Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: The Wedding is Next Week Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: The Wedding is Next Week She clearly had no recollection of him, so why did she feel so upset upon hearing him say she was not his mother?

Could it be that he really was her son and that was why she felt sad seeing him angry?

The worry in Yufei’s eyes was apparent. Qi Ruisen stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her, and comforted her, “Don’t be upset, Ansel is only four and a half years old. You were in a coma when he couldn’t remember anything, so it’s natural that he doesn’t recognize you. Plus, he has always been temperamental. Once you get to know each other better, he will naturally acknowledge you as his mother.”

His reassurance made Yufei feel a bit better.

However, she still wasn’t comfortable with his intimate gesture.

Yufei gently pulled away from him and looked towards Nangong Wenxiang, asking distantly, “I’m tired, may I go back to rest now?”

All these events were too sudden; she needed to go back and think them over.

Nangong Wenxiang nodded, his voice still very cold, “Go rest, but now that you are awake, you should marry Ruisen soon. Let’s set the wedding for next week. Don’t worry about the details; others will handle everything.”

“Get married next week?!” Yufei was startled again. Was this man really her grandfather?

Why did each of his statements shock and dismay her more than the last?

“I don’t want it! I don’t remember anything, I don’t want to get married next week!” Yufei shook her head in protest.

The main reason being that she felt nothing for this Qi Ruisen, not even a hint of attraction; in fact, there was repulsion–she certainly did not want to marry him.

“You already have a child together, what else is there to do if not marry? Ansel is on holiday these few days, so he doesn’t have to go to school. Use this time for your family to build relationships, and you won’t feel so estranged after the wedding,” stated Nangong Wenxiang with an authoritative and resolute tone.

Although Yufei felt he was being domineering, she still protested, “Regardless, I don’t want to get married, and even if I do, it should only be when I personally nod and agree.”

Nangong Wenxiang’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and his voice grew colder.

“Here, everything is up to me; you don’t have a choice! My word is law!”

Ha, what kind of old man is this…

Yufei was also angry, “I have the final say over my own matters; you can’t call the shots for me!”

“How dare you talk back to me?!” Nangong Wenxiang stared at her incredulously. Probably no one had ever spoken to him like that in his life.

“You are too authoritarian. In any case, I will not get married. Until I remember everything, I refuse to acknowledge him as my fiance!”

Nangong Wenxiang’s eyes abruptly narrowed–cold and daunting–
He was not enraged, but a mere look from him sent a chill through Yufei’s entire body, leaving her breathless.

She almost had an illusion.

It was as if he would immediately execute her without any hesitation.

He was like an emperor high above, holding the supreme power of life and death…

Yufei stubbornly met his gaze, trying not to show any signs of fear, though her heart was terrified.

The atmosphere in the living room turned stifling and tense.

Butler Hardy and Qi Ruisen couldn’t help but be on edge, worried about Nangong Wenxiang losing his temper.

However, all he did was speak coldly,
“Considering that you’ve just awakened, I’ll forgive your rudeness this time. There will be no leniency next time! Ruisen, take her back to rest.”

“Yes!” Qi Ruisen respectfully replied, then pulled Yufei outside to leave.
