Chapter 986: Chapter 986: I Won’t Touch You After We’re Married (1 Update, Seeking Subscriptions Part 2)

Old Master Qin’s expression brightened with joy, his excitement barely contained.

Deep down, he still felt a sense of guilt toward his precious grandson.

But... he truly believed he was doing this for his benefit.

The methods employed might inevitably be somewhat extreme.

"Hmph, at least you have a shred of conscience..."

Qin Mu finally spoke about getting married, and the Qin family members were momentarily stunned before bursting with delight.

Father Qin and Mother Qin were already satisfied; as long as Qin Mu was willing to marry, that would suffice.

They were simply grateful and thankful that their youngest son’s feelings had shifted away from Jian Ran.

Jian Ran pressed her lips together slightly and met Gu Mochen’s deep, ink-like eyes, her beautiful eyes also lighting up with joy.

This Wu Family daughter, whom she’d just heard about from Gu’s mother, turned out to be Mu Wan.

The youngest daughter of the Wu Family...

That young girl emanated an artistic aura, aloof yet elegant like a daisy... A bit on the young side, but well-matched with Qin Mu.

At least their personalities complemented one another.

The two could be said to have met through conflict and bonded despite it.

Since the wedding date was set for the eighth day of the first lunar month... Hmm, the date is nice.

Who’s to say this isn’t just another surprise life has graciously bestowed?

...

Gu Mochen’s narrow ink-black eyes narrowed slightly, their depths unfathomably dark like deep pools.

His gaze landed squarely on Old Master Qin’s gleaming eyes; it seemed... the old man had played his future in-law for a fool.

Hmm... But the old master’s intentions came from a place of care.

Gu Mochen himself couldn’t help but find it amusing...

Gu Mochen wasn’t concerned about Qin Mu and Jian Ran rekindling anything but rather... deeply hoped Qin Mu could find a woman he truly loved.

...

Qin Mu had given his word, leaving Old Master Qin practically overjoyed; his illness seemed to have improved by half.

Father Qin and Mother Qin quickly began preparing the wedding details.

Though Old Master had previously finalized the wedding date, Father Qin and Mother Qin had assumed their son would refuse, so they hadn’t put much effort into the preparations.

Now that things were a done deal, Qin Mu had agreed, and the two began earnestly planning everything.

Except... on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Old Master Qin received a phone call from Wu Kun.

"Old Master Qin... my daughter... Mu Wan doesn’t think she’s a good match for Young Master Qin... Ahem, this marriage might..."

After hanging up the call, Old Master Qin’s face instantly turned cold.

"Nonsense... It’s the parents who arrange marriages, you agreed to it as the father; how could that girl disagree... No, no... How could my granddaughter-in-law disagree? She’s marrying my grandson, isn’t she? If she doesn’t marry him, who will? There’s no one in this world more suitable than her!"

Qin Mu: "..."

Qin Mu had just been pouring water for the old master when he heard his stern words, his expression faintly changing, and a sneer tugging at the corner of his lips.

He... never wanted to marry that woman.

That woman named Mu Wan actually didn’t want to marry him?

Qin Mu narrowed his playful, dark eyes as if he’d just heard the world’s biggest joke; those who wanted to marry him... the line of distinguished ladies in all of Yuncheng City would be endless.

And yet, it didn’t fall to her.

But... the old master seemed dead-set on this Mu Wan woman.

Thinking this, Qin Mu darkened his black eyes further, a glimmer of something unreadable flashing within.

...

Upon learning of Mu Wan’s refusal, Old Master Qin’s emotions turned increasingly volatile.

"I’ll head to Yuncheng University myself now. I have her schedule; this afternoon, she borrowed a classroom to work on paintings..."
