31 You don't get to decide who I want to marry.

"What is going on here?! this bastard is really out of his mind! don't you know she's the beloved daughter of the Ricci family and your fiancee!" Helena Keir yelled furiously seeing Calin crouching on the ground.

"Young Master, I apologise for my incompetence-"

"Shut up!" Helena Keir angrily cut off Butler Hong and pointed at him and the two men in black suits. "All of you lowlives! get out! this is a family matter! get out now!"

Butler Hong scoffed, even the two men were completely unfazed, they wouldn't be working there if they were indecisive as to where their loyalty lies.

Helena Keir was full of contempt, how dare these bottom feeders ignore her!

"Fiancee?" Shin disdainfully looked at Calin, sizing her up.

Calin quickly recovered and sat on the sofa, easing her trembling body, she looked so delicate and pitiful that any ordinary man would have felt the urge to protect her.

"You don't get to decide who I want to marry. I have my own standards and an ugly, flat-chested vile creature is out of the question." Shin told Helena Keir, his voice impassive.

To him, Helena Keir is simply a waste of time and energy.

"Oh my~" Eleanor Keir happily grinned, cupping her cheek with her hand, gloating over Calin's misery.

While the rest were frozen shocked hearing Shin Keir's derision.

It wasn't just about his hurled insults but when did the tyrant emperor cared and paid attention to a woman's appearance?

Butler Hong silently nodded, Miss Zhi, is indeed a celestial beauty compared to this Calin Ricci.

"You- you! have you been pretending to hate women all this time?! no wonder you get along with that unfilial playboy! how dare you fooled the family!" Helena Keir said in disbelief.

Calin Ricci felt her heart tearing apart, her lips quivered as she fiercely bit on it.

Vile creature?

For years, all she did was upgrade herself! she had kept her distance and never done anything that will invite his hatred!

How can he say something cruel? she has never been insulted and humiliated like this!

Ugly and flat-chested?

The Shin Keir she knew was never interested in a woman's appearance!

She had seen all types of women trying to get close to him, there were even foreign women with big busts!

'Is he doing this on purpose? right, he's probably just keeping his guard up!' Calin calmed herself, she shouldn't be agitated.

Shin Keir is not only stubborn but also unreasonable and bad-tempered.

If she wants to subdue him, she should rein in her emotions and play her cards well.

"The guests will be leaving now, escort the 3 of them out." Allister Keir told Butler Hong, his son is finally paying attention to a woman's appearance.

How far did he go with his girlfriend?! he can't let his son suffer the same way as he did, it's time to settle this with his father, the old patriarch.

"Husband..." Eleanor Keir was about to cry.

"Uncle Allister, just a second please..." Calin stood up and turned to Shin with a crestfallen face.

"Young Master Keir, I'm honestly a fan of your software products, as someone with the same passion, I got overly excited hoping to learn more from you but it seems I was presumptuous, once again, I apologise if I unknowingly offended you."

Helena Keir wanted to rebut and persecute Shin Keir but was taken aback meeting his dark, malevolent gaze.

"If you are all done polluting the air then leave." Shin deadpanned and eyed Helena Keir. "In the account that I respect Grandma, I'll let your minion leave unscathed, however, there won't be next time."

"What did you just say?!" Helena Keir couldn't be more angrier, who is polluting the air? what respect?!

The two men in black suits quickly moved to escort them out despite the old woman's hysterical outrage.

"I'll make sure my husband will know of this! and you, Allister, how dare you to treat your mother like this!" Helena Keir shouted and glared at the father and son.

Calin clenched her fists but reminded herself to be patient, 'Shin Keir you will be mine!'

After the 3 women left with bitter expressions, Shin demanded to have the villa thoroughly cleaned and have all the furniture replaced in the living room and his study.

------

Later that day.

"Princess, can you go and give this cake to Doctor Neri? Mommy will go and take care of your hospital discharge forms." Zenia Zhi hand her a box of cake.

"eh? what for?" Yeri pouted.

"Don't be like that, it's a matter of courtesy. Normally, it would take a week or two before you get better but with Doctor Neri, you're well in just 2 days."

'It has nothing to do with him, I got better on my own.' Yeri wanted to refute but it's a hassle to come up with a good explanation so she will just let Doctor Neri take the credit.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes first."

When Yeri was admitted, Shin made sure it's on the same floor as Zahn Neri's office, thanks to that she doesn't have to wander around.

Yeri looked refreshing and ethereal, a head-turner as she earned admiration just by walking along the hallway, she donned a strapless floral print knee-length dress paired with light pink flat sandals and a high ponytail hairstyle.

'Perfect timing!' Yeri thought as she turned in a corner and saw Doctor Neri get out of his office.

However, her steps halted noticing he wasn't alone, a short-haired, petite woman followed him out.

She hardly praises another woman's beauty but this petite woman is like a fairy, except she's very skinny and somehow looked depressed.

From the looks of it, the pair seemed to be arguing, is she possibly Mrs Neri?

Yeri slowly back away not wanting to disturb the two. Nowadays, it's easy to be misunderstood as a third party and even though she finds this famous doctor also handsome, she absolutely has no interest in a married man.

"Yeri Zhi?"

Yeri flinched, thinking she got caught but instead her eyes met a pretty male god.

"Yeri Zhi, right? it's been a while, you look very different now."

"..." Yeri frowned, why is this pretty male god very familiar.

"Ah! are you Teacher Song?!"

Xian Song grinned, "That hurts, it seems like our school's troublemaker already forgot me when only three years has passed."

"That's because you're not wearing your glasses! are you perhaps using contact lenses? also, I thought you left the country for good, are you here for vacation?" Yeri excitedly asked.

This man was a trainee teacher back in her middle school days, he's extremely strict but also sensible and kind.

"My grandfather is sick so I returned...I see that you got taller and also gained weight, it's good that you looked healthier now." Xian sounded forlorn yet his eyes were gleaming.

Back then, he was ashamed to admit that he fell in love with a minor and on top of that his student.

She was the reason why he left teaching but unexpectedly met her again, is fate playing a trick on him?
