Meyett couldn’t figure out what made Lin Shuang suddenly change her mind. With his mind fully focused on having the wedding as soon as possible, he didn’t think about what happened between his daughter and He Yidu. Instead, he immediately cut Lin Shuang off. “Madam André, like I told you on the phone a few days ago, Xixi is willing to go ahead with the wedding. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed to come back. Now, all that’s left is Yidu’s decision.”
What the f*ck?! thought Lin Shuang.
Every member of the Deiss family was exceedingly good-looking. Thus, the person who was selected for this marriage agreement was naturally the best among the lot. Everyone thought that Lin Shuang’s presence here was akin to agreeing to the marriage agreement. Besides, with He Yidu’s good looks, there was no reason for her to refuse it.
Meyett had cut off Lin Shuang’s last escape route.
All eyes were on He Yidu as they waited for an answer for him.
After hearing what Meyett said, a wide smile bloomed on An Rong’s face, and she immediately said, “Yidu is very willing, so we can now discuss the wedding date! We pay a lot of attention to the wedding dates back home. From what I checked, the first of next month is a very auspicious date!”
Lin Shuang’s eyes bulged. The wedding date has been set???
An Rong looked at Lin Shuang, her tone gentle and cheery as she asked, “Xixi, do you prefer an oriental wedding or a western wedding?”
But before Lin Shuang could say anything, An Rong answered her own question as she looked expectantly at the former. “Or do you want to hold a western wedding here and an oriental wedding back in the capital?”
“That’s too troublesome. She’ll be tired,” He Yidu chimed in gently. “Just one wedding will do. We can hold it wherever she wants.”
Meyett was relieved to hear He Yidu say that.
Madam André smiled. “We haven’t even confirmed anything, and yet you’re already doting on your fiancée.”
Lin Shuang said, “I—”
“Once you’re married, I hope Yidu can bring Xixi back more often to stay,” Meyett interrupted once more.
It was clear that he wanted to improve his relationship with Lin Shuang, for the benefits of this marriage would be far greater than what he had expected.
There was a hint of detachment in He Yidu’s gentle voice when he said, “Will do. Don’t worry, Uncle.”
“The wedding has to be grand. This is the eldest princess’s wedding after all.”
“We haven’t had a wedding in a long time.”
“Leave the western bridal gowns and suits to us. As for the oriental ones, is there enough time for us to custom-made them at Lan Ting?”
“Princess Xixi was Young Madam Lu’s bridesmaid, and Lan Ting belongs to Young Madam Lu. We should be able to pull some strings, right?”
Almost everyone was excitedly talking away. There were several times when Lin Shuang opened her mouth to say something, but she just couldn’t find a chance to say it.
He Yidu was smiling and talking to the elders about the wedding when he noticed that Lin Shuang was maintaining the smile on her face while gritting her teeth. His eyes curved in amusement even more.
Lin Shuang clenched her fists once more.
Meanwhile, Miraine and Sasha were smiling rather stiffly as they watched Lin Shuang shooting daggers at He Yidu. They had originally thought that the confirmation of the marriage agreement would take a while, or even better, an indefinite period with no signs of success. But contrary to their expectations, An Rong was already discussing the wedding plans.
Sasha stared fixedly at He Yidu. The Deiss family… The He family… Regardless of Lin Shuang’s backing, there’ll no longer be a foothold for Mom and me in this family once her mother returns from the nursing home.
Miraine, who naturally shared the same concerns as her daughter, squeezed her fingers.
Just then, He Yidu’s phone vibrated.
[Lin Shuang: Where’s your room?]
