Ye Lanchen pinned Chu Wuyou down to the bed in one swift movement.
They did stay up the entire night after that…
She was so exhausted that she failed to lift her eyelids the next morning.
The woman did not open her eyes even under the man’s aggressive kiss attack.
She did not even realize when the man finally took his leave.
Leng Residence.
“It seems like you don’t care if I get married or not. If that’s the case, then don’t bring up this topic ever again.” Young Master Leng regarded his mother indifferently.
He had been away from home for the past few days. He thought initially that the wedding arrangements would pretty much be sorted by the time he returned. To his dismay, it appeared that his mother had not even gone to the Chu Residence with a marriage proposal.
“Didn’t I instruct you to sort that out as soon as possible? Why haven’t you?” Elder Leng became impatient. He only had one grandson. The family would be reaching the end of their lineage if the latter decided not to get married.
“I’m taking some time to reconsider it, as well as to get a better understanding of the situation.” Miao Lingling felt aggrieved. Unquestionably, her son’s marriage meant a whole lot of deal to her. She did not want to do a sloppy job because of that.
“What more do you want to understand? What matters most is he likes the woman. Hurry up and head over to the Chu Residence. Right away. Immediately,” Elder Leng urged. He would bring Miao Lingling over personally if he could.
“Okay, okay, I’ll head over right now.” Naturally, Miao Lingling dared not disobey Elder Leng’s order. Besides, she knew that her son was serious about marrying First Young Lady Chu.
The servant informed Li Min about the guest’s arrival when Miao Lingling finally showed up at the Chu Residence. The former, who looked slightly frustrated, was completely stunned when she noticed the unexpected guest. “Madam Leng! Madam Leng? Why would Madam Leng show up at Chu Residence?”
The Leng family came from a background of government officials and was incredibly influential in Jin City. The Chu family, which had established their name through businesses, dared not offend people like the former.
There had never been any exchange between the Lengs and the Chus. Li Min could not fathom the reason for Madam Leng’s unannounced visit.
“I came here with a marriage proposal from my son, Leng Rong.” Miao Lingling explained her intention clearly upon seeing Li Min coming out to receive her.
“Marriage proposal?!” Li Min’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. The first person that flashed across her mind was naturally Chu Ninger. She thought to herself that the poor girl would never be bullied again once she got married into the Leng family.
No one in Jin City dared to offend the Leng family.
Li Min was initially worried that her daughter might not be able to get married into an affluent family, after all the things that happened recently. It was completely out of her expectation that someone would come knocking at their door with a marriage proposal so soon.
It was the Leng family, to say the least!!!
The timing was perfect too. She had just bailed Ninger from the police station after pleading around for help.
“Is Elder Chu home?” Miao Lingling was slightly surprised to witness the delight that washed over Li Min’s face, though she quickly understood the situation within seconds. However, she found it rather awkward to explain herself now and decided she should at least wait until meeting Elder Chu.
“Of course, Elder Chu is in the study at the moment. I’ll get him for you. Please wait for a moment, Madam Leng.” Li Min could not hide the joyful grin from her face, thinking that the marriage proposal was intended for her daughter. “Ninger, Ninger, come downstairs for a moment. Madam Leng is here.”
Miao Lingling blinked blankly and wished to interrupt the other woman. On second thought, Li Min did not actually say anything other than calling for Chu Ninger to come downstairs. She feared that it would only make matters worse if she said something thus she resorted to silence.
Chu Ninger shuffled down the stairs within minutes. She knew her mother well enough to know that an important guest must have showed up, based on the woman’s overly-excited tone. It must be great news.
