Chapter 3 Arranged Marriage



Shen Bai followed his gaze and saw that the dressing room contained clothes, hats, shoes, and various accessories and jewelry.

Of course, they were all boys.

What caught Shen Bai's eye was that many of the clothes here were in a traditional Chinese style, which he really liked.

He took off his pajamas and put on the clothes Song Yun had given him.

The sky-blue clothes fit him perfectly, and he tied his long hair back with a matching ribbon, making him look like a young nobleman from ancient times.

Shen Bai opened the door and went out.

Song Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Bai come out.

This outfit suits him perfectly. Shen Bai is handsome and has a gentle, obedient demeanor.

"It's really beautiful," Song Yun said sincerely.

Shen Bai nodded in agreement.

He gestured with his hands in sign language, saying, 'Thank you.'

He then noticed that Song Yun had also changed his clothes; he was wearing a black suit, a tie, and leather shoes, making him look even more handsome and composed.

Song Yun led Shen Bai out of the room and waited downstairs for a while.

Footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Shen Bai turned his head and saw two well-dressed, gray-haired elderly people.

These are his grandparents, and behind them are people he has never seen before.

"Xiaobai, are you alright? It's all your grandfather's fault; the people he sent couldn't bring you back."

After saying that, Madam Shen said to Song Yun:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Song. If it weren't for you saving my Xiaobai, I wouldn't know what to do. These are some small gifts we prepared as a token of our gratitude for saving Xiaobai."

Their assistants behind them put down some gift boxes.

Song Yun raised his hand, smiled, and said:

“We’re all family, Grandpa and Grandma, there’s no need to be so polite. Let’s sit down and talk it over.”

The two elderly people were business people who spent many years in the business world when they were young. The Song family is one of the top families in China.

In terms of net worth, Song Yun ranks among the top in the world.

The Shen family is far superior to them, and although the couple is of a certain age, it is impossible for Song Yun to call them grandpa and grandma.

The two elderly people frowned and looked at each other, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

Song Yun had his servants bring over the finest tea and desserts.

He naturally handed Shen Bai a small cake and placed the tea in front of him.

Shen Bai didn't want to eat it; he wanted to go home with his grandparents.

But the cake looked delicious, and the little bunny pattern on it was so cute, all pink and tender, it looked so yummy.

He couldn't resist taking a small bite.

It's really delicious, so I'll have a little bit more.

The two elderly people couldn't refuse Song Yun, so they picked up their teacups and took a small sip.

Mr. Shen is a connoisseur of tea. As soon as he tasted the hot tea, he exclaimed that it was excellent tea.

Song Yun's smile widened as he took a document from his assistant.

"Grandpa and Grandma, to be honest, I plan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Xiaobai to get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

"Pfft...cough cough cough."

Grandpa Shen spat out his tea as he watched Song Yun coughing uncontrollably.

"Oh dear, are you alright, sir?"

Madam Shen quickly patted Mr. Shen's back, then realized what Song Yun had said.

"What did you say? Mr. Song, you can't just make jokes like that."

Her face was filled with disbelief. Although same-sex marriage laws had been passed several years ago, and they were not old-fashioned people.

But, but Shen Bai is the grandson they searched for fifteen years to finally find.

She hasn't even gone home yet, how can she be getting married already?

Song Yun seemed to have anticipated the elders' opposition, and placed the documents in front of them.

“A few days ago, your eldest son, Shen Songyuan, had a problem with the project he was working on with us. He promised a marriage alliance between the Shen and Song families, and I hope the marriage partner will be Shen Bai.”

Old Master Shen's chest heaved violently, as if he were about to pass out at any moment.

Song Yun's private doctor was standing right there, so even if Old Master Shen wanted to pretend to faint, he couldn't.

The two elders of the Shen family looked at Shen Bai.

At this moment, Shen Bai didn't listen to what they were saying at all and was still eating the small cake bit by bit.

Song Yun pushed the now-cool tea towards him and said softly:

"Have some water."

Shen Bai looked at him with her big, wet eyes, then picked up her tea and took a sip.

It's not sweet, but it tastes great, and even a novice likes it.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I won't mistreat him. You know the Shen family's current situation better than I do. Do you really think Shen Bai will be happy if he goes back?"

They had certainly considered the situation Song Yun described.

Shen Bai's parents were their youngest son and daughter-in-law, who died in an accident fifteen years ago, and Shen Bai himself also disappeared.

They searched for Shen Bai for fifteen years, but the Shen family...

Now that they have retired, their three sons are fighting tooth and nail over who gets to kill them.

The two elders then divided the shares equally, and of course, Shen Bai also received a share.

But can Shen Bai really hold onto those shares?

They also investigated what happened yesterday; it was done by the eldest son's family.

They were all somewhat regretful that they should have brought Shen Bai back after he had just come down the mountain and encountered such a thing.

"well."

Old Master Shen sighed deeply. For the first time in his life, this old man, who had worked hard for most of his life, felt useless.

“If you are still not at ease, I can sign an agreement. If I betray him in the future and divorce him, I will give him half of the Song family’s assets.”

The two were somewhat shocked. They had thought Song Yun was just talking, but to their surprise, his assistant immediately pulled out an agreement.

That was the Song family's property. Now, the Song family only consists of Song Yun and his younger sister Song Shuyao, who is studying abroad.

Song Yun's parents have always lived abroad, so there shouldn't be any conflicts between her and her mother-in-law after she marries into their family.

Madam Shen was somewhat tempted.

I don't know what her grandson went through, he can't speak, and... he's very innocent.

If they die in the future, the child doesn't know what to do.

Now that we have this opportunity, we might as well find someone to protect him.

And Song Yun was indeed the best choice.

After all, he is powerful, influential, and extremely wealthy.

Even if there's no love between them, Song Yun will definitely protect Shen Bai if she marries him out of consideration for his reputation.

Seeing that they had calmed down, Song Yun was not in a hurry and just drank tea to the side.

"Why him? There are so many daughters of prominent families in the capital, what is your purpose in choosing Shen Bai?"

Madam Shen only wanted to know things that would benefit her grandson; she wanted to make sure that Song Yun wasn't just playing around for a while or looking for something new.

“I need a partner in name only. My grandmother should know the true colors of those people in this aristocratic circle.”

Madam Shen remained silent for a moment.

If Song Yun were to say something nonsensical about liking someone, she definitely wouldn't believe it.

But what Song Yun said is actually believable.
