"Oldman Yan, your granddaughter really resembles her mother. She is really beautiful," Oldman Lei said, breaking the awkward confrontation between Yan i and Lei Zhao. Grandpa Yan smiled when he heard him.
"Yeah, my Xiaoi is beautiful, just like her mother. Xiaoi, this is Lei Zhao, Oldman Lei's grandson."
Yan i nodded stiffly at Lei Zhao when she heard her grandfather.
"Let's leave the kids alone so they can get to know each other. We old people have a lot of things to discuss too. It's been a long ti since I've seen you," Oldman Lei said as he dragged his friend out of the coffee shop.
Yan i and Lei Zhao sat face to face. Neither of them was in a hurry to break the frigid silence. Yan i had a good impression of Lei Zhao since he didn't take advantage of her when she was drugged.
Only a few n can do that. Thinking about his offer, she realized it wasn't that bad.
Anyway, she knew her heart was dead already and there is no way she would fall in love again. Also, he is her grandfather's favorite candidate for a grandson-in-law.
Thinking about love, Yan i was tired. So tired that she no longer wanted to believe in love anymore.
She could not fall in love with soone again and grandpa has forced her to this extent. How anxious must he be for her to get married?
Anyway, she knew that eventually, she would have to get married to make her grandfather happy. So why not choose the man in front of her?
"Let's get married," Yan i said coldly.
When Yan i said this, Lei Zhao, who was drinking his coffee, suddenly choked on the coffee. Seeing him cough, Yan i quickly handed him a tissue.
"Mr. Lei, are you okay? I thought you wanted to marry you this morning to repay your life-saving grace or have you changed your mind?"
After a while, Lei Zhao stopped coughing. He smiled softly to Yan i and said gently, "I'm fine, don't worry. Thank you for your concern."
With a thoughtful look on his face, he said, "Are you sure you want to get married? Marriage is not a child's play and once we get married, I won't ask for a divorce."
Even though he wanted to marry her and was thinking about how to convince her, he didn't expect her to suddenly propose that they should get married. He wanted her to marry him because she wanted to, not because of pressure from her grandfather.
Yan i frowned when she heard him.
"Well, thank you for reminding , but I know what I'm doing. I will try to be a good wife."
Lei Zhao smiled when he heard what she said.
"Since you have agreed to marry , then we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning."
Yan i nodded indifferently as she took a sip of her coffee. A few minutes later, she got up and looked at Lei Zhao.
"Mr. Lei, if there is nothing else to discuss, I will see you tomorrow at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock. Don't be late."
Lei Zhao grinned. He liked how his wife was a little spitfire.
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
Yan i nodded indifferently. "Then I will leave first. Enjoy the rest of your coffee."
Lei Zhao looked at the woman who was leaving the coffee shop and a glint of light passed through his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
- THE NEXT DAY -
Su Bei looked at her friend and sighed.
"Yan i are you okay? You have been staring at your coffee for a couple of minutes now without drinking it." The sound of Su Bei's voice brought Yan i out of her daze.
"I got married," Yan i muttered.
Su Bei spluttered her coffee when she heard Yan i.
"What?"
Yan i nodded.
"Yes, we went to get the certificate this morning," Yan i said as she looked through the window of the coffee shop.
"Wait, is it the guy who saved you from Fang Yan who asked you to marry him as a life-saving grace?" Su Bei said as she looked at her friend.
Yan i had told Su Bei what happened last night.
"Yes," Yan i replied softly.
"You… what happened? How could you decide so rashly? Marriage is no joke. It involves two families. Do you even know who he is or what he does for a living?"
Yan i fell into deep thought as she took a sip of her coffee. She frowned when she realized that her coffee has beco cold.
"No. Grandpa set up a blind date for . When I went, it was him. I'm bored with these blind dates and he is the best candidate so far, so I chose him. It's not like I can fall in love with sobody again," Yan i said faintly.
Su Bei sighed when she heard her. Just as she was about to speak, a phone rang. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was her mother.
She smiled apologetically at Yan i as she picked up the phone.
"Mom," Yan i did not hear what Su Bei's mother said, but she suddenly saw Su Bei's face turn pale.
"Okay, I'm coming right away."
Yan i looked at her friend, who looked pale, and asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"
Su Bei forced out a smile as she got up.
"Yeah, don't worry. I will see you later at the office. My mom told to do sothing for her. Sorry, I have to go."
Without waiting for Yan i to reply, Su Bei left the café. Yan i frowned and sent her a ssage:
Yan i: Take a few days off of work. Take care.
She knew her friend had so financial problems, but she always had too much pride to ask for help. Because she doesn't want Su Bei to feel uncomfortable, she pretends not to be aware of it.
Yan i looked through the window and tapped her fingers on the table as she thought of a way to help Su Bei without letting her know.
Just as she was contemplating what to do, a shadow settled from across her.
