"You really can’t afford to offend women!" Lin Shang exclaimed. "Sis, he didn’t intentionally avoid coming last night. Why don’t you forgive him?"
"I’m not angry at him!" She smiled while sipping milk. "On the contrary, I totally understand him. We are just ordinary folks living mundane lives, but he has his responsibilities and beliefs!"
"Sis, what you said is really insightful!!" Lin Shang continued to express his admiration. With such understanding, there’s no reason to be upset!
"I simply feel that I’m not really suited to be the sis-in-law!"
Lin Shang remained silent. This issue seemed more like a matter for their couple to communicate and resolve.
"The parents of those students are reputable businessmen, though they aren’t quite influential in Jing City and definitely can’t compare with the Tang Family and Ye Family. They’ve already been expelled and should be taught a lesson before being kicked out!"
Training under Ye Gushen was grueling—even if they didn’t die, they’d be skinned alive!
"If it were in-game, I would’ve destroyed them!" She definitely would have annihilated them in a game!
Lin Shang looked at her pretty face; such pure appearance seemed absolutely genuine, but who would’ve thought someone with such a fiery spirit inside!
After breakfast, Tang Suiyu went for her usual drum training, didn’t return at noon but instead took a break with Li Buyan!
In the afternoon, she stood in the middle of the front row during the official rehearsal, holding the Mo Yan Country’s flag.
From the high chairman’s stage, she saw Ye Gushen in simple camouflage attire. His solemnly handsome face and keen black eyes gazed intently at them.
She used to think drumming was easy, but didn’t realize how much proper stance mattered.
Three rehearsal rounds barely sufficed, another two rounds that evening before they rested.
That night, she didn’t return home either; she and Li Buyan squeezed onto a small bed, whispering secrets as close friends do.
"Tomorrow we’ll be free, Sui Sui! Let’s go shopping first, then have some ice cream, and finally head to my place. We can invite Liangliang over and play games together—a carefree day!"
"Nope, I need to take Ye Gushen home to meet my grandpa."
"Whoa, progressing fast, huh? Meeting the family already!" Li Buyan nudged her with an elbow. "Spill the beans, you two?"
"Dream on! We’re going to break off the engagement!"
"Come on, really? You must be crazy! That’s Ye Gushen—Ye Gushen! You actually don’t want him?" Li Buyan was speechless towards her best friend!
A part of her wanted to say, if you don’t want him, I do!
Even if Little Suisi didn’t want him, it wasn’t as if the Tang Family’s parents would compromise so easily!
The next day, everyone got up early!
The weather was perfect, sunny with clear blue skies. On the chairman’s stage were several men in suits, aged between their forties and fifties, looking stern.
Among them was Ye Gushen in formal attire, his cold and sharply handsome face expressionlessly scanning the stage.
The ceremony officially began, accompanied by exhilarating music and the inspiring, deafening sound of drums.
Tang Suiyu, usually with a light smile, wore a rare serious expression.
All squads marched once around, followed by speeches from the leaders, awarding, and the national anthem.
She returned to her room, changed, and packed her clothes, but Ye Gushen hadn’t come back yet.
Standing in the corridor, she looked afar and saw several suited men surrounding Ye Gushen.
