My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox-Chapter 25: I Want to Marry You
Chapter 25: Chapter 25: I Want to Marry You
Li Wanshan’s eyes bulged, his entire being petrified in place.
Wasn’t this akin to tearing off his old face and rubbing it on the ground?
"I am actually trying to help you!"
Wu Xia slapped Li Wanshan’s shoulder, "You’re only in your early forties, you don’t want to spend your life unable to hold your head up, do you?"
"I can make you feel like you’re twenty again, I guarantee the Village Chief’s wife won’t look elsewhere!"
Li Wanshan shook his head frantically, "Wu Xia, please spare me, stop messing with me, I admit my wrongdoing!"
He didn’t believe for a second that Wu Xia had such good intentions.
Besides, even if his impotence became public and it was treated, he still wouldn’t be able to hold his head high ever again.
"Fine, then I’ll just talk about what happened the day before yesterday!"
Wu Xia shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk outside.
"Don’t!" Li Wanshan hastily stopped Wu Xia, his eyes filled with resentment, "You’re harsh, I give up. From now on, it’s best if we keep our distance. Otherwise, I can also fight with everything I’ve got!"
Wu Xia smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, my dear Village Chief, once I’ve cured you, you’ll be grinning in secret!"
With that, he whispered in Li Wanshan’s ear, "I know you have other affairs in town, once you’re cured, won’t you have even more face when you go there?"
Li Wanshan still didn’t dare to believe that Wu Xia truly wanted to cure him.
And Wu Xia had his own agenda.
He needed Zhou Fang and Wu Gang to know he had the capability to cure this condition, to put their minds at ease.
Moreover, in this remote and impoverished mountain village, if he wanted to attract wealthy clients, this was the best way.
They wouldn’t want to lose face in the city, but who would know if they came to the mountains?
Ma Yan was ecstatic to hear that Wu Xia was willing to do an interview, but when she found out Wu Xia wanted her to live stream the process of treating Li Wanshan’s impotence, she was completely dumbfounded.
"No, impossible!"
Ma Yan outright refused, "Our newspaper would never broadcast such filthy content!"
"How could your story be touching if you don’t showcase my medical skills?" Wu Xia retorted.
Ma Yan frowned, then said, "There are many ways to showcase medical skills, why does it have to be this one?"
"I like it!" Wu Xia didn’t bother with much explanation, "If you’re unwilling, I can find other media outlets. There will always be someone willing!"
"You..." Ma Yan was left without any other options by Wu Xia and had to compromise, "I will apply for permission from the higher-ups. I don’t have the final say!"
"Alright, then I’ll give you one day. If I don’t get a response by tomorrow, forget about the whole thing!"
Without wasting more words, Wu Xia asked them all to leave, then prepared to go find Du Lijuan to address his stiffness problem, as being perpetually erect was indeed troublesome.
No sooner had he closed the door than he saw Li Mengyue rush into the courtyard.
Upon seeing Wu Xia, Li Mengyue immediately raised her voice, "Wu Xia, I want to marry you!"
"What?"
Wu Xia looked surprised, then laughed, "Li Mengyue, are you sick?"
Li Mengyue swiftly approached Wu Xia, grabbed his hand, and said seriously, "I’ve thought about it carefully, I want to marry you, you can make me happy."
Towards the end, a satisfied joy flickered in her eyes, her gaze unconsciously glancing towards Wu Xia’s lower region.
"Crazy woman, why should I make you happy?"
Wu Xia angrily shook off Li Mengyue, thinking that while it’s fine to play around with such a flirtatious woman, marriage was laughable.
Li Mengyue had completely lost her usual haughtiness, looking at Wu Xia with pitiful eyes, "Wu Xia, I was wrong that day, I was too capricious."
"I don’t want a dowry; I’ll pay you instead. I’ll give your family 680,000 yuan as a bridal gift. From now on, I’ll only love you and protect you forever."
"Would you please give me a chance?"
At that moment, Li Wanshan and the others, having heard their daughter’s voice, walked out of the office and caught the tail end of Li Mengyue’s speech, turning his face green with shock.
"Yue, what are you doing?"
Li Wanshan, furious, rushed forward, glaring at Li Mengyue: "Are you drunk and not sober yet?"
"Dad, I haven’t drunk anything. I truly like Wu Xia, and I want to marry him, no matter what conditions he proposes—I’ll accept them all!"
Li Mengyue spoke with great conviction.
That day, Wu Xia had given her a happiness she’d never felt before, and she no longer had any interest in other men.
For her future sexual happiness, she had made her choice.
The other members of the village committee were dumbfounded.
They all knew that just a few days ago, Li Mengyue had gone to Wu Xia’s house to call off the engagement, and now she was actively seeking marriage, even bringing a dowry with her.
It left everyone completely baffled.
Ma Yan was full of astonishment, her gaze fixed deeply on Wu Xia.
In her eyes, though Wu Xia was somewhat handsome, he was still a fellow from the impoverished countryside, dressed plainly in every way.
Li Mengyue, however, was not only beautiful and fashionably dressed in branded clothes, but also the daughter of the village chief. How could she possibly fall for someone like him?
"You’re crazy!" Li Wanshan, trembling with rage, protested: "Haven’t you already agreed to Chen Bin’s proposal from the town’s textile factory? They’ve even delivered the betrothal gift!"
"I’ve returned it!" Li Mengyue said resolutely: "Chen Bin is no good; he doesn’t compare to Wu Xia. I like Wu Xia, and I want to marry him!"
Li Wanshan’s face turned a shade of green.
Wu Xia had just made a fool of him, and he was planning to publicly treat his condition of impotence, making Li Wanshan loathe him to the bone.
And now, his daughter was causing a scene, insisting on marrying him, even to the point of bringing a dowry.
This was practically going to be the death of him!
"This is madness, you’re causing a huge scene!" Li Wanshan bellowed: "I don’t agree, and there won’t be a wedding unless I’m dead!"
"Haha!" Wu Xia was amused and laughed, patting Li Wanshan’s shoulder lightly: "Old Li, no need to get so worked up. I don’t agree either. Don’t think about dying; I still need your help with an important matter."
As Wu Xia spoke so, Li Wanshan’s face softened a bit, but Wu Xia’s following words once more made him pale with fury.
"I never fancied your daughter; she’s not worthy of me at all!"
"You..." Li Wanshan was so angry he trembled all over, unable to utter a single word.
Yet Li Mengyue wasn’t angry; she bit her lower lip tightly: "Wu Xia, I know I’m not worthy of you, but if you’re willing to marry me, you can do whatever you want in the future, even if it means having an affair. I won’t mind, and I’ll even give you money and help you pick someone."
"Damn it!"
Ma Yan and the rest were shocked by such a declaration.
Only someone thoroughly love-crazed could say something like that!
Li Wanshan was on the verge of collapsing, breathing heavily. If not for those holding him up, he might have fallen over.
"Li Mengyue, what on earth do you think about every day? You’re driving your father to his grave." Wu Xia looked scornfully at Li Mengyue: "Get rid of that idea. I am a man you will never be able to have!"
Having said that, Wu Xia couldn’t be bothered with them anymore and turned to leave.
Li Mengyue grew desperate to follow, but Li Wanshan was holding her tightly. She struggled fiercely, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Wu Xia, even if you won’t marry me, let me be your mistress; I’ll be your third," she called out to him.
