‘By then, Yun Nan and Shi Nian would have children old enough to run and walk. By then, when Yun Nan has become famous and successful, and Shi Xiu a bright star, when the entertainment industry with its never-ending stream of newcomers has forgotten my existence, when I’m of no value to Mr. Lan… what else would I have?’ Yun Liu thought.

‘I fear that by that time, the best future for me would be to become the Yun family’s young mistress!’

However, from what Yun Zhang had implied with his words, he wouldn’t let her off even then. ‘Ha! How vicious,’ Yun Liu inwardly remarked. ‘He plans to play a game of attrition; keep me under his thumb and wear me down to death!’

‘I won’t just sit back and let that happen!’

The news that the Ye family was going to hold a grand wedding was a boost to the downturned Rong City’s business world. Especially when the invited guests also received a wedding invitation from the Shi family at the same time. A closer look at the invitations revealed that the two families’s wedding ceremonies were going to be held together at the same time and place, and it didn’t take much thinking for them to realize these two great families were going to hold a double wedding.

On further thought, it wasn’t all that surprising, as Shi Nian and Ye Kun were close buddies who grew up together, and the two brides were also best friends.

This great news added an air of jubilation to Rong City. Everyone was looking forward to this unprecedented event.

Shi Nian and Yun Nan were called back to the Shi family residence three days in advance, and only then did Xu Yun tell the two about this ‘surprise’ gift. In respect for Xu Yun, the couple made a performance of being ‘shocked,’ giving her a sense of accomplishment at having pulled the whole thing off in secret.

“The only regret is that Shi Ke and Xiang Yang can’t make it to the wedding,” Shi Xiu sighed behind her mother’s back.

Yun Nan patted her shoulder in consolation: “It’s alright. When you get married in the future, we’ll all definitely be there in attendance. No one will be left out!”

Shi Xiu gently brushed off her hand and pouted. “No way! I’m not going to get married! Who needs it anyways! I think it’ll be more practical to hold a birthday banquet for Grandpa than to wait for my wedding day if you want a family reunion!”

Yun Nan lightly tugged Shi Xiu’s hair as she chuckled, “Not getting married? Dream on! All of us are already married; how can we let you live your life alone and free of the trap that is marriage? Don’t even think about it! We’ll find you your Mr. Right, even if we have to search and comb through the entire world!”

Shi Xiu and Yun Nan continued to roughhouse and play around. When they were done laughing, Shi Xiu sighed softly. Yun Nan noticed Shi Xiu’s melancholic mood and shared a look with Shi Nian.

Shi Xiu then raised her head and crossed her arms in an x before her to block the couple off. “Okay, stop. You guys aren’t allowed to talk to me! Don’t say anything! Go away, shoo!”

Shi Xiu chased the two of them away and stayed in the garden in a daze. Yun Nan was a little worried and asked Shi Nian, “She couldn’t have really fallen for that Lan Long, right?”

Shi Nian turned around and glanced at his sister’s figure. He held Yun Nan’s hand and, as they returned to the main family house, he said lightly, “She’s a young girl full of emotions and feelings. It’s not abnormal for her to like him. She knows what she’s doing and where to draw the line.”

“But, if—how sad would Shi Xiu be then?” Yun Nan fretted.Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m

“Yun Nan!” Shi Nian pulled her close and uttered gravely, “No one can make decisions for others. Even if she’s my sister, I can’t do or plan everything out for her. It’s not a good or healthy thing to let her be overly sheltered. She has to go through the storms and tribulations herself. No one can do that in her stead!”

“You can’t help her clear all her obstacles just because you’re afraid that she’ll get hurt or suffer. That’s not love, and it’s highly likely to harm her instead. Let her work through this on her own like she wanted.”

Yun Nan fell silent. She admitted that what Shi Nian said was reasonable, but emotionally, she still found it difficult to accept. She did not want Shi Xiu to be hurt.

Shi Nian patted her on the head. “Don’t worry. Shi Xiu knows what to do. She’s not as fragile as you think. She’s just waiting for an outcome in her own way. This is also to prevent herself from harboring resentment towards anyone.”

This double wedding was the grandest wedding in the history of Rong City. The wedding that the three Madams of the Shi, Ye, and Liang families had put their all into creating was flawlessly perfect down to the last minute detail. The joint venture hotel under their banner set up hundreds of tables and hosted a three-day banquet. It was an unprecedented and grand occasion.

Liang Han and Lu Hui were the designated chief bridesmaid and groomsman. The two made a stunning pair, and the guests were amazed the moment they appeared. Lu Ying was so happy at the sight of them together that she was grinning from ear to ear. The more she looked at Lu Hui, the more she liked the girl. ‘I guess this can be considered a pre-rehearsal for my silly son’s wedding in the future,’ she thought.

Liang Han and Lu Hui were also responsible for the wedding’s atmosphere. The two entertained the guests with witty words and quips and cooperated with the emcee to raise the atmosphere of the entire venue.

Liang Han really had a whole new perspective and level of respect for this girl who seemed to have become another person without her glasses. Lu Hui was probably the only one who didn’t notice the cynical Young Master Liang’s gaze was always on her, intentionally or unintentionally. Instead, she noticed Madam Liang’s sticky gaze and sighed at how well the woman treated her.

As her two bosses—Yun Nan and Fang Xi—were too busy to have time to offer her guidance and enlighten her of Liang Han’s interest in her, the young Miss Lu simply happily busied herself as she flitted here and there around Liang Han.
