The man didn't care much, and in the evening he came over again. This was the first time Xiao Chen rejected him.
"Since you're going to get married, don't come looking for me anymore."
"What? Getting brave, are we?"
"You're about to get married, so why are you still looking for me?" Xiao Chen overcame her inner fear. Although this man wasn't much of a talker, he was generally nice to her, giving her some money and standing up for her when her stepsister and stepmother bullied her.
"What does my marriage have to do with you? Do you think you can get rid of me? Ha, even if I get married, you'll be with me for life."
"I don't want that. I'm grown up now, and I can find a husband and leave this house too."
"Heh, dream on. You'll never get rid of me."
"Then don't get married."
The man didn't say anything, but he still got his way.
As Xiao Chen grew older, she worried about getting pregnant, but nothing like that had happened in the past four years.
