My Groom Ran Away

A weird smile appeared at the corner of the man’s lips.
Then as if he was indifferent, a warm and wide palm reached out and naturally held her while his other hand reached up to knock on the door.

A hoarse voice called out: “Please enter.”

The two people opened the door and walked hand in hand.

In the room the old man was leaning against his bed.

His face was haggard and thin but he still looked energetic.
When he saw his granddaughter, he revealed a kind smile: “YinYin came over.”

Ruan ZhiYin nodded her head.
She walked to the bed and carefully arranged the pillows behind him and then she started the introductions: “Grandfather, this is Cheng YueLin.
We… Just got married.”

Grandfather Ruan narrowed his eyes.
His face darkened: ” I heard Uncle Liu say, Qin Jue…”

Before he finished speaking, he took a look at Cheng YueLin on the side before he sighed and stopped talking.

Ruan ZhiYin clenched her palms and continued to smile and apologized: “Grandfather, I’m very sorry.
In the beginning the reason I agreed to marry Qin Jue was because of the marriage contract.
I wanted to respect your and Grandfather Qin’s faces… There are no feelings between me and Qin Jue.”

In everyone’s eyes, she and Qin Jue were only together because of the marriage contract.
As to what had happened while they were abroad, outsiders did not know the truth.

After repeatedly mentally preparing herself, she now looked very calm and she fully explained her “satisfactory” excuse.

When she mentioned “true love” and looked at the man next to her with a gaze full of “tenderness”, the other party thankfully cooperated well.

“… So you do not need to worry about me.
Unless, you really want me to be bound by that marriage contract for my entire life?”

Under Ruan ZhiYin’s instructions, these words had already been delivered to Grandfather Ruan first by Uncle Liu.
But he still had some misgivings.

But seeing her relaxed and with smiling eyes.
The old man’s eyes fell upon their intertwined hands.
He lightly sighed and in the end he did not say anything more and instructed the two people to sit down.

“Mister Cheng, right? You look a bit familiar.”

Cheng YueLin met the elder’s gaze and clearly responded: “My father is Cheng FengShend.”

Grandfather Ruan thought for a few seconds and then silently nodded his head.

Then he looked towards Ruan ZhiYin and gently said: “YinYin, can you see if the meal is ready yet? Please ask Uncle Liu to come up and call us when it is ready.”

Ruan ZhiYin knew that Grandfather’s words were meant to send her away, but she could not refuse him.
She could only secretly give Cheng YueLin a look before she got up and left the room.

But who knew, just as she went downstairs, she ran into Lin Cheng.

To be able to make Ruan LingFang fall for him, this man naturally had to be handsome.
Lin Cheng had thick eyebrows and large eyes.
Even though he was already middle aged, he still gave off an air of refinement and elegance.

The two people had just ripped apart their relationship over the phone.
Lin Cheng would not have pretended to be as kind as he was in the past and his eyes were cold and dark as he spoke: “YinYin, did President Cheng not come back with you?”

He is speaking to Grandfather.” Ruan ZhiYin looked at him indifferently and she no longer intended to keep acting with Lin Cheng.

“Heh, this play of yours needs to be performed well.”

Even if he was still feeling bitter about losing the benefits he would have obtained with his deal with the Yan Family, this was still the Ruan family home.
He could not actually argue with Grandfather Ruan’s beloved granddaughter.

His gaze lingered on Ruan ZhiYin’s clear and beautiful face.
He thought for a moment and then suddenly said: “YinYin, even though you did not marry into the Qin family.
When President Cheng gets “divorced”, your uncle will help you find a good marriage for you.
Lin Zhe likes you a lot.
Even if there is a day that Grandfather Ruan is not here, I will tell him to treat you well.”

Lin Cheng could be considered to have a good understanding of Cheng YueLin.

His father went bankrupt and went to jail.
But in a few short years, Cheng YueLin was able to turn his life around and rebuild everything.
His methods were ruthless and his eyes only looked at profits.
For these kinds of people, once the benefits of the marriage are exhausted, the marriage itself will also come to an end.

No matter how beautiful a woman, they would never be able to sway a heartless man.
Especially one who is only there due to the benefits it brought.
There would most likely be some sort of contract deadline between them.

He still had some feelings for his deceased wife.
If Ruan ZhiYin stayed quiet, he would not have obstructed her.
Even marrying his nephew can be considered giving enough face.
Even though it is not amazing, he would still provide some protection.

Ruan ZhiYin understood that Lin Cheng was currently warning her.
Once Grandfather is no longer here, she would have to rely on this Uncle.
Even though he had caused her marriage with the Qin family to fall through, she still needed to carefully consider whether or not she wanted to make him her enemy.
