Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 544: The Marriage Will Still Happen

The meaning was clear. He no longer wanted Lan Yue. Su Mingxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Then who do you want?" he asked calmly, though there was a hint of tension in his voice.

Rong Yanchen did not answer immediately.

Instead, his smile slowly deepened. His gaze turned distant for a moment, as if recalling something.

Then he looked back at them.

"The agreement is still valid," he said slowly. "The marriage... will still happen."

Mo Qingli’s expression became extremely cold.

"If you do not want Lan Yue, then there is no one else to fulfill that agreement," he said firmly.

Rong Yanchen chuckled softly.

"Is that so?" he said.

His eyes flickered with a strange light.

"I think... there is."

The room fell into complete silence. Everyone could feel that something was not right.

The hall fell into a strange silence after Rong Yanchen’s words. Everyone’s expression turned pale, but no one showed panic on the surface.

They had already prepared for the worst. No matter what he said, they had to stay calm.

Mo Qingli’s face remained cold and steady. He did not even blink as he looked straight at Rong Yanchen.

His voice was firm and carried authority as he spoke, "We only have one daughter, Lan Yue. The princess of the Dragon Beast City is only her. There are no other daughters to replace her."

He paused for a moment before continuing, his tone becoming even more serious.

"And more importantly, we cannot force any other female into this marriage. This agreement was made between our two clans, but no female can be forced because of it. If the city lord wishes to marry someone else, then you cannot use this agreement to pressure her. You must win her willingly, just like any beastman finds his mate."

His words were clear and left no room for argument.

Rong Yanchen listened quietly and then suddenly chuckled. The sound was low and slightly mocking.

"Why is the city lord so serious?" he said lazily. "Did I say I would force anyone? I only said the marriage will still happen. The female will just be someone else."

His eyes narrowed slightly as a faint smile appeared on his lips. "As for how I win her... or how I take her... that is my own matter."

His tone was light, but the meaning behind his words made everyone’s heart sink.

Then he leaned back slightly and added with a teasing smile, "Of course, if the city lord is willing to say a few good words for me, that would be even better. After all, young females tend to listen to their elders, right?"

As he spoke, his gaze slowly shifted and landed on Su Mingxuan.

The moment his eyes met Rong Yanchen’s, Su Mingxuan’s body stiffened. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead. His heart started pounding heavily in his chest.

Did he know?

That terrifying thought flashed through his mind. They had been extremely careful these past few days. Su Qinglan had stayed hidden, and no one had mentioned her name in front of this man. There should be no way he knew.
