She didn't know how long she would have to wait, so she went to the kitchen and got a steamed bun: "I'll just have a steamed bun to tide me over. Don't worry, I'll definitely buy something to eat when I'm hungry."
"Okay, okay, take care of yourself. Don't come home too late."
"I understand, Mom," Wange replied before leaving the house.
…
When Wan Ge arrived at the agreed location, she discovered that the other party seemed to have found a very special restaurant.
When Wan Ge entered the private room, she saw a variety of exquisite breakfast items on the table.
Nian Yuechen gestured for the other person to sit down: "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? Try the breakfasts here, they're all pretty good."
Upon hearing what he said, Wan Ge picked up a delicate pastry.
The private room was decorated in an antique style, and even the snacks were exquisite, mostly traditional recipes passed down through generations.
Wan Ge took a bite; it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet but not cloying, with a subtle peach blossom fragrance. The traditional peach blossom pastry was indeed excellent.
Wan Ge once lived in a world where she studied pastries, so she knows the level of skill behind the pastries she eats now.
This store is indeed very well done; it's quite rare to see something like this.
"How does it feel?" Even though Nian Yuechen knew perfectly well how excellent this store was, he still couldn't help but ask.
Wan Ge nodded: "It is indeed delicious. These pastries are even better than those made by the chef I hired at home."
Hearing this answer, Nian Yuechen breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you like it. Other pastries are also good; you can try them all."
Wan Ge nodded.
…
"What are you thinking about?" Nian Yuechen looked at her, and after putting down her chopsticks, she kept staring at him.
Wan Ge replied, "I was thinking about how the rumors about you seem to be very different from the person you are now."
As the years passed, Chen thought of the rumors about himself. Because of his leg injury, he disliked others, didn't like people staring at his leg, didn't like discussing the topic, and sometimes didn't even want to see anyone.
Others probably perceive him as a rigid, serious, and boring person.
"What's different?"
Wan Ge propped her head up with one hand: "Everyone says that President Nian is cold and ruthless, and he doesn't even give his own father a kind look, but you seem to treat me very differently."
Nian Yuechen did not deny it: "They are indeed different. They were just passersby in my life, but you are the one I have chosen to spend my life with."
"When you say that, haven't you considered that I might refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Nian Yuechen lowered his head again: "So, is this your answer?"
What answer?
"The answer I gave you before when I said I wanted to marry you."
Wan Ge seemed to have just remembered that the other person had confessed to her, but she did not agree immediately because of her physical condition.
Wan Ge grasped his hand, but suddenly found herself unable to utter the words she had intended to say.
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Seeing the other person's reaction, Nian Yuechen immediately became worried.
Wan Ge shook her head. It seemed she was still affected and couldn't say what she wanted to say for the time being.
Wan Ge replied, "I'm already willing to go on a date with you, so I think you already know the answer."
I like him and I'm willing, but I can't tell him directly right now.
It's probably part of the character's setup; she's only supposed to like the male lead, Nian Tangyu, so she can't confess to anyone else.
However, if she can say that, then Nian Yuechen will surely understand.
As expected, after Wan Ge's reaction, Nian Yuechen immediately understood what she meant, and a happy expression instantly appeared on his face: "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Wan Ge found it somewhat amusing to hear the other person's thanks.
Thank you for being with me.
When Wan Ge heard him say that, she asked him in return, "Didn't you already guess this answer? You are the best choice for me."
Nian Yuechen was actually quite surprised that the other party would agree, after all, in everyone's eyes she had better options and there was no need to choose a cripple like herself.
Even with his exceptional business acumen, his leg limitation imposed many things on him. He often received strange looks from others, which is why he disliked interacting with people.
The old man clearly wanted her to choose one of the family's heirs. However, he had already lost his right to inheritance when he lost his legs.
Of course, although the old man later discovered his talent and wanted to call him back, but he refused, it cannot be denied that he did lose his right of inheritance at the beginning.
So even when the old man later discovered his uniqueness and wanted to call him back, he refused. Once a rift forms in some things, they can never be rekindled.
In his eyes, losing both legs also meant losing his inheritance rights, a fact that had long been a given.
No matter what the old man says, he can't go back to the past.
He was always the first one to be abandoned, and everything he has now is due to his own hard work.
That feeling of being abandoned and looked down upon may never fade away.
…
Nian Yuechen didn't say much, but simply asked her, "Why do you think I'm the best choice?"
There are many people of the same age, who are physically healthy and good-looking. Although they may not be as handsome as Nian Tangyu, they are all well-known handsome men in the industry.
Looking at the other person's godlike appearance, Wan Ge said, "You're so good-looking and so good at making money. Is there anyone in this industry who can compare to you?"
