Old man Yu was very surprised at Xiaolei’s offer. He never thought that she would be the one to suggest this herself.

  He had been thinking about this since he received that depressing call but he knew that this was too much for her. How could he make her marry an unconscious man? Even if she agreed to marry him, asking her this was a little too much! However, he also knew that they had almost no other choice left at this moment, and that was why the old man had been preparing himself to shamelessly ask her to marry his grandson tonight. He even already made a plan B that if Luo Xiaolei rejected his offer, he would have to force her or beg her or offer her anything just to make her agree. He even thought about using the little buns, who were in his house right now, if all things failed. He was aware this was cruel and unfair for her but he didn’t have any other choice. He was more than ready to be hated or cursed by Luo Xiaolei as long as he could save his grandson and the empire. There was just no more choice left. But then, to his surprise, she had suggested it herself! This was utterly unbelievable.

  "Xiaolei…… I am extremely thankful for your offer. I’m so sorry. I know I should be telling you to think about it first but forgive this old man because I’m not going to give you time to change your mind. I’m sorry…… you are such a very nice lady…… you deserved a proper wedding ceremony……" The old man was holding Luo Xiaolei’s hand with both of his. His face was filled with guilt and sorrow. He was so emotional that his eyes were watering. If only his grandson was awake right now…… this amazing lady wouldn’t have to go through something like this……

  "It’s okay. Please don’t feel you need to apologize to me." Luo Xiaolei replied smiling at him. "I can always marry him again once he wakes up. What we have to focus on right now is to solve this problem at all cost. Please don’t worry about me. I fully understand the situation and haven’t I already given you my word? I will do anything for him…… anything."

  "My dear granddaughter…… you are definitely the angel in Yu Chen’s life. I truly believe that you are the one heaven has sent down for my unlucky grandson. Without you, I really don’t know what to do at this moment anymore." The old man finally teared up. He was truly desperate and she knew that his every word came from deep in his heart. She would never have thought that this emotional old man was the same man who was once called the emperor of business world.

  But what he said made Luo Xiaolei’s heart squeeze in pain. She knew she was no angel in Yu Chen’s life. Since they were young, all she brought him was pain. She was the angel who brought him disasters back then and until now……

  She couldn’t help but think that it would have been better if she never appeared in Yu Chen’s life. If she didn’t insist on following him in the woods when they were young, maybe, Yu Chen wouldn’t have had to suffer this much.

  Feeling even more pained, Luo Xiaolei embraced the old man again. Both of them were really emotional and for the first in a very long time, Luo Xiaolei felt that nice feeling of hugging ones very own grandfather.

  As soon as the old man calmed down, another soft sound pulled their attention towards the door. Gu Jinyang entered as an old man in a black suit followed him. He was holding an attaché case and he looked like a veteran attorney.

  "Xiaolei, this is our family’s attorney, Yang Yaoting. Yaoting, this is Luo Xiaolei, my grandson’s fiancée." Old man Yu introduced them to each other, gesturing casually with his hand.

  "It’s very nice to finally meet you, Miss Luo," Yang Yaoting said sincerely.

  "Thank you, nice to meet you too, Mr. Yang."

  After accepting his handshake, they then sat across each other on the couch before they immediately started the talk.

  The old man didn’t beat around the bush anymore and stated the plan to the attorney. However, in the middle of the old man’s statement, the attorney politely interrupted him.

  "Uhm…… Master Yu…… actually, I have something to reveal to you and Miss Luo about this matter." The attorney said and both Luo Xiaolei and old man Yu looked at each other in confusion.

  "What is it?" Old man Yu asked, frowning hard at him.

  "The truth is…… we don’t need to fake anything because everything is already ready." He said as he brought out something from inside his attaché case.

  The lines on the old man’s forehead deepened.

  "Everything is ready? What do you mean?" he asked again. He had just called this old attorney minutes ago. He called him here so they could make the necessary arrangement tonight but he was already declaring that everything was already ready? When did he even prepare anything?

  The confusion was truly getting out of hand. Even Gu Jinyang was puzzled by the attorney’s words. Apparently, none of them understood what he was saying at that point in time.

  But as soon as the attorney put a piece of paper in front of Luo Xiaolei and old man Yu, a deep deafening silence crept inside the room.

  Luo Xiaolei was horrorstruck as she looked at the paper. But it wasn’t just her, even Gu Jinyang and old man Yu were dumbstruck with what they saw.

  They looked almost frightened.

  "W-what is the meaning of this?" Luo Xiaolei stammered, breaking the impending silence.

  Her lips trembling and her eyes remained fixated on the marriage certificate that had her name, which was still un-signed and then Yu Chen’s name that were already signed.
