Kapitel 7: I will not run away!
"Marry me! Fate has given us a chance to start a new life in which you no longer see those damn women. I'm not asking you to love me, I just want you to stay close to me…" - the girl shouted desperately.
"..." - Chen Ge calmly listened to her words, and even though his gaze was cloudy and unstable, his expression didn't change much.
He thought about every word that Liang Si Yao had just said.
Those words also made him admit that he was a selfish bastard thinking only of himself.
After a long time, he finally nodded his head slightly and said:
"I made many stupid mistakes in my past life, but fate has given me a chance to make things right. I can't promise eternal love and devotion, but I will try to at least not run away."
He looked at Liang Si Yao, and Liang Si Yao also looked at him calmly at that moment. In her eyes he could see awkwardness, surprise, fear... But, there was even more expectation and joy.
Chen Ge involuntarily smiled.
They didn't notice that with every breath they were getting closer to each other, until Liang Si Yao was in Chen Ge's arms.
But, the moment he wanted to kiss her, Chen Ge suddenly felt an irregular surge of energy coming from outside.
This is the aura of... Chen Xiao?
'Looks like the conversation between them didn't work out, otherwise what could make him so agitated?' - He thought and grabbed Liang Si Yao's cold hand pulling her out of the room in the direction where the aura was emitted from.
At the same time, they completely forgot that there was a third person in the room besides them, watching them with their mouth gaping.
*****
Twenty minutes ago. Liang Clan's family hall.
"You must be surprised to see me in the Liang Clan, I came because I have an unreasonable request. I hope that you will agree to it and settle things peacefully." - Calmly said Chen Xiao sitting at the table.
Liang Zheng felt that something was going wrong, coughing slightly he replied:
"Please speak."
"We have known each other for a long time and there is an alliance between our clans, so I won't hide it, I'm here to cancel Chen Ge's and Liang Si Yao's wedding.
Crack!
The cup fell from Liang Zheng's hands, he was stunned. His body trembled slightly.
Chen Xiao continued:
"My son is useless, not only does he not have the talent for cultivation like your daughter, his tenacity also doesn't hold a candle to hers, she is a treasure not only of your Liang Clan but the entire Shentou City. Unfortunately she is too good for Chen Ge."
Chen Xiao spoke the truth, they did not love each other, their marriage should have strengthened the bonds between the clans, instead the benefits were mostly skewed toward the Liang Clan leaving Chen Clan with not much to gain, otherwise things would look much different.
Liang Zheng's face was ashen, but Chen Xiao acted as if he didn't notice it.
"I do not want to use your daughter as a bargaining chip, so I believe that this marriage should be ended here and now. I hope that you will agree to it!" - Chen Xiao was very firm in his decision.
Liang Zheng felt bad about Chen Xiao's sudden decision. With difficulty coming to his senses, he asked:
"Is this your decision or is this what Chen Ge wants?" - The small flame of hope still hadn't gone out in Liang Zheng's eyes.
"Chen Ge! I don't know why he's changed so suddenly, but he's vehemently against marrying your daughter."
"Against...? HAHAHAHAHAHA…" - Like a madman, Liang Zheng laughed and suddenly stood up from behind the table, shouting loudly:
"It doesn't matter if it's his decision or not. Your actions are a slap in the face of my clan, what should I say to the guests who will be arriving soon? From today, all relations between our clans will end, and remember, there will come a day when you will regret it!
Chen Xiao's eyes gleamed coldly and he growled letting out a powerful aura:
"Are you threatening me? Liang Zheng, when did you become so arrogant? Don't forget what happened ten years ago…"
At the moment when a battle could have erupted at any moment, there was an abrupt sound of footsteps coming closer and closer from outside the hall.
'He must have finished…' - Chen Xiao thought.
Chen Xiao and Liang Zheng were sitting against each other with a grim expression on their faces when Chen Ge and Liang Si Yao entered.
When he calmly entered the hall holding Liang Si Yao's hand he was instantly the focus of both men's attention.
'What the hell?' - The both of them thought and involuntarily looked at each other with the same incomprehensible look, though due to vastly different reasons.
Chen Xiao, didn't understand what was going on, Chen Ge's plan was to break up the upcoming marriage with Liang Si Yao, but seeing her hand firmly tucked in his son's hand and the fact that half of her body was in his arms, his mind went blank.
But, Liang Zheng was even worse. He rubbed his eyes several times feeling that this was just a dream. His daughter, who was cold-blooded even to him and seemed to feel no emotion, at this very moment, was smiling and her gaze was like that of a little girl in love.
