Chapter 598: Who deserves 598
Ye Gaosheng arrived at the main courtyard and, sure enough, Madam He was busy packing two large trunks in the yard. The trunks were tied with red silk, clearly preparations for a marriage proposal.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Ye Gaosheng suddenly spoke up, his voice a bit too loud because of his agitation.
Madam He looked up and glared at him irritably, "What else could I be doing? I’m preparing the betrothal gifts for your marriage proposal. It’ll be November soon, and you’ll be 18 after the new year. If you don’t get married, we’ll become a laughingstock."
In her heart, Madam He was thinking she should get this matter settled quickly and then arrange the wedding before the New Year.
However, Ye Gaosheng came with a face full of sorrow and indignation, "Mother, stop fussing, I don’t want to get married yet."
Having been busy all day, Madam He’s face turned green with anger on the spot, "What? Say that again?"
Not long ago, he had told her to just take care of it, and now that a suitable match had been found, she had even prepared the betrothal gifts, but this ungrateful boy suddenly said he didn’t want to get married?
As Madam He’s temper flared, Ye Gaosheng immediately felt his confidence falter.
But the frustrated Ye Gaosheng still repeated himself with a whimper, "I... I’m busy, alright? How do I have time to get married?"
"Everything else is taken care of by your old mother. Won’t you even have time to come back and perform the wedding ceremony?" After hearing Ye Gaosheng’s words, Madam He found it utterly laughable.
Ye Gaosheng, not eloquent to begin with, was now completely at a loss for words, "Anyway, anyway, I just don’t want to get married!" It was the first time in his life that Ye Gaosheng dared to contradict Madam He, but thinking about marrying someone other than Qingyue made him feel terrible.
