Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 638 - Farewell

Chapter 638: Farewell

As soon as Jiahui left the office, she saw Guan Tang standing in the corridor, looking dignified.

Guan Tang walked over and said, “Dr. An, it’s finally time for you to leave work.”

Guan Tang’s smile looked genuine. From afar, it was as though the two women were good friends.

“What’s the matter?” Jiahui did not have any ill feelings toward Guan Tang. She was mostly wary of Yin Jia. As for Guan Tang, she only felt that Guan Tang was also a victim of the arranged marriage. Previously, she had seen how the timid Guan Tang did not even dare to speak up in front of the fierce Yin Jia so she thought Guan Tang had to be a gentle person. Hence, her voice could not help but soften when she spoke to Guan Tang.

As the two of them walked down the corridor, Guan Tang calmly said, “Dr. An, I’m leaving.”

Although Jiahui did not understand the purpose or meaning of those words, she said, “Oh.”

Guan Tang continued to say, “The Yin and Mu families had a formal meeting previously. Cheng Che made it clear that he won’t return to the Yin family. He said he already has a fiancee and that he can’t accept my existence.” She sighed softly before she continued to say, “Dr. An, I don’t have any intention of interfering in your relationship. I’m helpless as well and have my own circumstances. I hope you can understand this.”

Jiahui only smiled softly and did not speak since she really did not understand what Guan Tang was trying to say.

Finally, Guan Tang said again in a soft voice, “Dr. An, I’m leaving.”

Jiahui stopped in her tracks, slightly surprised.

Guan Tang stopped walking as well. A hint of sadness could be seen on her otherwise calm face as she said, “I’ve already come to an agreement with my aunty, uncle, and sister. I’m moving out of the Yin family. I have no choice in the arranged marriage just like Cheng Che. However, I can’t be a hindrance to his return to the Yin family. Since he won’t return because of me, then I’ll leave. I’ll treat this as me repaying the Yin family for their care for me for so many years.”

Jiahui remained silent again as she continued to move forward.

After a moment, Guan Tang asked with a smile, “Dr. An, how did both of you meet? I’ll treat it as listening to a beautiful story.”

Jiahui thought about it for a moment before she generously replied, “We met because of Mu Chen and Song Ning. Mu Chen and Song Ning fell in love at first sight while Cheng Che and I can be considered to have fallen in love over time.”

Guan Tang smiled. “It’s good to fall in love over time. Cheng Che seems a little slow emotionally. It took him a while to fall in love with you. This means that he thought about it for a long time and is serious about you.”

Guan Tang’s smile was a little bitter when she spoke.

Jiahui felt slightly bad for Guan Tang. She asked, “The Yin family had no intention of recognizing Cheng Che in the past. Needless to say, they didn’t even mention your arranged marriage. Since Cheng Che isn’t returning to the family, what will you do?”

Guan Tang did not seem to mind Jiahui’s question at all. She sighed lightly and said, “My aunty raised me and treated me as a daughter. When the right time comes, I’ll marry into a family that’ll be of help to aunty, uncle, and the Yin family. It doesn’t matter what kind of man my husband is. As long as he’s able to help the Yin family, it’s fine.”

Guan Tang looked at Jiahui, looking a little humble as she said, “When others look at us daughters from wealthy families, they only see the bright side. No one knows the pains we hold in our hearts. In order to maintain our dignity, there are many things we have to endure. For example, even if our husbands cheat, we won’t be able to get a divorce. After all, our marriages aren’t just between the couples; it involves the interests of the families as well.”
