Village Chief Zhou also
explained the reason for urging the two to get married. If he hadn't wanted to ask Lele to be a Testimony, they won’t be too impatient and it doesn’t matter if they wait three or two months.
Ms. Li's face burned. She glanced at Zhou Xialong and nodded: "I'm fine. It depends on whether my mother and my eldest daughter have any objections." "I have no objections," Cao Qingyue raised her hand in agreement: "If my
