Shi Wuxie left, and even Shen Lang didn't know how she left.
This woman entered like a gust of wind and left like a gust of wind.
Shen Lang, sitting opposite, found that he had merely blinked, and the woman had vanished from her spot.
Five minutes after Shi Wuxie left, Shen Lang's phone received a text message from an unknown number. The message was simple, containing only four words: Yun Ding Mountain Villa.
Shen Lang knew this message was from Wang Yuyan.
So, after receiving the message, Shen Lang took a taxi and headed to Yun Ding Mountain Villa.
Yun Ding Mountain Villa was a restaurant in the heart of Nanling City, specializing in home-style dishes and local snacks.
When Shen Lang arrived at the entrance of Yun Ding Mountain Villa, Wang Yuyan, dressed in snow-white, with a peerless beauty, was standing there waiting. The gentle breeze stirred her long hair, making her look even more elegant and magnificent standing in the wind.
"Husband, you're here?"
Seeing Shen Lang, Wang Yuyan smiled brightly and said.
"Uh..."
It wasn't the first time Wang Yuyan had called Shen Lang husband, but every time she did, Shen Lang felt a shiver run down his spine, and his expression became unnatural.
"You guy, I just called you once, why are you so nervous?"
Seeing the change in Shen Lang's expression, Wang Yuyan's pretty face turned cold, and she let out a huff.
"Don't be angry, I'm just not used to it yet. Alright, alright, call me whatever you want."
Seeing Wang Yuyan's slight annoyance, Shen Lang quickly tried to appease her.
"That's more like it."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan smiled charmingly and said, "My grandfather is waiting for you inside. Let's go in together."
With that, Wang Yuyan took Shen Lang's arm, and they entered together.
After passing through the main gate, Shen Lang and Wang Yuyan walked through a long corridor, finally arriving at a small room made of bamboo.
The room had bamboo tables and chairs, and Wang Yunchuan was sitting inside, slowly sipping tea.
"Xiao Shen, you're here?"
Seeing Wang Yuyan holding Shen Lang's arm by the doorway, Wang Yunchuan smiled and said.
"Old Master Wang, it's been a while."
Thinking of his previous offense towards Wang Yunchuan, Shen Lang felt a pang of guilt and said.
"Haha, it hasn't been that many days, actually."
Wang Yunchuan spoke, "Yuyan's maternal uncle is critically ill in the West Country. They are short of someone to manage affairs there, so I went to the West Country to oversee the situation."
"As for why your family's villa was sold, it's because I had already bought another villa in the city center and was preparing to move in."
"So that's how it is..."
Hearing Wang Yunchuan's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "It seems I was overthinking it."
"Haha, Xiao Shen, from the first time I met you, I knew you were the same kind of person as your master. You are powerful, but also suspicious, not trusting the people and things around you. You only believe what you think is right."
Wang Yunchuan chuckled, "This kind of personality will lead you to be autocratic and unwilling to listen to others. Therefore, I also gave you some time to discover the truth."
"What, do you still think I'm deceiving you into marriage?"
Hearing Wang Yunchuan's words, Shen Lang looked ashamed and said, "Old Master Wang, it was my fault for not understanding the truth of the matter before, which led to my disrespectful words. Please forgive me."
"Haha, no need for that. We're family from now on, so there's no need to talk about blame or not."
Wang Yunchuan stood up from his seat and smiled, "Come in quickly, don't mention these things again."
"Sigh... Old Master Wang..."
Seeing Wang Yunchuan's magnanimity, Shen Lang's guilt deepened. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Xiao Shen, I have a connection with your master, so I shamelessly asked him for your and Yuyan's marriage. On one hand, Yuyan is naturally pure and lacks scheming. If she becomes the head of the Wang family in the future, she will surely be plotted against and fall into eternal damnation. Therefore, I wanted to find someone to protect her for a lifetime of peace."
"On the other hand, she is my only family. So, I wanted to find her a trustworthy husband to entrust her life to. After seeing you three years ago, I knew you were the one."
Wang Yunchuan looked at Shen Lang and said, "If you and Yuyan marry, it will be a fortunate event for both you and her."
"However, I've also thought about this for a long time while in the West Country. If you are both unwilling, then this fortunate event will turn into a painful one."
"Therefore, I asked Yuyan to call you here today to give you and Yuyan a chance to choose."
Wang Yunchuan placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said, "Now, you and Yuyan can decide this marriage yourselves. If either of you opposes this marriage, then I will ask your master, Mr. Long, to cancel the engagement and prevent you from suffering."
After speaking, Wang Yunchuan first looked at his granddaughter, Wang Yuyan, and said, "Girl, speak your mind."
"Grandfather, I like Big Brother Shen. If I am to marry, I will only marry someone like Big Brother Shen."
Hearing Wang Yunchuan's words, Wang Yuyan spoke her true feelings without any hesitation or shyness.
Shen Lang was shocked to hear Wang Yuyan's words.
He never expected that Wang Yuyan, who had previously looked down on him as a country bumpkin, would have such a resolute attitude.
When Shen Lang looked into Wang Yuyan's eyes, he saw that they were filled with love.
Shen Lang knew that Wang Yuyan had fallen deeply in love with him.
"Xiao Shen, what is your opinion?"
Wang Yunchuan was very satisfied with his granddaughter's answer and then asked Shen Lang.
"I..."
Hearing Wang Yunchuan's question, Shen Lang was momentarily unsure how to respond.
In fact, this was the best opportunity to break off the engagement. As long as he said he wanted to break it off, Wang Yunchuan would go to his master to cancel it, and he wouldn't be crippled by his master.
After the engagement was broken, Shen Lang would be free to be with Yu Xiao, and marry her when she came of age.
Everything was going wonderfully, just as he had hoped, developing in the best possible direction.
However, seeing Wang Yuyan's expectant eyes, Shen Lang hesitated.
He could harm his enemies, and even annihilate entire clans without hesitation, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt a girl who deeply loved him.
Seeing Shen Lang's hesitation, a hint of pain flashed in Wang Yuyan's eyes. She said, "Big Brother Shen, follow your heart, don't force yourself. I... I don't mind."
"Yuyan... I... I must admit... I am moved by you."
Looking at Wang Yuyan, Shen Lang said, "If Yu Xiao is a ray of light in the dark valley of my heart, then you are a seed that has sprouted in my valley. I... I..."
Facing his enemies, Shen Lang, who could slaughter indiscriminately, became stammering and hesitant at this moment, unable to speak for a long time.
