"You...!"
Old Master Song's hand that was gripping the new chess piece in his hand tightened. He stared at Ran Xueyi with widened eyes, looking as if he had just seen a ghost standing before him.
But no matter what the expression on his face looked like, Old Master Song's heart and mind was very chaotic at this moment. His heart inside his chest was beating so fast that it never beat like this before!
As for his mind, it was swirling with words that he even couldn't understand before it finally combined and took the form of a sentence with a bright red question mark.
'What did she just say?'
Old Master Song thought that he lost his voice since he had been trying so hard, but he couldn't utter a sound for a while.
A minute later, he finally found his voice, but he still croaked at the very beginning.
"Y-you... What did you just say? You two are what?"
Ran Xueyi found the old man's reaction very interesting, but couldn't find it in herself to tease him and thus repeated the words she said, but a bit shorter and simpler.
"We're married."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Master Song was really someone very outstanding and brilliant even in his old age. Though at first, he was slightly slow, he still recovered the second time and reacted very fast this time.
"Are you really telling the truth?" Old Master Song stared at her suspiciously, "This is my grandson we're talking about here, not just any man. That child even promised to never marry anyone in this life!"
Ran Xueyi didn't have anything to say to that. She also thought that with Song Yu Han's experience and past, if he vowed to never marry, he really would never marry even if someone pointed a gun at his head.
However, it was really the truth that she was married to Song Yu Han.
To prove that she was telling the truth, Ran Xueyi took her phone out and searched for something.
Old Master Song waited very patiently and didn't stop her either. He really wanted to know if she was lying or not. It was better if it was the latter since that would mean he could finally rest his worries towards Song Yu Han.
However, if it was the former...
Though he didn't want to be enemies with Ran Yiqing, he really can't take this conversation only for it to turn into a joke.
But Ran Xueyi already found the thing she wanted to find and kindly handed her phone for him to see.
Old Master Song was still skeptical about her words, but when he lowered his head and saw the picture Ran Xueyi showed him, he couldn't say anything else. He switched between looking at her and the picture on the phone before returning his gaze to look at her.
On the screen of her phone was a pastel colored paper with black and light red writings on it. It also showed the names, dates and the most noticeable thing was the picture of a couple with a red background behind them while smiling back at the camera.
It was Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi's photo.
Even if Old Master Song wanted to tell himself that the photo was fake, he really couldn't say it!
"It... it's really true? You two are really married?" Old Master Song repeated his question.
Ran Xueyi nodded, "Yes... We've been married for a few months now."
Ran Xueyi was feeling slightly dazed. Originally, her plan that day was to become her grandparents' substitute to attend Old Master Song's birthday, but who could have known that not only did she end up being called Song Yu Han's 'lover', she even confessed that she was married to him to his grandfather.
Truly, this was all unplanned and it also caught her off guard.
But there was no unsightly feeling of being discovered, the only lingering feeling inside her was the feeling of liberation, the effect of being able to tell the truth to someone else.
Somehow, she found this feeling truly wonderful and she couldn't help but feel excited. She even had the thought of finally confessing to the world about her marriage with Song Yu Han.
At this moment, Old Master Song also accepted this revelation. He was silent for a second as he looked at the picture for a bit longer before he suddenly raised his head and asked a question that Ran Xueyi found a bit difficult to respond to.
"Since you've been married to each other for a while... Then, do you two have any plans to announce this publicly?"
Old Master Song was really curious about this. He realized that this world-breaking news was never found out by anyone and he ended up thinking that there must be some reason behind it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven so, Old Master Song didn't think that it was right to let them continue hiding it thus, he asked this question.
Ran Xueyi did not know how to answer this. She does have plans to announce her marriage publicly, but it wasn't the right time.
Her family situation added to the fact that she recently announced that her engagement with Yang Baihua was no longer, there was also the scandal where Yang Baihua was caught cheating on her.
If she came forward now and announced that she was married to Song Yu Han or found someone already only after several days after the scandal blew up, even if some might believe it, there were still some people who would make trouble and throw dirty waters in the midst of this situation.
Not only would her initial plans to make her family and Yang Baihua suffer for what they did to her get ruined, Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han would be dragged to be beaten by everyone for having double standards.
Ran Xueyi didn't care if others called her hypocrite for calling others out due to them cheating on her, but she couldn't let Song Yu Han suffer because of her.
It would be very tasteless and ridiculous for her to do that to him.
Thus, she made up her mind to not announce their real relationship to others for now and let the world calm down.
Then, she would announce it to the world...
Song Yu Han and Butler Chen returned to the room after a trip to the kitchen. Each of them were holding something in their hands and when they entered the room, they froze at the scene before them.
Previously, Butler Chen was worrying that Old Master Song roasted and made the woman his younger master brought with him when they left. He couldn't help but hasten a bit when fetching some drinks and snacks so they could return quicker.
But who knew that the scene that they would witness when they came back was too peaceful and pure.
In front of them, the two whom they were worried about were sitting across each other, playing a game of chess with their lips both smiling.
