Yan Qianyi had Xiao Ke send a video request to Mu Yunlie.
However...
The light screen kept displaying "Connecting."
The call wasn't picked up until it timed out.
A few seconds of silence fell in the dining room.
Then, the cold sneer of Han Yarong rang out.
"Qianyi, your dad loves you so much, and now when the family needs your help, you conjure up a fake marriage to refuse the match with the Mu family. You really are letting your dad down. Besides, the Mu family is such a good family; Young Master Mu is more than enough for you."
"If they're so great, why don't you send Ruyi instead?"
Having been snubbed by Mu Yunlie, Yan Qianyi wasn't in the best of moods at the moment.
"Ruyi has a boyfriend now, and you're single. Moreover, Ruyi's fertility..."
Han Yarong immediately stopped mid-sentence.
But Yan Qianyi caught her drift, "That's right, with Ruyi's fertility levels, the Mu family wouldn't even consider her."
"You... don't speak so unpleasantly," Han Yarong coldly huffed, "Ruyi got into the Federation Military Academy, her future is boundless. You've wasted two years of schooling anyway, achieving nothing, so marrying into the Mu family is the best choice for you now."
"Enough, no more arguing!" Yan Hong scolded, "Qianyi, dad has indulged you in everything before, but I can't let you be reckless this time! Whatever fake person you've set up in the system for marriage, cancel it and don't let the Mu family find out!"
At this moment, Xiao Ke chimed in.
"Master Master, the gentleman has made a voice call to you."
Over here, Ah Chang, who was sending a voice call request to Yan Qianyi, asked Mu Yunlie in confusion, "Master, haven't you already decided to be a widower? Why bother with her?"
Ah Chang was very studious.
As a high-intelligence system, it was essential for him to understand his owner's thoughts better to serve more efficiently.
"Let's see what she wants."
Mu Yunlie fastened the belt of his robe and sat down on the sofa.
He had just come out of the bathroom and had missed Yan Qianyi's video call due to timing out.
Since she was attacking so eagerly, he might be able to dig something up.
After all, he had nothing urgent to do, so why not see what that little thing was up to?
Yan Qianyi quickly picked up the voice call.
She cooed softly and sweetly, "Hubby~~ why did you only pick up now?"
Her tone was reproachful, with a hint of coquetry.
Mu Yunlie felt a tingling sensation all over his body, his wine glass nearly slipping from his grasp.
If Ah Chang had a physical body, it'd probably be covered in goosebumps by now.
Yan Hong and the others perked up their ears.
They heard Mu Yunlie ask indifferently, "What's the matter?"
His voice was magnetically pleasant, but his tone was flat and icy, devoid of emotion.
"It's nothing really, just that my family doesn't believe I'm married. They think you're a fake person."
As Yan Qianyi spoke, she heard Ruyi murmur beside her, "His voice sounds a bit like a robot."
She quickly added, "Oh, they still think you're a robot."
Mu Yunlie: ? ? ?
He was contacted just to discuss this nonsense?
Mu Yunlie's voice grew colder, "I'm very busy, if there's something, let's meet and talk about it."
After all, he would have the chance to play the widower upon meeting face-to-face.
"Okay, when are you free then?"
"Tonight, the usual place."
Yan Qianyi looked towards Yan Hong and the rest, "Do you believe it's a real person now?"
Han Yarong contemptuously curled her lip, "He doesn't even dare to let us see his face; he must be exceedingly ugly. Qianyi, even if you don't accept your father's arrangement, you can't just marry any Tom, Dick, or Harry, can you?"
Ruyi quietly chuckled to herself.
Thinking about how Qu Yang now belonged to her, while Yan Qianyi got stuck with an unknown and probably horribly ugly man, she felt somewhat more balanced in her heart.
While she was secretly rejoicing, Xiao Ke projected a light screen.
On the screen, an eye-catching image appeared.
