The moment she saw the other person, Li Ruo's expression darkened.
Out of politeness, she stepped forward and greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Wen."
As she spoke, she nodded to Wen Zhi again, "Miss Wen."
In front of the old man, Wen Zhi was extremely polite, nodding gently to Li Ruo, and she really looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
When Grandpa Wen saw her, a smile of relief appeared on his face: "Ruoruo is here, please sit down."
As he spoke, he pointed to the seat opposite him and then thoughtfully poured Li Ruo a cup of tea.
Wen Changfeng, standing to the side, looked at the empty teacup in front of him and felt a little embarrassed, but dared not say anything.
Li Ruo was somewhat flattered and quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa Wen."
After all, Old Master Wen's attitude towards her had always been lukewarm, so his current amiable demeanor was truly rare.
Grandpa Wen smiled and nodded, then asked, "How's work been for Ruoruo lately?"
Why... did you suddenly ask about work?
Could it be that Wen Zhi complained about him?
Li Ruo was surprised, but on the surface she still maintained a well-behaved demeanor: "It's fine."
Are you busy?
Grandpa Wen nodded, looking straight at him.
Li Ruo thought for two seconds, then shook her head and said, "No rush."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Old Master Wen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then asked seriously, "Since you're not busy, when do you plan to marry Changfeng?"
"marry?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's eyes widened in surprise, and she subconsciously looked at Wen Changfeng.
He didn't mention marriage at all yesterday...
But Changfeng acted as if nothing was wrong, slowly turning his head to one side as if it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing his behavior, Li Ruo knew perfectly well that she had been deceived.
She frowned, about to speak, when she heard Grandpa Wen say again, "Your marriage was arranged by the family a long time ago. Now that you've both reached the age for marriage, let's put it on the agenda as soon as possible. Ruoruo, what do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's expression visibly stiffened.
"this……"
She was thinking about how to politely refuse when Wen Changfeng, who was standing next to her, preemptively agreed, "I think what Grandpa said makes a lot of sense."
Since it's all a business marriage anyway, it doesn't matter who he marries.
I used to think that Li Rao was well-behaved and sensible, and even knew how to lower herself to please him. She was so much better than Li Ruo, that blockhead.
But he had long since grown impatient with that woman's constant pestering.
Instead of dragging it out and making trouble for myself, I might as well choose someone Grandpa likes, which will please him.
"yes."
As soon as Wen Changfeng finished speaking, Wen Zhi chimed in, "The outside world already knows about your engagement. If we delay any longer, we might face criticism. Why not set a date as soon as possible?"
"I think..."
Li Ruo's expression changed, but before she could speak, Old Master Wen interrupted her: "I think it's okay."
Then he turned his gaze to Wen Zhi: "How about this, you find someone to look at auspicious dates in the next few days, see which day is suitable, and let them get engaged first, so that they can at least have an explanation to each other."
Wen Zhi was delighted with this: "Okay, I understand. I'll ask tomorrow."
Seeing that the three of them were about to make a decision on their own, Li Ruo's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
She has absolutely no relationship with Wen Changfeng, so why should she ask for an explanation?
At this moment, Old Master Wen suddenly remembered something, looked at Wen Changfeng, and warned, "You brat, don't cause me any more trouble lately. Spend more time with Ruoruo and cultivate your relationship!"
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Wen Changfeng was startled and quickly nodded, "I understand, Grandpa. I will definitely take good care of her."
"That's good……"
Seeing that he was relatively well-behaved, Old Master Wen's brows relaxed. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the butler's voice at the door: "Young Master, you're back?"
"Um!"
In the instant that brief hissing sound rang out, Li Ruo's body tensed up instantly.
It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly; why is he back?
Just as she felt a chill run down her spine and wished she could hide underground, the man's gaze fell upon her.
"Li Ruo?"
Wen Huaiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his thin lips pressed into a dangerous curve.
Didn't she say she had something to do today? Why is she here?
In the silence, Wen Zhi was the first to react.
She glanced at the guilty-looking Li Ruo beside her with an air of anticipation, and said excitedly, "Brother, you're back! We can have dinner together later!"
As she spoke, she walked up to Wen Huaiyan, took his arm, and headed towards the restaurant.
Wen Huaiyan glanced at Li Ruo, said nothing, and quietly shook off Wen Zhi's arm.
As it was almost time to eat, Grandpa Wen invited Li Ruo, "That's right, Ruo Ruo, why don't we eat and chat at the same time?"
But Li Ruo could no longer eat. All she wanted to do was escape!
Just as she mustered up the courage to refuse, the man, who had already taken a few steps, suddenly turned around: "Yes, it's getting late. Let's eat something. I'd also like to know what you two were talking about?"
