    Me?


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


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


    looked slightly more delicatepared 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 sses, 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 wee


    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 thest time.” Lin Shuang lied


    through her teeth as she tugged at the door and snuck a nce 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 nced 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 exins why Yidu changed


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


    surely have our dauglhter-inw! 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 hadpletely 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 re 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 ident, so she wanted to go and take


    a look.”


    That was the only reason he could give to exin 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 ident, Princess Xixi?”


    Lin Shuang was disgusted by how He Yidu addressed her.


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


    Madam André nced 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 red at He Yidu. I won’t be able


    toe 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 ss 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 nced 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


    ssy 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 nce 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 n.” 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 shed 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 youughing 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 nk. What did he say?!
