Noble Marriage
Chapter 119: Her Cold Reception

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Her Cold Reception

Her rejection severely wounded his pride and made him lose all face.

Clenching the box tightly, he violently smashed it onto the ground, where it burst open, and a diamond-studded butterfly brooch fell onto the floor, emitting a crisp sound.

Lin Xinlan stopped struggling, and she looked at the brooch, a bit slow to react.

The brooch was beautiful, shining brightly under the light—temptation no woman could resist.

Suddenly, a leather shoe stomped hard on the brooch, and Lin Xinlan heard a cracking sound—the brooch shattered.

Rong Shaoze’s foot moved away, and the once perfect brooch lay in pieces, just like a perfect heart broken beyond repair.

"If you don’t appreciate it, so be it. An ungrateful woman who doesn’t know what’s good for her, you think I care about giving you a gift!" Rong Shaoze said coldly and angrily, letting go of her hand, then walking away a few steps, hands on his hips, still in extreme rage.

"Get out!" He said without looking back.

Lin Xinlan glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave his room.

Rong Shaoze turned around and saw the broken brooch on the ground, his chest burning with fresh anger.

That damn woman, he thought her temper had improved, but she was still so hard and unbearable.

He had kindly accompanied her to eat her favorite food, and kindly given her a gift, yet she had not appreciated it!

Indeed, an ungrateful woman!

And he, when had he ever been humiliated by a woman like this, been given such disdain.

The more Rong Shaoze thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling stuffy and uncomfortable in his chest, wanting to vent but not knowing how. He couldn’t hit her, for he didn’t hit women, and he had no interest in demanding her at this juncture.

It was incredibly frustrating!

In short, he shouldn’t have bothered inviting her for dinner today, shouldn’t have bothered giving her a gift!

That night, Lin Xinlan enjoyed a good night’s sleep without Rong Shaoze’s disruptions.

However, what she did not expect was that the next day she would face the cold treatment from everyone in the villa.

Rong Shaoze had given the order that no one should pay her any attention, bother with her, or even glance at her.

The servants took his command as an imperial edict. Now that the young master had spoken, everyone naturally abided strictly, resolved to do it perfectly.

Lin Xinlan went downstairs for breakfast as usual, sitting at the dining table, waiting for the servants to serve her meal. But after a few minutes, not a single servant came forward to greet her.

They walked past her, looking at her with their nostrils, not using their eyes at all.

Bewildered, she stopped the butler and tentatively asked, "Butler Gu, what happened today? Why is everyone’s expression so strange?"

"..." Butler Gu did not give her a glance and continued on his way, walking past her arm.

Lin Xinlan: "..."

What in the world was going on?

Forget it, it wasn’t new for the people in the villa to be strange and unpredictable; it didn’t matter if she didn’t understand.

She went to the kitchen to find something to eat for herself, and there was nothing ready. Fortunately, she could cook, so without much fuss, she made herself some millet porridge to eat.

At lunchtime, Rong Shaoze came back, and Butler Gu greeted him eagerly: "Young Master, you’re back. The meal has just been prepared, please take a seat, we’ll start eating shortly."

Lin Xinlan didn’t need to be called; she automatically sat at the dining table, and Rong Shaoze glanced at her, a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile curling at his lips.
