Old Master Su walked out of the living room, his face dark. "How could this be allowed? My grandson isn’t really going to marry Mingjing, so why make it public knowledge? Besides, Mingjing is my Su Family’s future granddaughter-in-law. She’s about to marry my grandson!"
What the heck? Someone wants to snatch his woman?
The little guy immediately rolled up his sleeves and glared at Old Master Su. "She’s my wife."
"You’re not even fully grown yourself! What do you know about a wife?"
The little brat huffed arrogantly. "Of course I know. Daddy said that a wife is the woman a man wants to protect for his whole life! The bad woman saved me, so I, this young master, want to protect her for a lifetime! I don’t trust anyone else with this!"
Daddy said you have to protect your own woman! I absolutely cannot give anyone else the chance!
Old Master Su was speechless. He didn’t want to argue with a child. He turned to Si Mingjing, expecting her to talk some sense into the little one.
"Mingjing, you tell him."
But Si Mingjing’s response was astonishing. She chuckled lazily, "Grandfather Su, I think I can wait for him to grow up."
This little treasure is simply a master at flirting; he’s too adorable. Who could resist this? He’s perfect to use as a shield. Not only can I refuse Grandfather Su’s random matchmaking and foil the Song Family’s plans, but I can also thoroughly smack the faces of those keyboard warriors. It’s killing three birds with one stone.
Si Mingjing dared not look at Old Master Su’s shocked face. She truly didn’t want Old Master Su and his grandson to have a falling out because of her, so she said, "I’m sorry, Grandfather Su. True love came too quickly. I can’t marry your grandson."
Old Master Su was speechless.
In the living room of the Ye Family estate, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
The butler and the servants fled from the eye of the storm as if their lives depended on it. Yet, unable to suppress their burning curiosity, they all craned their necks to peer inside.
There, they saw the Third Young Master of the household, utterly devoid of pride, kneeling before the Eldest Young Master. He respectfully held up a cup of coffee, hoping the Eldest Young Master would cool his anger.
"Big Brother, I was wrong! It’s really my fault this time! But Grandma forced me! She said if I didn’t issue a network-wide public announcement, she’d arrange blind dates for me—two a week! Isn’t that a death sentence?"
Mo Yinhe sat on the sofa but didn’t take the coffee. He tapped his finger on the armrest. The invisible pressure emanating from a man in his position of power instantly caused the air pressure in the living room to plummet again. "And you’re not afraid I’ll take your life?"
Ye Shen was speechless.
He placed the coffee on the tea table and fiercely wiped away his bitter tears.
Between his own happiness and his Big Brother’s, he could only choose to sacrifice his Big Brother...
"Big Brother, just before Sister-in-law passed away, she told you to protect me for life."
Mo Yinhe’s right hand, resting on the armrest, suddenly tensed. His entire demeanor changed, as if his Inverse Scale had been touched. "Shut up! Your Sister-in-law—she’s not dead!"
Ye Shen’s voice was filled with grief. "Big Brother, it’s been five years. Please, accept reality. If Sister-in-law weren’t dead, why would she abandon her husband and child, leaving you and Xiaobai all alone to fend for yourselves..."
Mo Yinhe’s gaze darkened, his eyes filled with a profound obsession. "She said that when Xiaobai is grown, that will be the day of her return."
Ye Shen was speechless.
Did Big Brother really believe that? When Sister-in-law said that, it was clearly because she was afraid Big Brother might follow her in death. That’s why she gave him a reason to live on, a belief that he should wait for her return...
"Big Brother, this is a perfect chance to stir up some rumors with Miss Si. Maybe if Sister-in-law sees news of you falling for someone else, she’ll get angry enough to come back and settle things with you?"
With a loud BOOM, Mo Yinhe could no longer contain the violent rage surging within him. He kicked Ye Shen squarely in the chest, sending him flying. "Get out! Even if I’m desperate to find her, I would never use something to anger her!"
