Li Beinian laughed and stood up, as expected.

“Since you’re not dead, you’d better come clean with me.” Mu Donglin looked at her and his voice went cold. “My mom worried for you the entire night, now it seems like it was all for nothing.”

“No… Donglin, it’s my fault.” Li Haoran stepped forward. “I thought that something had happened to Nian Nian, even though we never found her body. I didn’t know it’d turn out to be a misunderstanding.”

Mu Donglin looked at him coldly. “So this was what happened.”

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

It was as if the ward had gone cold as well.

No one said anything more.

Li Haoran found it a little awkward and said, “So, the engagement with Nian Nian…”

“Mm, I know.” Mu Donglin glanced at his secretary.

The secretary immediately placed all the gifts and tonics down.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll just let my mom know. If nothing is wrong with your daughter, then the engagement ceremony in November will go on as planned.” Mu Donglin’s voice sounded mechanical, lacking all and any emotion.

He sounded as if the engagement with Li Beinian wasn’t a big deal at all.

Li Haoran was so happy to hear that. “Sure, Nian Nian is definitely all healthy!”

Li Haoran’s response was so quick and candid.

And the joy on his face was unquestionable.

Li Beinian felt dreadful.

Was he so happy to see her come home just because of this engagement?

She’d thought…

This really was a disappointment.

Mu Donglin’s attitude towards her was evident from the coldness of his speech.

And yet, her biological father could still push her towards him.

Her heart sank and the joy she’d felt earlier dissipated.

Old Mr. Li’s expression darkened, however. “Nian Nian is surely healthy, but!”

His tone was stern and authoritative.

“Donglin, your grandpa and I had settled on this engagement. But our intention was for our grandchildren to be harmonious with one another.” Old Mr. Li kept his eyes on him as he spoke. “You’ve been a sensible child since you were young. If you don’t like our Nian Nian, you don’t have to put yourself down to marry her.”

Even if you don’t like her, someone else does!

Old Mr. Li did not say everything on his mind.

His eyes were clear and even a little fierce.

Silence blanketed the ward again.

No one had expected Old Master Li to erupt this way.

Li Beinian felt her heart flutter a little.

She was touched.

In both her lives, the only people who really loved her were the Chi Family and Grandpa.

The Mu Family was a giant beast in the industry in the eyes of the Li Family.

In any case, being granted any ties with the Mu Family would be considered a great gift to the Li’s.

But Grandpa actually…

Li Beinian’s eyes went teary. She went forward and hugged Old Mr. Li.

This gesture made Old Mr. Li’s heart ache even more.

He patted her on the back as his voice trembled. “It’s alright now, Grandpa will decide for you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Li Beinian’s voice was just as soft.

Mu Donglin looked at them for a while before saying in a mellower tone, “Grandpa Li, I”m sorry.”
