"What do you mean, a tournament to choose a bride?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao suddenly blurted that out, completely exposing the nonsense Jiang Siming had just managed to patch together.
Seeing Zhao Xuan's suspicious look return,
Jiang Siming hurriedly transmitted to Zhao Xiaoxiao, "Zhao Xuan suspects us! I made up the excuse about a tournament to choose a bride, but you just blew it! Are you trying to get kicked out of the family? Hurry up and cover for me!!!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao's big eyes spun around, and she instantly changed her story. "I only meant to give them a chance to challenge me. If they beat me, they can become my friends. I never said I'd definitely marry them. What do you mean, a tournament to choose a bride? That wording is way too exaggerated."
"Oh, right, right, right. I misunderstood. Yes, that's what you said. Whoever can beat you becomes your backup boyfriend, right?" Jiang Siming slapped his forehead, acting without the slightest trace.
"That's more or less what I meant." Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded reluctantly.
Only then did Zhao Xuan suddenly understand. So that was what was going on. She had thought her husband was lying to her.
"That still doesn't sound reliable. If someone beats you, he becomes your backup boyfriend? You don't even know what kind of person he is or what his personality is like. How can he become your backup boyfriend?" Zhao Xuan commented.
Jiang Siming immediately nodded. "Exactly, exactly. I don't think it's reliable either. She's just trying to satisfy her competitive nature. She'll probably change her mind and stop bringing it up after a while."
Zhao Xuan nodded, finding that reasonable as well. Zhao Xiaoxiao's ideas would definitely change in the future.
It was indeed a little too early to be talking about this now.
