose marriage to you!" Li Riming said. "The person you're interested in is Chen Huo!"
What?
Li Qingran's pupils contracted.
To her utter surprise, the person her parents were urging her to get married this time was actually Huo Ge.
This……
For a moment, Li Qingran's heart pounded, and she was as flustered as a frightened little rabbit.
There was surprise, astonishment, and a touch of delight.
But she still said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! There's nothing between me and Huo-ge, don't try to match us up!"
"Silly girl, do you really think we can't see it?" Li Riming shook his head. "After the Chen family's incident, you stayed by his side for so long, right up until Chen Huo was released from prison. You dare say you didn't like him?"
"Qingran, we're related to the Chen family by marriage, we know each other very well! We did have some prejudice against Chen Huo because he was in prison before, but now it seems that even if Chen Huo is down on his luck, he has the ability to make a comeback!" Hu Lanhua added, "If you truly like him, your parents won't stop you. Letting you continue this relationship isn't a bad thing!"
"No, Mom and Dad, I..." Li Qingran's face was already as red as an apple.
My heart was in turmoil, yet I felt an indescribable joy.
She was slightly dissatisfied that her parents proposed marriage without giving her any prior notice, but more than that, she felt gratified.
If her family could agree to her relationship with Huo Ge, then there would be one less major obstacle.
Over the years, her relationship with her family has become very strained, and she didn't want to be denied blessings even when she got married.
But this matter was indeed a bit rushed.
Li Qingran subconsciously looked at Chen Huo, afraid that he would be unhappy.
Li Riming and Hu Lanhua both saw this.
They didn't know much about the others, but they knew their youngest daughter's thoughts perfectly well.
"Chen Huo, what do you think?" Li Riming asked.
Chen Huo was naturally also taken aback.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
Hu Lanhua laughed and said, "Chen Huo, our two families have been dealing with each other for so long, you could say we've watched you grow up!"
"Now, only you are left in the Chen family, and we only have Qingran as our daughter!"
"A second marriage would strengthen family ties, don't you think?"
"I..." Chen Huo swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and glanced at Li Qingran.
Li Qingran's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart pounded even harder.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I think you two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!" Li Riming assumed the young couple were a little embarrassed in front of so many people. "Why don't we finalize the marriage today and then pick an auspicious day to hold the wedding?"
"Qingran, what do you think?"
"I, I, I..." Li Qingran stammered, wanting to agree immediately.
But out of a girl's modesty, and because Chen Huo had not expressed his opinion, she didn't dare to say anything.
Hu Lanhua urged from the side, "Qingran, just tell us what you're thinking. Don't be so coy! You were just blaming us for not speaking our minds, how come you're like this now?"
"I..." Li Qingran took a deep breath, her small hands hidden under the table clenching tightly.
It's often said that unrequited love is a chaotic battle fought alone.
She has never been one to easily express her emotions; even if her heart is in turmoil, she will resolutely not take the initiative.
For some reason, thinking of Yin Yuhan and Jiang Aiwei at home, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
If we don't seize this opportunity now, someone else might take it away.
By then, it will be too late to regret it!
So, gritting her teeth and mustering her courage, she declared, "I...I have no objection!"
"That's good, that's good..." Li Riming and Hu Lanhua couldn't help but smile broadly.
Li Qingran knew perfectly well that the reason they agreed to the marriage was simply because the company was now growing rapidly and the profits were considerable.
But what can you do when she likes it?
Even if she's being used, she's willing to do it this time.
"Chen Huo, are you alright?" Li Riming asked again.
Chen Huo's throat seemed to be choked, and he answered with extreme difficulty.
In terms of both physical attributes and looks, Li Qingran was impeccable.
He has seen all of his efforts, especially in the past few years.
Li Qingran's willingness to marry him is his good fortune.
But during his five years in prison, so much happened, and the women he encountered were as lush as a backyard garden.
I feel guilty for betraying Li Qingran's deep affection.
Moreover, his inner conflict hasn't been resolved yet, and who knows what will happen in the future.
At the same time, he couldn't be sure that he could definitely give Li Qingran happiness.
"Uncle, Aunt, Qingran..." Chen Huo took a deep breath. "First of all, thank you for your kindness, especially Qingran. You deserve the most outstanding man in the world. As for me, I'm just a worthless person, unworthy of such a wonderful gift! I have no plans to get married!"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table changed their expressions.
The laughter abruptly stopped, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Chen Huo, everyone has their share of messes in life! You were framed when you went to jail, we believe you!" Li Riming advised.
"Yes, as long as you're willing to treat Qingran well, we'll support you!" Hu Lanhua added. "As for other things like cars, houses, and dowries, you don't need to worry about them. Just give a token amount, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the other relatives nodded in agreement: "Chen Huo, we all approve of your relationship!"
"If we're talking about outstanding men, you are one of them. Qingran isn't blind!"
"Qingran has already agreed, and you, a grown man, are being so hesitant and indecisive, it's a bit inappropriate..."
Chen Huo opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Li Qingran's expectant heart was instantly extinguished, as if doused with a bucket of cold water: "Mom and Dad, since Brother Huo is unwilling, don't force him! He's a man destined for great things; it's normal for him to look down on me!"
"Enjoy your meal, I have a lot of work to do, I have to go now!"
"No, Qingran, don't rush..." Li Riming and the others wanted to dissuade her, but Li Qingran had already gotten up and left quickly.
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry, I'll go check!" Chen Huo immediately chased after her. "Qingran, I didn't mean it that way, I..."
"Then what do you mean?" Li Qingran's eyes reddened, glistening with tears. "Brother Huo, can you give me a reason?"
"I still have many things to do, I am not innocent, and I will let you down!" Chen Huo said.
"What if I'm willing?" Li Qingran gritted her teeth. "Whatever difficulties I face, I'm willing to face them with you."
