Chapter 162 - 104 Follow Me
Ran Yan sat quietly in the corridor, furrowing her brows in thought for a long time before she slowly lifted her head and said to Ran Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, I cannot marry him."
Whether Sang Chen admitted to being a descendant of the Boling Cui family or not, outsiders believed it to be true; thus, the gold-lettered signboard above his head still shone brightly.
It wasn’t that Ran Yan was unappreciative, but she was responsible for her own life and the lives of others. Sang Chen was a good person and although he often enraged her, she hadn’t the heart to hurt him. Ran Yan hadn’t truly loved anyone in her past or present life, though she had secretly admired many. She knew very well the type of man she liked; being with Sang Chen out of obligation would only cause harm to both of them.
"Ah Yan..." Ran Yunsheng called her name but looked towards Madam Xing, meaning for her to quickly persuade Ran Yan.
Seeing Madam Xing nod, Ran Yunsheng said, "Think it over seriously, I’ll be heading back now."
Ran Yunsheng sighed. In fact, it was extremely difficult to disagree with this marriage. What kind of family was the Boling Cui family? Besides the Imperial Family’s Li clan and the Clan Leader’s Sun clan, the Boling Cui clan was effectively the top clan! With such an opportunity landing in the hands of the Ran family, the uncle and the elders would not let it go, even if it meant tying Ran Yan up and carrying her in a bridal sedan.
"Let me escort you; this area isn’t safe!" Ran Yan stood up and said.
Ran Yunsheng chuckled, "What are you saying? If I let you escort me out, wouldn’t I worry when you return later? Don’t worry, I have a dozen guards with me."
