An Official Astronomically-Priced Marriage! (1)

…even if what lay ahead was an eternal hell, she would still proceed without hesitation.2

As long as he was willing to change his mind and fall in love with her again.

Acting as if he did not see her pale face, Rong Yan continued, "Don't think that I don't know what you've done. You were the one who showed Anning's report to Grandpa and Mother. You were the one who naively thought that you had a place in my heart. What's more ridiculous is, what makes you think that even if Anning can't conceive, I'll have a child with you?"

Mo Xiyan's lips quivered and she said, "Yan, I know you still have feelings for me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have maintained the apartment as if I never left. What's more, you continued wearing our matching watches…"

Jiang Peihua sat on the couch and took a few sips of tea before heaving out a sigh of relief. Staring at the tension in the air, she nodded in approval at Rong Yan.

He was indeed born from her womb. He had the same preferences as her!

"Yeah, why do I have to keep the apartment like it used to be? Why do I have to wear a couple's watch?" Rong Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's because of these two bad habits that I now realize that Anning is the person I should cherish the most. Even if she can't give birth, she's still my wife! It's both right and proper for me to have married her!"

His handsome face was solemn and his deep voice echoed in the living room.

The servants were all shocked by his cold tone and took a few steps back. Butler Zhang still had a lingering fear after being strangled by him previously.

Seeing that Rong Yan was about to fly into a rage, he decided to keep a low profile in case Rong Yan got angry at him.

His coldness, his ruthlessness, his cold words, and his sharp gaze were like daggers piercing through Mo Xiyan's heart.

Mo Xiyan cried and questioned in a shaky voice, "You! How could you do this to me… How could you… I've been waiting for you for four years and I've missed you for four years. Yet, you abandoned me heartlessly… Why are you treating me like this?"

Why did he treat her this way?

What a joke. Who was the one who insisted on breaking up?

Although there was a misunderstanding, it was all in vain.

The woman in his heart was waiting for him to return home, not the woman who used to love him deeply but was now full of schemes.

"Mo Xiyan, you chose this path yourself. It was also you who erased the last bit of affection I held for you."

Rong Yan said coldly, "I'm going up to see Grandpa."

He then strode away.

As soon as Rong Yan left, Mo Xiyan began sobbing uncontrollably while Jiang Peihua watched on with joy.

"The heavens are watching what you're doing. There's a cycle of karma and retribution. Mo Xiyan, don't think that you can win the rascal's heart just because you've settled Old Mr. Rong," Jiang Peihua said coldly.

Mo Xiyan hung her head low and began bawling while clenching her fists tightly.

…

"Is Grandpa feeling better?"

Rong Yan leaned against the door frame of Old Mr. Rong's bedroom and asked the family doctor who was doing a checkup for him.

The family doctor put away the medical equipment and turned around to bow respectfully. "Old Master is recovering well. Because he's in a good mood, he's been in high spirits these past few days."
