Marrying the Wrong Mr. Right

Chapter 8 Playing in the Mood

After a long while, Chu Chengbi finally spoke, 'Alright, today is Haoran bringing Miss Shen back for a meeting, let's not make it unpleasant.' Chu Chengbi just wanted to tamp down Chu Haoxuan's anger. He knew his beloved grandson too well; his temper could spiral out of control at any moment. Hearing the old man's words, everyone tried their best to calm down. Shen Ningxuan looked at Ye Yanbin, but her heart was filled with hatred. Ye Yanbin, you have betrayed my love, and even slept with my sister. Well then, I will repay you with the identity of your aunt. I will make you regret losing me. Shen Ningxuan spoke, 'Little nephew, having your uncle is enough for your aunt. In my heart, I only love your uncle. He is my everything, my whole world.' These words settled the hearts of two men. Tears welled up in Ye Yanbin's eyes. Shen Ningxuan, she actually said she loved Chu Haoxuan. Could it be that his love for her all these years had vanished into thin air? Chu Haoxuan's heart was touched. Knowing full well that these words were just an act by this woman, why did a warm current rise in his heart? Shen Ningxuan reached out, wrapped her arm around Chu Haoxuan's waist, and drew even closer to him, then looked at Chu Chengbi with a calm smile, 'Grandpa, Ye Yanbin and I were university classmates before. Maybe he can't accept that I am now his aunt. I hope you won't mind.'

This explanation brought some comfort to Chu Chengbi's heart, but Chu Haoxuan remained silent without saying a word. 'So that's how it is,' Chu Chengbi said, looking at Chu Yanan and Ye Yanbin, 'Yanbin, since you are classmates, there shouldn't be any difficulty in getting along as a family in the future. It's not a big deal for a classmate to become an aunt, so don't feel too burdened.' 'But I,' Ye Yanbin was just about to say something when Chu Yanan quickly pulled him away. Chu Yanan hurriedly said respectfully to Chu Chengbi, 'Grandpa, Yanbin is young and ignorant, he might be a bit emotional, after all, it's his own classmate, please don't blame him, the protagonist of today should be Haoxuan and your granddaughter-in-law.' Chu Yanan's words shifted everyone's attention to Chu Haoxuan and Shen Ningxuan, allowing Ye Yanbin to escape from a predicament. Chu Chengbi smiled and said, 'Yes, Haoxuan, have you got the marriage certificate?' 'Not yet, the army is reviewing it, it should be just a few days,' Chu Haoxuan replied coldly, still preoccupied with the matter between Shen Ningxuan and Ye Yanbin. 'Well,' Chu Chengbi nodded, 'Have you met the Shen family in-laws?' Before Chu Haoxuan could answer, Shen Ningxuan directly said, 'Grandpa, I've already met my dad and aunt, they both agreed.'

“Alright, alright,” Chu Chengbi said with a face full of joy. This beloved grandson had finally done a fine family deed for him. Looking at this granddaughter-in-law, it shouldn't be a problem for her to bear several great-grandchildren. The descendants of the Chu family would no longer have to worry. At this moment, Chu Yannan also chimed in from the side, “Grandpa, looking at Miss Shen, she seems to be a steady child. I believe she will definitely be happy with Haoxuan, and it might not be long before the Chu family has some good news to share.” Everyone understood what Chu Yannan meant. Chu Chengbi had a smile on his face, but Chu Haoxuan was thinking to himself that it was only natural for his woman to bear him children. Shen Ningxuan had already grasped the implication of Chu Yannan’s words in her heart. She was being warned not to have any more contact with her son in the future. Previously, she had been against her relationship with Ye Yanbin, saying that she was the despised younger daughter of the Shen family, and now it was just as she wished. “Hehe,” Chu Chengbi laughed, “Haoxuan, do you understand what your cousin means? You and Ningxuan need to keep trying.” Chu Haoxuan tightly embraced Shen Ningxuan in his arms and said calmly, “Grandpa, don’t worry, I promise you’ll have great-grandchildren running all over the place,” and with that, he couldn’t help but glance at Ye Yanbin. Shen Ningxuan also cooperated by ignoring the gazes around her and snuggling in Chu Haoxuan’s embrace, “Husband, how can you talk about such things in front of everyone?”

Shen Ningxuan's face blushed slightly, a hint of shyness apparent. Chu Haoxuan affectionately stroked the face of the woman in his arms. This woman truly made his heart ache; he wished that their current pretense could be a reality, that she could snuggle in his arms for a lifetime. 'Hehe, good, good,' Chu Chengbi watched everything with his own eyes. This granddaughter-in-law, he had made up his mind about her. It was rare that his beloved grandson loved her just as much; he could see their sweetness. 'Lu Yu,' Chu Chengbi suddenly ordered. 'Grandpa,' Lu Yu quickly responded. 'Organize Haoxuan's wedding for me. Our Chu family's celebration must be lively and colorful. Invite everyone from the family compound,' Chu Chengbi said happily. 'I know, Grandpa, rest assured and leave it to me,' Lu Yu also looked happy, seeing that Haoxuan was not averse to Shen Ningxuan. However, he worried that if that woman came back, would Haoxuan still feel the same way? 'Good,' Chu Chengbi said, then turned to Shen Ningxuan, 'Granddaughter-in-law, have lunch here. I'll have someone prepare it.' 'Yes, thank you, Grandpa,' Shen Ningxuan said obediently. Seeing the old Chu leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Haoxuan had planned to help Shen Ningxuan back to his room, intending to question her about whether she still had feelings for Ye Yanbin in her heart. But before Chu Haoxuan could make a move, Ye Yanbin, disregarding Chu Yanan's obstruction, walked straight up to Shen Ningxuan, grabbed her hand, and then looked at Chu Haoxuan, saying, 'Uncle, your charade is over now, right?'

"Ye Yanbin," Chu Haoxuan called out angrily. "If it's over, I still have something to tell Ning'er," Ye Yanbin said, and was about to pull Shen Ningxuan out. Chu Haoxuan forcefully pushed Ye Yanbin's hand away from Shen Ningxuan, stepped in front of Ye Yanbin, grabbed his collar angrily, and roared, "Have you become too comfortable in your position as deputy governor? Have you forgotten how to respect your elders? She is your aunt by marriage," Chu Haoxuan emphasized once again, "From now on, you are only allowed to call her aunt. If I hear that nickname again, I will ruin your reputation." After saying that, Chu Haoxuan fiercely let go of Ye Yanbin, turned around, pulled Shen Ningxuan, and walked towards his own room. Chu Yanan and Ye Lianghan stood aside, not daring to speak. Chu Haoxuan's words meant that there would be real actions taken, and no one dared to offend him.
