Milady's Fine Gentleman

The Chen couple was still driving towards their apartment complex from their visit to the Chen Family household.

Xue Jinxu's little and first episode of jealousy was settled immediately by the couple. They were all lovey-dovey again.

"We've formally greeted the Chen family. What should we do with the Xue Family?" Chen Linyun asked while driving.

Xue Jinxu smiled her genuine smile. She's feeling quite good despite the recent events. "Let's tell them. If you want, we can head to our house tonight. It will officially end the betrothal."

"I'm scared, but we have to do this, right?" She was staring at him intently, waiting for his reply.

"You mean now?" Chen Linyun's grip on the steering wheel tightened.

Xue Jinxu was being impulsive.

"If you're not comfortable, we can delay." Xue Jinxu compromised. "Up to you, dear." Her forehead was dominated with horizontal lines.

"Are you sure about this, Jinxu? Shouldn't we wait until we resolve the capsizing incident first? You have that much confidence in me? You think they will be able to accept us?" Chen Linyun inquired, full of worry.

"What if it doesn't get resolved? Our marriage… The news of it is a ticking time bomb. I'm worried of their reaction, but I'm more worried that they will know it from the outside. We should break the news to them. I'm hoping it will be soon."

"They cannot do anything about it whether they give their blessing or not. Although I'm really hoping that they will give their blessing to us so that we can start our life together, you know, right and at peace."

"Let's go there tomorrow, then." Chen Linyun declared.

She had been too positively captivated by the unexpectedly warm welcome with the Chen family that she even suggested going straight to their household. However, the situation was so much different when it pertains to the Xue household compared to the Chen household.

She was ecstatic because Chen Linyun's family welcomed her wholeheartedly. She was hoping for her side to do the same with her husband.

The next day, a Sunday, they drove to the Xue Mansion.

Xue Guangxi was there for the weekends. He was astounded when he saw the couple alight from their car. He went straight to greet them.

"Xu-jie." Guangxi called his sister. His voice was shaking.

Chen Linyun and Xue Jinxu stopped in their tracks.

Not long after, Grampa Xue appeared from inside the house behind Xue Guangxi. He was standing at the elevated staircase of the Xue Mansion. Xue Guangxi was already at the lawn in front of them.

"Grampa." Xue Jinxu greeted him at once upon seeing him.

Grampa Xue saw her arms clinging around Chen Linyun's arm. He also spotted those particular rings on his granddaughter's hand. It wasn't too hard to deduce a sound conclusion.

"G-Grampa… Yes. We got married. Please give us your blessings."

"Tsk." Grampa made this clicking of the tongue in strong disapproval He squinted his eyes. "NEVER!"

"Jinxu, you're going to the Old Mansion right this instance. The lawyer will come shortly with the paperworks for your divorce."

The couple was alarmed. Xue Jinxu gasped. Her tears started to flow.

"Sir, Sir…" Chen Linyun started to strike a conversation with Grampa Xue. "Please sir, from the last time we talked, there's a great change already. I was able to establish myself and my own company in Country D. It's doing well."

"My intentions are pure for your granddaughter. I mean no harm, Sir."

"Please, Sir. Please accept us… our marriage." Chen Linyun had grabbed firmly Xue Jinxu's hand.

Xue Mingli and Zhao Feiyan, Xue Jinxu's parents hurriedly went out from the house when they heard voices which seemed to ba arguing.

"What's the commotion about? Why is everyone outside? Jinxu… you're here…" He slowly finished while his eyes landed on the couple's firmly intertwined hands, with a strong conviction written on their faces.

Mother Xue was speechless too. This was the first time that she saw her daughter in quite a close proximity with a man, who was even holding her hand. Xue Jinxu seemed fine with it, and even appeared to be protectively standing by him.

"Xu-er, leave him at once, and come into the house this instance." Grampa Xue commanded. "Go over to our side, NOW."

"No Grampa, I'm not going with you."

"You are." As if on cue, two uniformed bodyguards appeared from nowhere. They were dragging Xue Jinxu towards the mansion.

Chen Linyun was trying to hold on to his wife's hand. His other arm was trying to hug her tight. However, the bodyguards were stronger.

"Forgive me, Big Miss." One bodyguard grabbed and lifted Xue Jinxu by the waist with one arm, as if she's no lighter than paper. The other bodyguard restrained Chen Linyun. Strength-wise, he's at a loss compared to the two bodyguards.

He directed his focus on Grampa Xue.

"Sir, I'm begging you, please give us your blessings. I promise to protect and take care of your granddaughter. I worked hard to at least minimize the glaring gap of our status. Please Sir!"

He went down on his knees in front of Grampa Xue and went on kowtowing nonstop.

"Hmph. Let's go in." Grampa Xue was not moved at all.

"Please Sir!! Xue Jinxu's my life!!" Chen Linyun begged a little more. Tears started to flow down his cheeks as well.

He also addressed Xue Jinxu's parents. "Sir, Madame… I am deeply in love with your daughter. I mean no harm! I'm dedicating my life entirely to her!"

No one responded to Chen Linyun. Xue Jinxu was being dragged away. She also begged her Grampa while being dragged away.
