After the woman heard it, he sighed and said, "I told you not to indulge yourself too much in debauchery. See, this is your retribution. You don't even remember who you are anymore. Then, let me introduce myself again. My name is Sima Yan, do you remember anything? " Li Qiang shook his head indifferently. Sima Yan replied in a displeased tone, "You really forget everything. Back then, I was so good to you, yet you didn't have the slightest impression of me."
Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't remember anything. I hope you don't blame me." Sima Yan let out a sigh, extending her delicate hand and stroking the back of Li Qiang's hand, "How can I blame you? You might not be able to remember anything, and I'm very sad, but I will help you recover your memories. Right, why did you come here to propose marriage? If you want to play with women, you have a lot of ways to do so. Why did you use the stupidest method? Li Qiang said, "I heard an expert explain that if you want to cure my illness, you must marry enough wives before you can treat it."
Hearing this, Sima Yan stuck out her tongue, "That's easy. The number of girls you've played with is probably higher than this. Why don't you just recruit them? I can join you and help you." Li Qiang said embarrassedly, "That senior said my wife must be a virgin, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Sima Yan's face turned red, "Are you deliberately making fun of me? What kind of conditions are these? Are you looking down on us? "
Li Qiang hurriedly said, "This is what that senior said. It has nothing to do with me. I beg that elder sister is not angry." Sima Yan helplessly shook her head, "Can you not call me Big Sis? My head hurts just listening to you. In the past, you called me Little Yan, but from today onwards, this will be the case." Li Qiang said: "Alright then, I'll call you Little Yan from now on. Right, what are you doing, can you tell me?"
Sima Yan revealed a sweet smile, naughtily blinking her eyes, "Think about it, what would a notorious friend of a rapist do? Guess, if you guess correctly, you'll get a reward! "
Li Qiang laughed, "How could I have guessed it? Could it be that you are a female rapist?" Sima Yan giggled and said, "You really know how to speak nonsense. What am I, a woman, picking flowers for? "Alright, I won't listen to your nonsense anymore. The only reason we can hang out together is because we both have the word 'thief' in our titles. Let me tell you, I am a flying thief. I specialize in stealing good stuff." Li Qiang came to a sudden realization and said, "No wonder your skills are so good, especially your Qing Gong. It only took you an instant to reach my bed."
Sima Yan laughed out loud, "Actually, the reason I came this time was to steal something from this house. I didn't expect to see you here. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Li Qiang said, "Didn't I tell you before? I came to propose, and I hope that Miss Ma can marry me." Sima Yan replied, "I feel that there's something fishy about everything. Think about it carefully, you shouldn't have done this."
Li Qiang frowned and said, "What's there to think about? Anyway, I've already decided to marry that young miss. I've already asked for her hand in marriage once in the past, but I just didn't succeed." Sima Yan replied, "Since that's the case, you don't have to be so long-winded. I still have to sleep here for a while. Go handle your matters." Li Qiang said with a smile, "That's good as well. You can rest here, but please don't have any ideas about the Ma Family. If Miss Ma agrees, then she'll be my wife. I don't want her things to be stolen by you."
Sima Yan smiled and said, "Oh, now you just feel sorry for your wife's family. Alright, go ahead. I won't think about this." Li Qiang thanked, "Thank you so much. I can finally rest assured." As he spoke, he closed the door gently.
Along the way, Li Qiang thought about it a lot, but his mind was filled with the shadow of Sima Yan. After all, this woman that he had just met had given him too much of a shock, actually making it hard to forget about it, but this woman was also a flying thief, definitely not a good person. Li Qiang sighed. He raised his head to look at the sky. At this moment, there were a few clouds in the sky, covering most of the sun, making it seem somewhat gloomy.
When they finally arrived at the courtyard Miss Ma lived in, Li Qiang handed over the invitation. The maid who was guarding the door was the one who had delivered the post that day, and upon seeing Li Qiang arrive, he excitedly said, "You're finally here. Quickly go in, our Miss has been waiting for you for a long time." Li Qiang apologized and came to the courtyard. In front of him was a wooden building. The maid said, "Miss Ma is already waiting for you upstairs, please go up!" Li Qiang walked up the stairs. The room upstairs was elegantly decorated and the air was filled with an enticing fragrance.
He saw a girl standing by the window, gazing into the distance. Her snow-white long robe covered Ling Long's body, but it still couldn't stop her graceful figure. Just as Li Qiang was about to speak, he suddenly heard the woman say, "Since your esteemed guest has arrived, please sit down and speak. I was just thinking about something, please forgive me for my rudeness." Li Qiang spoke politely and sat down on a chair. A bowl of fragrant tea was already placed in front of him. It was filled with steaming hot tea.
Li Qiang smelled the fragrant tea wafting over and could not help but drink it from his bowl. He praised, "Lady's fragrant tea is really good. I only just took a sip and I know it's top quality." Hearing this, the girl turned her head and said in displeasure, "Young Master, please stop. Th-this is the teacup I use …" Only then did Li Qiang feel that something was amiss. He realized that the cup of tea was only half full. It seemed that the young lady had placed it on the table after drinking a few mouthfuls, yet Li Qiang treated her as a guest. Just as Li Qiang was about to speak, he was stunned by the scene before him.
However, the woman that met him was wearing a zombie-like mask. Although his figure was enchanting, when paired with this terrifying mask, Li Qiang didn't know what to say. Li Qiang was at a loss for words. He said, "I'm sorry, I was rude. Are you Miss Ma?"
The masked woman giggled and said, "Young Master, there's no need to be so polite. I am Ma Wei. You can call me by my name from now on." Li Qiang was about to say something, but he stopped himself. Ma Wei knew what he meant and asked, "Young Master must want to know why I'm wearing this mask, right?"
Li Qiang nodded and said, "To be honest, I do want to know the reason for this." Ma Wei replied, "I believe young master already knows about my background. I was an ominous person, and this appearance must have belonged to that 'husband'. Even if our marriage wasn't complete, I didn't want to harm you when we met. That's why I put on my mask to prevent any mishaps." Li Qiang laughed involuntarily and said, "Miss is thinking too much. Those that disobey your husband are all feudal superstitions. I don't believe this. You can take off your mask, but I feel scared when I see you wearing it."
Ma Wei chuckled and casually took off her mask. "Alright, I'll take it off then. If something happens, don't blame me." Immediately, a beautiful face appeared in front of Li Qiang. With her exquisite facial features and fair skin, especially her pair of bright eyes, Li Qiang was stupefied. When Ma Wei saw Li Qiang frozen in place, she couldn't help but step forward and wave her delicate hand in front of his eyes. "Young master, what are you thinking? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Qiang recovered and praised, "Miss is too beautiful. I'm sorry, I was a bit rude." Ma Wei smiled coquettishly and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a stranger. It's so fun to see the first one." Li Qiang saw Ma Wei's naïveté and couldn't help but to have a fond heart. He thought to himself, "I thought a widow would cry, but I didn't expect this Ma Wei to be such a cute girl. Wouldn't it be a pity if she wasn't such a good girl? It seems that I should learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds to marry her away."
Seeing that he was lost in thought again, Ma Wei retorted, "Not only did you not apologize after using my tea bowl, but you also didn't answer my question. Just what do you want to do?" Li Qiang immediately replied, "I want to marry you!"
