92: Chapter 92: Unable to Fulfill the Agreement 92: Chapter 92: Unable to Fulfill the Agreement Mu Yunlie’s hand, holding the knife and fork, paused for a moment.

He had already guessed what his grandfather wanted to say.

He looked toward Ning Nuan and got straight to the point, “Nuannuan, I have always treated you as a sister, so the arranged marriage that your grandfather and my grandfather set up is null and void.

Please forgive me; I cannot fulfill their agreement.”

His tone was neither heavy nor light, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, but his attitude was extremely aloof.

Ning Nuan’s expression suddenly became a bit stiff.

She awkwardly moved her lips, unable to say anything, but there seemed to be a hint of tears welling up in her eyes.

Nangong Jie said sternly, “Ah Lie, that’s not what we are here to talk about today.”

Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes, looking perplexedly at Nangong Jie.

Hadn’t his grandfather deceived him into coming back just to discuss his marriage with Ning Nuan?

Ning Nuan was already twenty-four years old, and in the past two years, his grandfather had always been urging them to get married.

Nangong Jie glared at Mu Yunlie.

He then glanced at Ning Nuan, who could hardly hide her sad feelings.

Ah, his grandson resembled him in many ways, except for this straightforward personality.

Even if he wanted to refuse, he shouldn’t have done it in front of the girl.

Look, Nuannuan is almost crying!

Nangong Jie stated righteously, “Do you think I am such a tyrant?

Although I arranged a marriage for you, I won’t force you to wed.

Ultimately, whether you end up together is up to you.”

“So what did Grandfather want to talk about by calling me back tonight?” Mu Yunlie asked.

“Nuannuan will graduate from the Federation Military Academy in a year.

I came today to talk to you about making arrangements in advance, so when she graduates, you can place her under your command.”

Nangong Jie and Ning Nuan’s grandfather had already discussed it; they couldn’t pressure Mu Yunlie into marriage.

They needed to use an indirect strategy.

Thus, the two old friends came up with this method to achieve their goal indirectly.

Letting Ning Nuan work under Mu Yunlie would mean frequent contact between them, which could foster feelings.

“When Nuannuan graduates, if her grades are excellent, she will be assigned to work in the medical department of the Military Department.

Following my military doctor, the medical department has its arrangements, and this is not within my jurisdiction.”

A cold sneer flashed across Mu Yunlie’s lips.

What was his grandfather thinking?

He was well aware.

“Don’t give me that official talk!” Nangong Jie said sternly, “I have been a commander too.

It’s just a word from you.”

“Brother Ah Lie.” Ning Nuan’s smile returned to her face, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble.”

Mu Yunlie pondered for a moment, “We will see when the time comes.

As long as your medical skills are solid, you can apply for a transfer within the medical department.”

Ning Nuan nodded firmly, “OK!

I will do my best!”

Nangong Jie also nodded slightly in satisfaction.

As long as there was no outright rejection, there was still hope.

At that moment, a voice came from the entrance of the dining room, “Is there any food left?”

The three of them looked toward the door.

The two, who usually remained unflappable even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of them, now showed surprised expressions.

Standing at the door was the beautiful elderly lady, Grandma Nangong, who Yan Qianyi had met at the hospital.

“Xiaoxue, you’re back!” Nangong Jie hurried forward to greet her.

But Nangong Xiaoxue didn’t even glance at him, she walked over and sat down at the dining table, and proudly said, “Quickly, have the kitchen make me something to eat; I’m so tired, starving to death.”

She had been looking for Ah Lie all day!

First, she went to the Military Department, then to his residence, only to find out that he had returned to the Nangong family.

She hadn’t called because she was afraid that if Ah Lie knew of her whereabouts, he would inform that old man.

Little did she expect, she’d still have to return to this “cage.”
