From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 15 - After the Canceled Engagement, Li Yehan Pursues His Wife Again
Chapter 15: Chapter 15 After the Canceled Engagement, Li Yehan Pursues His Wife Again
Chapter 15 -15 After the Canceled Engagement, Li Yehan Pursues His Wife Again
Li Yehan’s emotions were tangled as he looked at Nan Qiao with increasingly intense eyes.
Old Mr.
Li was momentarily disappointed, but then his mood lifted remarkably, “Qiaoqiao, this is fate.
When you were with the Zhou Family, your fiancé was Ye Han.
Once you came to the Bai Family, Ye Han canceled that engagement.
Isn’t that a coincidence?
Rounding it up, your fiancé is still Ye Han.”
Li Yehan’s lips curved into a doting smile, “Grandpa makes a lot of sense.”
Nan Qiao: …
Bai Zhenyang & Chen Xinwan: …
Bai Yurou: ?
This shouldn’t be considered a coincidence, right?
Nan Qiao politely explained, “Mr.
Li has already called off the engagement, and I am not in any engagement with Mr.
Li.”
Old Mr.
Li replied, “That can be arranged, just look at how well-matched you two are, how fitting.”
Old Mr.
Li’s words did not embarrass Li Yehan; rather, he felt it was necessary.
With an unchanged expression and passionate eyes, Li Yehan said, “My grandpa makes a lot of sense; I can continue with the engagement at the Bai Family.
We younger generations must abide by our elders’ arrangements.”
Bai Zhenyang was utterly confounded, what was Old Mr.
Li really up to?
Thinking of his daughter’s happiness, he, as a father, had to step up immediately!
He had heard that Li Yehan was decisive and ruthless.
His precious, fragile daughter, could she end up being abused if she married into that family?
No, for his daughter’s happiness, he had to break up this pairing!
Bai Zhenyang straightforwardly said, “Uncle Li, although this situation is coincidental, Qiaoqiao has just been found and she is still young.
Let’s talk about marriage later.”
Chen Xinwan nodded in agreement, “My daughter is still young, she’s just preparing for her college exams this year.
Let’s discuss other matters later.”
Nan Qiao’s opinion of Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan improved even more, proving indeed that biological and adoptive parents are completely different.
If it had been Zhou Hongqi, he would have agreed obsequiously.
But Bai Zhenyang respected her choices, allowing her to decide for herself.
The stark contrast made it easier for Nan Qiao to accept Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan.
Nan Qiao looked at them with particularly joyful eyes, which greatly pleased their hearts.
Politely, Nan Qiao said, “I am currently not interested in romantic relationships; moreover, I am young and need to prioritize my studies.”
Seeing that he couldn’t sway the situation, Old Mr.
Li could only sigh, “Qiaoqiao is the best girl I’ve ever seen, considering marriage seriously is only right.
If that’s the case, let the two spend more time together, and may love eventually blossom.”
“Alright,” Li Yehan was the first to agree.
The atmosphere grew somewhat ambiguous and awkward.
Bai Yurou’s emotions were churning, and she felt like murdering Nan Qiao!
Was Old Mr.
Li’s remark a slap to her face?
Wasn’t she good enough?
Was Old Mr.
Li deliberately trying to please Nan Qiao and embarrass her?
She had always been chasing Li Yehan and trying to win Old Mr.
Li’s favor, and now she was just a joke?
Bai Yurou took a deep breath and managed to speak, “Sister, congratulations.
Even though you were rejected by the Zhou Family, the engagement is still yours once you returned to the Bai Family.”
Nan Qiao detected the resentment in Bai Yurou’s words, was she blaming her?
Confused, Nan Qiao thought that matters of the heart couldn’t be forced, and she hadn’t agreed to continue the engagement with Li Yehan.
Nan Qiao responded, “If you want it, take it.”
Bai Yurou: !!
She had never seen a woman who spoke so rudely!
Could this country girl understand the underlying message in her words?
Bai Yurou was somewhat panicked, unsure if Nan Qiao was an easy person to deal with.
Just as she was about to speak, Li Yehan interjected and metaphorically slapped her, “I don’t want to give her away.”
To put it bluntly, even Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xin felt embarrassed.
However, the couple had always known that Bai Yurou liked Li Yehan, but Li Yehan had never given Bai Yurou any response over the years.
They had also advised Bai Yurou that a forced melon isn’t sweet, and given Li Yehan’s violent temperament, they were even more opposed to Bai Yurou marrying Li Yehan.
But today, they had discovered another side of Li Yehan that made them suspect for a moment whether Li Yehan had been possessed.
In such an awkward situation, Old Mr.
Li coughed lightly and explained, “Yurou, I’m really sorry, Yehan is just too blunt.”
Bai Yurou: …
Great, Old Mr.
Li knows how to twist the knife!
What does being blunt mean?
Is this Li Yehan’s true feelings?
Is it only Nan Qiao that he wants?
…
Old Mr.
Li and Li Yehan had dinner at the Bai Family’s home.
At the dinner table, Li Yehan’s slender fingers picked up a shrimp, and even the motion of peeling it was elegant and composed.
After peeling the shrimp, he placed it on the plate in front of Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao said, “Thank you, I can peel it myself.”
Li Yehan said, “You eat, I’ll peel.
It’s not good to get your hands dirty.”
His voice, magnetic and exceptionally pleasant, made Nan Qiao, who was sensitive to voices, feel overwhelmed.
Seeing Li Yehan being so attentive, Bai Zhenyang was worried, “My dear, let daddy peel the shrimp for you.”
Chen Xinwan said, “I’ll peel it for our daughter.”
Only they could peel shrimp for their daughter!
Chen Xinwan peeled two shrimps, gave one to Bai Yurou and one to Nan Qiao.
Bai Zhenyang did the same, giving one shrimp to each daughter.
Seeing Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan so resistant towards him, Li Yehan could understand their feelings, as Nan Qiao had just been found and they were afraid of someone taking her away.
Old Mr.
Li said cheerfully, “I really envy Old Bai for having such sensible, clever, and adorable granddaughters.
Not everyone is blessed with this.”
Speaking of Old Bai, a worried expression covered Bai Zhenyang’s face: “Unfortunately, my dad refuses to come back.”
“Zhenyang, how is your mother doing?
It’s been a while, has there been any improvement?”
Bai Zhenyang shook his head, “The situation isn’t very optimistic.”
Old Mr.
Li narrowed his eyes, “Zhenyang, I think you need to transfer her to another hospital.
Who is in charge of her case?
That’s just a quack doctor, you must change!”
Bai Yurou: …
She felt her face burning with pain.
Bai Yurou awkwardly said, “Grandpa Li, the doctor in charge of grandma’s case is me.”
Old Mr.
Li was startled, but showed no sign of embarrassment; instead, he calmly persuaded, “Yurou, not everyone has a medical gift.
Why hasn’t there been any improvement in your grandma’s condition at all?
Is it because the responsible doctor isn’t attentive?
Lacks medical skills?
If that’s the case, you should change your grandma’s doctor.”
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan hadn’t considered this aspect before, since Zheng Qin’s situation was indeed not optimistic.
Since Nan Qiao’s return and their discovery of the true situation, they hadn’t dared to stir things up.
Bai Zhenyang said, “We’ve already planned to transfer my mother to another hospital, to have another doctor treat her.”
Bai Yurou’s heart instantly panicked.
Once they replaced the old lady’s doctor with one who was highly skilled in medicine, the true condition of the old lady would surely be revealed.
Bai Yurou blurted out, “Dad, Grandpa Li is absolutely right.
Let’s change Grandma’s doctor, perhaps there will be improvement.”
Listening to Bai Yurou say this, Nan Qiao couldn’t help but give her a glance.
Could she have been wrong?
Did this matter really have nothing to do with Bai Yurou?
Was Bai Yurou unaware?
Little did they know, at that moment, Bai Yurou had already thought of a solution to this issue.
