"Nona Muda—"
Sapaan hormat bergema spontan dari semua orang.
Sapaan itu formal dan terdengar sangat keras serta gembira.
Berdiri di barisan terdepan, Nian Xiaomu termangu sejenak mendengar cara panggilan asing itu.
Dia menoleh ke Matriarch Yu yang tersenyum hangat penuh kasih, lalu menepuk telapak tangan sambil berkata, "Nakal, menunggu apa lagi? Bertindaklah sebagai wanita rumah tangga. Mulai sekarang, Keluarga Yu ada di tanganmu dan Yu Yuehan. Nenek tua sepertiku bisa beristirahat nyaman di sisa hayatku dan menikmati kehidupan bebas urus sambil bermain dengan cucu-cucuku."
"Nenek…"
"Nenek tahu, ini berat bagimu. Yuehan dingin seperti bulu kuduk, dia bahkan tidak bisa membuat gadis bahagia. Kecuali tampang ganteng, dia tidak punya kebaikan lain sama sekali. Sungguh langka, dengan temperamen panas seperti itu, dia masih bisa menipu… maksudku, membujuk gadis luar biasa sepertimu. Pasti karena orang tuanya yang sudah meninggal memberkatinya dari surga. Tapi, berkat dia punya anak perempuan seimut Xiao Liuliu, tolong terimalah dia dan menikah dengannya, ya?"
Nian Xiaomu bergumam, "Eh…"
Kalau dia setuju, bukankah berarti dia juga merasa menikah dengan Yu Yuehan itu merelakan diri?
Tapi kalau menolak, bukankah berarti dia bahkan tidak mau merelakan diri untuk Yu Yuehan, dan bukankah itu lebih memalukan baginya?
Nian Xiaomu menggigit bibir dan diam-diam menoleh ke pria tertentu berdiri di sampingnya.
Mendengar kata-kata neneknya, wajah tampan Yu Yuehan sudah menggelap.
Ekspresi kompleks di wajahnya membuat Nian Xiaomu menduga dia mungkin bertanya-tanya apakah dia cucu yang ditemukan keluarga Yu di sembarang tempat…
Tapi, demi menikah dengan sukses, dia tidak punya pilihan selain terus menggali lubang untuk mengubur dirinya sendiri di titik ini.
Yu Yuehan melangkah cepat dan memegang tangan Nian Xiaomu erat-erat.
Bibir tipisnya ternganga sedikit, menandakan dia mencoba membujuk.
"Nian Xiaomu, menunggu apa lagi? Sebagai anak muda, kau harus menghormati orang tua. Cepat, bilang ke Nenek kalau kamu setuju."
Di samping kakinya, Xiao Liuliu masih berusaha keras sebagai saingan sambil ngomong-ngomong, "Kalau Mommi tidak mau menikah dengan Daddi, kamu bisa menikah dengan Xiao Liuliu ya!"
Saat berikutnya, tangan Yu Yuehan menutup mulut kecil itu.
Yang terdengar hanya suara gemeris.
Ayah dan anak berdiri di sana, mata mereka terpaku padanya.
Nian Xiaomu bingung ingin mundur, tapi Yu Yuehan memegang tangannya erat, menolak melepaskan.
"Ini terlalu tiba-tiba, beri aku waktu untuk tenang dan memikirkannya…"
Malam tadi, saat akan tidur, mereka masih membahas mundurkan pernikahan setahun.
Meski dia akhirnya tidak setuju, dia tidak sangka dia tiba-tiba mengundang semua orang tua Keluarga Yu ke sini dan memperkenalkannya secara formal ke semua orang.
Sekarang, mereka bahkan akan melompat ke tahap menikah langsung, melewati pertunangan.
Justru dia baru saja mengeluh dia belum diajak ambil foto pre-wedding dengan benar, dia tiba-tiba membuat langkah besar seperti ini…
Saat ini, dia merasa jantungnya tidak berfungsi dengan baik.
Dia juga tidak bisa menahan napas dan merasa dada membara.
Tatapannya ke Yu Yuehan bahkan mulai berkaca-kaca.
Meski dia tidak berkata apa-apa, dia tahu dia yang mengatur semua hari ini.
Kalau Nenek hanya ingin memperkenalkan orang tua Keluarga Yu padanya, dia tidak perlu mengumpulkan mereka semua di sini.
Kecuali dia sendiri yang menginginkannya.
Dia membantu meneguhkan posisinya dan mengumumkan ke semua orang bahwa dia adalah wanita yang dipilih Yu Yuehan, dan Nona Muda satu-satunya Keluarga Yu!
Melihat dia masih mempertimbangkan, Yu Yuehan menariknya ke pelukannya dan berkata pelan, "Sudah berapa lama aku memintamu menikah denganku? Apa yang tiba-tiba dari ini? Nian Xiaomu, kau tahu kan kalau sekarang kau mau keluar dari pernikahan ini, aku tidak akan setuju, kan?"

“Young Mistress—”
Respectful greetings resounded spontaneously from everyone.
The greeting was formal and sounded exceptionally loud and cheery.
Standing at the very front, Nian Xiaomu was in a daze for a moment after hearing this unfamiliar way of addressing her.
She turned to look at Matriarch Yu, who had a warm and affectionate grin on her face, and slapped her palm as she remarked, “Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Put on the air as the woman of the household. In future, the Yu Family is in the hands of you and Yu Yuehan. An old lady like me can rest comfortably in my remaining days and lead a carefree life playing with my grandchildren.”
“Grandma…”
“Grandma knows, it’s hard on you. Yuehan’s as cold as a goosebump, and he can’t even make a girl happy. Other than having handsome looks, he has no other virtue at all. It’s really rare that with such a hot temper of his, he can still deceive… I mean, coax a wonderful girl like you. I’m sure it’s because his late parents have been blessing him from the heavens. But, on the account that he has such an adorable daughter like Xiao Liuliu, please just make do with him and marry him, okay?”
Nian Xiaomu murmured, “Err…”
If she were to agree to it, wouldn’t it mean that she too felt that marrying Yu Yuehan would be settling for less than she deserved?
But, if she refused to agree, wouldn’t that mean that she wasn’t even willing to make do with Yu Yuehan, and wouldn’t that be more embarrassing for him?
Nian Xiaomu bit her lip and silently turned to glance at the particular someone standing beside her.
Upon hearing his grandmother’s words, Yu Yuehan’s handsome face had already darkened.
The complex emotions on his face made Nian Xiaomu speculate that he was probably wondering if he was a grandson who had been picked up somewhere by the Yu Family…
But, in order to successfully get married, he had no choice but to continue digging a hole to bury himself at this point.
Yu Yuehan walked forward briskly and held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand tightly.
His thin lips were parted slightly, meaning that he was trying to coax her.
“Nian Xiaomu, what are you waiting for? As a junior, you have to be respectful to your elders. Quick, tell Grandma that you’ve agreed.”
Right beside his foot, Xiao Liuliu was still making her last effort as a competitor as she blabbered, “If Mommi doesn’t want to marry Daddi, you can marry Xiao Liuliu okay!”
The next moment, Yu Yuehan’s hand had covered her tiny mouth.
All that could be heard were muffled sounds.
The father and daughter stood there, their eyes intently fixed on her.
Nian Xiaomu was at such a loss that she wanted to retreat, but Yu Yuehan held onto her hand tightly, refusing to let her go.
“It came too suddenly today, give me some time to calm down and think about it…”
Last night, when they were about to sleep, they were still discussing pushing back the wedding by a year.
Although he had not agreed to it at the end, she had not expected that he would suddenly invite all the elders in the Yu Family over and formally introduce her to everyone.
Now, they were even going to skip their engagement and get married straight away.
Just when she was just complaining that he had not even taken her to get their wedding pictures done properly, he had suddenly made such a big move…
At present, she felt that her heart was not working too well.
She was also unable to catch her breath and felt her chest heating up.
Her gaze towards Yu Yuehan was even turning watery.
Even though he had not said anything, she knew that he had arranged everything today.
If Grandma wanted to introduce the elders of the Yu Family to her, she did not have to especially gather them all here.
Unless he was the one who wanted it.
He was helping her establish her authority and also announcing to everyone that she was the woman Yu Yuehan was set on, and the one and only Young Mistress of the Yu Family!
Seeing how she was actually still considering, Yu Yuehan pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, “How long have I been asking you to marry me now? What is so sudden about this? Nian Xiaomu, you do know that even if you want to get out of this marriage now, I won’t agree to it, right?”
