A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 326 Play Rock-Paper-Scissors in front of the Mirror

Linda obviously knew why Lord Nalan was this mad. He wanted to teach Charles a lesson!

Hence, she briskly trotted toward Lord Nalan and sweetly said, "Grandfather, what's wrong? Are you

not happy with your granddaughter's future husband?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Your future husband? Where is he then? I don't see him here!"

Lord Nalan seemed to deliberately ignore Charles. The awkward atmosphere of the

Moment dumbfounded Linda.

Fortunately, there were only the three of them, and not even a servant, in the room. It seemed that

even though Lord Nalan had intended to be hard on Charles, he did not want to publicly humiliate him.

That's why all the servants left after they had served all the dishes.

If that was the case, then it was a good sign. It showed that he wasn't entirely opposed to their

relationship.

"Grandfather, I'm bearing his child now. Do you really want to see this child grow up without a father?"

With puppy dog eyes, Linda held and swayed her grandfather's hands. Soon after, Lord Nalan's face

softened.

But he still didn't show any inclination of giving his consent at that moment.

"So what if it's his child? Is the Nalan clan incapable of feeding a child? Let me ask you something.

Where was he when you needed him the most? Besides, he made you pregnant before he marries

you. He's obviously an irresponsible man!"

Lord Nalan snorted and cast Charles a glance of disdain.

Actually, it was the first time Lord Nalan had the chance to observe Charles. He could sense some

nobility emanated from him at first sight. He was mad simply because Linda could have died if he

hadn't saved her.

What use was Charles if he wasn't there to save Linda?

Just as Linda was about to say something, Charles suddenly spoke.

Even though Lord Nalan showed him no courtesy, Charles didn't seem to be riled up. He just stared at

Lord Nalan with his dark eyes.

"My Lord, indeed, it was my mistake for not taking good care of Linda. Our wedding has been settled

four months ago, but there had been a number of mishaps, so we weren't able to push through with it.

But I can assure you now that I will have my mother and father make arrangements for the wedding

once I get back today."

"Make arrangements? Have I given you my consent for it?" With his expression still intimidating, Lord

Nalan didn't even bother looking at Charles.

"My Lord, we are already engaged, and our parents have given us their blessings. Also, the

engagement has also been contracted by the Mu and the Xia clans. Above all, I love Linda with all my

heart, "

Charles spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor pushy, and it seemed that he intended to use

the engagement to help him. Trying not to burst into laughter, Linda was about to say something, but

she was interrupted by her grandfather.

"How dare you threaten me with that engagement! See if you can marry her without my consent, young

man."

Lord Nalan looked dignified, but not irritated, which scared Linda a little bit.

Linda had a feeling that her grandfather was not really angry, but Linda was still rendered speechless.

She worried that Charles would not be able to restrain his temper, since he had always been stubborn,

and no one had ever talked to him like this.

After all, he was the Young Master of the Mu clan.

"My Lord, I'm afraid that you have misunderstood. My main point was that I love Linda with all my heart,

and I should take responsibility for the things that happened. From now on, I swear that I will make

amends to this woman for the rest of my life."

Charles knew that he could not get Lord Nalan's consent easily because of the things that happened. If

he, the Young Master of the Mu clan and the CEO of Mu Group, could not protect his woman, then

what was the point of his existence?

Hence, he had decided that he would not talk back, no matter how much Lord Nalan provoked him.

Staring at Charles, Lord Nalan was somewhat satisfied with him, Or at least with his attitude.

"Do you truly want to marry her?"

Asked Lord Nalan, with a poker face.

"Yes, My Lord. I want to give her the best wedding the world has ever seen." As he said so, Charles

stared at Linda with his deep, dark eyes. Linda could sense traces of affection in them.

"If you could agree to three terms and complete three things, then I shall give you my consent, "

Said Lord Nalan with his eyes glaring at Charles.

'Three terms and three things? Isn't that six in total?' Charles thought to himself. Confused, Linda

wondered what her grandfather was up to.

"Grandfather..."

"Linda, stay out of this. Your life belongs to me now since I saved you in the river. If he wants to marry

you, he must meet my demands. Otherwise, I'll never let him marry you." Lord Nalan was still stubborn.

Linda had to cast Charles an apologetic glance.

She had not expected that Lord Nalan would actually be hard on Charles

And that he would make Charles do so many things.

"I'm listening." Charles threw Linda a glance, signaling her to calm down.

He had prepared himself for whatever was coming to him. He did not believe that there was anything

beyond his ability, unless Lord Nalan really did not want him to marry Linda at all.

But actually Charles knew that Lord Nalan was angry with him

And wanted to make it difficult for him.

"All right then. You can finish the three things first!"

"Okay."

"First, I need you to play Rock-Paper-Scissors in front of the mirror. If you win, then you would have

finished the first one."

Linda's mind went blank instantly. How could anyone win the game in front of his or her own image?

Unless... it was a ghost in the mirror.

Linda got goosebumps as she thought about it.

"Grandfather, are you serious? That's impossible! If you keep doing this, I will never get married and

will end up alone with myself!" Linda pouted and kept shaking Lord Nalan's arm, trying to convince him

out of this.

However, Lord Nalan merely cast her a glance and said, "Linda, sit down. If he can't complete these

three things, I will never allow him to marry you. My granddaughter will never run out of suitors. I

promise you that all the masters will flock into this house if I said I'm seeking out a man for you."
