Ye Jinnian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Didn't Du Jingyun want to see his parents before? When he said he would take her back to Lingnan, Du Jingyun was very happy.

She should have thought at that time that he wanted to take her to meet his parents.

That's why I wanted to take her back to Huaicheng.

"Come in and we can chat!" Ye Jinnian said.

Du Jingyun took a deep breath, but still did not move.

He stared at Du Jingyun for a while before walking out.

Outside the ancestral hall, the two stood opposite each other.

Du Jingyun's hands were tightly entangled together. It was obvious how nervous Du Jingyun was at the moment. It seemed that she had no idea where to start talking to him.

After a long time, Du Jingyun seemed to have finally found the sound.

"Marshal, do you really want to marry me? Or are you marrying me because my father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce?" Du Jingyun took great effort and finally said this.

Then, Du Jingyun lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Jinnian's expression.

She was a little scared.

I’m afraid I’ll hear something I don’t want to hear.

"Is there any necessary connection?" Ye Jinnian asked.

Du Jingyun's mind flashed back to the situation between Shen Chaoyan and that man. If they couldn't have a happy ending after getting married, Du Jingyun suddenly realized that some marriages were not necessary.

"Marshal, if you just want my father's help, actually... you don't have to marry me? I will still ask my father to support you in Lingnan. He can support you with or without me." Du Jingyun took a deep breath and looked up at Ye Jinnian.

Suddenly I realized that it wasn't that difficult to say it out loud. I thought I really liked her and that it would be difficult and painful to say these words, but now...

Du Jingyun found that he just felt it was difficult, but in fact, as long as he was willing to say it, he could still say it.

Ye Jinnian was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her and asked, "What did someone say to you?"

Du Jingyun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "No, no one told me anything. It's just... I know very well that you don't like me at all in your heart. You're willing to marry me because of my father. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself."

Du Jingyun took a deep breath, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ye Jinnian. She felt very uncomfortable, sour and bitter in her heart, and her eyes hurt.

She bit her lower lip and didn't look at Ye Jinnian.

She was afraid that if she looked at him any longer, she would regret what she had just said.

"What did Shen Chaoyan say?" Ye Jinnian asked again. Du Jingyun has been with Shen Chaoyan recently. If Shen Chaoyan hadn't said anything to her, Du Jingyun wouldn't have done all these things so suddenly and inexplicably. She used to be very well-behaved.

Du Jingyun immediately looked up at Ye Jinnian and asked, "Why do you think Chao Yan said something to me? Ye Jinnian, I'm a woman. I don't believe you can't see my feelings for you; but I can also sense your indifference towards me. Yesterday in the car, I thought you would at least talk to me, but you would rather pretend to sleep than talk to me."

"We've been engaged for over half a year now, and I can count on one hand the number of times you've said something to me and the number of times we've eaten together. I don't want this to happen. I also hope that the man I'm going to marry in the future likes me, rather than me trying to please someone who doesn't like me, only to end up watching the man I love getting close to other women."

"I'm not that magnanimous, and I can't do it!"

"I did ask Chao Yan, should we continue? If I plunge in, will it really make you look at me more?"

"Chao Yan didn't say anything. She just said that everything should be done according to one's own heart. She didn't try to persuade me or tell me to leave you. It's just... I feel very tired and there seems to be no hope, so I think I should talk to you!"

After Du Jingyun finished speaking in one breath, she wiped the tears from her face and looked up at Ye Jinnian. She asked, "Marshal Ye, so I want to ask you, do you like me even a little bit?"

Du Jingyun stared at him, trying to find some clues from his face, but the man's expression was still indifferent, as if he didn't hear her words, so calm and indifferent.

It's like an animal without emotions.

Du Jingyun stared at him for a long time. The man frowned the whole time but did not answer her.

Du Jingyun took a deep breath and said, "I understand. When I return to Lingnan, I will tell my father about the cancellation of the engagement. The Marshal can rest assured that my father will still support you and will not damage their cooperation because of me."

After saying that, Du Jingyun turned around. This man didn't even want to lie to her.

Not to mention wanting to hear him say that he liked her, she couldn't even hear a word that he didn't like her.

It’s so ridiculous to think about it this way.

"and many more!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Ye Jinnian finally spoke.

Du Jingyun paused and turned his back to him without turning around.

"When we got engaged, I made it very clear that my heart is in my career. You won't get love between men and women from me!" Ye Jinnian said in a deep voice.

"Yeah! So I was just wishful thinking and greedy! From now on... I won't do that again."

After saying this, Du Jingyun didn't linger any longer, as if he felt a lot more relaxed after finishing speaking.

It was no longer like before, with a lump of depression in her chest. Although she still felt uncomfortable, Ye Jinnian could not give her the love she wanted.

"Marshal, why did you let Miss Du go like this? You should at least comfort her!" Adjutant Liu did not come out of the ancestral hall, but he heard their conversation clearly.

"A naughty woman is never what I want. Since she can't do it, then let's replace her!" Ye Jinnian said coldly.

What he has always wanted is power. If a woman is icing on the cake and is of some use to him, he is happy to keep her.

If a woman has too many thoughts and desires things that should not exist, then this is her stupidity.

He won't spoil it.

With power, he can have any woman he wants!

"Marshal, how many women here can love you as wholeheartedly as Miss Du! Have you forgotten that when you were injured before, it was Miss Du who stayed by your side day and night? That time you were injured so badly, the doctor said you... those women who wanted to get close to you were so scared when they heard about your condition that they wanted to hide away. Only Miss Du stayed with you. The doctor said that you needed a hundred-year-old ginseng to keep you alive so that you could receive subsequent treatment. It was Miss Du who went back and fetched the five-hundred-year-old ginseng that the Du family treasured and gave it to you!"

"You probably don't know, but that's the Du family's heirloom. Because of this... Miss Du was punished by Master Du to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights. If she hadn't fainted in the hall, it would have been more than three days and three nights!"

Adjutant Liu saw Du Jingyun fall into coma with his own eyes. When she was carried out by the Du family, her face was pale.

"Why have you never said it?" Ye Jinnian asked in a deep voice.

He actually didn't know these things.

Adjutant Liu looked helpless. "I wanted to tell you, but the first thing Miss Du said when she woke up was not to tell you about this. And when you were injured, those people were ready to make a move. After you recovered, you were busy dealing with them. How could you have time to visit Miss Du?"

"Later... I forgot about this matter!" Adjutant Liu also felt a little guilty.

Ye Jinnian's expression was grim, and then he raised his foot and ran forward.

"Commander?"

"I'm going to find her, no need to follow!"
