Chapter 617: Chapter 616 Title Undecided_1 Chapter 617: Chapter 616 Title Undecided_1 After more than a year of a tangled mess, it was rather vexing indeed.

“Alright then.” Shi Ruo opened the car door, bending down to get into the back seat.

Shi Ruo frowned at the sight of a drunken Shangguan Ye in the back seat, delicately sitting beside him, and called out his name coldly, “Shangguan Ye?”

“Hmm? Ruo Ruo…”

Shangguan Ye opened his eyes and lunged in Shi Ruo’s direction, precisely trapping her in his embrace.

The strong smell of alcohol from him was overwhelming, making Shi Ruo feel both embarrassed and annoyed. She pushed him away and looked nervously at Qiao Xiaren. Qiao Xiaren was focused on driving but was always paying attention to the rearview mirror.

Just hearing ‘Ruo Ruo,’ made her skin crawl.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” She wasn’t sure what to say, looking at the man who was visibly drunk.

She couldn’t deceive her own heart, so Shi Ruo couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

Even if she claimed to no longer be in love, she still cared about him. She wasn’t as carefree as Xiaren, nor did she know what to do.

The car went very slowly. Qiao Xiaren skillfully turned the steering wheel, veering at a curve, and Shi Ruo, who was lost in thought, ended up colliding with Shangguan Ye.

He took the opportunity to hug her tightly, continuously calling her name. Shi Ruo felt a pang in the softest part of her heart – a mixture of sourness and a sweet sensation, it was very complicated.

“Ruo Ruo, don’t be so cold to me… Or indifferent, okay?”

Looking at her face up close, he touched her cheek in fascination, holding her tightly within his grasp, “Ruo Ruo…”

He emanated a suffocating, fierce aura, like he would tear her to pieces if she didn’t agree with him. He had a stubborn character; once he was determined to do something, he wouldn’t back down.

Shi Ruo was petite and seemed fragile in his arms. Even though she appeared subservient on the surface, she was in fact more stubborn than anyone else.

Thinking about this, Shangguan Ye’s brow furrowed tighter. His hand on Shi Ruo’s shoulder tightened forcefully. No matter what, he had decided she was the one for him.

Shi Ruo lowered her head. Her pretty face flushed but she still said calmly, “What about your Sister Yitong?”

“I have said it before, she is not a hindrance to our love.”

“But the fact is, she does exist.” Shi Ruo looked up, her gaze serene, “As long as she remains a part of the Shangguan Family, I cannot peacefully coexist with her.”

Shangguan Ye furrowed his eyebrows, unable to comprehend Shi Ruo’s thoughts. One was his sister, and the other was his lover. Didn’t she understand who he truly loved?

“Since you’re so troubled, why don’t I help you make up your mind? Let’s go to the registry office tomorrow and get married.” Shangguan Ye stared intensely at the person in front of him, holding her face with both hands, forcing her to look back at him, “Once you truly become my wife, you won’t need to think about these nonsensical things.”

The idea of marriage became progressively firm in Shangguan Ye’s mind. Once they were married, she should feel secure, right?

“What did you say?”

Hearing the words ‘getting married’, Shi Ruo was so shocked that her eyes widened, seeming unable to believe what he had just said.

Before Shi Ruo could react, a kiss had already landed, taking the opportunity to intensify the situation, turning amorous.

Shangguan Ye was obviously feigning drunkenness to take advantage of the situation. It couldn’t be denied he was crafty. Noticing the faint, smug grin on Shangguan Ye’s lips, he decided not to call him out on the spot.
