  Me?

  Lin Shuang had mixed blood, so her features had hints of oriental beauty; she

  looked slightly more delicate compared to the people of Country D.

  The Deiss family, on the other hand, were all pure-blooded. They all had big

  eyes, a high nose bridge, and a typical exotic face.

  The Deiss family was huge, and the veranda was crowded with people.

  While Lin Shuang was looking for a man in the crowd that matched the looks

  of her fiancé, she saw someone at the back of the crowd slowly look up; his face

  entered her line of sight.

  The man wasn’t wearing glasses, so his features were fully exposed. His pretty

  and alluring eyes were staring straight at her.

  He Yidu?! That idiot really came all the way here?! What exactly does he want

  to do?! Lin Shuang’s eyes bulged, and her facial muscles twitched as she

  instinctively stopped breathing out of shock.

  Just then, Madam André led her entire family down the stairs to welcome

  them.

  Lin Shuang’s eyelids trembled, and she instinctively took a step backward

  before she knew it. When she realized that she was overreacting, she stood still

  and craned her neck to look at He Yidu. He Yidu said before that he’ll help me

  call off the engagement ifI refuse to do it myself. Don’t tell me that he’s really

  here to do that?!

  The man’s eyes remained fixed on her as he quietly moved his lips to mouth

  the words: Keep running.

  Lin Shuang’s scalp grew numb. She somehow had the feeling that she was

  being caught cheating by her husband. She soon shook these strange thoughts

  away. Knowing what He Yidu was capable of doing, she reckoned that his

  presence here meant that he was certain that he could make her marriage

  arrangement fall through.

  D mn it! He’s a real pest! Isn’t he tired after chasing me all the way here?! Lin

  Shuang’s heart was trembling. She didn’t have the time to think about anything

  else; all she had in mind was to run. “I have an urgent matter to attend to. As

  long as Madam André’s grandson is willing to marry me, I’ll get married to

  him. Decide the matter on your own. I’m leaving”


  After saying that to her father, she turned around and strode back to the car,

  where she pulled the driver off the driver’s seat. She couldn’t be any more

  familiar with running away.

  He Yidu was caught off guard by her actions. His expression darkened slightly

  the moment Lin Shuang walked back to the car, and he immediately pushed

  the people in front of him away, wanting to run over to stop her.

  Meyett moved faster than him, though. Just as Lin Shuang was about to get

  into the car, he quickly walked over and pressed on the car door. His eyes were

  serious as he whispered, “What are you doing, Xixi? What urgent matter do you

  have that you have to leave now?

  “M-my friend is dying. I’m going to see him for the last time.” Lin Shuang lied

  through her teeth as she tugged at the door and snuck a glance at He Yidu.

  Seeing that Lin Shuang had been stopped, He Yidu exhaled in relief and slowed

  down his footsteps as he made his way toward them while gritting his teeth

  slightly. I can’t understand what she’s thinking. Why would she still think of

  running away at times like this?

  Meyett held onto the car door tightly. “You agreed to the marriage

  arrangement yourself. Since you’re already here, behave yourself and show mne

  some face.”


  Lin Shuang believed in exacting revenge, so even though Meyett really hoped

  that she could marry into the Deiss family, he was afraid that she might’ve only

  agreed to the marriage agreement just so that she could embarrass him in

  front of everyone on this day. And sure enough, she really was going to run

  away now.

  Meyett glanced at Madam André and the rest of the crowd before whispering

  softly, “Don’t you want to fetch your mother back home?”


  This was what they had agreed upon-after she got engaged to the Deiss

  family’s grandson, her father would fetch her mother out of the nursing home.

  Meanwhile, everyone else present was confused as to what was going on, and

  things stayed like this for almost a minute.

  Madam André and the rest of the people walked toward them. The former

  looked at Lin Shuang and Meyett in bafflement before looking at Miraine and

  Sasha to ask, “What’s wrong with Princess Xixi?”


  Miraine shook her head to indicate that she wasn’t quite sure herself. Lin

  Shuang was someone who did as she pleased and wouldn’t consider the big

  picture, so it came as a surprise to everyone when she agreed to the marriage

  agreement. Meyett even made preparations in advance to prevent his daughter

  from running away.

  He Zhiwen and An Rong, on the other hand, were confused when they saw Lin

  Shuang, having met her at Gu Mang’s wedding and knowing that their son was

  fond of her. As they watched Meyett tightly holding onto the car door for his

  dear life, a bold thought came to their mind. Don’t tell me that Princess Xixi. is

  Lin Shuang?!

  The husband and wife looked at one another. That explains why Yidu changed

  his mind about coming here. This is truly…… such a coincidence! Now, we’ll

  surely have our dauglhter-in-law! But. she looks like she wants to run away.

  An Rong wondered in frustration, Is my son……really that bad?

  As Lin Shuang looked at the people surrounding her car, she couldn’t help

  feeling a little despair when she realized that she had completely missed the

  best time to make her escape. D*mn it! I can’t run away now!

  “Xixi, get out of the car first,” said Meyett in a strict voice.

  Lin Shuang pursed her lips and slowly took her time getting out of the car

  before shooting a death glare in He Yidu’s direction.

  Meyett looked at Madam André. “Im sorry, Madam André. Xixi was shocked to

  find out that her friend had met with an accident, so she wanted to go and take

  a look.”


  That was the only reason he could give to explain his daughter’s odd behavior.

  Madam André was very forgiving. “It’s okay. If it’s urgent, she can go and meet

  her friend first.”


  He Yidu frowned before asking in a gentle and mild manner, “Which friend of

  yours has gotten into an accident, Princess Xixi?”


  Lin Shuang was disgusted by how He Yidu addressed her.

  “Do you need me to accompany you?” He Yidu politely probed further.

  Madam André glanced at her grandson, surprised that he was being so

  proactive.

  Meyett, who had also met He Yidu at Gu Mang’s wedding, found it strange to

  see someone from the capital here today.

  “No need, I’ve gotten someone else to handle it.” Lin Shuang maintained a

  smile on her face as she gritted her teeth and glared at He Yidu. I won’t be able

  to come back if I let him go with me.

  Madam André turned her gaze to Lin Shuang. “You may leave first if you really

  have something on.”


  Lin Shuang shook her head with such elegance and class that it was unlike her

  usual self. “It’s okay.”


  Madam André said nothing more on the matter. Instead, she smiled and said, “T

  haven’t seen you in many years, Princess Xixi. You’re getting prettier and

  prettier.”


  Lin Shuang thanked her out of politeness.

  Madam André then invited everyone inside the castle.

  Madam André and Meyett were leading the crowd and were chatting with each

  other.

  An Rong glanced at the visibly upset Lin Shuang and nudged her son with her

  elbow before whispering, “Tell me, son. Do you have some sort of unspeakable

  disease? He’s usually not in the capital, so I only get to see him a few times a

  year. I’ve never really shown concern about his health before. If it’s because of

  my negligence that he ends up suffering some sort of disease and is disliked by

  Lin Shuang for that.

  “What? He Yidu didn’t understand her question.

  An Rong appeared to be very anxious as he said, “Don’t be scared about seeing

  doctors. Go see Young Madam Lu right away if there’s anything wrong with

  your body. If you feel embarrassed about it, I can also help you find another

  doctor so that Princess Xixi won’t dislike you.”


  There were only so few illnesses that men would be afraid of going to seea

  doctor for.

  Having understood her question, He Yidu fell silent and suddenly realized that

  women were especially good at imagining things. With an expressionless face,

  he assured her, “Mom, I’m in good health, and she knows.”


  An Rong blinked her eyes. She? She knows?!

  It was easy to guess who he was talking about.

  “You guys……” An Rong’s eyes bulged. Have already……

  Inside the castle, the group walked along the resplendent corridors toward the

  banquet hall.

  While they were rounding a corner, someone suddenly pulled He Yidu’s arm

  and dragged him to a corner before he knew it. He was pressed against the wall

  by his shoulder as he looked at the woman in front of him.

  Lin Shuang was wearing a custom-made royal court gown that was simple and

  classy in style, and her long chestnut hair flowed down her shoulders in curls.

  She really looked like a princess in this getup.

  She inclined her head and tooka cautious glance at the entourage in front of

  her, who were clueless and chatting away. She then retracted her gaze and

  stared at He Yidu. “What are you doing here?”


  He Yidu lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on her face with exquisite

  makeup as he returned her question with another. “You tell me.”


  “Tve slept with you, but I won’t be taking any responsibility for you, so you can

  forget about ruining my marriage plan.” She then added in a harsher tone, “I’m

  telling you, I’m going ahead with this marriage no matter what.”


  She wasn’t certain about it at first, but upon seeing how firm He Yidu’s attitude

  was, she reckoned that he would only give up when she got married. To think

  that I naively thought that I wouldn’t face such issues as long as I blocked him

  fast enough. His tenacity knows no bounds!

  He Yidu raised his eyebrows slightly. “No matter what?”


  “Yes!” Lin Shuang whispered firmly in a bid to show her determination. “I won’t

  call off the engagement no matter what!”


  He Yidu nodded, and amusement flashed in his eyes. “What if you end up

  Wanting to call it off?”


  “Unless that bloke isn’t willing,” Lin Shuang blurted out, having been

  brainwashed by Yun Ling from her daily chat with him.

  He Yidu narrowed his eyes. “.. That bloke?

  Lin Shuang supplemented, “Madam André’s grandson, I mean.”


  “Ohhh, so you’ll definitely get married to him if he’s willing to marry you?

  Lin Shuang lifted her chin. “Of course, so don’t dream of ruining my marriage.”


  He Yidu chuckled.

  “What are you laughing for?” Lin Shuang wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion,

  only to have her wrists grabbed and tugged at the next second. Caught off

  guard, she fell against He Yidu’s chest and instinctively clutched onto his suit

  jacket.

  He Yidu tightened his grip on her wrists as he looked down and tickled her ears

  with his breath and his slightly hoarse voice. “Don’t worry, Why wouldn’t I

  marry Princess Xixi if she’s so eager to get married to me?”


  Lin Shuang’s ears grew numb and her mind became blank. What did he say?!
