Xu Yi wanted it to be a real wedding so that his grandfather wouldn’t have any regret. He wanted the wedding to be organized in the way his grandfather wanted it to happen.

“Do you really want to plan your own wedding in a rush because of your grandfather?” Xu Che solemnly asked.

“Xu Yi, this is not a discussion. This marriage has to be a secret.” Xu Che stood up and left.

There was really no room for negotiation.

Xu Yi was still seated on the sofa as if he was completely undisturbed by his father’s warning. Lost in his own thoughts, he continued the motion of his fingers of rubbing them against her hand.

Fang Qing hesitated for a moment and thought she should chip in. “Mr. Xu, your father is right. Getting married in secret will not affect you in any area. It was my identity that put you in a difficult position. I’m sorry for that.”

Her heart was filled with guilt, as she had caused him trouble, after all.

Xu Yi stared at her with a straight face. “I’m thinking about my grandfather and me, not you. You can call me anything you want, but make sure you do not spill the bean in front of my family.”

The warmth in his hand disappeared, while the remaining warmth quickly seeped away because of the cool air.

Fang Qing stood up as well, showing that she understood.

She shouldn’t have said anything. Aargh!

Fang Qing’s good mood was gone too.

“Don’t feel troubled. At least, I picked you, and you’re not someone chosen by my family. I’m doing this for my future, and it has nothing to do with your identity.” Xu Yi explained as soon as Fang Qing joined him in the car.

Fang Qing was overwhelmed with mixed feelings all of a sudden. She felt that everything seemed unreal, although touched by his words.

“Okay, I got it.”

Xu Yi brought her to his residence and instructed the butler to bring her to her room. She was also to give her the key to the residence.

The butler explained as they made their way to the room she prepared for her. “There’s a few sets of new attire in the closet. You may choose one that fits and put them on. Young master will arrange to get you a new wardrobe later on. You may also let him know if you need anything else. Do come to me if you have any issue or request related to accommodation.”

Fang Qing nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

“My pleasure. This is our job.”

The butler smiled and brought Fang Qing back to Xu Yi. She reported, “Young master, I’ve already shown Miss Fang to her room.”

“Alright, take a seat. Go through the document. Sign in if you have no problem with the contract. Our cooperation will come to effect officially.”

After replying to the butler, the rest of his words were directed to Fang Qing.
