The Obsessive Tycoon Claims the Deserted Heiress-Chapter 175 - 174: This marriage must not go wrong

"You can’t keep doing this." This woman was just too bold.

Boldly breaking into his life, boldly expressing her love, then slowly getting him accustomed, and finally making some excessive moves, always with enthusiasm.

"But you agreed to let me pursue you." Ruan Yuan hooked his index finger, looking pitiful.

She suitably softened her attitude, her voice somewhat choked, "Are you regretting it?"

The woman had a strikingly beautiful face, yet when pretending to be pitiful, a layer of mist would cover her somewhat deep eyes.

Her on-the-verge-of-tears look instantly softened Shi Yin’s heart, his long eyelashes fluttered a bit, and he spoke gently, "I don’t regret it."

Even so, the woman’s eyes still reddened, as if in the next second, sparkling tears would slide down from the corners of her eyes.

"It’s my fault, don’t cry." Shi Yin was flustered, he tentatively reached out and patted her head, trying to comfort her.

Completely unaware, he had already been utterly conquered by the woman before him.

Ruan Yuan dove into his embrace, snuggling like a petite bird against his chest, her lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Yet she spoke cautiously, "Then can you kiss me once?"

Shi Yin hesitated, but as the woman’s grip on his collar tightened, that hesitation dissipated along with the breeze coming in from the window.

He slightly inclined, wrapping his arm around her waist, and gently kissed her forehead, devoid of lust, only filled with affection for her.

The gentle touch magnified the joy in Ruan Yuan’s heart countless times over.

She held the man’s waist tightly, murmuring softly, "Shi Yin, I really like you."

Shi Yin responded faintly, his fingers unknowingly twirling a strand of her hair.

With his head down, he stared at the long finger entwined with her hair, his heartbeat skipped a beat.

Entering November, the weather grew increasingly cold.

It’s as if winter had already set one foot in, allowing the biting cold wind to sweep through overnight, enveloping the whole city.

The gate of the Yu Family’s villa was no longer wide open, the fallen leaves in the yard were swept clean without a trace of dust, yet it gave an illusion of no one living there.

Yu Xinman placed the crutch aside, and after Uncle Fang raised the indoor temperature, she took off her coat to reveal the white long dress underneath.

Her leg wasn’t fully healed yet, but she no longer needed to rely on a wheelchair and could take a few steps daily in the hall with the help of a crutch.

But it was still somewhat inconvenient to go out, causing the hatred Yu Xinman harbored towards Yu Zhi to grow even more while being trapped at home all day.

She sipped her coffee carelessly, casting a glance towards the door, "Mom, are the Chen Family coming over to discuss the wedding date?"

"Yes, I think so." Yuan Li wasn’t completely sure, after all, they hadn’t made it clear over the phone, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask too much.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t seen my sister in a long time." Yu Xinman’s head drooped, idly stirring the coffee in her cup.

The light refracted from above cast a shadow below her eyes, covering the fleeting emotion in her round eyes.

It is said that mothers know their daughters best, and Yuan Li surely knew what was lurking in her daughter’s restless heart.

She glanced at Yu Xinman indifferently, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "This marriage can’t afford any mistakes, behave yourself."

Ever since that incident happened, the Yu Family had already suffered greatly, and currently, only the Chen Family could help them.

Yu Xinman understood this too, otherwise, she wouldn’t have held back up until now.

She looked up, revealing a sweet smile, "Mom, I won’t act recklessly."

Yuan Li responded, continuing to flip through the magazine in her hand, not engaging her in further conversation.

About half an hour later, the sound of a car horn came from outside the villa, and then the door was pushed open from the outside by Uncle Fang, bringing three guests into the hall.

Yu Xinman immediately noticed the man in the wheelchair, dressed in a black trench coat with a dark blue shirt slightly open underneath.

His appearance had a hint of aggression, with a high nose bridge, slender eyes, and perfectly defined lips, making it hard not to take a few more glances.

Even with his leg ailment, his back remained straight, as if nothing could ever diminish his innate charisma and grace.

Chen Yan noticed her gaze, turned his head, and gave her a slight smile, perfectly gauged, not abrupt or offensive.

Yu Xinman was stunned, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and her cheeks grew slightly warm.

She returned his smile with her best demeanor, sitting elegantly and demurely, sipping her coffee, trying to calm herself.

The two families exchanged courteous remarks for a while, Liu Lan discreetly pinched Chen Shiguang’s hand, ready to clarify their reason for visiting today.

She glanced in the direction of the staircase, then turned back, asking with a smile, "Where’s Little Zhi? Isn’t she at home today?"

"She’s still in school." Yu Baisheng’s expression remained natural, showing no hint of anything unusual.

He looked at the couple, "Are you specifically here to see Little Zhi today?"

Liu Lan nodded, sighed lightly, feigning regret, "We originally wanted to share some good news with her, had we known, we would have notified you earlier."

"Did something happen?" Yu Baisheng was somewhat curious.

"Yes, our Zai Zai has started treatment for his leg recently, and the doctor said he should be able to stand and walk by early next year."

As Liu Lan spoke, the excitement in her eyes seemed ready to overflow, she continued, "We’ve always felt indebted to Little Zhi, so upon receiving this news, we wanted to come and tell her, and also let the two kids meet."

With those words, the Yu Family collectively fell into a brief silence, tacitly understanding.

When Yu Baisheng initially brought up the marriage alliance, it was because Chen Yan’s leg condition was unacceptable to the Imperial City’s noble families, which gave him this opportunity.

Chen Yan was the only heir of the Chen Family, and after recovery, he would undoubtedly begin to take over the family business.

Meanwhile, the useless Yu Zhi couldn’t offer any substantial help to Chen Yan, and being expelled from the Chen Family would be the least of her worries; if it involved the Yu Family, it would be a headache. freewēbnoveℓ.com

The plan was suddenly disrupted, leaving Yu Baisheng full of worry, while next to him, Yuan Li’s expression was similarly unpleasant.

She had never met Chen Yan before, and she couldn’t imagine he would turn out to be such a gallant and well-mannered young gentleman.

A person like this wouldn’t end up with Yu Zhi; surely, he would be more suited to Xinman.
