Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 667: Concerned

Jiahui frowned. “You’re really shameless to proclaim my boyfriend is yours in front of me.”

Guan Tang sneered. “What’s wrong with being shameless to a rival?”

Jiahui felt speechless.

“I have self-righteous women the most,” Guan Tang said hatefully. Then, she suddenly rose to her feet and walked out.

Jiahui felt much more comfortable after drinking the soup in the bowl. Then, she thought to herself, ‘Guan Tang is really crazy.’

…

Cheng Che had not slept for two days and two nights.

Song Ning handed Cheng Che a glass of water and said, “Cheng Che, you can’t continue like this. How are you going to look for Jiahui if your body collapses?”

Cheng Che’s eyes reddened as he picked up the glass and drained it in one go.

After that, Song Ning said apologetically, “I’m sorry, but I put a sleeping pill in there. Sleep first. Your brother and I will continue to look for her. You have to rest before you continue the search.”

Cheng Che looked at Song Ning helplessly.

At this time, Mu Chen placed a hand on Cheng Che’s shoulder and said, “Listen to your sister-in-law. Sleep. Don’t be reckless.”

Cheng Che grew sleepier and sleepier so Song Ning found someone to help him back to his room. After that, she said to Mu Chen helplessly, “I didn’t have a choice. This is the only way we can get him to sleep.”

Mu Chen patted Song Ning’s shoulder and said, “You did the right thing. We can only for him to rest now. OId Master Yin is already in town, and Cheng Che’s battle will only get tougher from here on out. It’s important that he looks after his health now so he doesn’t collapse.”

Song Ning nodded before she asked, “We don’t have any leads now. What should we do?”

Mu Chen said in a deep voice, “It’s because we don’t have leads that it’s even more important for us to stay calm. I summoned Han Mo and Xian An. Let’s reanalyze the day Jiahui disappeared.”

Song Ning could tell that the more serious and complex the situation was, the calmer Mu Chen would become. Back then, if it were not for Mu Chen’s calmness, who knew how long it would take her to solve the problem? Hence, she trusted Mu Chen’s judgment very much.

After Yin Jia sent Ye Cheng out and agreed on the meeting time for the next day, she suddenly stopped him just as he was about to leave. She asked hesitantly, “You, don’t you want to ask me about Guan Tang?”

Ye Cheng looked puzzled. “Ask about her? Why?”

Yin Jia smiled at him with a hint of relief. Then, she said, “It’s nothing. Go home. I’ll see you tomorrow. I might even ask you to accompany me to see my grandfather tomorrow. In fact, he was supposed to be here for dinner.”

Ye Cheng smiled. “I’m more than happy to accompany you. Does it mean that the more elders I meet, the more likely I’ll pass the test with flying colors?”

Yin Jia only smiled. Although she remained silent, her gaze was gentle and happy.

Ye Cheng leaned forward and hugged her before he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. “Go in. I’m leaving.”

After Ye Cheng’s car had long disappeared from the driveway, Yin Jia was still deeply immersed in the feeling of being kissed on her forehead. How many years had it been since she had felt so moved? This time, she finally found the right person.

Despite Guan Tang’s attempt to attract Ye Cheng, it seemed like Ye Cheng had no impression of her at all. Yin Jia thought to herself, ‘As expected of an experienced and mature man like Ye Cheng. He’s not easily moved.’

In the past, Yin Jia believed in love wholeheartedly. She believed that if a man loved a woman, he would be faithful to her for the rest of his life. She thought that was the case when she met the purest and most innocent man. Alas, purity and innocence did not equal loyalty. Perhaps, he was easily moved because he had not seen enough of the world.

However, Yin Jia thought Ye Cheng was different. He had seen and experienced many things and was aware of women’s schemes. Hence, he would not easily fall for them.

When Yin Jia recalled Guan Tang’s pitiful expression, she felt disgusted as though she had just eaten a fly.

…

At this time, the ‘matured and experienced’ Ye Cheng was standing outside Zhuang Ning’s house.
