CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 126: THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO MARRY ME

Now, hardly anyone remembers.

Two years ago, Song Kangcheng had actually confessed to Gao Huifang, and it was when almost all the educated youth were present, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He thought he could move Gao Huifang with his sincerity and true feelings. He even handed over a jade pendant his mother had left him, as a token of his love, with utmost reverence.

But under his eager gaze, filled with fantasies of love and the future, Gao Huifang merely touched the jade pendant with disdain and threw it to the ground.

"A fake jade pendant, and you dare call it a family heirloom and present it to me as if it’s a treasure? I’m really amazed, Song Kangcheng, you can’t even bring yourself to deceive someone with such a fake thing, can you? Can’t you use something presentable?"

That jade pendant, which he cherished as a treasure, shattered into pieces on the hard stone right before his eyes, just like his dignity, unable to be pieced back together.

Song Kangcheng desperately explained that he didn’t know the jade pendant was fake, but Gao Huifang didn’t believe him at all, nor did she want to listen to anything he had to say. Instead, she kicked him down as he squatted to pick up the pieces.

"Treating this junk as a treasure, can’t you first look at what you are now? Like a dog, utterly useless, yet you still think you can date someone?"

"You can’t even get into the worst university with your college entrance exams, you can’t work, you can’t earn money, you’re useless at everything, and we don’t even know if you’re capable in that regard. Why do you think you can like me? With your thick skin?"

"You really make me laugh to death. Do you really think that giving me some snacks and doing some chores for me meant I would agree to you?"

"Take a good look at yourself in a puddle. Even after eight hundred years, I wouldn’t look at a guy like you, you’re not even fit to carry my shoes. I must have the worst luck to have an useless man like you fancying me, tch."

"..."

It seemed like at that time, Gao Huifang felt pursued by him was too embarrassing, and she kept humiliating him in front of many of the educated youth, without taking the shattered jade pendant to heart.

She even purposely stomped hard on those fragments before leaving as if she was crushing all his dignity with her feet, arrogant and full of herself.

Song Kangcheng always carried that broken jade pendant with him, even if it was fake, it was the last thing his mother had left him.

His love and hate for Gao Huifang were also the deepest secrets he hid in his heart.

In the past two years, Song Kangcheng had wished more than once to have the opportunity to curb Gao Huifang’s arrogance, to let her fall to the bottom and never rise again, and then to trample her underfoot, making the once arrogant her kneel and wag her tail beseechingly before him.

He liked her, but this affection had changed on the day she stepped on his dignity, and it fermented madly throughout these two years.

Finally, heaven gave him this opportunity.

He would never forget Gao Huifang’s disheveled state when she fled back to the educatiₑd youth base from Liu Tiejun’s house.

Her face pale from torment, with marks all over her face and body left by Liu Tiejun, her clothes tattered.

She looked miserable and pitiful, but that sight almost drove Song Kangcheng mad with excitement.

She was no longer the lofty, arrogant Gao Huifang. He realized the opportunity had come.

Living in the educated youth base, Song Kangcheng knew all of Gao Huifang’s whereabouts, so he followed her, lowered his voice deliberately, and bullied her with crude language, forcing her to kneel and beg him, just like he had imagined countless times before.

In the dark night, she lowered her once proud head to him multiple times, losing all her arrogance, humbly compliant like a dog.

Song Kangcheng was initially very satisfied with this result, but soon he was not content with merely this.

If Gao Huifang looked down on men like him the most, what if he could make her fall in love with him and willingly marry him?

Just thinking of such a scene made Song Kangcheng uncontrollably excited and tremble.

And now, he completely crushed her with one identity and saved her with this once despised identity, only pretending to be deeply affectionate for a little over a month, and his goal was achieved.

Gao Huifang actively, and even with gratitude, wanted to marry him.

Tomorrow, they were getting the marriage certificate.

Thinking of this, Song Kangcheng jumped around the room, excited.

The genuine affection he had once offered so fully, she didn’t cherish. Now the fake affection, she regarded as a treasure.

"She really is a cheap woman!"

He cursed a few times, briefly freeing the hidden crazy self within, before he started picking up the scattered firewood again.

The grim, sinister expression on his face kept changing, slowly reverting to the gentle and magnanimous demeanor Gao Huifang often saw, showing no signs of the earlier horrific appearance.

By the time Gao Huifang finished washing clothes and came back, Song Kangcheng looked no different from usual. He even held her hands, reddened from the cold, and blew on them, his face full of concern.

"You’ve worked hard, Fangfang."

Though Gao Huifang still felt a bit uneasy, envious and jealous of Ye Manman, she thought that now she also had Song Kangcheng treating her well, which barely settled her discontent.

Furthermore, after Song Kangcheng promised to protect her, Gao Huifang never encountered the man who would secretly follow and bully her at night. For this, she felt deeply moved.

With gratitude and shyness, she leaned into Song Kangcheng’s arms and whispered.

"Tomorrow, once we get our certificate, we’ll truly be husband and wife, so why say such things, really."

Song Kangcheng smiled slightly, stroked her hair, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Even when we become a couple, some words should not be spared."

"Thank you, Fangfang."

"Thank you for agreeing to marry me. I will definitely treat you well in the future."

He said these words offhandedly, making Gao Huifang utterly overjoyed once again.

Even though they had no money for wedding photos or new clothes, Song Kangcheng’s ability to sweet-talk couldn’t be resisted.

Early the next morning, the two happily took the first tractor of the year to the town to get their marriage certificate.

After getting the certificate, Song Kangcheng’s expression was already hard to maintain, but Gao Huifang was immersed in the happiness of newlywed life and didn’t notice at all.

As per the agreement, they went to the hospital to check for pregnancy.

Gao Huifang kept praying that she wasn’t pregnant, but reality is often that cruel.

The doctor told her she was already more than a month pregnant.

Then it was completely unclear whose child it was.

Song Kangcheng’s face suddenly turned very ugly, and as he looked at Gao Huifang, a strong malice flashed in his eyes.

"Cheng, let’s get rid of it."

Gao Huifang didn’t notice his gaze. She absolutely detested this child, whether it was Liu Tiejun’s or the other man’s, she hated them both, so she unhesitatingly chose to get rid of it.

But she didn’t expect that Song Kangcheng, who usually prioritized her safety, would agree without a moment’s hesitation.

"Alright, then let’s get rid of it, as you wish."

Gao Huifang got the medicine to abort the child as she wanted, but she always minded Song Kangcheng’s unusual attitude at the hospital.

However, after they returned home, Song Kangcheng seemed just like usual, fetching her hot water, taking care of her, comforting her as she had stomach pains after taking the medicine.

Gao Huifang didn’t think too much and soon put the things in the hospital behind her.
