  Xu Nuan looked at Grandmother Gu who was looking at her with her indifferent expressions and there was a mysterious kind of pride in her eyes as if she was expecting that she will accept her offer. 

  She blinked and forced herself from not laughing out loud. 'I didn't hear wrong, did I? They want me to get married to a guy of their choice? Hah, seems like they still think that I am the same Xu Nuan who will do anything just to get their affection. However, they don't know that she might not know how to cook or keep her mouth shut when needed but she knows how to cut the people from her life. 

  Grandmother Gu didn't notice the mocking look in Xu Nuan's eyes and continued, " You should listen to your elders and get married. The guy I have chosen for you, not only has a kind personality but also has an important background. You have heard the name of that big clothing brand, YJ right? He is the CEO of YJ Corporations. You're shocked, right? You must be thinking, how can you marry a person with such a big background but for that, you need to thank your sister Xingren for it." 

  Xu Nuan raised her brows upon listening to Grandmother Gu's words and glanced at Xingren who smiled back at her embarrassedly. 

  " Xingren is of the same age as yours but see how capable she is. She is in her first year of university and was about to start her own business. You're shocked too, right? It was Xingren's idea to launch our clothing brand. Gu enterprises have been working in many fields and have invested in other clothing projects as well but we have never thought of launching our brand. But Xingren is not only going to launch her brand but she also managed to secure the investment from the CEO of YJ corporations as well." The old woman announced Xingren's achievements to her proudly. 

  " However, if you get married to him, our family will not only have business connections but familial relations with him as well. Isn't it great? Also, he has shown interest in you. After getting married to him, you will be catered and servants will roam around you and will take orders from you. You will be the Mistress of that big Mansion and also be addressed as the Madam of YJ Corporations." she smiled sneakily and patted her hand excitedly. 

  "……"

  Xu Nuan's lips sneakily curved into a mocking smile as she couldn't contain it for long. ' Is she talking about my marriage or hers? Why is she more excited than me?' Xu Nuan pursed her lips and bit her lower lip to not laugh at her hypocrite attitude. 

  She took a deep breath as she finally understood what they're trying to do. There is no way that Xingren would be happy to see her becoming the Madam of YJ corporations. Because she also knows the name of the company and in the clothing industry, and it's a big deal to become the Madam of YJ corporation. 

  Although she doesn't give a damn about that petty wealth because she is capable of creating a business empire bigger than that corporation. However, Xingren does. During the time she has observed Xingren, she has noticed that she has a strong and aggressive competitive spirit and she tends to become violent when things don't go her way. 

  She is a type who doesn't want to think as inferior to others and wants to sit at the canopy of power. However, a person like her wants her to marry the CEO of YJ Corporations?

  Xu Nuan looked at Xingren and said, " Xingren, I have to thank you for worrying about me so much. You're really a 'true sister'." she said with a smile which made Xingren uncomfortable. 

  Her smile widened as she leaned forward while sitting on the single couch and said, " However, you don't need to worry about my marriage. I am doing great on my own and I want to find a suitable guy for me myself. You don't need to worry about me and enjoy your life."

  Grandmother Gu frowned, " Xu Nuan, how can we do that? We're family after all. We should take care of you, you're a 'Gu', our blood. It's our right to worry about you."

  " Grandmother Gu, why are you getting so anxious about my marriage so suddenly? Just like how you guys have ignored me till now, just continue to do the same in the future as well. I have no desire to be the Madam of YJ Corporations." she stated, which caused Xingren's expressions to turn grim.

  " Xu Nuan, are you going to be like this? Xingren was thinking about you and you're trying to make Xingren feel bad. You're such a thankless snake, you don't deserve anyone's pity." Lin Ran commented and gritted her teeth in anger seeing her cheeky attitude. 

  Xu Nuan scoffed and continued, " Mrs. Gu, don't pity me. I am not the type to be thankful for such affection. Also, please don't come in the future bringing such stupid offers of giving me away to someone else in the name of marriage for your business relations. I won't be so nice to offer you guys tea the next time."

  She stood up and looked at Grandmother Gu confidently, " Also, when did I say that I am single? I also have a boyfriend, so please refrain from playing such stupid games with me." she said politely to the old woman while her eyes were glaring at Xingren sitting beside her. 

  " Hah! Boyfriend and you? Xu Nuan, do you think that we're stupid? Do you think we don't know that you're just trying to cover up and was making a lie? Xu Nuan, you can't get away with it. You have no choice but to follow the arrangements of your marriage made by me. I am the head of the family and have every right to make such big decisions." she announced authoritatively. 

  Lin Ran also nodded, acting as a good daughter in law. 

  Xingren stood up and held Grandmother Gu's hand and shook her head with tears in her eyes that were on the verge of falling, " Grandma, please don't be so harsh on sister Xu Nuan. If she doesn't want to marry then let it be. We can't say anything if she has a boyfriend."

  " Xingren, don't think about her. She is just making it up. Which guy will date her? These days you need to be capable of dating as well. And she doesn't have that capability." Lin Ran scoffed while throwing daggers at Xu Nuan with her gaze only. 

  " Sister, I am sorry that things turned out like this. But let's do one thing, next month Gu Enterprises are going to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the company. We're going to throw a big banquet, so you can bring your boyfriend at that time and introduce him to everyone. This way, no one's gonna force you for marriage." Xingren suggested while raising her brows, waiting for her to agree to her arrangement. 

  Grandmother Gu nodded and added, " Yes. However, if you failed to bring your boyfriend to the party and tried to lie to us again, then you will have to get married to whoever I ask you to. You can't get back at that time." 

  " And if I don't go to the banquet? What will you do?" Xu Nuan asked coldly. 

  Grandmother Gu smiled and responded, " Do you know how heartbroken your grandfather will be if you don't come to the family's important occasion? Also, if you didn't come to that banquet, then forget about meeting him again. So don't act like a brat and follow your elders' advice for once." she humphed and left while pulling Xingren with her. 

  Xu Nuan shook her head in helplessness and yawned after they left. " Well, I was not lying when I said that I have a boyfriend. I don't have one now but it doesn't mean that I won't be able to get one in the future as well." she smiled thinking about the date that is in a few days.

  She shook her head, trying to not think about Han Zihao's handsome face, and groaned in irritation, " Ahh, they ruined my whole mood. Now who will clean the mess that I created in the bedroom?" she plopped on the couch and wondered what to do with the clothes that she was trying to organize earlier since she has no motivation to clean anymore. 

  " Should I ask Mr. Han to help me?" she murmured while thinking about what she can do to clean the mess. 

  " No! I won't contact him unless he does it himself. Monkeys don't ask for help, they either play hard to get or attack. Since he isn't responding to my aggressive attacks, then it's time to play hard to get. Let's see which ones work better." she nodded and closed her eyes to rest her chaotic mind. 

  " Let's not stress over it and clean it tomorrow with a fresh mind. I need some rest now." she laid on the large sofa and fell into slumber in no time, not worrying about the mess she created in the process of cleaning.
