Sir, How About A Marriage?

"Childhood sweetheart?" Ye Cheng smiled bitterly. "How could there be such a romantic thing? It only exists in dramas and novels. I've never had such fantasies. Moreover, due to my job, I've never mingled in that circle. Since that's the case, I hardly have any interactions with girls of equal status," Ye Cheng said slowly. His expression was one of sadness and disappointment.

Yin Jia listened attentively as Ye Cheng spoke.

Finally, Ye Cheng asked with a smile, "Yin Jia, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

Ye Cheng's eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, and Yin Jia could not help but feel moved. Her face heated up as she said softly, "But you know nothing about my family background…"

Ye Cheng said sincerely, "Yin Jia, if it's you, I don't even mind marrying for the sake of business."

As he spoke, he reached across the table and held Yin Jia's hand.

Yin Jia instinctively pulled back, but Ye Cheng held it, not allowing her to pull her hand back.

Then, Ye Cheng said while holding her hand, "I want us to love each other and slowly understand each other's families. To me, love is the most important thing. As long as you feel the same way as I do, no matter what kind of background you have, it doesn't matter to me."

Upon hearing this, tears brimmed in Yin Jia's eyes.

Ye Cheng looked at her tenderly, causing her to avert her gaze. A drop of tear rolled down her face, and she quickly pulled her hand back before bringing out a piece of tissue to wipe the drop of tear away. Then, she smiled bitterly and asked, "What if I'm like Cinderella?"

Ye Cheng seemed somewhat startled by these words.

Yin Jia continued to say, "What if I'm like Cinderella? Are you willing to be my prince and pull me out of that family?"

Ye Cheng did not hesitate as he said, "It'd be my honor!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Jia smiled as tears fell down her face. She hurriedly turned away. She felt embarrassed that she could not stop her tears.

Ye Cheng held her hand again across the table and said, "Come with me, Cinderella. I'll personally build a kingdom for you."

Ye Cheng's affection was like water that moistened Yin Jia's dry and shriveled heart. She looked at him and said, "In fact, I'm not like Cinderella. I'm not so kind. In my heart, there lives a witch who wants to destroy everything."

Ye Cheng was briefly stunned. Then, he said with a smile, "I've said it before. The most important thing to me is love. I don't care about anything else. I don't care if you're Cinderella or a witch. My little witch, if you need help to destroy the world, I'll do my all to support you."

With this, Yin Jia's heart was completely captured by Ye Cheng. There had never been a man like Ye Cheng who ignited her fighting spirit.

…

When Yin Jia got home, Guan Tang was sitting on the couch elegantly and drinking a cup of tea.

Yin Jia was in such a good mood that her mood was not affected at all even when she saw those who were displeasing to the eyes.

When Guan Tang saw Yin Jia, she hurriedly rose to her feet. "Sister, I've already settled down. I came to ask if you have the time to visit my new place."

Guan Tang was gentle; she was neither servile nor overbearing.

Although Yin Jia knew Guan Tang was not a simple person, she simply could not find any flaws. She had always disliked Guan Tang but tolerated Guan Tang since Guan Tang could still be exploited.

When Yin Jia heard Guan Tang's words, she asked in surprise, "You've already found a place to live so quickly?"

Guan Tang smiled weakly. "It's just getting a house. It's not difficult as long as one has money."

Indeed.

"Does Dad and Mom know?" Yin Jia asked. She knew that Guan Tang was just retreating in order to advance. Yin Bin and Guan Ning naturally would not expel Guan Tang from the house so easily.
