âGrandpa, I donât want to get married.â Chu Wuyou suddenly felt a severe pain around her temples.
âWuyou, to be frank, Leng Rong is not too bad. Why donât you come home first?â Evidently, Elder Chu seemed rather satisfied with Young Master Leng and he did not want to pass on this chance so easily.
âGrandpa, I really donât want to get married. Can you pass on the message, please?â She pleaded in a spoilt manner.
She was suddenly reminded of Ye Lanchenâs arrogant, domineering, and egoistic attitude. That man would definitely turn this into a massive deal once he learned about it.
Her life at the moment was already miserable enough. She did not wish to create more unnecessary troubles.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright then.â Elder Chuâs heart softened eventually.
Chu Wuyou thought that things would be left unsettled at this note.
However, she received another call from Elder Chu about two hours later. The man sounded a little strange this time. âWuyou, perhaps you do need to come home right now.â
âWhatâs wrong?â This caught her by surprise. What had happened that she must head home now?
âElder Leng showed up at our house personally. He said that he wonât leave unless he meets you. No one is able to change his mind.â
â...â
The woman was speechless.
Seriously?!
Elder Leng really went all out this time! What was he planning to do?
âWuyou, just come home for now. Make things clear if you really want to refuse the offer, or things will only get more awkward than it already is. We canât really chase Elder Leng out of the house, can we?â He sounded a little embarrassed.
âAlright, then. Iâll be there soon.â She never expected things would take such a dramatic turn. It appeared that she must return home today no matter what.
âPresident, Young Master Leng went to Chu Residence with a marriage proposal.â Secretary Liu made a phone call to Ye Lanchen as soon as the woman arrived at the family residence.
âOkay,â the man replied softly in his normal voice.
â...â Secretary Liu was at a loss for words.
Was that all? Young Master Leng was now at the Chu Residence with a marriage proposal to request for Madam Presidentâs hand. How could the President remain unperturbed?
Was this reaction normal?
âWhat did you say?â Just as Secretary Liu was analyzing the situation, Ye Lanchenâs voice entered from the other end of the phone again. The calmness in his tone earlier was replaced by a cold indifference.
âYoung Master Leng went to Chu Residence with a marriage proposal,â Secretary Liu repeated himself.
âLeng Rong went to Chu Residence with a marriage proposal? To marry Chu Wuyou?â Ye Lanchen finally grasped the situation. This time around, his voice was so intimidating it sent a shiver down the other manâs spine.
He already thought Leng Rongâs attitude toward Chu Wuyou was peculiar during their previous encounter in Leng Jue, but never did he expect the man to head over to Chu Residence with a marriage proposal.
âYes.â Secretary Liu heaved a sigh silently before bracing himself to reply. âThe proposal is directed to Madam.â
âWhereâs Madam?â Ye Lanchen figured Chu Wuyou probably would not entertain Leng Rong since she had already married him anyway.
âMadam has returned to the Chu Residence.â The man inhaled deeply when he disclosed this information.
Ye Lanchen, who was on the other end of the phone, narrowed his gaze immediately. She did not return to Chu Residence normally, but she was eager to go home now that Leng Rong had shown up with a marriage proposal.
Well, well, well!
Secretary Liu felt his legs trembling just by listening to the Presidentâs heavy breathing at this minute. He knew that what would happen next must be earth-shattering!!!
