However, not many people could do that.
Hearing Ye Sijue say that, Mu Xiaoxiao sympathized with him. She sighed and said, âThatâs just how Annie is⦠If she insists on giving up love for the family, then itâll be really difficult to convince her otherwise.â
Unlike her willful self, Annie was the kind of person who cares about the big picture.
Mu Xiaoxiao still remembered hearing a couple of times when Annie said that she envied her.
She didnât understand at first why Annie would envy her when she had such a good family and a good brother like William.
Later, she began to understand.
Annie was more envious of her personality, of how she could be so happy doing whatever she wanted to despite her telling Annie that she could do the same too.
But with Annie thought about the people she cared about out of habit and thus she couldnât be like Xiaoxiao.
Then, Yin Shaojie said, âI think it can be done.â
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a curious look, âI thought that you wanted to stop us. Just now didnât you-â
He tugged at her a couple of times.
Yin Shaojie reached out to pinch her chin, annoyed as he said, âI tugged at you so that you would be quiet. Donât forget that we are still in other peopleâs turf, okay? How can you snatch someoneâs bride when youâre being so loud and obvious about it? Mu Xiaoxiao, do you have a brain?â
With that said, he poked her little head with his finger.
âYouâre the one without a brain! I thought⦠On the way here, you kept telling me that I should keep in mind what William said, so of course I would think thatâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking. Considering Yin Shaojieâs personality, he was unlikely to budge on his stance.
Yin Shaojie said, âOf course we have to take into consideration what William said. This way, we can then find the right way to solve the problem!â
âThen what should we do now?â Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking quite disappointed as she said, âInitially, I was thinking that we could secretly take Annie back to China and hide her. Or we can go to some other country. As long as we stop them from reaching or finding Annie, we can find ways to slowly persuade Annie⦠In any case, we just canât let her engagement go on!â
âThatâs a bad plan,â Yin Shaojie said but he didnât oppose her intentions.
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased that he thought her plan wasnât good enough, âTell me then. What is a good plan?â
Yin Shaojie shrugged. âI havenât thought of it yet.â
âAnnie will be getting engaged very soon! If we cannot find a way, and Annieâs fiancé catches onto our plan, what will we do?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
âShh!â Yin Shaojie covered her mouth with his hand. âQuiet down. Do you want everyone to hear you?â
There were lots of helpers in the castle walking around in the corridors. Who knew what would happen if someone overheard their conversation.
Realizing that, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth.
She lowered her voice and said, âSo letâs find a solution now!â
Finally, Ye Sijue, who had been listening in to the conversation, said, âShouldnât you consult my opinion first?â
