Chapter 140 Be good, call it to your unfilial son
Upon hearing this, Yan Tingnan showed no displeasure; instead, a hint of a smile flickered in her eyes, as if she had expected her to say such a thing.
He leaned forward, placing his hands on the entryway counter on either side of her body, completely trapping her within his own aura.
"I know, I was too hasty."
He admitted it readily, his voice low and deep.
"At twenty-two, your world is just beginning, and the future is limitless. You shouldn't be bound by a marriage contract."
Yan Tingnan seemed to see through all her concerns, gently stroking her cheek with his thumb, interrupting her unfinished hesitation.
"I'm ten years older than you. If I propose marriage at this point, it sounds like I'm using my age and experience to lure an innocent young girl."
"But Ruanruan, I didn't act on impulse."
“The Yan family is no ordinary family, and the old man is no pushover either.”
"He can't make the marriage alliance move. The next step is to clear the obstacles."
"I must get ahead of him before he makes a move."
As he spoke, Yan Tingnan picked up the top equity agreement and pointed to the names of the core technology companies.
"These subsidiaries operate independently, and the core technologies are in my hands. Even if an earthquake were to occur at Qingyan headquarters, it wouldn't affect them."
"With ample cash flow, SoftVoice can expand without worry for the next five years."
"Make everyone who wants to mess with you think twice about the consequences."
"Marriage is not about locking you up, but about building the strongest legal barrier between you and me."
"Within this barrier, you are Mrs. Yan, enjoying all my resources and protection."
"Outside the barrier, you are still Su Ruan, the founder of SoftVoice, and you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want."
He put down the documents, cupped her face in his hands, and gazed at her with eyes as deep as the sea, almost drowning her.
"These are my most core, most liquid, and least vulnerable assets."
"Qingyan's waters are too deep; I cannot guarantee that every step will be foolproof."
"If... I mean if, in the worst-case scenario, I fall, these things are enough to ensure you a life of wealth and comfort, and no one can touch you."
"Ruanruan, I'm begging you to act legally, not to restrict you, but to give you the highest level of freedom and protection."
“I will not use my status as Mrs. Yan to restrain you, nor will I force you to have a child immediately.”
"If you want it, we'll take it; if you don't, we'll wait."
"I don't want you to conform to the Yan family's rules, and I certainly don't want you to sacrifice your career and be confined to the home."
"The household affairs are handled by the housekeeper, and I'll take care of the troublesome things."
"You just need to be your Su Ruan, my Mrs. Yan."
Su Ruan's breathing became slightly sluggish.
My heart felt like it was being soaked in warm, acidic water, both soft and swollen.
All hesitations and concerns were shattered by his words.
This man...
It's always like this.
We don't talk nonsense, we only do practical things.
He brought out all her hidden worries and all her possible hesitations, dissected them one by one, and offered the most appropriate solutions.
This isn't just a father figure, this is the king of fathers.
He planned every step meticulously and without missing a single detail, yet he gave her his only weakness and tenderness.
Su Ruan's nose tingled, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
The little deer in my heart had long since died.
This is it! This is it! You won't find another opportunity like this!
To hell with the 22-year-old plan!
If we don't get on board now, are we supposed to wait for the original female lead, Mu Chuji, to get on?
I'm going to get on the bus early and snag this amazing ride!
She took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled, her eyes a little red.
"Yan Tingnan, what kind of marriage proposal is this?"
"Where's the ring? Where's the kneeling?"
"Why would my teacher Yan want to skip the procedures that others follow?"
Yan Tingnan paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"I was confused because I was in a hurry."
He actually took a step back, knelt on one knee, and took out a velvet box from the inside pocket of his suit.
When opened, a diamond ring sparkles, the main diamond is cut extremely brightly, and it is surrounded by tiny pink diamonds, like being wrapped in a nebula.
"The ring has been prepared long ago, now kneel down."
He looked up, his gaze fixed intently on her.
"Ruanruan, give me a home, okay?"
"Life is long, but I want to fill your entire future."
Su Ruan looked at the dazzling diamond ring, then at the man kneeling before her, and her heart melted.
"I……"
She had just opened her mouth when the doorbell rang again.
Urgent, continuous, and with an unyielding stubbornness.
The two of them paused at the same time.
Su Ruan subconsciously looked at the video doorbell screen on the wall in the entryway.
Yan Yunye's face appeared on the screen, holding a huge bouquet of flowers in one hand and pressing the doorbell repeatedly with the other.
His hair was slightly disheveled, his eyes were red-rimmed, and the gauze on his forehead was particularly noticeable under the hallway lights.
"Ruanruan! I know you're home! Open the door!"
His voice came through the door, muffled and strained.
"I'll just say a few words! I'll leave after that!"
Su Ruan's sun throbbed.
He's here again.
The ghost lingers.
Is this never going to end?
"Song Shengsheng said you weren't with Shen Yu, so who were you then?"
"Tell me! Let me die knowing why!"
She was about to speak when Yan Tingnan stood up.
His expression remained unchanged; he merely chuckled and casually placed the ring box on the entryway cabinet.
"It seems someone doesn't want me to propose properly."
He grabbed Su Ruan's waist, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.
The kiss was forceful, grinding against her lips and swallowing all her unspoken words.
Outside the door, Yan Yunye's knocking became increasingly urgent.
"Ruanruan! Open the door! Let's talk!"
"Just five minutes! Please!"
Yan Tingnan's breathing became heavy.
As their lips and tongues intertwined, he spun her around and pressed her against the slightly trembling door.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Marry or not?"
Su Ruan was breathless from his kisses, her eyes reddening.
"Yan Tingnan, outside the door..."
"Let him hear it."
He bit her lower lip, cupped the back of her neck with his palm, and kissed her even deeper.
His other hand reached down, lifted her skirt, and brushed against her side.
"Will you marry me or not, hmm?"
Su Ruan's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up and had to rely on his arms for support.
Her eyes were glazed over, and her heart was pounding like a drum.
Outside the door, Yan Yunye's persistent knocking could be heard.
Inside the door was Yan Tingnan's forceful confinement.
The scene was both absurd and thrilling.
She suddenly hooked her arms around his neck and tilted her head back to bite his lips.
"marry."
Yan Tingnan's breath hitched, his eyes darkened, and he took her left hand, carefully slipping the diamond ring onto her ring finger.
"I'm stuck."
Outside the door, Yan Yunye's voice was hoarse, and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Ruan Ruan, why won't you see me?"
"Who is it...?"
Yan Tingnan suddenly pressed against her and slammed her heavily against the door.
The door made a dull thud.
Outside the door, Yan Yunye seemed to have heard the noise, and the knocking became even louder.
"Ruan Ruan? Who are you with?!"
"Open the door! I know someone's inside!"
Su Ruan let out a soft gasp, her nails digging into his shoulder.
Yan Tingnan pressed his lips against Su Ruan's, his low, husky command, laced with a burning heat, pierced her eardrums.
"Good boy, call him that so your unfilial son can hear."
