Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Shen Yuting’s Engagement

Shen Yunfeng’s eyes also revealed a hint of helplessness, although the Shen Family in Tianhai held vast power, and no one dared to provoke them, there was still a significant gap compared to the Yanjing Yaan Family.

Now that the marriage agreement was set, canceling it would be tantamount to slapping the Yaan Family’s face, which would certainly enrage them. Even if Shen Yunfeng were the Mayor of Tianhai, it would be of no use; the Yaan Family could easily force him out of office.

So, even if Shen Yunfeng wanted to let his daughter have the right to choose her own marriage, he was powerless to do so.

Hearing Shen Yunzhang’s words, Xiao Yifeng gradually came to understand - it seemed that Shen Yuting’s situation was similar to Ye Yaxin’s. However, he didn’t know what kind of person that Young Master Yaan was.

Thinking about Shen Yuting, a supreme beauty and campus belle, about to become someone else’s fiancée, a somewhat unpleasant feeling stirred in Xiao Yifeng’s heart.

”Old Master Shen, how about I go and have a talk with Miss Shen? Perhaps I could provide some guidance for her!”

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng spoke, and both Shen Yunzhang and Shen Yunfeng turned their gazes towards him.

Mei Fangting pondered for a moment and then said, ”That might be a good idea. Little Feng, you and Yuting are of the same age, you should be able to have a good chat. Yuting is a rather reserved child and doesn’t have many friends. It would be nice for you to talk to her, to see what’s on her mind.”

”Fang Ting is right, go ahead, Little Feng!” said Shen Yunzhang and Shen Yunfeng, one after another.

”Okay then!”

Xiao Yifeng nodded and stood up, making his way upstairs.

With a sweep of his X-ray vision, Xiao Yifeng headed straight for Shen Yuting’s room.

Bang bang!

Xiao Yifeng knocked on Shen Yuting’s door and said, ”Miss Shen, may I come in?”

There was no response from the room for a long time, but Xiao Yifeng did not leave. Instead, he quietly waited. Then, with a creak, the door opened, and Shen Yuting appeared before him.

But at that moment, Shen Yuting’s delicate face was tinged with a hint of sorrow, and her brows seemed to be clouded with many concerns.

”Mr. Xiao, is something the matter?”

Shen Yuting asked, looking at Xiao Yifeng.

”May I come in and talk with you?” Xiao Yifeng asked with a bright smile and spirited eyes.

Looking at Xiao Yifeng’s sunny smile, tinged with a hint of wicked charm, Shen Yuting, for some reason, felt her heart flutter.

”Miss Shen, what’s the matter?”

Seeing Shen Yuting a bit distracted, Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but speak.

”Oh, it’s nothing, please come in!” Shen Yuting came to her senses and quickly replied.

Walking into Shen Yuting’s room, Xiao Yifeng smelled a faint fragrance in the air, the natural scent emanating from Shen Yuting, even more pleasant than any perfume.

The more beautiful a woman, the more fragrant her natural scent, and Shen Yuting truly was a supreme beauty, dressed in a long white dress, like a princess.

Shen Yuting’s room was simple and clear, with just a big bed, a computer desk, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf, without any other decorations.

On the bed was a brown teddy bear, suggesting that the campus belle might still harbor a trace of girlishness in her heart.

Possibly for the first time ever having a male visitor in her room, Shen Yuting was somewhat at a loss what to do, and after a while, she finally spoke.

”Do... do you need something from me?”

Xiao Yifeng took a seat next to the computer desk, looking at Shen Yuting, ”Are you perhaps not very willing to accept the marriage that Old Master Shen has arranged for you?”

Shen Yuting heard Xiao Yifeng’s words and fell silent, looking down with a flicker in her eyes.

”I can tell you have some resistance to this marriage, but you don’t want to say it out loud, not wanting to make your grandfather and parents feel awkward, right?” Xiao Yifeng continued.

”That Old Master Yaan saved Grandpa’s life years ago. If not for him, maybe I wouldn’t even exist. Grandpa isn’t wrong to do this, I can understand him.”

”It’s just that I want a simple romance, to marry someone I love, not some Yaan Family Young Master. But as a member of the Shen Family, I can’t be so selfish.”

”I know if I truly didn’t want this, perhaps Grandpa would respect my wishes. However, doing so would offend the Yaan Family and bring huge troubles to the Shen Family, even jeopardizing my father’s career. I can’t do that.”

Shen Yuting spoke calmly, clearly seeing through everything. She knew the troubles that could befall the Shen Family if the marriage were called off, so she would rather endure the hardship herself than cause trouble for her family and relatives.

Hearing Shen Yuting’s words and seeing the sorrow in her eyes, Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help wondering if Ye Yaxin felt the same, deeply moved in his heart.

”If you really want to be true to yourself, then just do it. Don’t suppress or wrong yourself. I believe Old Master Shen and your uncle and aunt will understand you.”

”Since that Old Master Yaan is a senior military officer, if you don’t want to be with his grandson, it’s not like he can force you to marry him. Even if Old Master Shen wants to repay him for saving his life, there are many other ways; you don’t have to do this.”

Xiao Yifeng spoke, trying to persuade Shen Yuting.

”It’s just that...”

”Don’t think too much; follow your own heart. Marriage is a woman’s lifetime commitment; you must choose the right person, or else you will end up regretting it,” Xiao Yifeng said seriously, as he looked at Shen Yuting.

”Thank you.”

Listening to Xiao Yifeng’s words, Shen Yuting was visibly moved, pondered for a long time, and then smiled.

That smile, bright as a hundred flowers in bloom, complemented by Shen Yuting’s flawless beauty and her pure and fresh temperament, was mesmerizing!

Even Xiao Yifeng was somewhat intoxicated by her beauty, and as Shen Yuting noticed Xiao Yifeng continuously watching her, her pretty face turned a shade of red, and she became shyly bashful, bowing her head.

”Sorry!” Xiao Yifeng apologized, offering a sheepish smile.

”It’s okay,” Shen Yuting shook her head and then said, ”Thank you for what you said to me earlier. You’re the first friend who has said those words to me.”

”Really? Then I’m very pleased. To be friends with Miss Shen, such a beautiful and popular girl, is my honor!”

”You can just call me Yuting from now on!” Shen Yuting said, and this was the first time she had allowed a man to call her by her name.

”All right, from now on, I will call you Yuting, and you can call me Yifeng!”

”You must be older than me, I’ll call you Brother Xiao,” Shen Yuting said quietly.

”Okay, with that said, I should take my leave now.”

Xiao Yifeng said a word and then stood up, leaving the room.

Watching Xiao Yifeng’s retreating figure, a gleam flashed in Shen Yuting’s eyes. She walked to the computer desk, opened a drawer, and took out a piece of drawing paper.

The portrait sketched on the paper was of Xiao Yifeng; it was the very same she had drawn of him at school. Xiao Yifeng didn’t keep it, but she had held onto it.

Staring at the drawing of Xiao Yifeng, Shen Yuting seemed lost in thought.
