Chapter 840
“Okay!”
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, “How about this: I’ll announce this matter on the day when you and Wanrou announce the wedding to public?”
His grandson answered, “In that case, I’ll go make arrangements . ”
“Mm!” He nodded in relief and did not say anything more .
As the man proceeded to go upstairs, she chased after him . “… Zhe!”
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 .
“What?”
“Are you really willing to marry me?” 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, “I am just a little curious and have no other meaning! After all, you said before that you won’t marry me, yet now you changed your mind . It’s unexpected . ”
“There’s nothing unexpected . ”
She laughed . “I’m just too happy – so happy that I was a little skeptical . You… I didn’t really believe at first that you will be willing to marry me and thought that I was dreaming!”
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 .
“Once you marry me, what about Yun Shishi?” she asked cautiously .
He indifferently replied, “You don’t have the right to mention her . ”
Suddenly feeling a little disappointed, she remorsefully said, “Well, I know . I know that you agreeing to marry me is already my greatest honor! Other than this, I won’t ask much from you . It’s just… If you’re truly willing to marry me, I swear to learn how to be a qualified young mistress of the Mu family! It’s just… Do you really not mind my past?”
Her heart was in a mess at the moment .
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 .
“Mind about what?”
His cold gaze landed on her . “It’s on grandpa’s order and my unwillingness to go against him that I will marry you . As for the rest, you have no right to ask!”
She was startled .
He continued . “In any case, you’ve always been taking good care of grandpa . I’m merely obeying his wish . ”
“You… Are you marrying me because you like me?”
Even if it was just a little bit, she wanted him to like her!
Alas, he retorted, “What does marrying you have to do with liking you?”
She felt choked .
“I know it’s because of grandpa’s order that you’re marrying me, and it’s got nothing to do with romance or love . I also know that I’ve let you down… but I’ll try to play my role well in the future!”
“It’s good that you know!”
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!
