Li Shengyuan pointed at her nose as she scolded, while Jiang Mianmian twisted her head away coldly and ignored her.
The woman’s voice was becoming increasingly higher. Mianmian furrowed her brows. She began to create banging noises as she packed her luggage.
It caused Li Shengyuan to be beyond furious. She itched to slap her.
Just as Li Shengyuan was on the edge of exploding, the maid suddenly came by to pass on a message from outside the door. “Madam, you have a guest.”
…
General Zhan’s arrival startled every single person in the presidential palace. Even the president, who had just finished at a national defense conference, rushed back to the palace.
The president sat upright and still. “Mr. Zhan’s visit sure is sudden. Is something the matter?”
Li Shengyuan examined Jiang Mianmian, who hid in the corner with a guilty conscience. She wanted to sneer out loud, her heart set on waiting to catch a good show.
With the role that Zhan Muqian has and the fact that many notable rich young ladies were unable to claim any connections with him, she did not know what underhanded means did this little vixen, Jiang Mianmian, pull to taint him. But she brought about her own destruction for touching a respectable king from hell!
Zhan Muqian carried himself even better when he was dressed in casual clothes than when he was on the military site. He was modest and courteous as he spoke, “President, my last-minute visit and disturbance isn’t about work. It’s about… your daughter and me.”
While Li Shengyuan was waiting for a farce, Jiang Li became guarded at the side. Zhan Muqian’s tone did not sound like one that was about to criticize another.
The president frowned. “I’ve heard about the matter. It’s Mianmian’s fault. This child is arrogant and willful, and I’ve spoiled her as well. For her to do something… something so vile, I am truly heartbroken as a father. But she is young after all. If Mr. Zhan wishes to pursue this…”
Even though Zhan Muqian was speaking to the president, his dubious smiling gaze was on the girl by the corner.
“President. I am a man. Of course, I would bear the responsibility for the matter. Moreover, Mianmian is a young lady who is about to become an adult. It was I who didn’t watch myself properly.” Zhan Muqian looked at Mianmian with a meaningful glance. He continued in a steady and prudent tone, “I am here today to officially announce that I would like to marry Jiang Mianmian as my wife.”
“Pfft—” As the person involved, Jiang Mianmian could not bear to listen on any longer. She rushed toward Zhan Muqian, raising her chin as she looked at him with a face full of astonishment and angst. She was only short of stomping her feet. “Uncle, Uncle Zhan… You haven’t gone crazy, right? You really want to marry me?!”
D*mn it! Why did he want to get married just after a night of passion? Was she really living in the same era as Zhan Muqian?
The president was stunned speechless. He looked at Zhan Muqian, then at his daughter. It was really… really difficult to connect these two people together.
Li Shengyuan’s head exploded. Her voice was piercing to the ears. “How can that happen! Mr. Zhan, you… What status do you have? How can you marry her?… This, this is unbelievable!”
Jiang Li tugged at the corner of her mother’s clothes, cautious and afraid to speak.
General Zhan had admitted that there was a mutual attraction between him and Jiang Mianmian when they were at his living quarters in the military site. At that time, she thought it was a joke. But now, she could sense that something was not right. Could it be that Jiang Mianmian really had something going on with this high-profile man?
The curve at the corners of Zhan Muqian’s lips was elegant and refined. But Jiang Mianmian only saw the man before her as a two-faced, dangerous and sly old fox!
Expression unchanging, he said, “I was born in the military. Therefore, responsibility comes first. Since Mianmian gave her body to me, I must take responsibility for her.”
With that, he held Mianmian’s soft hand as if they were alone. “Mianmian, don’t be nervous. Be obedient.”
