Lin Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing Shen Shi'en's words.
engagement?
Who would have thought that old bastard Lin Yuanlong would arrange such a marriage for him?
Why wasn't this mentioned when we were in Fengtian?
Afraid of getting beaten up?
Seeing Lin Yu's strange expression, Shen Shi'en thought he was angry, and his heart tightened. He quickly explained, "Young Marshal, please don't overthink it. It's all my fault, I've failed to raise my daughter properly..."
"Lord Shen, there's no need for that!" Coming back to his senses, Lin Yu smiled and said, "We live in a civilized era now, where freedom of marriage is encouraged. Let's forget about the old ways!"
He's already married, so even if the Shen family demands that the marriage be honored, he'd never agree. Since they've brought it up themselves, why not?
Upon hearing his words, Shen Shi'en breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, young marshal! You are a man of great wisdom and broad-mindedness, and you are destined for greatness. However..."
He gave an awkward smile and continued, "As for the Commander-in-Chief..."
Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain to the Commander-in-Chief that this was my own wish, and he won't blame you!"
Shen Shi'en nodded quickly and said, "Then thank you very much, young marshal!"
As he spoke, he took out a document from the table and said, "Young Marshal, this is the letter of annulment I prepared for you. It clearly states that you took the initiative to annul the engagement. This way, you can have an explanation to the Marshal when you return!"
Lin Yu nodded. He knew that Shen Shi'en was doing this to help him save face. Even if word got out, it wouldn't cause the Governor's Mansion to lose face.
He took the initiative to pick up a pen and sign his name on the annulment agreement.
"Alright, then please rest well, my lord. I'll be leaving now!"
"I'll take you there!"
Shen Shi'en personally escorted Lin Yu to the door. Lin Yu told him to stay and walked out alone.
After leaving the ward, Lin Yu went straight to the stairwell.
The elevator doors opened, and just then, Shen Manshu was pushed out of the elevator by her maid, Xiao Huan.
"Dr. Lin?" Shen Manshu's beautiful eyes lit up. "What brings you here?"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I've come to visit the Marquis!"
"Um, you've met my dad?"
Shen Manshu's heart pounded wildly.
Lin Yu was her sweetheart, and this was the first time he had met her father. She was completely unprepared and immediately felt a little nervous.
"So... you had a good chat with my dad, right?" Shen Manshu asked somewhat nervously.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "I had a very pleasant chat with the Marquis!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Manshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything, and I'll come back to help you with acupuncture when I have time!"
“Oh, okay!” Shen Manshu nodded obediently.
The two passed each other; she stepped out of the elevator, while Lin Yu stepped into it.
The wheelchair turned around, and Shen Manshu was about to say goodbye to Lin Yu when, unexpectedly, as the elevator doors closed, she caught a glimpse of the letter Lin Yu was holding.
"Isn't that... the letter of recommendation that Father prepared??"
Shen Manshu's beautiful eyes widened instantly, as if she had thought of something. But by then, the elevator doors had already closed completely and it was descending.
"Xiao Huan, quick, push me back to the ward!" Shen Manshu's heart trembled, and she urged him hurriedly.
Soon, Xiao Huan pushed her back to the ward.
When Shen Shi'en saw his daughter return, he quickly smiled and said, "Manshu, didn't you say you were going out for a stroll? Why are you back so soon?"
Shen Manshu hurriedly asked, "Dad, young marshal, has he come?"
Shen Shi'en nodded. "I was here. I just went out. If you had come back a little earlier, we would have almost run into each other!"
Buzz!
Having confirmed her suspicions, Shen Manshu's mind went blank for a moment. She then looked at the document in her father's hand.
"So, this annulment letter..."
Shen Shi'en smiled and nodded, "The young marshal has already signed it. He did so very readily and didn't blame us at all. Alas, I was narrow-minded and overthinking things. The young marshal and the marshal are both magnanimous heroes!"
Shen Manshu pressed the button and slid over, trembling as she took the document from her father's hand. Upon seeing the neat signature on it, tears welled up in her eyes.
"So you're the young marshal? Why didn't you tell me sooner..."
"Why!! Waaaaaah!"
Finally, Shen Manshu lost control of her emotions and shouted, crying uncontrollably.
This completely baffled Shen Shi'en. "Daughter, what's wrong with you?"
He really couldn't understand it.
Wasn't it this girl who told him to break off the engagement? Why is she reacting so strongly?
Shen Manshu raised her head shakily and choked out, "Dad, do you know? The Dr. Lin I like is the young marshal!"
"What??" Shen Shi'en was completely stunned, his whole body instantly frozen in place.
So it turns out that the doctor Lin that my daughter has her eye on is none other than the young marshal!
However, he broke off the engagement, which was quite a blunder.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi'en also wanted to cry.
I'm such a fool, I've driven away my son-in-law and shut my daughter out of happiness!
He said with a flustered and guilty expression, "Daughter, Dad doesn't know either, this..."
Squeak!
Shen Manshu didn't want to say anything more. She quickly spun her wheelchair around and chased after them outside.
"Oh, my daughter!"
Before Shen Shi'en could say anything, Shen Manshu had already vanished.
Before long, Shen Manshu arrived downstairs.
Lin Yu had already gotten into the jeep. Just as Feng Jiu was about to drive the car out of the parking lot, a wheelchair suddenly rushed over and blocked the way.
Squeak!
Feng Jiu quickly stopped, about to yell at him, but when she saw it was Shen Manshu, she froze.
"Young Marshal, it's Miss Shen!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then quickly got out of the car and looked at Shen Manshu, asking in surprise, "Miss Shen, is there anything else?"
With red eyes, Shen Manshu stared intently at him, pursing her red lips as she asked, "Dr. Lin, so you're the young marshal, right?"
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, acknowledging it.
Shen Manshu looked aggrieved and asked through gritted teeth, "Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Lin Yu was immediately embarrassed. "I originally planned to formally visit the Shen family after the Marquis woke up, so I didn't reveal my identity beforehand. Please don't take offense, Miss Shen!"
Shen Manshu shook her head. "I don't blame you. I just want to tell you that the annulment letter wasn't my intention. If I had known you were the young marshal, I would never have let my father annul the engagement! Because... I love you, Dr. Lin!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu froze on the spot.
