Me?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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

looked slightly more delicate compared 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 glasses, 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 welcome

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 the last time.” Lin Shuang lied

through her teeth as she tugged at the door and snuck a glance 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 glanced 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 explains why Yidu changed

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

surely have our dauglhter-in-law! 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 had completely 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 glare 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 accident, so she wanted to go and take

a look.”

That was the only reason he could give to explain 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 accident, Princess Xixi?”

Lin Shuang was disgusted by how He Yidu addressed her.

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

Madam André glanced 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 glared at He Yidu. I won’t be able

to come 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 class 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 glanced 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

classy 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 glance 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 plan.” 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 flashed 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 you laughing 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 blank. What did he say?!
