The man nonchalantly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. His aura was heavy and cold. It caused women to peek at him and involuntarily avoid his gaze. This man appeared scary when he was quiet. What’s the use of having good looks? It was like it wrote “unreasonable” all over his face, and no woman dared to approach him. Yu Yang sighed helplessly and saw that Shen Jingmo helplessly replied to the messages. The dim light illuminated the side of his face, and the bottom of his eyes was a perpetual chill.

“In her room.” Uncle Chen took a few steps forward and added in a low voice. “Madam, Little Miss hasn’t come downstairs for the whole day. She hasn’t even eaten. It won’t help. Her body won’t make it if she doesn’t eat. Ask her to come down and have something to eat. I want to talk to her about her marriage with Shen Jingmo.” Madam Mu’s voice was soft and slow, and her tone was neither fast nor slow, with a gentleness unique to Southerners. “Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Xu to get her.” Uncle Chen went to the kitchen to call for someone. Madam mu placed her bag on the coffee table and started to worry about how she should tell Mu Qingyu about this.

“Little Aunt.” Mu Qingyu walked down the stairs with light steps and a bright smile. “You’re finally back!” “Uncle Chen said you stayed in your room the whole day and didn’t even eat. What happened?” Madam Mu put on a stern look, but her tone softened again. “You’re still so young. You don’t have to worry about the company’s affairs. If your eldest brother and sister-in-law knew you would marry that condescending Young Master Shen for our family, they would disagree no matter what…”

All these years, Madam Mu had almost granted her every request. She was afraid Mu Qingyu would fall if she held her in her hands and spoiled her as she grew up. Mu Qingyu honestly couldn’t explain her stomach ached after she ate the other night. Her stomach had been in pain for the whole day, so she wanted to empty it to clear her stomach.

In her aunt’s understanding, she was so worried about the marriage that she couldn’t even eat. Mu Qingyu hurriedly explained. “It’s not like that. Little Aunt, I’m willing to marry him.” Her biological parents died in a car accident when she was five. The second Mu couple had treated her as their own for the past twenty years. Now that the company was in trouble, she needed to help the family.

Moreover, Mu Qingyu had originally planned to remain single for the rest of her life. However, the Shen family’s search for marriage emphasized that it was only a marriage of convenience. After marriage, they would still go their separate ways. Both parties would not interfere with each other, and they did not have to be responsible for this marriage. It would be best if the other party did not like her. Wouldn’t such a married life be wonderful?

Mu Qingyu thought so, but her little aunt wasn’t as open-minded as her. Anyone would be worried if the child they had raised from a young age were to suddenly marry into a stranger’s family. However, Shen Jingmo didn’t show up at all yesterday, so the marriage should have been canceled. The next second, she heard Madam Mu say, “Madam Shen asked me out for tea this afternoon. We discussed your marriage.”

Astonishment engulfed Mu Qingyu’s face. “But… We haven’t even met!” ‘Why did the parents of both sides seem to be riding on a rocket?’ They had accelerated the progress to this extent. “Mrs. Shen likes you so much that you probably don’t remember. She even played with you when you were young.” Said Madam Mu.

When they were young, the Shen couple and Mu Qingyu’s biological parents were good friends for many years. Back then, after the Mu family’s first wife and husband passed away in an accident, Mrs. Shen was depressed for a long time. She had seen Mu Qingyu when she was young. She didn’t cry or throw a tantrum. She was a fair and pure baby with a pair of big eyes that blinked. Her heart had softened into a mess.

However, most of the Shen family’s business was in Yan City and maple leaf nation. After the Mu family’s second son became the head of the family and returned to Jingchuan City, the two families did not interact much. She didn’t expect that after so many years, the two families would have met again… Mrs. Shen’s heart truly ached for her good friend’s child. Mu Qingyu was gentle and soft, and she knew her well. And she once saw something in her son’s room…
