Mu Yunlie's hand, holding the knife and fork, paused for a moment.
He had already guessed what his grandfather wanted to say.
He looked toward Ning Nuan and got straight to the point, "Nuannuan, I have always treated you as a sister, so the arranged marriage that your grandfather and my grandfather set up is null and void. Please forgive me; I cannot fulfill their agreement."
His tone was neither heavy nor light, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, but his attitude was extremely aloof.
Ning Nuan's expression suddenly became a bit stiff. She awkwardly moved her lips, unable to say anything, but there seemed to be a hint of tears welling up in her eyes.
Nangong Jie said sternly, "Ah Lie, that's not what we are here to talk about today."
Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes, looking perplexedly at Nangong Jie.
Hadn't his grandfather deceived him into coming back just to discuss his marriage with Ning Nuan?
