Chapter 154 Meeting Old Master Song (2)

After a while, the line of people who wanted to go forward and give their gifts to him decreased. Only a few of them stayed to talk with Old Master Song, but they all still didn't stay for long for fear that the old master would be annoyed by their presence.

It was easy to see who wanted to curry favor with the Song family. Those who came forward early and very determined, even desperate, are those who had come to the party for a purpose other than just greeting and celebrating the Old Master Song's birthday.

They all had fawning smiles and gestures, looking like a vasal who frantically praised their kings.

Ran Xueyi also noticed that these people were tycoons around the country, proving to her once more that the Song family was truly powerful and mighty.

However, there were still some who stayed at their table and didn't move until the rest had cleared the area. It was needless to mention them as they were very obvious at a glance, they were the members of the four great families in the country. And very much like her, they were also watching this scene as if they're watching a show in a circus.

Once there were only one or two people who were left, Song Yu Han finally stood up. Ran Xueyi had to crane her neck to look up at him since he was very tall. His figure was also very distinguishable, and once he made a move, everyone couldn't stop themselves from turning their heads towards him.

As usual, Song Yu Han ignored their heated gazes and lowered his eyes to stare at Ran Xueyi. His peach blossom eyes were very deep and dark. It reflected her image perfectly and clearly in his eyes and appeared like she was the only one he could see in this world.

"Shall we?"

His voice was very deep and melodious in her ears, and without any effort, it made her blood heat up and warm her body.

Hiding her flush, Ran Xueyi nodded at him and took his outstretched hand. The moment their hands intertwined, she felt his fingers slowly slipping to take a tight hold of her hand.

Ran Xueyi was now feeling extremely nervous. His gesture was more than just being acquaintance and he was unafraid of anyone's gaze as he pulled her towards the Song family.

Unlike her, who tried to keep their relationship a secret for her own selfish demands and reasons.

Thinking about it, Ran Xueyi knew that she was being too self-absorbed that she forgot to ask about his real thoughts on the idea of keeping their marriage a secret.

If she remembered it, the two of them came to this decision solely because of her recent situation and events brought by her family's betrayal and the Yang family's manipulation that almost ruined her entire life.

At that time, she met Song Yu Han soon after a reawakening on her part, and agreed to his suggestion to marry. On the other hand, the two of them also agreed to keep their marriage under wraps and wait for the right time to announce their relationship.

Then, she found out that Song Yu Han approached her because of the accident at the clinic before he confessed that he eventually fell in love with her.

The two of them were still at the very early stage of their marriage and Ran Xueyi experienced betrayal from her loved ones, she couldn't just fall immediately in love with anybody else and wholly trust them.

Hence, it drove her to keep everything hidden.

But she didn't expect that Song Yu Han was a charming, honest, and gentle man, that her heart that was already torn apart and bruised black and blue by others was already a willing captive to him.

Staring at the tall and handsome man whom she would call 'husband', Ran Xueyi realized how selfish she was and how unfair it was for Song Yu Han to hide their relationship.

Now, a nagging question was ringing inside her ears.

Was now the right time to tell everyone the truth?

Ran Xueyi didn't have the time to inspect and get an answer because Song Yu Han called out to her and was looking at her worriedly.

She must have been thinking too deeply that she completely forgot about her surroundings and didn't hear whatever he was telling her.

"Sorry, I am just nervous," she apologized and smiled at him. "What did you say?"

Song Yu Han was stunned at her bright smile and took a brief pause. Outwardly, his expression didn't change, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile, making him squeeze the hand in his palms.

After much effort on calming his beating heart, Song Yu Han finally said, "I was just asking if you would like to come with me inside? My grandfather seems to want to talk to you."

Ran Xueyi now noticed that Old Master Song was no longer in his seat. It turned out that while she was thinking, the old man had gone back inside and left the grand hall. She didn't know what had been said between Song Yu Han or his grandfather, but it really seemed like she would need to go deeper inside the mansion to give the gift to Old Master Song.

Ran Xueyi didn't have the heart to refuse him and nodded her head in agreement. Since she already planned to meet Old Master Song on behalf of her grandparents, it doesn't matter in what way she will meet him. Either publicly like others, or privately.

As they made their way inside the mansion, her nerves were taut and she became even more nervous. This feeling... Every husband and wife who visits their in-laws should be familiar with it, right?

This will be the first time she will be formally meeting the grandfather of the man she married.

The pressure could be felt on her shoulders and chest.

Even so, Ran Xueyi bravely followed Song Yu Han to meet Old Master Song.
