The office fell into a brief silence, Mu Yan faced Brother Shishen’s pressing gaze, feeling sowhat guilty.
Her eyes flickered as she looked down, trying to keep her tone calm, "I think she’s been gone for so many years, maybe she’s already found soone. Besides, your betrothal was just an adult’s jest. She was so young, maybe she doesn’t even rember it, considering there’s quite an age gap between you two."
As soon as she finished speaking, the office fell silent again.
Mu Yan could feel the man’s compelling gaze above her, could even hear their breath, and her heartbeat like a drum.
Actually, not only did she rember the grievances with Zhuang Shaoyang and Liang Rong, but also recalled her acquaintance with Brother Shishen, and she was the "fiancée" he ntioned.
However, she was only a few years old at the ti, completely ignorant of the aning of marriage, she just felt he was kind to her, so she wanted to marry him.
Of course, she knew her earlier words were sowhat unfeeling, but a swift cut resolves tangled threads, she didn’t want to harm him.
"Do you really think I’m still waiting for her?" A low chuckle reached her ears.
Mu Yan froze for a mont, raised her head to et Brother Shishen’s smiling eyes.
"Brother Ning..."
"That betrothal was just a joke from our parents; I never took it seriously. As the eldest son, my family has been pressing to marry all these years, which has been quite annoying, so I used this betrothal to shut them up." Brother Shishen looked at Mu Yan helplessly, "Since when did Nuannuan learn to probe people?"
Mu Yan froze for a mont, looking at his reproachful gaze, feeling a bit guilty, she pursed her lips and said apologetically, "Brother Shishen, I’m sorry."
"Did you just rember now?" Brother Shishen laughed and asked.
If she hadn’t rembered, upon seeing the photos of them as children just now, she wouldn’t have been so composed but would have inquired about their relationship.
And this call of Brother Shishen touched his heart, he’s grateful that his choice was right.
"Yes, I rembered a while ago." Mu Yan truthfully said, "Then, Brother Shishen, when did you know it was ?"
"A few months ago, I bla myself for knowing you so long but not recognizing you." Brother Shishen sighed, otherwise, he might still have had a chance.
"It’s not your fault, if bla is to be placed, it’s on my own amnesia."
"How are your relations with your family?" Brother Shishen asked.
Mu Yan knew the family he referred to was the Zhuang Family, and truthfully said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt are all good to ."
"Your elder cousin isn’t good to you?"
"He’s fine."
Brother Shishen raised an eyebrow, "Fine? If Zhuang Yi heard this, how sad would he be; he treasured you as his baby sister when you were young. Every ti I went to your ho to play with you, your cousin would fight with several tis, fearing I’d steal you away."
Mu Yan recalled Zhuang Yi’s sowhat fawning deanor before her, sighing inwardly, Zhuang Yi indeed treated her quite well.
But she didn’t know how to interact with Zhuang Yi, always feeling there’s a wall between them.
"When are you and Jing Heng having the wedding?" Brother Shishen suddenly switched topics.
"Haven’t decided yet, he and I don’t care for the formality, but when we do have the wedding, I’ll definitely send you an invitation."
"Great!" Brother Shishen nodded, his fingers tapped the design drafts in his hand, "Then I’ll take this order."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Shishen."
Brother Shishen chuckled lightly, "Why be polite, with just this call of Brother Shishen, no matter how difficult, I’ll make it happen for you."
Even if he has to watch her live happily with another man.
