Chapter 431: 0429 Who dares Chapter 431: 0429 Who dares “What opportunity?” Su Ran looked at him, her voice laced with confusion.
Fu Qiyuan’s gaze was as still as the ocean depths, fixed on her with an earnest and gentle intensity.
“The opportunity to give you a grand wedding.”
Su Ran’s bright eyes widened with a mont of astonishnt, and as realization dawned, a visibly excited expression flickered across her face.
Fu Qiyuan took her hand and pressed a light kiss onto the back of it.
“Marry after the competition.”
Su Ran stared steadily at Fu Qiyuan, her face expressionless, calm, and still, as if ti had frozen at that very mont.
She blinked once, then again, her eyes beginning to redden as they gradually filled with glistening tears.
A sudden tightness gripped Fu Qiyuan’s heart, and it clenched painfully.
Damn it, how could he use this to pressure her.
“I…”
“Okay!”
Her voice betrayed her emotions, but her response was without hesitation.
Fu Qiyuan’s dark eyes flickered, his Adam’s apple shifted slightly, and his voice sounded hoarse and dry.
“What did you say?”
Su Ran’s radiant eyes gazed directly into his, her expression more earnest and emotional than it had ever been.
“I said, after the competition, I’ll marry you! I want you to marry !”
Word by word, clear and slow, each syllable fell precisely into the man’s ears.
“Fu Qiyuan, will you marry ?”
Fu Qiyuan’s heart was fiercely shaken, all his emotions collapsing at that mont.
He kissed her lips firmly, “Marry.”
After a lingering kiss, he pecked her forehead and held her tightly in his arms.
Eventually, he couldn’t suppress a low chuckle, a sound of joyous murkiness. He inhaled the fresh scent of her hair, unable to settle his elated mood.
Su Ran, too, lifted the corners of her lips, leaning gently against his shoulder, filled with anticipation for the arrival of that day.
However, monts later, the hand on Su Ran’s shoulder loosened, and he rose with his phone in hand.
Su Ran looked up at him, her face a mask of confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
Fu Qiyuan took a deep breath, “Nothing, I need to make a call.”
Su Ran nodded, not giving the matter much thought—after all, she knew how busy he was.
Entering the study, Fu Qiyuan didn’t turn on the light, sitting silently in his chair.
The room was dim, only a few beams of light filtering through the window casting long shadows behind him.
“Ha!”
A mont later, a soft chuckle reverberated through the quiet study.
It was an indeterminate ti before he took out his phone, the bright screen casting his face in revealing light.
His deanor was deeply inscrutable as always, revealing nothing, but the uptilt of his lips indicated his good mood.
The phone connected after just two seconds.
“President Fu…”
–
In the living room, Su Ran was listlessly watching TV when, at that mont, her phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
She paused when she saw the caller ID.
Taking a deep breath, she slid over the answer button.
“Grandfather.”
“Xiao Ran, co ho tomorrow. Your grandfather has sothing to discuss with you.”
Su Ran hesitated for a mont, “Okay!”
Seeing her consent, Su Zhongyuan spoke again: “Co back early, I’ve asked Aunt Zhang to prepare your favorite foods.”
Su Ran frowned but before she could speak, Su Zhongyuan, as if he anticipated her refusal, added:
“Xiao Ran, are you even unwilling to join your grandfather for a al now?”
Su Ran pinched the bridge of her nose. If there was one thing left at the Su family that she clung to, it was her grandfather, and so she found it impossible to refuse his request.
When Fu Qiyuan went downstairs, Su Ran had already hung up the phone.
“Tomorrow, I need to go to the Su Family ho.”
Fu Qiyuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Are they troubling you again?”
Su Ran smiled and shook her head.
“Grandpa has sothing for .”
Fu Qiyuan fell silent for a mont before nodding.
The next day, at the Su Family ho.
Su Zhongyuan seldom ca to the main hall, but when he ca downstairs, Wen Peipei and others were having breakfast.
Upon seeing this, Tan Lirong imdiately stood up.
“Dad, is the breakfast not to your taste? Or do you need sothing? Just give the word, and I’ll have the servants prepare it for you.”
Su Zhongyuan didn’t speak, nor did he spare them another glance, proceeding directly to the kitchen.
“Aunt Zhang.”
“Master, what would you like?”
“Prepare a richer lunch today, Xiao Ran is coming back. You know her preferences, make a few more dishes that she likes.”
Aunt Zhang was delighted, “Is the young lady coming back?”
Su Zhongyuan nodded and left the kitchen. As he did, Xinyan quickly approached him in a docile manner.
“Grandpa.”
She was portraying the image of a well-behaved and obedient granddaughter at all tis.
Su Zhongyuan scanned her with a glance, gave her a nod, and turned to head upstairs.
Wen Peipei and the others were a bit slow to react. As lunchti approached and they saw him sitting on the sofa again, they understood even less.
“Master, Madam, the food is ready. Shall we serve it now?” The servant suddenly spoke at this mont.
Wen Peipei was puzzled but satisfied with his behavior that day; a family should eat together happily.
A trace of a smile appeared on her withered face, “Let’s start the al…”
“There’s no rush, wait a bit longer.”
Su Zhongyuan suddenly interjected.
Wen Peipei frowned, accustod to having her orders obeyed without question. Su Zhongyuan’s words slightly darkened her expression.
“The food is ready, what are we waiting for?”
Su Zhongyuan glanced at her coolly, “I am still the head of this family. If I say wait, we wait.”
Wen Peipei’s face turned pale, and she looked at him in disbelief.
“You…”
At that mont, a sharp sound of an engine roared at the villa’s entrance, followed by the noise of tires screeching against the pavent.
“The young lady is back.”
Before they could see her, they heard a servant’s voice, and as everyone looked towards the doorway, Su Ran’s tall, slender figure soon appeared before them.
Xinyan’s expression stiffened, revealing her displeasure, but she soon put on a face of surprise and excitent.
“Sister, you’re back.”
Wen Peipei’s brow imdiately furrowed, “How co it’s you?”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at her, “Why can’t it be ?”
Wen Peipei’s face darkened, “What are you doing back here?”
Su Ran’s lips curled into a smirk, “Do I need your permission to co back?”
“The Su Family is under my managent now. You tell if you need my permission?”
“You manage? Then where do you place Grandpa?”
Wen Peipei turned white, only to hear Su Ran say:
“Grandpa, I really shouldn’t have co back today. This ho does not welco at all.”
“Who dares!”
As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, Su Zhongyuan’s cane struck heavily on the floor, the weighty sound frightening everyone to stillness.
“Whoever dares not to welco you, get out of this family right now.”
Everyone’s expressions drastically changed because of Su Zhongyuan’s statent!
