Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Serenity knew coming here to propose marriage wouldn't lead to anything today. River knew it too-he was doing it on purpose. And of course, Serenity could see that River did have some feelings for Romina.

After all the tension and friction between them, maybe River really did want to marry her.

Serenity looked at her brother-in-law, forced a smile, and said, "Mr. Lafond, Mrs. Lafond, I know it's a bit sudden to show up today with a marriage proposal, but Romina really has damaged River's reputation. This isn't something that can just be settled with a little compensation for emotional distress. River has stayed chaste for years, and now, Romina's actions have tainted that. If he wants to date someone in the future, people will talk."

"He's thirty-one and still single. The elders in our family are anxious about his love life. I came to Eaglioncile this time mainly for tourism, yes-but I also came with a mission from the family: help River find a good woman."

"He works here in Eaglioncile. It's not practical for him to fly back to Wiltspoon just for blind dates. Even if he met someone, it'd end up a long-distance relationship and likely fall apart. So the family's intention is for River to date locally and settle down here."

"But after what happened last night? If that gets out, who would even consider going on a date with him? I've even drafted a marriage profile for River and was planning to submit it to major dating agencies here in Eaglioncile."

She stopped there.
