“You! Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you!” Mo Jin was so pissed by Shi Guang that she could barely say anything. She used her finger to poke and poke repeatedly at the latter’s head. “You’re going to piss me off to death, my silly little sister! When can you start growing some sense of wariness toward others! Wasn’t he good enough to you in the past as well? Perhaps… to him, you’re nothing more than a moment of interest!”
Shi Guang bit on her lower lip. “Even if that really is the case, I can’t say anything. After all, I’m getting married to him because of grandma. I really can’t back out of this. Besides, what age are we living in now? Divorcing after marrying is something that couldn’t be any more common.”
There was actually still a single sentence that was in Shi Guang’s mind that she did not dare to say to Mo Jin.
Lu Yanchen… perhaps he may have still been in love with me all this while…
At times, Shi Guang would get that feeling. Otherwise, why would he still be getting involved in her affairs every now and then. But, it was nothing more than a mere guess.
After all, if he had really loved her, why did he have to break up with her back then?
And even after they got married, even if he were to treat her nicely, she would not hand her heart over to him.
Who knows if he might just get tired of everything and divorce her, leaving her again like back then…
Looking at how Shi Guang was always taking one step at a time for things, Mo Jin really could not find it in her to get angry at her.
Meanwhile, a voice drifted over from the distance, “Jin’er 1 !”
Little auntie marched over with haste as she hugged her daughter. It was almost two years since she had last seen her daughter, and she naturally missed her dearly.
Looking at how her mother’s eyes were reddening with tears, Mo Jin really could not hold it in and started crying out as well when she hugged her grandma.
Grandma patted her gently on the back and brought her home, asking her about her life and happenings along the way, including whether she had gotten herself a boyfriend abroad or not.
Mo Jin choked out, “No, I’m still young! It’s still early, and I don’t wish to have a boyfriend yet.”
Little auntie chimed in right away, “Not THAT young! Look at how your sister’s going to get married already! You’ve got to start working hard as well!”
Mo Jin’s face darkened. “Now that we’re talking about this… You guys! She hasn’t even graduated from university, and yet you guys are letting her get married and whatnot! Aren’t you afraid that she might be cheated by a man?”
Grandma patted her hands right away. “Don’t worry, don’t worry! Little Chen is kind and humble, down to earth and polite, with a good character. Besides, he treats our Shi Guang well!”
Little auntie praised him as well. “Isn’t that right! Little Chen has it all—character and looks. Whoever meets with someone like that should just latch onto him tightly right away. If our Shi Guang were to let him slip, who knows when he might be snatched up by others immediately!”
Mo Jin replied coldly, “Any man that can be snatched away isn’t a good man.”
Her mother eyed her icily. “That’s not the way to put things. If an opportunity is good, one must cherish it.”
“That’s right, Little Chen is a good kid!” Mo Jin’s father laughed out heartily, expressing his stamp of approval towards Lu Yanchen all over his face.
Mo Jin was at a total loss for words. In and out, all they had to talk about were good things about Lu Yanchen. Was it really that cold and aloof Lu Yanchen that she used to know? In her memories, it was always this silly little sister of hers that was always plastering her smiles over his frosty demeanor.
Her lips cramped a little as she uttered out, “Seems like he has already bribed everyone in our family.”
Hearing the words of her cousin, Shi Guang shrugged her shoulders. “…”
Well, it couldn’t really be considered as a bribe—he was truly sincere toward grandma. At the same time, grandma and little auntie were really fond of him as well.
Therefore, Shi Guang had already decided—since it was already a foregone conclusion, she should just accept it.
Let nature take its course.
As long as she didn’t hand her heart over, she wouldn’t get hurt…
…
Lying on her bed and preparing to sleep, Shi Guang received a text—it was from Lu Yanchen.
<The day after tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.>
The day after tomorrow, that was the day of her finals for the provincial team selection. He wanted her to head over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs right after the finals?
He wasn’t going to go watch her at the finals?
