“I don’t mean that. I mean, can the two of us… Be together for the rest of our lives?” Nalan Jing’s fair face instantly flushed red.
Tang Yin got angry. “Nalan Jing, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! Has Xiao Qing done anything wrong to you? Why do you want to cut her out? I had really misjudged you.”
Nalan Jing froze.
He looked at Tang Yin’s angry face and panicked, hurriedly pulling her hand. “That’s not what I meant! I meant…”
Tang Yin huffed. “No need to explain! If you don’t want Xiao Qing anymore, then I don’t want you either.”
She shook off Nalan Jing’s hand angrily and turned to leave.
Nalan Jing became more flustered, and once again raised his hand to tug on Tang Yin’s hand, pulling her into his embrace.
Tang Yin froze and was unable to move.
The man was so close that she could feel his breath.
In this life, she had never been this close with any man…
But somehow…
Her face flushed, and her breathing grew ragged. She hurriedly raised her hand and pushed him away.
She glared at Nalan Jing angrily, as if that would cover up the panic in her eyes.
After that, Tang Yin left without looking back at him and disappeared.
Nalan Jing was dumbfounded as he looked at Tang Yin’s departing figure. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
‘It seems that I’ve made Xiao Yin angry. I’m afraid that… I will never have the opportunity to do so again in the future.’

Tang Yin walked faster, her hand caressing her hot cheek.
“Young Lady!”
Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from ahead.
Tang Yin raised her eyes and saw Qian Ning, standing at the door of the room waiting for her.
Qian Ning held the red wedding dress in her hand, looking at Tang Yin smilingly.
“Qian Ning, what are you doing here?” Tang Yin asked, looking puzzled. Her eyes fell upon the wedding dress in Qian Ning’s hand. “I’ve already tried on this dress for Helian Yue. Why are you still bringing it over?”
Qian Ning’s eyes filled with guilt. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
‘Young Lady, I’m sorry…
‘There is nothing I can do.
‘If I don’t do what Princess said, she will drive Young Lady out of General Manor, and by then, Young Lady will be more upset.’
Qian Ning stepped forward and held Tang Yin’s hand. “Young Lady, I’ll help you change your clothes.”
“Is there something wrong with this wedding dress?” Tang Yin did not think much about it. She smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll try it again. After all, Helian Yue is also a member of General Manor. Helping her is the same as helping Xiao Qing.”
Qian Ning sighed.
‘Young Lady is so naive. But at least, I don’t have to force her to put on this wedding dress…’
“Young Lady, let’s go.”
Qian Ning looked back at the decorated General Manor. She turned around, held Tang Yin’s hand, and walked toward the room…
