Sir, How About A Marriage?

“However, this is the only way to protect her, right, Tingting? It’s not that I’m heartless. I really don’t want her to go to jail, after all. She committed a crime in front of everyone; even if I have extraordinary skills, I can’t absolve her. Moreover, the person she provoked is Mu Chen’s wife. Everyone knows how much Mu Chen loves his wife. Perhaps, if it was just Mu Chen alone, I’d still be able to resolve this matter using our many years of friendship as schoolmates. However…” Ye Cheng said as he paced back and forth in front of Fu Ting.

Fu Ting reached out to stop him. “Ye Cheng, you’re doing this for her good. Otherwise, if this matter continues, it’ll negatively impact you, the Ye family, and the Ye Group; it’s not fair to everyone. Not only are you responsible for your sister, but you’re responsible for the wellbeing of the entire Ye family as well. Your sister can only suffer to protect the Ye family. Moreover, I do think your sister needs help. I think she might have some psychological issues. Therefore, it’s not wrong for her to get evaluated and treated…”

Ye Cheng held Fu Ting’s hand as though he was holding onto a lifeline. He pulled her into his arms and said, “Thank you so much, Tingting. You’re the only one who cares about me in this world.”

Fu Ting’s heart ached for Ye Cheng as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

Following that, the couple had a sweet date that lasted till late at night before Ye Cheng reluctantly sent Fu Ting home.

…

After the date, Ye Cheng drove to the clubhouse he was a member of.

Chen Chen was already waiting for him there.

Ye Cheng sat down on the couch and rubbed his face tiredly while Chen Chen stood respectfully at the side. He leaned against the couch and closed his eyes to rest; the scenes between him and Fu Ting flashed in his mind.

After a long time, Ye Cheng finally broke the silence. He asked, “Chen Chen, do you know what method Fu Ting came up with to deal with Ye Xin’s matter?”

Chen Chen looked at Ye Cheng silently.

Ye Cheng straightened his back and said with a smile, “Tell that group of incompetent lawyers to use her poor mental state as a defense…”

Chen Chen looked at Ye Cheng in surprise.

Ye Cheng gave him a sidelong glance. “Surprised? Fortunately, you weren’t present when Fu Ting spoke about the way to resolve this matter. Otherwise, your expression would have betrayed your thoughts. Do you know? Although this method is cruel, I still have to be grateful to her for solving my biggest problem…”

Chen Chen was even more surprised. “This is… Miss Fu’s idea?”

Ye Cheng crossed his legs and rested his hands on the armrest as he said through gritted teeth, “Fu Ting’s idea is Vice Mayor Fu’s idea, and Vice Mayor Fu’s idea is the Bureau Chief’s idea. Apart from obeying, what else can I do? Not only must I be obedient, but I must be grateful as well…”

Chen Chen felt a chill in his heart. “But… But isn’t this akin to taking away Madam and Young Miss’ lives?”

Ye Cheng sneered. “Fu Ting said that the most important thing now is the Ye family’s future and my official career. She’s not wrong…”

Chen Chen was silent for a moment before he said, “Young Master Ye, I think Miss Fu’s words make sense.”

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly. “They’ve discussed this matter and only informed me of the result of the discussion. I was the last one to know about it. If I agree, I’ll continue down this path; if I disagree, I’ll have to end my relationship with Fu Ting. With that, I won’t have a chance of holding public office in the future. Not only that, but the Ye family will also be implicated. Hence, Chen Chen, Ye Xin and my mother aren’t the only ones who are being cornered. I’m also being cornered…” After a moment, he said with a sigh, “They’re too arrogant and kept courting death…”

Chen Chen knew Ye Cheng had already long accepted Fu Ting’s method. Ye Cheng was only feeling unwilling and needed to vent his many complaints.

At this time, Ye Cheng pointed at the wine cabinet.

Chen Chen went over and brought out a wine bottle and wine glasses before handing them to Ye Cheng.
