Turtle-Shell Crack

Chu Chen helped Wu Ke sit upright, stared into her eyes, and said, "Keke, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"But..."

"There's no 'but'!" Chu Chen waved his hand, cutting her off. "Keke, let me ask you something. Compared to you, who do you think is worthy of me? Don't talk about being well-matched in status. Since we were able to get engaged, you should know that my family approves of our marriage."

"Uh..." Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke bit her lip and fell into thought. Aside from their family backgrounds, she truly didn't think she was inferior to anyone else. If she had to name one shortcoming, it was that she couldn't cook.

"Well? Other than cooking, do you think you're inferior to anyone else? So stop worrying about things that haven't happened, and don't say things like whether you're worthy of me anymore!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Although Wu Ke understood the reasoning behind Chu Chen's words, she still felt anxious. On top of that, an irritable feeling had begun to well up inside her.

Seeing Wu Ke's tightly furrowed brows, Chu Chen couldn't help frowning as well. He found it strange that Wu Ke had suddenly developed such emotions. They were almost married—what was there left to worry about?

"Wait... married?"

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Chen. He suddenly remembered a term he had seen online some time ago. Linking it to the inexplicable emotions Wu Ke had suddenly developed, perhaps things really were as he suspected.

"Keke, you're not afraid of getting married now, are you?"

"Hm?"

Wu Ke froze when she heard him. Only afterward did she remember that the reason she was feeling this way was indeed because they were about to get married.
