Xia Xiunian had been watching Jiang Bozhou warily, and now he noticed that the way Jiang looked at Li Yunyan was becoming more and more tender and intriguing!
He had a very bad feeling!
With a long stride, he blocked Li Yunyan's path, his gaze meeting Jiang Bozhou's, his eyes filled with warning.
Jiang Bozhou met his gaze without flinching. This seasoned businessman, experienced in the ups and downs of the business world, wore a smile and appeared gentle and polite.
But they just won't give it back.
Their appearance and status were so striking that few people in the building didn't recognize them, and they all craned their necks to look in their direction.
Li Yunyan didn't want to stay any longer, and she gave up on the strategy! Across Xia Xiunian, she said to Jiang Bozhou, "Young Master Jiang, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality today!"
Then he turned around and went downstairs.
Xia Xiunian glared at Jiang Bozhou, then followed him.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Li Yunyan quickened her pace and soon walked out of Mingyue Tower.
The Mingyue Tower is bustling with noise, but not many people have come out, so the streets outside are quiet.
Xia Xiunian grabbed Li Yunyan's wrist.
"Yunyan! I'll take you home!"
Li Yunyan shook off his hand, "No need, I'll go back by myself!"
"It's too far from here!"
Xia Xiunian grabbed her again, his tone sincere, "Yunyan, let's talk!"
Li Yunyan really wanted to talk to him. She wanted to tell him that she didn't want to get involved in his family background at all!
Even if he is the best.
He nodded slightly.
Xia Xiunian was overjoyed and gestured to the people following behind. Soon, a magnificent carriage with a canopy drove up.
He jumped up and stretched out his large, well-defined hand towards him.
Seeing the apprehensive look in his eyes, Li Yunyan lowered her gaze slightly and placed her palm on his.
Xia Xiunian didn't take advantage of her. With a gentle pull, he lifted her onto the carriage and then let go.
The carriage was spacious and comfortable, and the two of them sat at opposite ends without feeling cramped.
The wheels began to turn slowly, and the carriage was very stable; even the tea on the small table did not shake.
"Yunyan."
Xia Xiunian said in a low voice, "I want to fulfill our marriage contract."
Li Yunyan genuinely wanted to reason with him, so she didn't bring any negative emotions into it and realistically said, "The Li family is gone now. I am just an orphan girl, and my family and yours are not a good match."
"I don't care! Yunyan! I don't care what your background is!"
"But your parents care, your family cares!"
Li Yunyan looked at him calmly, "Do you really want to break with your family for my sake?"
"I can!"
Xia Xiunian looked anxiously into her eyes, "Yunyan, I really can!"
Li Yunyan looked away, "But I don't want to carry such a bad reputation. Xia Xiunian, we're not suitable!"
"Would Jiang Bozhou be suitable?"
A storm brewed in Xia Xiunian's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Jiang Bozhou only has a widowed mother at home, and I'm afraid she will have even more demands regarding his marriage!"
After saying that, he felt it was inappropriate and softened his tone: "Yunyan, I'm not saying you're bad! What I mean is, no matter what kind of man he is, he will have family behind him, and his family will have all sorts of opinions! Since you can see Jiang Bozhou in your eyes, can you please not exclude me?"
Li Yunyan's eyes flickered; she actually thought what he said made a lot of sense.
Her current status is that of the daughter of a disgraced official. As for her future partner, unless she finds an orphan or marries into an ordinary family, she will inevitably be picked on by others!
She turned to look at him, somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that a military general would have such eloquence!
Seeing that she finally looked at him, Xia Xiunian put on a cautious smile, "Yunyan, could you please not push me away and give me a fair chance!"
"A fair chance?"
A look of confusion flashed in Li Yunyan's eyes.
Xia Xiunian leaned closer to her, his tone both serious and tinged with a hint of bitterness, "At least with me, you have to treat me the same way you treat Jiang Bozhou, without showing favoritism."
So this is the competition?
Li Yunyan suddenly had the illusion that she was being outmaneuvered.
It seems like she's the one who needs to do the mission?
Looking at his serious face, Li Yunyan felt that what he said made a lot of sense, but at the same time she wondered if she was too easily convinced and if she seemed to have a weak stance.
And then there's Jiang Bozhou. She had just decided to win him over, and before she could even start, Xia Xiunian interrupted her!
Should this plan continue?
Li Yunyan moved her body back, leaving the area surrounded by Xia Xiunian's aura.
Her voice was soft: "Let me think about it!"
"good!"
Xia Xiunian knew her personality and didn't want to push her too hard. Since she had already agreed to consider it, he had a chance to get closer to her!
Sincerity can move mountains; he believed he could definitely win her over!
The carriage returned to the courtyard. Seeing Xia Xiunian dawdling and unwilling to leave, Li Yunyan chuckled and said, "You don't necessarily want me to treat you to a meal, do you?"
"no!"
Xia Xiunian shook his head. How could he let her cook? Then he thought that she might have eaten lunch with Jiang Bozhou, and a pang of jealousy welled up in his heart.
He suppressed his bitterness and gave her a smile. "Then I'll be going now. I'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Li Yunyan nodded.
Then I watched helplessly as he opened the door to the neighboring yard.
