The Rest Of My Life Is For You
chapter-1040

Yu Yuehan asked, “Didn’t you just sign the marriage agreement?”

“Yes,” replied Nian Xiaomu

Yu Yuehan went on, “Since we registered our marriage, shouldn’t we pay our respects to my ancestors?”

Nian Xiaomu responded, “We should.”

She then added, “But, didn’t you just say…”

A huge hand suddenly pressed onto her head and rubbed it affectionately, remarking in a domineering tone, “No buts. Since you think we should, then we should go to the ancestral shrine now. Grandma and the elders of the Yu Family are waiting for us there. We still have the Chinese ceremonial wedding to attend.”

“…”

Nian Xiaomu had a blank face the whole time.

The previous second, she had been afraid that Yu Yuehan would want to break up with her out of anger. But, the following second, she seemed to realize that she had fallen for his trick.

Not only had she signed an agreement to sell herself, she even had to rush to take her wedding vows now.

It was fortunate that she already had her wedding dress.

Only when Nian Xiaomu arrived, did she realize that the atmosphere inside the Yu Family’s ancestral shrine was harmonious and lively.

No one’s emotions seemed to have been affected by the media reports or netizen’s speculations.

They also seemed to be awaiting their presence.

Matriarch Yu in particular.

When she saw Yu Yuehan, holding onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand, as they walked into the Yu Family’s ancestral shrine, her eyes were grinning until they were almost on the verge of being unable to open up.

“I knew it, I just knew that I wouldn’t have made the wrong judgment of you. My Xiao Mumu is the most responsible person. Since you promised Grandma that you would marry Yuehan, you wouldn’t not want him anymore. What happened this afternoon must have been just a false alarm!”

“Grandma, I’m sorry…”

Upon hearing Matriarch Yu’s words, Nian Xiaomu felt even more guilty.

She was just about to open her mouth to explain when Matriarch Yu grabbed onto her hand.

“You don’t have to say anything at all. Yuehan has already explained to the elders in the family that you weren’t escaping from the wedding but had a life-and-death situation to handle. It’s good that you’re back now. Grandma was so afraid that you would realize you were being deceived and cancel the marriage…”

Halfway through her words, Matriarch Yu seemed to have realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and hurriedly stopped herself.

With a warm grin, she brought Nian Xiaomu forward and made her offer an incense stick to the ancestors, followed by offering tea to the elders as the new daughter-in-law of the family.

The Yu Family members crowded around them, cheering for them to drink a glass of cross-cupped wine.

Although it wasn’t an official wedding ceremony, the atmosphere was great.

The lively atmosphere continued until night when the family banquet ended.

Grandma brought Xiao Liuliu back to the house while Nian Xiaomu went back to the car and was so tired that she rested in Yu Yuehan’s arms, almost falling asleep.

She wasn’t tired, however, but had a headache.

There was a faint ache coming from her temples.

She had simply been suppressing it earlier and distracting herself away from the pain.

Once the family banquet had ended and the surrounding became quiet again, that sharp aching sensation returned.

They had just gotten into the car when Fan Yu got inside as well.

It was rare that Yu Yuehan merely cast him a glance and did not chase him off.

Nian Xiaomu understood that it was because she had already signed the agreement to sell herself to him, so Yu Yuehan was no longer worried about her running away.

After all, he could self-righteously catch her back and break her legs…

Back in the Yu Family villa

Yu Yuehan first made the butler pour a cup of sobering tea for Nian Xiaomu. After confirming that she was alright, he then turned to fix his eyes on Fan Yu.

Fan Yu’s expression did not look too good.

He looked exceptionally solemn and seeing that Nian Xiaomu was not in her usual condition, his gaze fell a little and he directly broached the subject.

“I’ve been overseas all this while, investigating that exclusive private school called Angel. Through many channels, I finally found the information about Liuliu. When she was enrolled in the school, her family member listed in the records was Mo Qian. Mo Yongheng was also enrolled in the school back then.”

Fan Yu paused for a while before continuing to speak.
