âOkay!â
Albeit reluctant, because of his solemn words, she could not inquire about it.
The old man kept silent for a moment and then told his grandson, âHow about this: Iâll announce this matter on the day when you and Wanrou announce the wedding to public?â
His grandson answered, âIn that case, Iâll go make arrangements.â
âMm!â He nodded in relief and did not say anything more.
As the man proceeded to go upstairs, she chased after him. â... Zhe!â
He paused and slowly turned around, only to see her slightly bashfully standing behind him. With a complex expression, she stuttered for a bit and then stopped talking.
âWhat?â
âAre you really willing to marry me?â she asked with some hesitation. Her eyes were filled with undisguised disbelief and even suspicion.
He glanced at her, his gaze cold and indifferent.
He cocked a brow impatiently at her question.
She promptly explained, âI am just a little curious and have no other meaning! After all, you said before that you wonât marry me, yet now you changed your mind. Itâs unexpected.â
âThereâs nothing unexpected.â
She laughed. âIâm just too happy â so happy that I was a little skeptical. You... I didnât really believe at first that you will be willing to marry me and thought that I was dreaming!â
He kept his silence.
She inevitably felt awkward, but she still wanted to clear this matter up.
After all, she found it difficult to let go of her love for him.
âOnce you marry me, what about Yun Shishi?â she asked cautiously.
He indifferently replied, âYou donât have the right to mention her.â
Suddenly feeling a little disappointed, she remorsefully said, âWell, I know. I know that you agreeing to marry me is already my greatest honor! Other than this, I wonât ask much from you. Itâs just... If youâre truly willing to marry me, I swear to learn how to be a qualified young mistress of the Mu family! Itâs just... Do you really not mind my past?â
Her heart was in a mess at the moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She had always suspected that he did not agree to marry her for such a simple reason.
Hence, she wanted to find out and make it clear.
He was an extremely deep person. She could not fathom his unpredictable thoughts and felt that there was something more to his decision.
âMind about what?â
His cold gaze landed on her. âItâs on grandpaâs order and my unwillingness to go against him that I will marry you. As for the rest, you have no right to ask!â
She was startled.
He continued. âIn any case, youâve always been taking good care of grandpa. Iâm merely obeying his wish.â
âYou... Are you marrying me because you like me?â
Even if it was just a little bit, she wanted him to like her!
Alas, he retorted, âWhat does marrying you have to do with liking you?â
She felt choked.
âI know itâs because of grandpaâs order that youâre marrying me, and itâs got nothing to do with romance or love. I also know that Iâve let you down... but Iâll try to play my role well in the future!â
âItâs good that you know!â
With that, he turned and left.
As for her, she stood rooted to the spot, feeling a little disconcerted.
She returned to her room and sat on the bed. Her thoughts were in a mess.
She was a little caught off guard by his sudden acquiescence to their marriage!
