Yu Yang walked to her and took a seat in front of her.
An action that quietly revealed his meticulous and refined nature.
He stared at her, “We’re getting married, don’t you think I should know some things about you? What exactly happened to you in that house?”
“It’s a fake marriage.”
“It’s still a marriage.”
“Fine. Do you want me to organize my personal information in portfolio format?”
“Por-No. let’s just discuss about it.”
“Oh… Then I’ll start, my name is Li Yeli, I’m twenty-five-”
“I know…all of that.
And I didn’t mean it this way.” He laughed, “You know if this is how you engage in a discussion with someone…you need to improve.”
“Do I have to?” She thought for a while, “Don’t tell me I have to appear as a public figure just because I’m your wife.”
“No, dear .” Yu Yang leaned forward, “I would never allow you to do something you don’t want to.”
Li Yeli frowned, making him laugh.
__________
Yu Family residence,
“Are you getting married by any chance?” Madam Yu asked sharply.
Even seated, her presence alone was enough to pressure the entire room into silence.
Her cold eyes locked onto Yu Yang with an intensity that could make anyone nervous.
Around the table, the Yu family exchanged stunned glances.
Curiosity flickered in their faces as they stared at Yu Yang with disbelief.
This was the same man who had spent years avoiding women as though romance itself offended him.
The family had long accepted that their young master would probably die alone before willingly bringing a woman home.
And now…
marriage? New chapters come out on g.com first.
“Yes,” Yu Yang answered calmly, as if he had merely announced the weather.
“I’m going to get married.”
The room instantly erupted into murmurs.
“What nonsense are you saying?” Madam Yu’s expression darkened.
“You’re getting married and you didn’t even think to inform your family first?”
“I was planning to tell you soon,” Yu Yang replied without the slightest urgency.
“Soon?” Madam Yu repeated.
“When exactly? The day you walk down the aisle?”
Yu Yang paused briefly before responding, “No. Probably after the engagement.”
Madam Yu nearly lost her breath.
“You-!”
Yu Yang calmly added, “Or maybe today.”
“You little bastard!” Madam Yu snapped, slamming her cane against the floor.
“Who the hell do you think you are?”
Yu Yang remained completely composed.
“Your grandson, Madam Yu.”
A few members of the family immediately lowered their heads, trying desperately to hide their laughter.
Only Yu Yang would dare answer the old matriarch like this and survive.
Mrs.
Zhuang quickly moved to calm her mother down, gently rubbing her shoulders.
“Mother… please calm down. Watch your health.”
Madam Yu inhaled deeply several times before finally suppressing her anger.
Once she regained her composure, her tone became noticeably softer, though the authority in it remained.
“So,” she said slowly, “who is this girl?”
Madam Yu frowned immediately.
“Which Li family?”
“The Li family.”
“Which Li family?” she repeated impatiently.
“Who are her parents? I’ve never heard of them before.”
Before Yu Yang could respond, his cousin, Zhuang Ying, suddenly spoke up.
“Wait… is she the girl who proposed to you at your gathering?”
The atmosphere instantly shifted.
The family members all turned toward Yu Yang again, their curiosity growing even stronger.
None of them had attended the private gathering that night, but rumors had spread quickly within the upper circles.
They had heard that some bold young woman publicly proposed to Yu Yang in front of countless influential people.
More importantly…
they had also heard the girl was supposedly ugly.
Yu Yang ignored Zhuang Ying completely, neither confirming nor denying it.
Seeing his indifferent expression, she quietly shrank back into her seat and didn’t dare push further.
Madam Yu narrowed her eyes.
“Don’t tell me you want to marry her simply because she proposed to you?”
“I’ll bring her to meet everyone in a few days,” Yu Yang replied calmly.
Madam Yu almost exploded again.
“You son of a gun! You’re seriously planning to marry some random woman you barely know? Have you completely lost your mind?”
For the first time since the conversation began, Yu Yang’s expression visibly softened.
“Li Yeli isn’t some random woman,” he said quietly.
“Most importantly, I fancy her.” He slowly turned his head to meet the old woman’s eyes, “shouldn’t that be a reason enough to approve of us?”
