Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 669: Probe

Zhuang Ning refilled Ye Cheng’s cup of tea as she said lazily, “Young Master Ye, please let me off. If that happens, you’ll be called an infatuated young master, and I’ll be labeled as the vixen who enchanted you.”

Ye Cheng looked at Zhuang Ning and said, “Zhuang Ning, I like you the most. You know my heart.”

Zhuang Ning smiled noncommittally.

Ye Cheng asked, “Zhuang Ning, if I marry someone I don’t love for the benefit of my family, will you still take me in like now?”

Zhuang Ning cocked an eyebrow as she said, “Young Master Ye, enough is enough. No matter what your reason is, it’s still a marriage. There’s no need to use family as an excuse. In any case, if you get married, we’ll sever our ties and have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Zhuang Ning drained her cup of tea after she finished speaking.

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and swallowed the words hanging on the tip of his tongue. Instead, he only said, “Zhuang Ning, you’re too stubborn.”

“Did I say anything wrong? If you have a girlfriend, and you still maintain a close relationship with your girlfriend, it’ll be too unfair for your girlfriend,” Zhuang Ning said.

Ye Cheng looked at her and asked, “You’re always thinking about others. When are you going to think about yourself?”

Zhuang Ning replied indifferently, “No, I’m also thinking about myself. After all, if people found out about it, I’d be labeled as the third party whether it’s true or not. It’d be too unfair for me to bear the blame. Hence, if you have a girlfriend, no matter your motives, I’ll back off to protect my reputation.”

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly before he said with a soft sigh, “Must you be so clear-headed and rational?”

Ye Cheng had to admit that Zhuang Ning’s words were reasonable, but he really did not want to accept them. Hence, he said again, “Zhuang Ning, can’t you try to consider that I really have no choice? My heart will always be yours. Other women are just tools. Zhuang Ning, I’m serious.”

Zhuang Ning looked at him meaningfully before she asked with a smile, “Do you already have a girlfriend whom you’re ready to marry?”

“No!” Ye Cheng denied immediately, feeling a little nervous.

Zhuang Ning looked at him silently for a moment before she said with a faint smile on her face, “Young Master Ye, I’m not surprised if you’ve already found a suitable marriage partner. However, please don’t drag me down with you. I have no interest in being a mistress so please let me go. Thank you.”

Ye Cheng could only smile bitterly.

Zhuang Ning switched the topic easily and asked, “Were you dreaming earlier? I heard you calling out ‘Ye Xin’. Did you dream about your sister?”

“Did I talk in my sleep?” Ye Cheng looked a little confused.

Zhuang Ning nodded. “I think you promised her to teach someone a lesson. You spoiled her a lot. Were you willing to help her teach those she didn’t like a lesson?”

Ye Cheng wiped his face before he leaned against the couch and said, “Yes, I spoiled her a lot. Whether she was right or wrong, no matter what she did, I always stood by her side. I’d support and back her up. I’d done terrible things for her.”

Zhuang Ning, who was listening quietly, asked, “Such as?”

Ye Cheng stopped talking as Zhuang Ning looked at him with a burning gaze.

Ye Cheng finally gritted his teeth and said, “For example, she told me to teach her manager a lesson because her manager refused to listen to her. I helped her deal with it. It was not a difficult matter anyway.”

Zhuang Ning’s face was already deathly pale at this time, but Ye Cheng, who was immersed in his memories, did not seem to notice it. She said in a somewhat frosty voice, “What happened to that manager?”

Ye Cheng shook his head. “She disappeared from the world…”

“So she’s dead?” Zhuang Ning asked.

Ye Cheng did not reply. After a long time, he finally said, “Maybe. After all, she had been disfigured. It’d be quite difficult for her to survive.”
