Chapter 261: They Are Not Stupid

"Xiaowei, stop asking."

Li Hongmei shook her head without explanation and turned back to her own room.

Zhang Xiaowei stood there as if he had been struck on the head with a muffled blow, standing dazed for a long while.

Clearly, I had persuaded Hongmei's parents.

But why didn't she want to herself?

Could it be that she had some other compelling difficulty?

Zhang Xiaowei just couldn't figure it out, what was still lying between them both?

Unable to discern the reason, Zhang Xiaowei stopped thinking about it.

For now, he had bought himself some time.

He would slowly look for the reason.

That night, Zhang Xiaowei fell asleep only as dawn was approaching.

The next day, he was woken up by a series of urgent knocks at the door.

Bleary-eyed, Zhang Xiaowei realized it was already broad daylight.

As he opened the door while yawning, he asked, "Hongmei, what's..."

He stopped mid-sentence, taken aback.

Standing outside wasn't Li Hongmei, but Sun Qian.
