He was clearly extremely furious and itching to strangle that woman, yet he still felt a tinge of inconceivable joy in his heart.
At the very least, Su Wanwan took the initiative to approach him when she needed something from him.
Despite hating that she had approached him with an ulterior motive, he still couldn’t help but crave her advances.
–
On the day of the meeting with Mrs. Pei, Pei Munian didn’t show up. Although Mrs. Pei explained that it was because something had come up at the last minute at Pei Munian’s company, Su Wanwan knew he simply didn’t want to come.
He may have promised to marry me, but he probably feels reluctant about doing it…
Maybe it’s because the incident between us was reported in the newspapers, so he was forced to take responsibility for me to prevent any negative consequences.
This is good as well. In this way… at least I won’t hold onto any false hopes anymore.
All night, Su Wanwan was like a commodity for sale-she allowed Su Zhenhua to market her and let Mrs. Pei size her up. The only things she could do were to keep smiling and sit there quietly.
Mrs. Pei never understood why her son, whom she couldn’t persuade or coax to find a woman to settle down with all these years, would change his mind all of a sudden. However, the moment she saw Su Wanwan, she completely understood.
It wasn’t that her son wasn’t willing to find a woman. It was just that… The other women probably weren’t what he was looking for.
She knew Pei Munian had liked a girl when he was in university. Although she didn’t know who that girl was, she had seen a picture of her but it was a little blurry, and only her profile was visible. Hence, she had never associated that image with Su Wanwan. However, when she met Su Wanwan tonight, she was certain that Su Wanwan was the girl whom her son once liked.
She really longed for her son to get married and have children. She had even lowered her expectations to the level where as long as it was a woman that he was willing to marry, she would approve.
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Su Wanwan. She had already heard much praise for Su Wanwan from her cousin, but at the same time, she was also extremely puzzled. Why is it Su Wanwan? She almost became my cousin’s daughter-in-law! How could I face my cousin in the future?
Mrs. Pei kept sighing as she thought to herself.
Upon seeing this, Su Zhenhua hurriedly asked, “Mrs. Pei, is something wrong?”
Mrs. Pei shook her head. “There’s nothing wrong, but…”
She paused for a moment. After thinking about it, she continued, “Regarding the marriage between Munian and Wanwan, I think they should get their marriage license first. As for the wedding ceremony, let’s wait till this matter has blown over to hold the ceremony, okay?”
Su Zhenhua’s face fell slightly. The reason he wanted Su Wanwan to marry Pei Munian was precisely so that he could make use of the Pei family’s prestige to make a comeback. But if there was no wedding, who would know that the Su family and Pei family were connected by marriage?
“This…”
Mrs. Pei also knew her request was a bit too much, but she had no choice but to consider the reputation of the Pei family. After all, Su Wanwan had still been the Gong Family’s future daughter-in-law just a few days ago.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Su. Once this matter blows over, I’ll immediately arrange the wedding ceremony for them.”
Su Zhenhua was still hesitating when Su Wanwan suddenly blurted out, “I agree to that!”
Mrs. Pei reflexively looked at Su Wanwan, overjoyed at the turn of events. “Wanwan, do you really agree?”
Su Zhenhua’s gaze turned solemn and he wanted to quickly jump in, but Su Wanwan nodded without the slightest hesitation. “Yes, I agree to not having the wedding ceremony for now.”
