C18 Marriage Yoke

Ke Ruyan had never seen such an expression on Qian Beibei's face before. She had always been carefree and unconcerned, as if she would forever be happy. But now, she unexpectedly revealed such a lonely and sorrowful expression.

"Bei Bei, we've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what sort of person I am? How could I …" Ke Ruyan spoke in a nasal tone. She was really touched. For the sake of having a good friend like Qian Beibei, a good friend.

"Perhaps in other people's eyes, this marriage is a great happiness. For me, Ke Ruyan, to be able to marry the CEO of the top stores, it is a great fortune. However, to me, this is simply a helpless choice. Ke Ruyan could only tell her feelings to her best friend. These words, in the ears of others, might have made her laugh. A wry smile appeared on Ke Ruyan's face.

The coffee in Qian Beibei's hand almost spilled out. She quickly put down the coffee cup and shook Ke Ruyan's hand that was on the table, "Ru Yan, why do you say that? "Don't you want to get married?" She was very surprised. She had always thought that Ke Ruyan had known Leng Mingxuan for a long time and that they had entered the marriage together because of their love for each other. That was why she felt that her good friend had hidden too much from her. But, it didn't seem to be the case? Qian Beibei was confused.

Qian Beibei held Ke Ruyan's soft hand. She could feel the warmth coming from Qian Beibei's body. It was warm and comfortable. She closed her eyes and let her long, rolling eyelashes cast a shadow over her face to hide the surge of emotion she felt in her heart.

"Bebe, a while ago, something happened to my family." The treasurer of the supermarket that my father was in charge of took all the money from the account and ran away. My father used all the means he had to find him. In the end, Daddy almost couldn't run the supermarket anymore, and he almost went bankrupt. " Ke Ruyan spoke softly about what had happened a while ago. Everything that had happened just now appeared clearly in front of her eyes. She would never forget the look of despair on her father's face when he received the call on her birthday, and the sad look on her mother's face.

Qian Beibei felt like she was listening to a story as she listened to these words. She didn't expect such a thing to happen to Ruyan. Wasn't this happening only in those portraits and novels? How could it …

She could clearly feel that Ke Ruyan's hand was trembling. She couldn't help but tighten her grip, wanting to use this opportunity to give Ke Ruyan some insignificant strength.

"Ru Yan, you said just now that it was close, but it didn't happen right? Is everything alright now? " Qian Beibei, for once in a rare moment, felt that she had found a crucial point.

Ke Ruyan nodded. She slowly opened her eyes with a puzzled expression, "That's right. Luckily Daddy's supermarket is still in good condition. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what would happen to him." Do you know who saved us? "

Qian Beibei stared unblinkingly at Ke Ruyan. Why did Ruyan have such an expression? Her face was filled with disbelief and sarcasm. She shook her head and said nothing.

"Hehe, the chairman of the top stores in the world. He actually personally went to find my father and said that he would help him solve this big problem. The condition is for me to marry his son, Leng Mingxuan." Ke Ruyan wanted to laugh, but was unable to.

"Eh? What was going on? Did Leng Mingxuan not propose the marriage himself? "It sounds like we're taking advantage of the situation …" Qian Beibei felt confused. She didn't know if there was a problem with her comprehension ability, but why did Ke Ruyan's words sound so hard to understand?

Ke Ruyan withdrew her hand from Qian Beibei's. Her palm was now covered in cold sweat.

"Ruyan, what happened to you?" Qian Beibei stood up from her seat, walked to Ke Ruyan's side and sat down, gently hugging her trembling body.

Relying on her most trusted friend, Ke Ruyan gradually felt less cold: "Yeah, it was only on the wedding day that I met Leng Mingxuan for the first time, we didn't even know each other before that."

"What?" Then why did he want to marry you? " Qian Beibei was shocked. What was going on? She turned around and looked at Ke Ruyan, who was leaning on her shoulder. Unexpectedly, an indescribable sadness filled her body.

Ke Ruyan let out a long sigh and slowly sat up straight. She looked at Qian Beibei's pink face and saw a deep concern: "Actually, Leng Mingxuan didn't want to marry me himself. It seems like he was forced to marry me. He told me that he would never love me in this life. We are just a pair of strangers wearing the clothes of a couple. "

"What did you say?" Qian Beibei felt that her strong little heart had received a fatal shock. She could no longer understand Ke Ruyan's words. What did it mean that he didn't want to marry her? What was the purpose of this enviable century-long wedding?

Ke Ruyan felt that her eyes were extremely watery. She didn't dare to blink because she was afraid that tears would roll down her cheeks: "Bei Bei, what I said is true, Leng Mingxuan doesn't even like me. I still don't know why he wants to marry me. All I know is that only by accepting this marriage can I save Dad's supermarket and our family. Actually, this marriage, to me, was just a trade. I sold myself to Leng Family. "

Ke Ruyan could no longer control her emotions as she threw herself into Qian Beibei's arms, letting her tears fall onto Qian Beibei's brand-new woolen coat.

Seeing Ke Ruyan's shoulders twitching and her entire body trembling, Qian Beibei helped her to pat her back. She was so shocked that she could not even remember what her surname was. Ru Yan didn't turn from Cinderella to Snow White as everyone had said. She seemed to have just gotten a bright and beautiful title, but in reality, it was one of her shackles …

"Ru Yan, Ru Yan, I really didn't think that it would actually be like this … Is Leng Mingxuan not good for you? If that's really the case, I will risk my life to seek justice for you! " Qian Beibei felt a surge of pride gushing out from the bottom of her heart. So what if she was the CEO? She wasn't afraid for her brother-in-law!
