The hidden billionaire

Pretended

Niyee's heart skipped a bit,as he glanced at her.

How could it be her?

The woman he had a one night stand with last night,the same woman who told him to get lost just hours ago.

And now,she turned out to be his financee from an arranged marriage years ago?

Could the world really be so coincidental?!

But what surprised Niyee more was that Melan had agreed to the marriage.

Why would she do that,

She clearly despised him, and should have been the first to want to call of the engagement.

Across from him,Melan looked at Niyee with a gaze full of complexity.

She herself wasn't just sure.why she had agreed to this marriage.

Maybe it was because she overhead him being humiliated by so many people outside the courtyard and felt sorry for him.outside the yard,she heard all the names and insults he and his parents had been receiving

Perhaps,

Other than pitying him,she couldn't find another explanation as to why she had agreed to the engagement.

It couldn't possibly be because she fell in love with him after a one night stand, could it be?

Impossible.Not only did she not fall for Niyee, but she also felt a bit of disdain for him.

If it weren't for seeing his family being humiliated so awkwardly,she would never have agreed.Thinking about it what would people say?

After hesitating for a moment,Melan bit her lip, approaching Niyee's parents.

The next moment she flashed a gentle smile and extended her hands to the elderly couple saying; Hello Mr and Mrs Lii, I'm Melan,Niyee's fiancèe.

Jake and Lina stared at Melan,

Momentarily unable to believe what they were hearing.They were at loss for words.of course no one wanted to be with their son

After receiving five rejection letters,Niyee had been humiliated, and their dignity had been.dragged through the mud.

But now,here was another young woman.

This girl was the most graceful amongst all the previous ones, almost like an angel descended from heaven.

To be frank,Melan was like a ray of light, illuminating the darkness that had enveloped their courtyard.

Lina looked at Melan,her lips trembling,and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.

In the next moment,she tightly grasped Melan's hand, tears welled up at the corner of her eyes,Dear...are you.. are you willing to marry my son?Do you...do you truly mind

Melan gazed at Lina's white hair, sighed softly and held Lina's hand offering a comforting smile.

"Auntie i already have an engagement with your son.Of course I'll marry him"

Lina couldn't hold back any longer,tears streamed down her face,as she cried,Dear you're such a good person...My son Niyee is truly blessed to have a wife like you!,so beautiful and elegant, kind-hearted, you were raised well my dear child.

Niyee stood nearby watching everything unfold, his gaze fixed on melan.His deep ocean -like eyes held a new strange emotion.

But just then Olivia's grating sharp voice cut through the moment.

"Are you crazy,Melan? you're going to marry this worthless trash collector?

Melan turned to look at Olivia with spiteful and mockery face.

She raised an eyebrow, calmly asking.."what's wrong with that?

Olivia rolled her eyes,full of disdain and sneered oh it's nothing, just surprising? the Gray family,one of the six greatest families of Dragon sea would let you marry a worthless junk collector.Is that the kind of talent the Gray family has now?

Melan looked at Olivia, her brows slightly furrowing.a bit of chaotic eruption on her face

Wrapping an arm around her waist.

Melan shivered as a tingling sensation washed over her

She nearly lost her balance,her face turning bright red

It was the first time a man,held her like this.She tried to instinctively pull off him.

But Niyee's grip was firm, making it impossible for her to struggle.

With so many people watching,she felt helpless and shot Niyee a furious gaze.

Listen up, from today on,Melan is my girl Watch your mouth or I'll make you regret it.You saw what happened not quite long, you wouldn't want that to repeat right?

And as for those who wants to break off the engagement with me,Niyee Lii?.You should really take a good look at yourselves and see if you're all even worthy.

I'm the one Calling off these engagements now!.Take your stupid letters and leave.They'll be delivered to your homes tonight.

Silence fell all over the room as the women stared at Niyee, their expressions shifting.

They couldn't believe they had been dismissed by someone they called nobody.Like a WHOLE TRASH COLLECTOR.

They knew they'll be laughed at if word got out.

But having witnessed Niyee's unreasonable behavior,none of them dared saying anything further.

Except for Olivia and Mavis, the rest women had uncertain expressions.

Looking at Melan, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

They really couldn't understand Melan's actions

An heir of a wealthy family, wanting to associate with a man who scavenges for trash?, one whose parents looks awful and lives in a courtyard smaller than rooms in their houses.

Wasn't that just plain foolishness?

The crowd stepped back, putting more distance between themselves and Melan.

It was clear they thought Melan was embarrassing herself, and didn't want any association with her.

Olivia shook her head,her eyes filled with sarcasm and pity saying;"oh Melan, look at the man you've chosen.He might not have any other skills, but he's certainly good at fighting and scavenging.Quite impressive.

Melans face turned chill,as she replied; Enough! It's not in your place to criticize my choices".

And besides, what's wrong with choosing a man who scavenges?if I Melan have chosen him,he can't be that bad!"

With that,Melan's lip curled into a cold smile, casually looking at their faces to get their expressions.

Maybe the real fools are you all.Think about it ,if he were truly just a worthless trash picker, would I Melan be interested in him?

"Have you ever considered that he might be faking all this!. Of course you must have seen stories or novels where a hidden heir searches for love and finds it in a strange place.

The group was surprisingly stunned hearing this.
