Ye Lu clenched her fists and coldly stated, "I’ve already agreed to the Shang Family’s marriage proposal, so don’t worry!"

Ye Wanli breathed a secret sigh of relief, feigning his sincerity he said, "Now that you have consented, I will keep my end of the deal and let you meet your child."

Just like going with the flow, he agreed to this matter.

"Ye Wanli, I want you to give up your custody rights and return my child to me."

"Humph, as long as I successfully get the seven hundred million bride price, I will naturally return the child to you. Go ahead and marry into the Shang Family."

After ending the call, cold gleamed in Ye Lu’s eyes: Ye Wanli, just wait and see, if you are heartless, then I will play dirty!

"Jingchen, what’s wrong with you? Ever since you came back that day, you’ve been out of sorts. Did something happen?" Yuan Jiayin looked at Shang Jingchen, puzzled.

Since they met, Shang Jingchen has been living with her, inseparable, and mostly spent his nights here.

But he didn’t return that night, which indicated that something was wrong.

Something must’ve happened, otherwise his usual calm demeanor wouldn’t be so startlingly disturbed.

Shang Jingchen hesitated, not having the nerve to discuss that night’s event with her. Even though nothing happened with Ye Lu, but his grandfather kept pressuring him to take responsibility.

He could easily ignore the threats from others, but his grandfather...

He was excessively irritated, and wished to strangle that cunning woman who had put him in such a predicament.

"Jiayin, what if one day, I have to marry another woman..." He regretfully looked at her.

Yuan Jiayin trembled. As clever as she was, she instantly understood - this wasn’t a hypothetical.

In her heart surfed waves of shock and anger. What’s going on? She thought she had secured Shang Jingchen’s heart, received his commitment, but there seemed to be a sudden turn of events.

Could Shang Jingchen be intending to marry Ye Lu?

She couldn’t bear it. After so much hardship in coming back, and painstakingly planning everything, she couldn’t just passively give it up.

It must be Madam Shang and Old Master Shang playing tricks, forcing Shang Jingchen. Damn it, that old man and despicable woman, they couldn’t stop her from becoming the lady of the Shang Family!

"I will bless you and your new bride with eternal happiness, and disappear from your sight forever, never to bother you again." She replied with a melancholy voice.

Shang Jingchen felt heartache and urgency at the same time, and hugged her tightly,

"I won’t let you leave, I’ll definitely find a way, Jiayin, I promised to only marry you as my wife."

Yuan Jiayin’s face lit up with surprise, "Jingchen, I believe you will do it. You won’t disappoint me."

That evening, Shang Jingchen was summoned for dinner at home. At dinner, both Madam Shang and Old Sir Shang were there, and sitting across him was Ye Lu.

Seeing her, Shang Jingchen stared coldly at her, not showing any courtesy towards her.

Ye Lu felt guilty towards Shang Jingchen, and she kept her head lowered eating.

After dinner, Old Sir Shang called him into the study, "Xiao Ye has agreed to the marriage. Jingchen, it’s your turn to state your position."

Shang Jingchen was taken aback, biting his teeth in resentment, "Well done, Ye Lu, pretending that you won’t marry me, now revealing your true colors, no more pretending."
