“So that’s how it is,” Jiang Yi’s voice was as smooth as water. “If Wanwan was with Master Huo last night, then the pictures must have been a misunderstanding.”

When she finished speaking, she turned towards Su Yanyan, hinting, “Yanyan, see? Wanwan already has a new boyfriend, how could she still be involved with Yuyun, right? Stop acting like a child from now on, and behave properly with Yuyan, understand?”

“Ridiculous!”

Su Yuntang, too, expressed his dissatisfaction, scolding Su Yanyan. Su Yanyan bit her lips tightly, filled with resentment, but was utterly powerless.

She had seen the news in the newspaper early this morning and thought she finally had the chance to expose Su Wanwan’s true colors, but who would have thought…

After causing such a ruckus, Huo Jingshen suddenly appeared and cleared up all the misunderstandings convincingly with just a few words. And in the end, she was the one in the wrong!

“Alright, alright.” Su Xueqin interrupted impatiently, and looked at Huo Jingshen, “Master Huo, how long have you been acquainted with Wanwan?” Su Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, but before she could respond, Huo Jingshen had already replied, “Three days.”

Damn, what a pig!

Just three days and she had already spent the night with him. Who would believe that they moved that fast?

“Three days?” Su Xueqin’s brows furrowed again as his voice turned grave, “Wanwan, what is going on?”

Su Wanwan pursed her lips.

Then, she lifted her face, with a faint smile. “Grandpa, whether it’s three days or three years, is time really that important?”

She met Xing Yuyun when she was seventeen. At that time, he had just returned from studying abroad. Gentle, handsome, polite – a model young man in the eyes of all the elders. He was kind and never looked down upon her stupid ways. But what happened later?

Back then, in order to get her to agree to the engagement, Su Xueqin had said that there was no one better than Yuyun. He had watched Yuyun grow up, and all the Xing family’s children were dependable…

What a load of crap!

It was a good thing she was always busy butting heads with Su Yuntang and Yanyan, and completely uninterested in romantic relationships. Otherwise the whole “two women sharing one husband” drama would’ve been truly cheesy! Su Xueqin seemed to empathize. He sighed deeply, “Alright, alright, if you really like Master Huo that much, grandpa will listen to you.”

Haha…

Su Wanwan’s smile was a tad stiff.

“Even though it’s just been three days,” Huo Jingshen added casually, “Wanwan and I fell in love at first sight and are mutually attracted to each other. It feels like we met too late.”

Su Wanwan felt as though a large flock of black crows was flying over her head. Love at first sight?

Mutual attraction?

Wished they’d met earlier?

What the hell was he blabbering about?

Did he have to be so dramatic?

“Right, Yuyun?”

The moment Huo Jingshen asked this, Huo Qinyu instantly turned to her son, “Yuyun, did you know about this beforehand?”

Xing Yuyun did not reply, but just coldly gazed at Huo Jingshen, his handsome face ice-cold.

Such acquiescence was undoubtedly the best proof.

Huo Qinyu felt a little complex at that moment.

Originally, Su Wanwan was just an unsavory stone in her eyes. She was Su Xueqin’s illegitimate daughter raised by him, and even her biological mother was unknown. But by the time Su Wanwan was born, Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi were already married. How good could a mistress’s daughter be?

Compared to her, Su Yanyan was gentle and delicate, and the legitimate heiress Of the Su family. Moreover, she had been admitted to the best university in Nancheng this year. Since the Xing family was keen on marrying a Su family daughter, Su Yanyan was naturally the best candidate.

But now, to her absolute surprise, Su Wanwan, the one their Xing family didn’t want, had suddenly hopped onto Huo Jingshen’s vehicle!

If things really worked out between them, wouldn’t that make Su Wanwan her niece-in-law? Before Huo Qinyu could understand…

“So today, I came here specifically to propose.”

With a “clap” sound, the small cell phone that Su Wanwan had just regained slipped and fell to the ground.

Under her astounded gaze, Huo Jingshen bent down and picked up the cell phone from the floor, “Wanwan, are you this surprised?”

Su Wanwan grit her teeth and snatched her phone back.

Wasn’t she clearly terrified? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So soon?” Jiang Yi couldn’t help but speak, “Wanwan hasn’t even finished her college yet, and you guys barely know each other.”

She was genuinely surprised. She’d assumed that Huo Jingshen was only flirting and would discard her once he tired of the chase. Who knew he would suddenly bring up marriage?

If Su Wanwan really married into the Huo family, wouldn’t things become…

Didn’t you marry Yuntang before you finished college too?”

Su Xueqin interjected purely to aid Wanwan, which left Jiang Yi slightly abashed.

She lowered her head, not daring to express her opinion any further.

Su Yuntang, however, did not express his stance.

As a matter of fact, he couldn’t care less about who Su Wanwan married as long

as she stayed out of his sight and never bothered him again.

“Wanwan.” Su Xueqin turned to his granddaughter and spoke earnestly, “Whether you get married or not, grandpa will leave it to you. If you really want to get married, grandpa will prepare a dowry for you, so that you can have a grand wedding! But grandpa still wants to say something – when it comes to marriage, it relates to your happiness for the rest of your life. Grandpa hopes that you consider it carefully and not choose the wrong person again.” His speech made Su Wanwan feel like laughing and crying at the same time, but it also made some people’s faces twitch.

After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan finally opened her mouth, “Grandpa I don’t want…”? ’

“Trouble, there’s trouble!”

The maid’s voice interrupted her.

Su Yuntang’s tone was unhappy, “Can’t you see we have guests? What’s with your incessant clamoring!”

The one who ran in was a new maid. She said fearfully, “Sir, a large group of journalists has arrived outside.. I can’t stop them…”
