Chapter 162: Chapter 162: How Embarrassing

Fu Chenlie had remained silent after Grandma had finished speaking.

Wen Ran felt a void inside her.

Grandma turned to him again, "Xiao Fu, you tell me, I’m listening."

The man glanced at Wen Ran, catching sight of her downcast look, and lifted his lips without a trace of sound.

Then, he turned to Grandma and began to speak slowly, "Ranran is very well-behaved, very adorable, has a good temperament, and can be quite clever at times. Most of the time I enjoy our time together, and as for marriage, it was a joint decision made by the two of us."

Hearing these words, Wen Ran promptly raised her bowed head to look at Fu Chenlie.

He also looked at her, his gaze like the cool waters of a summer spring, making Wen Ran feel a peculiar itch in her heart.

In the gap as she averted her gaze, Grandma had already spoken up again, "Right, Ranran has never told me how you two met."

"She helped my grandma by chance, and Grandma introduced us," he replied.

Instantly, Grandma smiled, "Is that so? Our Ranran has always been willing to help others."

Fu Chenlie responded ambiguously, "Yes, I’ve noticed."

After Grandma finished speaking, she felt something was amiss, and hurriedly inquired, "Then, Xiao Fu, your marriage to Ranran wasn’t at the behest of your Grandma, was it?"

Wen Ran interrupted her, "Grandma, why so many questions? If he didn’t agree to the marriage, even with your approval, it wouldn’t have happened. Stop talking to him for a bit, talk to me. Tell me, has anything interesting happened in town while I wasn’t home?"

Grandma patted her hand, "Alright, alright, I’ll chat with you."

Just as she was about to speak, she realized something, looked down at Wen Ran’s hand, and saw it was bare, without a thing on it.

Grandma immediately turned to Fu Chenlie, "Xiao Fu, there’s something I don’t know if I should say."

"Grandma, please speak."

"I’ve asked Ranran about it before, and you’re the manager of a small company, with a monthly income also over ten thousand, so I imagine you must have saved up some money over the years."

As Fu Chenlie hummed an acknowledgment, he looked at Wen Ran with a stare sharp as a knife.

From the way he looked at her, she knew he was still bothered by her offense of calling him a manager and not acknowledging his intelligence.

She couldn’t fathom why such a heavy burden.

He’s not even a celebrity!

Grandma’s words continued, "I’ve never hoped that our Ranran would marry into a particularly wealthy family, just that she finds someone who knows how to cherish her, someone who will take good care of her. Today, having met you, I find you to be courteous, not much of a talker, but reassuringly steady, and that puts me at ease. However, there’s one thing I’d like to mention, and I hope you won’t think me old-fashioned for speaking my mind."

Fu Chenlie showed rare patience, "I won’t."

"See, I never expected to ask for much bride price when Ranran got married, but now I see so many girls in town receiving betrothal gifts like ’five gold pieces and a diamond’ or ’three gold pieces and a diamond.’ Whether you want diamonds or not is up to you young people, but my precious granddaughter is no less deserving than anyone else. She shouldn’t lack even the ’three gold pieces,’ should she?"

Listening to Grandma say this, Wen Ran immediately felt her heart put on alert.

If it were a love marriage, or meeting someone through a normal matchmaking process, discussing marriage, the betrothal gifts of three gold pieces were undoubtedly essential.

But her marriage to Fu Chenlie was based on an agreement, completely devoid of emotional foundation, not to mention the lack of a courtship period. How could she have the nerve to ask him for three gold pieces and a diamond?!
