Chapter 2 – Why don’t you follow the pattern?
Soon, the two of them walked into a study.
At this moment, the elders of the Tang Family and the Su Family were sitting together discussing the marriage alliance.
Upon entering, the two greeted the elders one by one.
"Tang Yu, you're just in time. There's something we need to discuss with you. Just now, your Uncle Su and I had a chat and we think you and Muyue are a good match. We're planning to finalize your marriage. What do you think?"
A middle-aged man with a square face looked at Tang Yu and said. It was Tang Yu's father, Tang Gangcheng.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Tang Yu decisively refused.
Everyone in the room looked puzzled. Not appropriate?
Who in all of Suzhou and Hangzhou didn't know that this kid had been chasing after her for three whole years?
Tang Yu coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
"Dear elders, there's a saying that a forced melon is not sweet. I've been reflecting recently and realized that Muyue and I are not really compatible. Marriage is a lifelong matter. It's better to let us decide for ourselves. Thank you for your concern."
After saying this, Tang Yu felt much more relieved inside.
[Hehe, now I won't get beaten to death!]
The elders of the Tang Family and the Su Family were stunned.
After exchanging glances, Su Muyue's father, Su Chongshan, suddenly spoke.
"Little Yu, Uncle knows what you're thinking. Is it that Muyue forced you to say this? Don't worry, Uncle will handle this today."
"???" Tang Yu was dumbfounded.
Uncle, are you trying to get me killed?
"It's not like that, Uncle Su, I really..."
Tang Yu was about to explain when Su Chongshan waved his hand.
"No need to say more, Uncle understands you!" Then Su Chongshan looked at his daughter angrily.
"Muyue, tell me, how has Little Yu treated you these past few years?
He has been deeply devoted to you, taking care of you in every possible way. When you were sick and hospitalized, he stayed with you the entire time.
In terms of conditions and appearance, where does Little Yu fall short compared to you? And you still forced him to say such things? You're really going to drive me mad!"
Su Muyue, who was sprayed with her father's saliva, was dumbfounded.
What do you mean I forced him?
This guy is laughing his head off inside, okay?
[Come on, argue back! What are you standing there for? Let's team up and ruin this marriage so we can each go our own way. I can go find ten or eight girls and have a good time. If you don't argue back, I'm really going to be in big trouble. Do you still want to elope with your Dragon King Ye Chen?]
At the same time, the voice of complaint rang out again.
Seeing Tang Yu winking at her, Su Muyue got angry.
Bastard, one moment it's "your Ye Chen," what does he take me for?
Why should I elope with a bodyguard? What does he count for?
And hearing that this guy wants to find ten or eight girls made her even angrier.
You chased me for three years, and now you change your mind just like that?
"Dad, I didn't make him say that. I support the marriage."
In a fit of anger, Su Muyue suddenly spoke.
Su Chongshan, who was in a rage, was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "You're not lying to me?"
"No." Su Muyue shook her head.
Her face turned slightly red, and she bit her lip.
"He has been very good to me. I was moved by his sincerity. But I want to start with dating first, is that okay?"
"Of course, that's fine. Take it slow, one step at a time." Hearing this, Su Chongshan showed a relieved smile.
So it wasn't that his daughter opposed the marriage, but that Little Yu was worried about wronging her and wanted to give up the marriage himself.
This son-in-law is really considerate.
The elders in the room also smiled, sharing the same thought as Su Chongshan.
Tang Yu, who had been smiling just moments ago, now looked as if he had eaten something foul.
He walked up to Su Muyue, forcing a smile that was worse than crying.
"Muyue, you don't have to force yourself like this. I understand your thoughts."
Su Muyue bit her lip and whispered, "But my thought is to start with dating first."
"Little Yu, Muyue is just a bit cold and not good at expressing herself. Don't think she doesn't like you. Girls are all thin-skinned."
Su Chongshan patted Tang Yu's shoulder encouragingly with a kind smile.
Tang Yu's face twitched.
Meanwhile, Su Muyue's ears were filled with a string of angry complaints.
[You're out of your mind!!! We agreed to break the engagement!!!
Who the hell wants to date you! You should follow the feel-good novel plot! The Dragon King's harem is your destiny! Please, wake up and stop acting crazy!]
Hearing these inner thoughts, Su Muyue's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this guy so frustrated, she found it quite entertaining.
He was much more interesting now than his previous simp behavior.
"Alright, since they like each other, we don't need to worry anymore. Let's go out and announce it."
At this moment, Old Master Tang suddenly spoke.
Everyone left the study with smiles.
Tang Yu and Su Muyue walked at the back.
Seeing the slight smile on her face, Tang Yu wanted to punch her.
"Didn't we agree not to get married?"
He gritted his teeth and whispered.
"But I was moved by your sincerity." Su Muyue's smile grew brighter.
It was the first time Tang Yu had seen her smile at him like this, and he was momentarily dazed.
Then he reached out to touch Su Muyue's forehead, wondering if she was sick.
"If you're not feeling well, we should go to the hospital. Marriage is not a joke. Think it through."
Tang Yu said earnestly.
[Sis, if you're sick, get treated. If you don't see a doctor, I'll be seeing a coroner soon.]
"It's fine, I've thought it through. Besides, we're not married yet." Su Muyue said calmly.
"But I don't want to. A forced melon is not sweet."
"It's okay, as long as it quenches thirst." Su Muyue smiled even more happily.
Seeing this guy frustrated made her feel great.
She looked at Tang Yu seriously, "And you've changed so much suddenly. Is it possible that you have a terminal illness and are afraid of dragging me down?"
Tang Yu looked desperate, speechless.
This woman, why isn't she following the plot?
[She must have water in her brain. Now I'm really doomed because of her. Ye Chen will definitely come out and make a scene later. I finally became a rich, handsome villain, and now I'm going to lose it all? Damn feel-good novel plot.]
As Tang Yu's complaints rang out again.
Su Muyue became even more curious.
Will things really go as this guy's inner voice says later?
