Chapter 142 - 142 142 Once Through the Door Naturally Its
Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Once Through the Door, Naturally, It’s the Yan Family Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Once Through the Door, Naturally, It’s the Yan Family Hearing this, Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head to look at the bright manicure she’d gotten just the day before, which was so eye-catching that it was almost blinding. Lifting her head, she managed a chuckle.
“I’ve never worried about that. When I was talking about the treaty, I meant the demands you have set for me in the future, and of course, my requirements for you. It’s essentially some sort of mutual restraint,” she said.
Truth be told, Yan Bo’s words sounded like just a promise. However, the tone and look in his eyes were painfully hurtful.
But Zhu Qianying had long been numb to these kinds of menacing remarks. When it came to this matter, she didn’t underestimate her own ability. She didn’t care about those irrelevant people who looked down upon her.
The relationship between her and him was nothing but an explicit deal. He had every reason to say those words, but she had to fight for herself as much as possible. Those things that she strove for were more important than money to her.
The sharpness in Yan Bo’s eyes didn’t fade a bit due to her explanation. Instead, he stared at her unblinkingly, his gaze more straightforward and candid.
“Demands? Constraints?” He murmured, his handsome lips curling into a faint smirk. To Zhu Qianying, that smirk set the tone of the word “heartless”.
However, there was never any “love” between them in the first place, so what did it matter whether it was shallow or deep? His harsh words and mockery didn’t even scratch the surface of her skin.
Even more so, she was grateful for his blunt honesty. This way, she didn’t have to waste too much energy guessing his intentions.
More importantly, she wouldn’t foster any undue daydreams or expectations about this marriage.
“Yes!” Zhu Qianying fearlessly nodded her head.
She proactively put forward her own demands before Yan Bo could continue questioning.
“As you can see, I’m quite active and often liked to have fun. So, after the marriage, I hope you’d grant me as much freedom of movement as possible,” She requested.
Yan Bo glanced at her, seeming to wait for her to present more requirements. When he sensed that she didn’t intend to continue, he finally asked, “Is that all?”
Zhu Qianying nodded, “That is all. I’ve been really close friends with Xing Bailun and others since childhood. We often gather a large group of like-minded friends for climbing expeditions or exploring some primitive forests. At times, when they’re busy, I’d make plans with other people by myself. I hope you can understand.”
Yan Bo gave her demands some thought, “That can be arranged, but if we have a baby, you can’t be involved in any dangerous activities.”
Zhu Qianying hadn’t considered this aspect before. However, even if he hadn’t mentioned it, if they really did have a baby, she wouldn’t do anything to harm their child.
“Of course, that’s a given,” Zhu Qianying decisively agreed, nodding.
Yan Bo waited patiently for a few more seconds, “Nothing more?”
Zhu Qianying shook her head, “No, nothing else! It’s now your turn, Yan Bo. The Yan Family is a prominent household; if there is anything that needs my attention, just tell me.”
Irrespective of the Yan family or the Tong family, both origins were equally intimidating to Zhu Qianying. Until now, apart from Yan Bo, she had only met his parents, who would be her future in-laws.
As for Yan Bo’s grandfather, the highly respected elder of the Yan family who occasionally appeared on the news, and Yan Bo’s politically connected uncle, Zhu Qianying had never met them or even heard Yan Bo mention them.
Similarly, she had only heard the names of the two retired heads of the Tong family, but never met them.
“Well, let me think about it!” Yan Bo hadn’t really given this subject much thought. When Zhu Qianying asked, he didn’t have any ideas initially.
From her previous actions, she had managed fairly okay. Although she occasionally angered him to the point where he wanted to throttle her, she would always behave obediently afterward and do things to please him. Overall, he felt her performance wasn’t too bad. As for anything else, he couldn’t think of anything specific that he would want to request from her immediately.
“Okay, if you remember anything in the future, please remind me. I’m so used to doing things carefreely that I’m afraid I might end up offending your family or friends unintentionally, which would be a big problem!”
Zhu Qianying was straightforward. After finishing with their discussion, she stood up, dragging her long wedding dress with her.
Unexpectedly, Yan Bo found that all Zhu Qianying asked for was that he shouldn’t interfere with her actions after marriage. He didn’t perceive himself as a tyrant from the feudal society who wanted to confine his queen and concubine within the palace. Who formulated such silly theories?
“Are there any other demands you really have?” He thought her so-called demands, apart from the dowry, were still related to money.
“Absolutely not. Let’s go. Stop dawdling. They say that entering the house should be done at an auspicious time. If we’re late, it’s bad luck, right?”
Zhu Qianying, dragging her heavy dress and hobbling in high heels that were 10 centimeters tall, slowly moved towards the door.
Yan Bo stared at her face intently until she looked back at him, “Yan Bo, would you please help me carry the train of my dress?”
If there was a ranking for the brides of L city’s wealthy families based on the degree of pomp and circumstance, she would undoubtedly be placed at the very end, being the least ostentatious of all!
Yan Bo snapped out of his thoughts, bent down and picked up the long trailing dress from the floor.
“Zhu Qianying, today is our big day. Are you sure you don’t want to make a willful request?” Yan Bo inquired, unsure if he was trying to test something, or if he just couldn’t accept it.
He could provide her with so much more, and yet, she only asked for such a small favor?
Thinking about this point, Yan Bo felt somewhat irritated.
Did he appear to be such a stingy man?
Zhu Qianying was carefully stepping forward in high heels. Hearing his question, she responded without thinking.
“Yan Bo, relax. I really don’t have any other requests,” she replied. After a pause, she added regretfully, “However, if I really wanted to be willful, I would genuinely hope this wedding could be a little simpler. It is so troublesome, don’t you agree, Yan Bo?”
Getting a usually casually dressed girl, who was usually in a basic T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, to wear a cumbersome gown and high heels was indeed a big hassle and quite punishing.
However, her words sounded harsh to Yan Bo who was behind her.
He had initially felt relieved during their conversation in the living room, thankful that she was considerate enough not to cause any major issues. But now, when he directly heard her complaints, he began to feel uncomfortable.
“I had the same thought as you. Unfortunately, your request came a little too late!” The groom sounded slightly resentful.
Zhu Qianying, who couldn’t see his expression and was somewhat distracted, didn’t pick up on his dissatisfaction and replied with a hint of helplessness.
“Even if I had requested it earlier, it wouldn’t matter. How can a prominent family like the Yan family have a simple wedding?”
“What do you mean ‘the Yan family’? Aren’t you part of the Yan family now?” The groom stated, clearly disheartened, his annoyance permeating the entire room.
If Zhu Qianying were still unable to pick up on his displeasure, then it would insinuate something more than her being just oblivious.
“Well, I haven’t officially joined yet, have I? Once the ceremony is over, I will naturally become a part of the Yan family.”
Her response was barely satisfactory. The groom had no reason to delve further. Plus, in the midst of their conversation, the two had reached the bedroom entrance.
