I'm the villainous Dragon King? I start with a free 100-pull gacha pull for the female lead!

While playing with her cousin, Liu Ruyan heard her grandfather calling her. She hurriedly left Liu Weiwei and ran to the study by herself.

Liu Weiwei wanted to follow, but was stopped by the housekeeper.

"Miss Weiwei, the master is just recovering, and the doctor said it's not suitable for him to interact with too many people right now. So, would it be better if you went to see him alone first? You can go and greet him tomorrow when he's feeling better."

These words were perfectly watertight.

Even if Liu Weiwei is rebellious and disruptive, she still knows proper manners.

Her mother had taught her that she must never be impolite when she was out and about.

To avoid being gossiped about.

"Tch, who cares...."

Liu Weiwei pouted and went back to her room all by herself.

Lying on the soft bed, she would always think of that strange warmth.

Really comfortable.

Like being held in your mother's arms when you were a child.

"If only... if only I could be held again..."

The moment the thought crossed Liu Weiwei's mind, her cheeks flushed instantly. She pulled the blanket over her head and muttered under her breath in the darkness, "Pah! Liu Weiwei, what nonsense are you thinking! That stinky bodyguard, that pervert! I don't want him to hug me!"

But...it's so heartwarming...

The lonely night wind stirred the girl's unspoken feelings.

........

On the other side, Liu Ruyan arrived at the study and saw the aged face under the lamplight. She rushed to the old man, grabbed his hand, and her eyes were full of concern.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Look, the first thing they said was about his health.

He's much better than his good-for-nothing son.

"It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine."

Liu Wenshan patted her hand with a smile, increasingly pleased with his granddaughter, his smile full of kindness.

Ruyan looks like her grandmother and has a good personality.

He looked Liu Ruyan up and down a few times, and sighed:

"I haven't seen Ruyan for a few days, and she's become even more beautiful. I wonder which rascal will be lucky enough to give her a big, healthy great-grandson. Then Grandpa can go in peace."

"What are you saying, Grandpa?"

Liu Ruyan blushed deeply after he teased her, and gently punched the old man's shoulder.

You will live to be a hundred.

"Yes, they should live to be a hundred years old."

The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa would like to help you take care of the child himself."

"Grandpa! This can't be resolved, can it? Having children... I've never even been in a relationship, it's too early for that..."

Liu Ruyan feigned anger and reached out to tug at the old man's beard.

"Oh! Okay, okay, I won't tell you."

Liu Wenshan finally stopped teasing her and smiled as he raised his hands in surrender.

Seeing that her grandfather had stopped teasing her, Liu Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when she thought about how Ye Shu had been fired by her, her heart, which had been at ease, started to rise again.

Making decisions without consulting Grandpa is not the behavior of a good child.

Ye Shu was brought back by his grandfather himself.

Rather than being caught by Grandpa and then trying to deny it, it's better to confess now.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and said frankly:

"Grandpa... I... I expelled Ye Shu."

After saying that, she closed her eyes tightly, like a child waiting to be scolded.

But Liu Wenshan simply smiled, took her hand, and said softly:

"Oh? I bet my granddaughter must have had some reason for doing this, right? Tell Grandpa, what made you make this decision?"

Liu Ruyan opened her eyes in disbelief.

"Grandpa, you're not angry with me?"

"Strange? Why should it be strange?" Liu Wenshan said with a smile.

"You must have your reasons for doing this."

"I..." Liu Ruyan didn't expect her grandfather to react this way. She breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk about the engagement banquet.

"At the engagement banquet, Ye Shu hit me in front of everyone."

"I was very angry and embarrassed at the time, so... I fired him."

"I see..."

Liu Wenshan nodded in realization, but he also clearly noticed that his granddaughter's tone was off. If it were true, it should be full of energy, not weak and listless.

Before he could even ask, Liu Ruyan had already spoken first.

"But I was the one who hit him first."

Liu Ruyan suddenly raised her head.

"Back then, Luo Chen provoked him and even went up to fight him, but he was beaten to a pulp. I couldn't stand it and felt that he had disgraced our Liu family and ruined the relationship between the Luo and Liu families. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I was impulsive and wanted to slap him to teach him a lesson... Who knew..."

"Who knew he would hit me too? I acted impulsively and fired him."

"But when I think about it later, it seems that it really was my fault."

"Luo Chen attacked first. I hit him without even knowing what happened. Ye Shu didn't know the relationship between the Luo and Liu families. He has no responsibility to consider our marriage alliance. I was too presumptuous."

"However...however...I've already apologized..."

She blushed slightly.

Although he didn't directly say sorry.

But they've already called each other "Dad," so shouldn't that count as an apology?

The thought made her ears burn again, and she quickly shook her head, trying to banish those embarrassing images from her mind.

The old man looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction.

Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and doing good things is great.

In this respect alone, she is far superior to her good-for-nothing father.

After feeling relieved, the old man changed the subject.

"Ruyan, Grandpa heard that you accepted that Luo family boy's marriage proposal at the engagement banquet. Is that true?"

Liu Wenshan was somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't you used to complain to Grandpa all the time? That he was just a spoiled brat, good-for-nothing. And that he was always buzzing around you like a fly. How come you suddenly... agreed?"

"Grandpa, I really don't understand."

The old man was completely baffled.

Between Ye Shu and Luo Chen, why would my granddaughter choose Luo Chen?

This is utterly absurd!

A young lady from a prominent family, the future head of the Liu family.

Between a person with no relatives or friends and no fixed abode, and the heir of a powerful family who has the interests of hundreds of people to support, why would he choose the latter?

Liu Wenshan's eyes were full of disappointment, but he didn't show it.

He still wanted to hear what his granddaughter had to say.

"I... I said that in a fit of anger."

Liu Ruyan still regrets it now.

I don't know what happened back then. I was like I lost my mind. It should have been a good thing that Luo Chen took the initiative to break off the engagement, but after hearing his thoughts, I impulsively... agreed.

"Was it really just something said in anger?"

The old man looked at her sternly and said seriously.

"Ruyan, marriage is no joke."

"If you still refuse, everyone knows that the engagement banquet was something your father did while I was in a coma, so there's still room for negotiation. But once you agree in person at the engagement banquet, this matter will be set in stone."

"Grandpa can't help you either."

Upon hearing Liu Wenshan say this, Liu Ruyan felt a pang of panic.

She had only been being cheeky, purely to spite Luo Chen. She had never intended to actually marry into the Luo family. Now, being questioned so seriously by her grandfather, she suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.

Could it be that I'm really going to marry Luo Chen?

That notorious playboy from Yuecheng?

No!

It's terrifying to even think about.

Liu Ruyan's pretty face turned pale. She hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm and pleaded, "Grandpa, I was just being stubborn back then. I don't want to marry into the Luo family! I want to stay with you forever!"

Seeing his granddaughter's flustered state, Liu Wenshan burst into laughter.

"Look how panicked you are. Actually, the Luo family has already called to cancel the marriage."
