Seeing her son being taken to the boudoir by Nuannuan, Father Cheng and mother Cheng looked at each other and smiled.
On the second floor.
Shi Nuannuan did not take Cheng Huan to the boudoir, but to the balcony behind the second floor.
Looking down at the scenery in the back garden, Shi Nuannuanâs line of sight was a little far away.
Only when the footsteps behind her stopped did she turn her head and look at Cheng Huan.
âI wonât get engaged to you.â
She hit the nail on the head and was decisive. However, it made Cheng Huanâs heart feel like it was being pricked by a needle.
â âWhy?âDespite the pain in his heart, he acted indifferent and asked in a low voice.
âBecause this marriage was just a lie from the beginning.âLooking at him, Shi Nuannuan told him the truth without him asking, âThat day, Grandpa Cheng was in critical condition. In order to fulfill his wish, I called him Grandpa. Originally, this matter wouldnât have been exposed. I just wanted to fulfill Grandpa Chengâs wish and not let him have any regrets.â
âBut as his body gradually recovered, just as my grandpa wanted to explain everything to you and your parents, Grandpa Cheng suddenly asked for the marriage to be fixed. âHe is my grandfatherâs life-and-death friend. Grandfather wouldnât have agreed to it just because he saw him leave this world with regret.â
At this point, Shi Nuannuan continued to speak. She also felt that there was no need to continue.
Meanwhile, Cheng Huan was completely stunned. His face was filled with disbelief.
After a long while, he recovered from his shock and looked at her in front of him. âSo from the beginning, you didnât plan to get engaged to me?â
âThatâs right. Iâve said it before. I have someone I like. Itâs impossible for me to get engaged to you.â
Hearing that, Cheng Huanâs hands that were hanging by his side involuntarily tightened!
He felt that a manâs dignity was being trampled on just like that. It was inevitable that he would feel angry in his heart.
However, he endured it and tried his best to calm himself down.
âThen just now, why did you tell your grandfather to choose the wedding dress later?â
âI will choose the wedding dress and the lie will continue, but I will not attend the engagement party.âShi Nuannuan turned her head and her gaze fell on her face, âIâm telling you this because I hope you can understand that Iâm only doing this for the sake of Grandpa Chengâs illness. Thatâs all.â
Looking at her, Cheng Huan only calmed down after a long while.
âI understand. Itâs impossible for you to get engaged to me, right?â
âYes.â
âBut thereâs only a little more than a week until the 8th of next month. If you want to maintain this lie, how are you going to escape the engagement party? âOnce you escape, it will also bring a heavy blow to my grandfather. It might even make things worse.â
When he said this, Shi Nuannuan could not help but be stunned.
She thought that when she was at the engagement party, she would find all kinds of reasons. Even if she suddenly ran away, as long as she did not attend, the engagement party would be nullified. However, she did not think that if she did that.., it would still bring a heavy blow to grandfather Cheng.
âWhen the time comes, if the media gets involved, how will you explain it?â
âI. . .âShe was stunned and could not find an answer.
After a while, she said, âAt worst, Iâll suddenly pretend to be sick. If Iâm sick, Grandpa Cheng will only feel sorry for me and wonât be affected.â
âReally? You know, this engagement party is what my Grandpa has been looking forward to the most.â
