Surely He Will Grant This Favor?

Yan Ruyi was convinced that Yan Qianyi was simply too heartbroken, thus converting her sorrow into a ravenous appetite.

Yan Hong shared this sentiment, sighing, "Qianyi, we all believed you would never awaken, so…"

"Congratulations," Yan Qianyi finally lifted her head, looking at Yan Ruyi with a radiant smile. "Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness."

What was that saying again? 

A dog deserves a bitch, and thus they shall endure together.

"You… you're truly not angry?" Yan Ruyi found it hard to believe. "You once cared for him deeply."

Yan Qianyi shrugged nonchalantly. "As you've mentioned, that was in the past. Since you enjoy picking up what others have discarded, it's all yours; I prefer something new."

In truth, she had never been particularly enamored with Qu Yang.

They had grown up together, and their families had arranged a childhood engagement, which had merely become a matter of habit.

Whether this habit could truly be considered love, she could not ascertain.

All she knew was that mentioning Qu Yang now stirred no emotion within her.

"Oh dear, it seems I've misspoken again. Ruyi, don't misunderstand; what I mean is, as long as you're happy," Yan Qianyi said, reaching for a napkin to dab her mouth. "I'm full now. Father, Aunt Han, please enjoy your meal."

Just be careful not to choke.

Having said that, Yan Qianyi rose to leave.

However, Han Yarong chuckled lightly. "Indeed, there's no reason for you to feel sad. After all, your father has arranged a far better match for you. Mu Zicheng comes from a much more prestigious family than Qu Yang."

Only, he was a rogue who treated women as mere playthings.

After marrying into the Mu family, Yan Qianyi wouldn't have a blissful life.

With this thought, Han Yarong felt a bit more at ease.

Yan Qianyi ignored Han Yarong and directly asked Yan Hong, "Can it be annulled?"

Yan Hong hesitated, "My dear, your father has already accepted the betrothal gifts."

"Can't the gifts be returned?" Yan Qianyi pressed on.

"The absence of those gifts will not resolve the corporation's financial crisis. My dear, the Mu family is the wealthiest in the Interstellar Federation. Marrying into their family means you'll enjoy endless wealth and luxury, and you won't be wronged."

"So…" Yan Qianyi's gaze gradually turned frosty. "You are insisting that I marry into the Mu family?"

This was her father's last chance to reconsider.

Yan Hong remained silent, merely nodding in affirmation.

At that moment, Yan Qianyi felt utterly disillusioned with her father.

If he truly valued her as he once claimed, how could he bear to treat her as a mere commodity to be sold?

She recalled that her father had once expressed a desire for her to marry a man who would cherish her, continuing to spoil and love her.

If he had changed his mind at this moment, she would have found a way to resolve the company's issues.

But he hadn't.

In that case, she could not be blamed for her ruthlessness.

"However…" Yan Qianyi chuckled softly. "What should I do? I'm already married."

"What?!" Yan Hong exclaimed in shock, suddenly rising to his feet. "You just woke up; who did you marry?!"

Han Yarong and Yan Ruyi were equally astonished.

Yan Qianyi tapped her smart wristband, projecting a holographic screen.

Displayed was her personal information, indicating her marital status as "married."

"Well, it seems quite fateful; my husband's surname is also Mu," Yan Qianyi said, her eyes curving with a smile, exuding the bliss of a newlywed.

Strangely enough, after just a few hours apart, she found herself somewhat missing that charming rogue.

She wondered where he had gone and what he was doing.

"What kind of person is he?" Yan Hong's face turned pale. "Let me see his personal information."

"You can't access it."

Yan Qianyi opened Mu Yunlie's profile, revealing a blank page before Yan Hong.

Yan Hong nearly coughed up blood. "Yan Qianyi! You married an unidentified person? Do you realize what you've done?"

"I know, indeed."

Though his identity was ambiguous, it was certainly preferable to marrying a man whose face she hadn't even seen.

At least Mu Yunlie was handsome and quite endearing when he had his moments.

Despite the fact that she was technically married to him.

Han Yarong snapped back to reality from her shock, her tone sarcastic. "Qianyi, you wouldn't have known about the engagement with the Mu family before returning, and out of spite for your father, you just found someone to marry, would you?"

Yan Ruyi murmured softly, "Mom, a person whose basic information is hidden might not even be real."

Prompted by Yan Ruyi's reminder, Yan Hong's expression changed. "Qianyi, be honest; did you hire a hacker to fabricate a fake identity to escape the marriage? You aren't truly married, are you?"

"Your imaginations are rather vivid," Yan Qianyi replied helplessly. "I am indeed married, and he is real."

Even now, she felt remnants of his unique presence lingering on her.

Recalling how he clung to her last night, Yan Qianyi couldn't help but feel her ears grow warm, her throat parched.

Yan Hong said, "Then you should video call him. Since you are already married, he ought to meet his father-in-law."

Without seeing the man in person, he wouldn't believe it.

"Fine." Yan Qianyi braced herself and agreed.

At this point, she had no alternative.

She could only hope Mu Yunlie would show some consideration.

After all, he was the one who had initiated the marriage.

Surely he would grant her this favor, right?

Will Mu Yunlie extend such a favor?

The answer will be revealed tomorrow!
