Weisheng POV
After that boring festival ended, I directly went to change my clothes and mask. I tracked Hong er's location and found her in a market. I went to the market and waited for her to notice me. I knew that she was sneaking behind me, ' How cute' My bodyguards knew what they had to do, they acted like they were surprised so Hong er won't be suspicious.
When I started to get impatient, she suddenly jumped on me and shouted my name. I froze, I didn't expect her to be this happy. I turned around and stared at her, ' Wooww~'. I don't know how to react so I only foolishly looked at her. When she tilted her head, I realized that I hadn't replied her yet.
Weisheng: " Oh! It is Hong er ah!"
I said while rubbing her head, she got off from me and pulled my hand. I don't know where she took me to, but I don't care. I was enjoying the bliss before I saw that annoying old man. It seemed like he recognizes me too, I smirked and gave him a thumbs down. Heh, just look at his reaction, he was definitely provoked.
We talked for a while and went to a restaurant. It seemed like my mother in law had accepted me as her son in law but it will be hard if I want to be accepted by that father in law. I swiftly sat beside Hong er and ignores that old man glare. I felt uncomfortable under Hong er's stares, she didn't steal glances like those girls usually do. She just stares at me, openly and her face was so close to mine. I asked her what's wrong and when she said that I looked similar to Da Qi crown prince, I choked on my tea.
She patted my back and wiped my mouth, after all this time, I realized that she is very attentive towards people who are close to her. I opened my eyes and saw a splotch of tea on her white sleeve. I felt guilty and apologized to her, she just brushed it off like nothing happened. I am really grateful that I found the right person.
When I thought that she had forgotten about it, she asked me again. I just nonchalantly replied to her . When I saw her just believe my lies, I can't help but pat her head. Her hair was very fluffy and smelled good. I decided to show her my face and her reaction was priceless. I got really embarrassed by her compliments but why does she had to say I can find " wives"?
I only want you as my wife, I don't want anyone else. I found you first so you can only be mine. She cutely called my name and I looked at her, ' Holy sh*t'. Why do you have to crush my heart like that? That taa daa~ was way too much for my fragile heart. Her golden eyes are so lovely. The red lotus mark on her forehead added a mysterious aura on her. While I am having an internal struggle, Hong er put her mask back on. I panicky asked her.
Weisheng: " W-why do you put it on again?"
Hong er: " Be-because I saw Sheng ge's shocked expression. My face is too ugly that you are shocked, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
What kind of nonsense is that?! If you are ugly then there is no beauty in this world. I consoled her to let me see her face again and she slowly took off her mask. Oh my gosh, that pout, it's illegal! I was KOed with her continuous cute attacks.
Weisheng: " Hong er, you have to promise me about one thing."
I seriously said to her.
Hong er: " Hm?"
She tilted her head and gave me her puppy eyes. My eyes trembled, ' Liu Weisheng! Focus! You need to properly tell her!'
Weisheng: " Don't show your face to anyone except me okay?"
Hong er: " I'm sorry, I can't"
Weisheng: " W-why?"
Hong er: " I had shown my face to the Xu residence's people."
Weisheng: " It's fine, but don't let anyone else beside them and me look at your face ok?"
Hong er: " Uhm!"
Bai Huiqing: " Okay, the food has come. Eat first, we will talk later."
They took off their mask and started eating. They saw Hong er really trusts me, they decided to took off their mask too.

After we ate, we talked for a while before I gave eye signal to mother in law and father in law and they nodded.
Bai Huiqing: " Hong er, help mother choose something."
Hong er: " Yes mother."
They put on their mask and left the room, leaving only me and old man. I ordered my bodyguards to put a soundproof magic around the room. The atmosphere got serious between us. I played with my cup and asked.
Weisheng: " How is the situation, old man?"
Xu Tingfeng: " It went smoothly here. How about yours, kiddo?"
Weisheng: " Hm, better than yours. And do you know what the other thing that I want to discuss?"
Xu Tingfeng: " Hm, I know. Hong er is very cute, right?"
Weisheng: " Heh, I have to agree with you in this."
Xu Tingfeng: " And I have to thank you for saving my daughter. But I haven't accept you as my son in law!"
Weisheng: " You won't know what will happen."
Xu Tingfeng: " Hmph!"
