Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Aunty…” Mo Yixuan turned to look at the woman beside him and said coldly, “I’ll decide what I want for myself. Please stop trying to force me to live life as you see fit by saying that it is only for my own good. I’m sick of it.”

Mo Yixuan’s brows were tightly knitted. He had been living life in accordance with his elders for many years now and he was thoroughly sick of it. His parents had arranged his schedule and tuition since his childhood and after he grew up. He had to take on the job that they arranged for him and now. They even wanted to interfere in his marriage and relationships. He was done with this lifestyle and was tired of trying to meet their expectations.

Over the years, with the exception of when he was dating and living with He Xiyan, he had never managed to live the life that he wanted for himself.

Li Ya’s lips twitched in embarrassment and said, “Yixuan, I know. I must admit that I failed to run through this matter with you but please don’t be angry and please don’t flare up at your mother. You should know how much she loves you and she is of poor health, so try to rein your anger in and stop arguing with her, okay? I’ll try to smooth things over with the girl today. It’s already time for dinner, so why don’t you sit down and have a meal with those two ladies? I promise to leave with those ladies after dinner.”

Li Ya sounded very earnest. This was the first time she had experienced such an embarrassing and awkward situation so she could only pray that those two young ladies didn’t overhear their conversation earlier.

However, she was wrong.

Shu Man and Li Yumo were already headed toward them.

Those two young ladies didn’t seem to be in good spirits, especially Li Yumo who was teary-eyed, as though this had been an immense blow to her pride.

Shu Man was calm and expressionless but when they walked up to Mo Yixuan, her lips curled into an extremely cold smile.

“Mr. Mo…” she started coldly and her eyes were hard and cold as she continued, “My friend had asked me to apologize on her behalf since she doesn’t feel well, so we’ll have to excuse ourselves from dinner tonight.”

Shu Man enunciated each word clearly, then she spread her hands out wide and made an apologetic expression.

Mo Yixuan straightened up and looked coldly at the young lady in front of him as well. However, he suddenly frowned when he noticed her appearance.

“You…” he said in surprise and the more he looked at her face, the more confused he became. He had never met this young lady but she looked a little familiar.

“Mr. Mo, I’m Yumo’s classmate,” Shu Man said, then took a few steps backward. Her eyes were still calm and cool.

She tugged on Li Yumo’s hand and motioned for her to leave together with her.

“Yumo, let’s go,” Shu Man said softly.

Even though she was not involved in this whole situation, she still found it embarrassing.

Li Yumo sighed heavily and raised her head to look at Mo Yixuan. This was a man that she couldn’t get out of her mind after she saw his photograph.

She pursed her lips tightly but she didn’t move, as though she was still hopeful of something happening between them.

“Let’s go…” Shu Man tugged hard on Li Yumo’s sleeve. She didn’t understand why her friend was still standing there in a daze when it was clear that Mo Yixuan had no interest in looking for a partner.

Mo Yixuan coughed twice. He finally calmed down, so the anger in his eyes had dissipated to some degree and although he was so angry, he was no longer that emotional nor agitated.

He walked over and looked at Li Yumo who he had never seen and said coldly, “I’m sorry, I’m currently not searching for a partner but my aunt and mother were hoping that I’d be able to get married again and this resulted in the incident today. I’m sorry for the confusion and I hope you’ll be able to find that happiness that you deserve.”
