I wish you peace and love

Half a year later, Shen Yunxi was already a senior student and Ye Muan had also graduated.

On this day, Shen Yunxi was about to rush back to the Shen family to celebrate her grandfather's birthday when the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang. She thought it was her brother calling to urge him, so she quickly took it out and saw that it was Ye Muan's call.

The voice was unusually gentle, "Hello? Mu An, what's the matter?"

"Ning'er, I'm waiting for you by the small lake in your school. You must come." Ye Mu'an said only this and hung up.

Ah? What are you waiting for her to do? Shen Yunxi was confused. She didn't even remember that they had an appointment today.

She still had to rush home to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, so it seemed she had to go quickly and come back quickly.

Shen Yunxi hurried to the lake, and was stunned when she saw the handsome man standing there with a bunch of bright red roses in his hand.

It was not until the man walked up to her step by step and handed the rose in his hand to her that Shen Yunxi suddenly came back to her senses, her face turning red and her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

In this situation, is Ye Muan going to confess his feelings to her?

Shen Yunxi's heart was suddenly filled with nervousness and anticipation.

She lowered her head to glance at the particularly beautiful rose bouquet in her hand, tried to calm her nervousness, then raised her eyes to look at him, "Mu An... what are you doing..."

"Ning'er."

Ye Muan's eyes flashed with fiery emotions, and then he took her right hand and spoke slowly and passionately, "I like you. I have always wanted to tell you that I have liked you since the day I saw you."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but more of it was joy.

"This bouquet of red roses may not be able to express my love for you, but I hope Ning'er can feel my feelings for you." Ye Muan held her right hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Ning'er, will you be my girlfriend?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that the girl was silent for a long time without any response, Ye Muan suddenly became anxious, "Ning'er is unwilling?"

"I haven't..."

Seeing his sad look, Shen Yunxi held back her smile and originally decided to tease him.

But before he could finish his words, he muttered, "Maybe I'm too anxious."

Ye Muan took a deep breath and spoke to her sincerely, "It's okay if Ning'er doesn't want to be my girlfriend. I can wait until the day when Ning'er is willing to be with me."

"Silly, who said I don't want to?"

"What?" Ye Mu'an thought he was hallucinating and stared at the girl's face with an inquiring look. The moment he saw a sweet smile on her face, he was sure that he had not heard it wrong.

Shen Yunxi agreed to be his girlfriend, he really pursued her!!!

"Ning'er, I'm so happy!"

Excitedly, Ye Muan hugged Shen Yunxi into his arms.

"Mu An, I'm very happy too." At this moment, the girl's smile was like a spring breeze, warm and intoxicating.

The two hugged for a while, Shen Yunxi poked his waist and said, "Can you let me go first?"

"Can you not let go? I want to hold you like this forever."

"No, I'm rushing home to celebrate my grandfather's birthday."

"Okay then." Ye Mu'an let go of Shen Yunxi reluctantly.

"Do you need me to drive you back?"

"No need, I can drive back by myself." Shen Yunxi said goodbye to him and left in a hurry.

At the old man's birthday party, Shen Mingwei, Shen Yunxi's grandfather, was discussing the marriage between the two families with an old man who exuded the aura of a superior.

"Xi Che is coming back soon. This time, the marriage between our two families will finally be possible."

When Shen Mingwei heard this, he was stunned at first, then his face was full of surprise, "Old Lu, are you telling the truth?"

"When did I ever lie to you?"

Shen Mingwei thought about it and decided not to.

He was overjoyed, “What a wonderful thing this is!”

"Yes, he hasn't been home for many years."

"Then when Xi Che comes back, our two families will immediately arrange the marriage. What do you think?" Shen Mingwei smiled happily and asked Lu Chaoxuan for his opinion.

"We in the Lu family naturally have no objection."

That brat in his family likes the little girl from the Shen family so much, what else can he have to object to?

The girl, who had just rushed back from outside to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, immediately showed a trace of grievance and disbelief in her sharp eyes after hearing this.

She said what she was thinking in front of everyone, "Grandpa, I don't want to marry Lu Xiche!"

The sudden words shocked all the guests present, including the Lu family.

Especially the expressions of Shen Yunxi's parents and brother suddenly changed.

I had never seen her react so strongly before, but this time it was as if she had been stimulated by something...

Shen Chenfeng was suspicious. Could something have happened during this period of time that caused her to change so much?

However, after hearing this, Shen Mingwei looked at his granddaughter who had just returned from outside with a serious expression, "Xi'er, don't make trouble. The marriage was arranged by the two families many years ago. It's not something you can just say you don't want to marry."

"But Xi'er doesn't love him, so how could she be willing to marry him?"

When the scene reached this point, the girl on the bed's breathing became noticeably faster.

Do not!

not like this……

Shen Yunxi, you love Lu Xiche and you married him...

The scene continued. She wanted to tell her past self but couldn't utter a word. She could only watch how she disappointed her family and continued on the road to death.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Xi'er has to get married whether she wants to or not."

Shen Mingwei's tone left no room for doubt.

There was no room for negotiation, which meant that she had lost the right to choose...

Even though she knew that this matter was set in stone, Shen Yunxi still refused to give in and said, "No... Grandpa, I don't care. I just won't marry you. I would rather die than marry that evil, cold, expressionless man named Lu Xiche!"

"Xi'er, shut up! How can you say that about your brother Xi Che? All your family education and manners have been wasted?" Shen Mingwei's tone could barely conceal his anger.

"Isn't that what I said?"

This was the first time Shen Yunxi dared to contradict her grandfather.

"You ignore etiquette, disrespect your elders, and speak ill of others. Do you still have the demeanor of a young lady from an aristocratic family?" Shen Mingwei was furious and shouted loudly, "Xi'er, have you ever thought about how others will look at you if the news gets out? What will they say about our Shen family?"

Talking bad about someone else's grandchildren and sons in front of their family is an act of betrayal and is undoubtedly an act of extreme disrespect and mischief. It may not only hurt others' feelings, but also trample on their personality and dignity!

He would never allow his juniors to be so rude!

After teaching his granddaughter a lesson, Shen Mingwei looked at the old man beside him and laughed, "Old Lu, this young man is so outspoken and doesn't know how to take things seriously. Please don't be offended. The marriage between the two families will remain the same and there will be no changes."

Even though Lu Chaoxuan was dissatisfied in his heart, he still laughed and didn't seem to care at all. "Why would I be surprised? It's normal for children of this age to be rebellious. We, as elders, naturally won't care about these details."

"Grandpa, I said I don't want to get married. Why are you forcing me to marry someone I don't love?" Shen Yunxi was filled with resentment and pain.

"Xi'er, this is not a question of forcing or not, do you understand?" Shen Mingwei looked at her seriously, "Emotions can also be cultivated slowly. In short, this matter ends here. The Shen family sticks to its original intention and will not change anything!"

"grandfather!"

"Stop talking, isn't it embarrassing enough?" Shen Mingwei's anger deepened, "If Xi'er still respects me as grandpa, then listen to me and accept the family's arrangements carefully. Don't have any more complaints or dissatisfaction."

Shen Yunxi was stunned. This was the first time her grandfather was so angry with her since she was a child, so she could only grit her teeth and hold her breath.

I had come here happily to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, but I didn't expect it to become so unhappy because of marriage issues.

Shen Chenfeng was afraid that his sister would do something that would make her family unhappy and embarrass herself, so he pulled her away from the crowded place.

"Tell me, what happened today? I never saw you so excited when I asked you to marry Lu Xiche before."

Seeing Shen Yunxi lowering her head and not speaking, Shen Chenfeng asked, "Are you in love?"

Shen Yunxi was shocked when he heard this. As expected, nothing could be hidden from his brother's eyes.

She slowly raised her head and met her brother's sharp eyes. Her lips moved, but she remained silent in the end.

"Speak up, I asked you if you are in love?"

The extremely cold tone made Shen Yunxi panic, "Yes..."

"Who is he?"

"He...he is..." Shen Yunxi hesitated, and never said it out loud because he was afraid that his brother would cause trouble for Ye Mu'an.

"Tell me, who is he?"

"No!"

Seeing that she was unwilling, Shen Chenfeng's face became even colder, "I will only say it once, tell me, who is that man?"

Her family was cruel to her, and her brother was forcing her like this. Shen Yunxi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt even more aggrieved. "Brother, why are you so mean to me too?"

"Okay, since you don't want to tell me who he is, I'll go check it out myself." Ye Mu'an left after saying these harsh words, leaving Shen Yunxi standing there stupidly.

After all the guests had left, Shen Yunxi mustered up the courage to find his grandfather and tried to persuade him again, "Grandpa, Xier really doesn't want to marry Lu Xiche."

"What did I just say? Has Xier forgotten what grandpa said?" Shen Mingwei's face suddenly turned cold.

"I'm grown up now and have my own ideas and choices." Shen Yunxi tried to use this sentence to balance her inner struggle, longing for their understanding.

"The Shen family's choice is your best choice!" Shen Jing, who had been silent all this time, spoke dignifiedly, "No matter what, the result is the same. Xi'er should give up trying to persuade them and just follow the Shen family's arrangement."

Shen Yunxi was still unwilling to marry a strange man.

Her grandfather refused to give in, and her father also joined forces with her grandfather. Shen Yunxi could only turn around and look at her mother and grandmother who loved her the most, and pin her hopes on them. "Grandma, Mom, Xier doesn't want to marry Lu Xiche at all. Can you help Xier persuade Grandpa and Dad?"

"Xi'er, the marriage was decided a long time ago. We in the Shen family cannot be treacherous. Once we make a promise, we must stick to it to the end." Old Lady Shen said helplessly as she looked at the aggrieved girl in front of her.

Although Jiang Yuan couldn't bear to see her daughter sad, she still said quietly, "Xi'er, you should listen to your grandfather and father."

No one was willing to help her, and Shen Yunxi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"grandmother……"

Shen Yunxi held the old lady's hands with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, "Do you want Xi'er to spend her life with someone she doesn't love, living a lonely and painful life, crying every day?"

"Xi'er, it's not that I don't want to help you, but grandma has no choice."

How could things turn out like this? Shen Yunxi stood there stiffly.

Is she really just going to accept her fate?

Do not!

She would never compromise so easily!

"I will never marry a man like Lu Xiche in this life!"

Seeing Shen Yunxi running upstairs sadly, Shen Chenfeng told her about her sister with a sullen face, which made Shen Mingwei very angry. He even ordered that Shen Yunxi could not leave the room within a month. Anyone who dared to disobey his order and let her out would be punished by the family rules!

Her cell phone was confiscated and she lost contact with Ye Muan. Her family also forced her to never leave the room again if she still insisted on not marrying Lu Xiche.

There was a lot of news about her outside. After a few days, her family still showed no sympathy towards her. Shen Yunxi felt like her days were passing by like years, and she cried every day.

I tried to escape several times but failed every time. I had no choice but to go on a diet and go to the hospital to make them soften their hearts.

Unfortunately, not only did her family not fall for her self-torture, but they were severely reprimanded and watched her even more closely than before.

Fearing that she would escape again, her brother had bodyguards guard the door of her ward at all times.

However, Shen Yunxi did not give up the idea. While her parents were home and the nanny was going downstairs to buy her food, Shen Yunxi immediately took the phone in the ward and called Ye Muan for help.

"Hey?"

The moment I heard his voice, all my thoughts turned into tears, "Mu An, it's me."

The other party was obviously silent for two seconds before he excitedly said, "Ning'er, where have you been these days? You didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

Shen Yunxi choked up as she told him, "My family forced me to marry Lu Xiche... I was locked up because I didn't want to..."

"Lock you up?"

"Yes... My family already knows about us. They are very angry. In order to prevent me from contacting you, they confiscated my phone and I can't go anywhere."

"This is too much!" Ye Muan clenched his fists.

It turned out that her family was trying to stop her, so he said that Shen Yunxi couldn't just disappear for no reason...

"The only way I can contact you now is because I went on a diet while in the hospital and secretly used the phone in the ward to call you."

"Mu An, please take me away and let's elope." She was really in pain and didn't want to endure it any longer.

"Are you sure?"

"No matter where you escape to, that's for sure."

"Okay, which hospital are you in? I'll come pick you up."

"Ren Ai Hospital, Ward 401." Shen Yunxi also reminded, "But there are bodyguards guarding the door, so be careful when you come over."

"Well, wait for me."

"Escape? Where does Xier want to escape to with that wild man?" Shen Yunxi still had the receiver in her hand. When she saw the man suddenly appear at the door, she sat stiffly on the bed.

"Brother...Brother..." Shen Yunxi was filled with panic and spoke in a broken tone, "Didn't you go back? How...how come you are...here?"
