nMadam He treated the Zi family coldly. Initially, everyone treated Zi Yi as a competitor but from the looks of it, they were overreacting.

n

n

nAfter Yang Shiya took Zi Yi to the side and started to chat with her, no one could be bothered with her.

n

n

nEveryone had an inkling of what was going on.

n

n

nShe must have pulled some ruse to get invited to Young Master He’s matchmaking banquet.

n

n

nEveryone ignored Zi Yi, but she did not care. She found herself an armchair and sat down on her own.

n

n

nLi Peirong and Zi Lian walked over.

n

n

nLi Peirong whispered to Zi Yi, “You were too reckless.”

n

n

nZi Yi asked, “Does that mean I should’ve let Madam He put me in a tight spot?”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nLi Peirong became speechless and looked at Zi Yi strangely.

n

n

nCould she tell that Madam He was putting her in a tight spot?

n

n

nLi Peirong felt worried in her heart. What was going on with the once stupid girl? Why was she becoming increasingly hard to manipulate?

n

n

nThe living room door suddenly opened. He Fei stood in the doorway in shock, dressed in a maroon-colored shirt.

n

n

nHe looked at the room full of women and immediately realized what was going on and turned around to leave.

n

n

n“Stop right there!” Madam He scolded him angrily, “As the host, how could you leave your guests without even greeting them?”

n

n

nHe Fei knew it was impossible for him to leave. He turned to look at his mother heedlessly as he leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. “Didn’t I say that Zi Yi is the only woman I want to marry? Why do you have to keep forcing me?”

n

n

n“You…” Madam He was livid.

n

n

nThe other women automatically turned to look at Zi Yi as she sat calmly in the corner when they heard what He Fei said.

n

n

nMadam He looked at her recalcitrant son and knew that she could not make him stay by force, so she asked, “I invited a lot of people tonight, including Zi Yi’s family. Are you sure about leaving?”

n

n

n“Huh?” He Fei instantly straightened his body when he heard they were here too. He took two steps into the hall and looked around.

n

n

nNot before long, he caught sight of Zi Yi sitting with her side profile facing him.

n

n

nHe Fei was delighted and headed over to take her away.

n

n

nZi Yi turned to look at him distantly as he approached her and asked, “Are you Young Master He?”

n

n

nHe Fei halted and nodded. “Uh huh.”

n

n

nZi Yi continued, “I heard you insisted on marrying me.”

n

n

nHe Fei replied, “That’s right.”

n

n

n“Heh!”

n

n

nZi Yi sneered and left everyone dumbstruck.

n

n

nHow could she act so cockily?

n

n

nZi Yi’s cold laughter sent ripples through He Fei’s heart.

n

n

nJust as he was about to sit down and chat with her, his mother warned him, “We have a lot of guests tonight. Aren’t you going to say hello to them?”

n

n

nHe Fei did not want to talk to them and wanted to refuse his mother, but she said, “Miss Zi’s parents are here too.”

n

n

nHe Fei gave it some thought. Since he wanted to marry Zi Yi, he had to talk to her parents, so he said to Zi Yi, “Shall we go over together?”

n

n

n“Nope.”

n

n

nHe Fei simply adored Zi Yi’s cold attitude. Just as he was about to speak again, Yang Shiya affectionately pulled him by the arm and said softly, “You are upsetting Aunt. Do You want her to make things difficult for Miss Zi and her family?”

n

n

nHe Fei narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Yang Shiya.

n

n

nYang Shiya let go of his arm and smiled as she promised him, “Miss Zi and I are getting along superbly. Don’t worry. I will help you take care of her.”

n

n

nHe Fei noticed how sincere Yang Shiya seemed. He contemplated before he nodded and headed over to his mother.

n

n

nAfter He Fei had gone over to join his mother, a lot of women looked at Zi Yi like she was the enemy.

n

n

nYang Shiya walked up to Zi Yi, leaned towards her and warned her in a sweet tone, “My aunt will never let you marry my cousin. You had better wake up.”

n

n

nZi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at her.

n

n

nJust as Yang Shiya was starting to feel threatened by her gaze and beautiful features, Zi Yi softly asked in contempt, “What makes you think I like him?”
