Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 146 - 147 Confession
Chapter 146 -147 Confession
“Why are you giving me so many things?” Xu Ying felt her face reddening at the thought of a certain possibility, despite having lived a lifetime already. In her past life, she had never married.
Nor had she ever really experienced a romantic relationship; her love for Dong Wenzhong was unrequited.
After transmigrating to the post-apocalypse, there were indeed people who pursued her, but they were only interested in her beauty, not in her as a person.
Moreover, relationships in the apocalypse were incredibly messy.
The possibility of receiving a confession filled her with surprise and alarm beyond her initial shock. She did not want to be in a romantic relationship in this life, nor did she want to hurt or burden others.
Huo Chen, looking at her eyes that always sparkled brightly, felt as if his own thoughts had been discovered.
His heart thumped uncontrollably, yet his gaze remained resolute he looked at Xu Ying, whose mind was already swirling with tumultuous thoughts, “Xu Ying, I like you.”
It was noon, and the sun hung in the sky, bathing the earth in its glow, shining upon them both.
Suddenly, a few snowflakes fell from the sky, followed by more and more, as the snow grew heavier, though the sun continued to shine brilliantly.
Xu Ying’s heart skipped a beat; she looked up at the ravishing face so close to her own, with eyes that bore a fiery love—reminding her of how she felt when she first experienced love.
In those eyes, there was timidity mixed with determination, hazy and barely understanding.
Huo Chen, met with Xu Yaing’s prolonged silence, his firm eyes clouded with panic, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“I’ll walk you back,” Huo Chen suppressed the sourness in his heart.
Xu Ying stood quietly in the snow, snowflakes settling on her shoulders and clothing, quickly melting into water stains.
“No need, these things are too valuable. How much are they? I’ll pay you,” Xu Ying said. There were no women in Huo Chen’s house, and if she didn’t take them, they would just go to waste; she might as well buy them from him.

Huo Chen shook his head, his expression icy as he picked up the gifts and walked towards the Xu Family home. When he reached the doorway, he placed them right in front of the door.
Just as Xu Ying was about to speak up, Huo Chen’s eyes were pitch-black and his demeanor utterly serene, “My liking you is my matter, and you not liking me is yours.
If I like you, I will endeavor to pursue you in hopes of gaining your consent, but if you don’t agree, that’s fine too. This is something I choose to do, and you can’t stop me.”
Having said that, Huo Chen turned and left, with snowflakes falling onto his broad back, adding a touch of loneliness.
Xu Ying felt a sense of prickling pain inside but quickly turned her head away.
Looking at the piles of bags at the doorway, Xu Ying was restless, her small face filled with urgency.
Mrs. Xu came over, not knowing when, followed by Xu Ruhua.
“What’s all this? Hurry and bring it inside,” Mrs. Xu spoke, opening the door and taking the items back into the house.
Xu Ying’s face flushed with embarrassment, pulling Mrs. Xu aside, “Those are from Huo Chen. Give this money to him.”
If she were not prepared to be with Huo Chen yet took these things anyway, she would be no different from the shameless Dong Wenzhong.
Mrs. Xu took the money, guessing at her daughter’s thoughts, but she didn’t forget to advise, “Huo Chen is a good man; think it over carefully.”
Xu Ying knew all too well that Huo Chen was decent, which was why she dared not delay him.
She understood the extent of her fear of emotions and knew she likely couldn’t accept them at the moment. Moreover, her family had enemies; she did not want to implicate him and naturally did not want to harm him.
“I know, please give him the money for now.”
Mrs. Xu sighed. Ever since her daughter had changed for the better, she stopped worrying, but men were right—too much intelligence could be a curse, and she now wished her daughter wasn’t so capable.
In the evening, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu suddenly had a flash of a silhouette in her mind, identical to the one she had bumped into the last time she went back to her mother’s house.
This time, what was different was that the person turned around. Yes, she remembered, that man was Brother Shengshun’s classmate. At the time of Shengshun’s wedding, that man came with a woman.
“Yingying, I remember now, I remember who the person I saw that day was.” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, with a face full of excitement, rushed into her younger sister’s room.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying quickly ran out, “Who is it?”
“Zhang Guoqing, he and your cousin are good friends, they went to high school together. When your cousin got married, he was there too, along with a girl named Cheng Yinglan, who used to have a crush on your cousin.
But later, she ended up marrying your cousin’s good friend.”
As Eldest Sister-in-law Xu spoke, a pain shot through her head and images flashed before her eyes: the red “Double Happiness” character, a pool of blood on the ground, and the sound of people crying.
There was also a man, anxiously speaking to a woman. She remembered she wanted to step forward, but then someone hit her head, and after that, she lost consciousness.
“I didn’t fall on my own that day, I was knocked unconscious by someone,” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu suddenly exclaimed with a drastic change in her expression.
Xu Ying’s face immediately showed embarrassment, she knew there was something too coincidental about it.
“What happened, who got knocked out?” Mrs. Xu ran over, her voice booming, racing over quickly.
Mr. Xu came over as well with a grave expression, “What happened, who got knocked unconscious?”
“Me,” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu shouted excitedly.
“You were perfectly fine, how could you have fainted?” Mrs. Xu glared at her, unamused.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu insisted with all sincerity, “Really, I really was knocked unconscious.”
“Mom, what my sister-in-law is saying is about when Brother Shengshun got married. She didn’t faint from falling, she was knocked unconscious by someone,” Xu Ying said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu was immediately astonished and slapped her thigh, “Oh my, I knew there was something suspicious about it back then. Who hit you, why did they hit you? You must’ve seen something you weren’t supposed to.”
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu thought for a moment and shook her head, “When I went there, I just saw Shengshun had fainted. I was just about to go over and see what happened when I was hit on the head.”
The snow outside the window was getting heavier, the sun gradually disappearing in the sky, the gloomy weather mirroring everyone’s mood at the moment.
As soon as Eldest Sister-in-law Xu finished speaking, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, a solemn silence enveloping the space, sending chills down the spine.
Mr. Xu crossed his hands tightly, knuckles turning white, his face full of rage. If what happened to Shengshun was no accident, how malicious that person must be.
The cousin was once sharp as frost, the pride of the Xu family. How prestigious his second brother’s family used to be, yet overnight, Shengshun became foolish, lost his job, and the money from the house was all used up for his treatment, with even more borrowed from outside.
Seeing his younger brother, several years his junior, looking even more worn out than himself.
The thought that these events might have been a set-up made his blood boil with anger.
Xu Ruhua was even more stunned, quickly becoming furious, looking at Mr. Xu with resentment, “Big brother, could it be that Shengshun was really harmed intentionally?
We must report this to the authorities immediately, we can’t let the perpetrator get away with it.”
Xu Ruhua still remembered the events of that day vividly, supposed to be a double celebration with Shengshun finding a good job and getting married on the same day.
But because of a fall, they almost lost everything. Her second brother and sister-in-law, crying and kneeling, ran around the hospital arranging for Shengshun’s medical care and borrowing money, barely managing to save his life.
The one who was once the family’s pride turned into a fool overnight, and his second brother and sister-in-law’s hair turned white in a single night.
