When Huo Sanyan met with Bai Yanchuan, his face was telling her that something was troubling him.
âWhatâs wrong? You look... well, different. Did something good happen?â Huo Sanyan joked, knowing well what was on Bai Yanchuanâs mind.
âGood, my ass! My parents are forcing me to marry some rich girl again!â
Bai Yanchuan was scornful. Since he hadnât gone back to his mansion yet, he had no idea who his soon to be fiancé was.
âIsnât that a good thing, though? Look at how old you are now! I think itâs time you have a family too.â
âEven if I should, I donât like things that are forced onto me...â
âThen... What are you planning to do?â
âI donât have the slightest clue,â Bai Yanchuan sighed. âHelp me think of something... Wait, maybe you can pretend to be my girlfriend then?â
âMe? No can do, Iâm getting married too,â Huo Sanyan said as she tried to hold back her laughter. âBut, I do know someone who can help you.â
âWhoâs that?â
âNing Luoxiao. If you bring her to your parents, Iâm sure they wonât try to force you again.â
âMiss Ning? Will she even agree?â
âIâm sure she will if I ask her. Just leave it to me.â
âOkay. Thanks a lot.â
Bai Yanchuan thought that Huo Sanyan was helping him, but little did he know that she was actually the one who planned everything.
Ning Luoxiao asked Huo Sanyan out for lunch a week later and told Huo Sanyan about her trip to Bai Yanchuanâs parentsâ home.
When Bai Yanchuan heard that his to be fiancé was Ning Luoxiao, his jaw dropped straight to the floor.
He was thrown back even more when he learned that Ning Luoxiao was actually pregnant with his child.
When Bai Yanchuan brought Ning Luoxiao to his parents on his own accord, they were delighted.
Their wedding date was almost immediately settled.
Bai Yanchuan didnât even have a chance to refuse, nor could he.
And as Huo Sanyan had expected, Ning Luoxiao and Bai Yanchuanâs wedding would happen before Ye Xun and hers.
She also got news from her brother that Ye Xun would be returning from the border soon.
She was so excited that she lost a lot of sleep.
Everything from the redecoration of Ye Manor and the church was prepared.
All that was left was the groomâs return.
Huo Sanyan waited patiently for her fiancé to come back.
Just days after that, Huo Sanyan got a call from Jing Xi saying that Ye Xun had returned.
The news woke her up immediately, and she began to prepare for his return.
She waited for half an hour before one of the servants told her someone was coming.
Thinking that it was Ye Xun, she ran down to the door and saw a car parking in front of the mansion.
âYe Gongzi!â Huo Sanyan shouted excitedly.
But when the door opened, she was disappointed to see only Jing Xi coming out.
âJing Xi! Whereâs Ye Gongzi?â
Seeing how happy Huo Sanyan was, Jing Xi could not tell her the truth.
âHeâs... heâs still outside,â Jing Xi lied.
âOutside? Where? Why isnât he back yet?â
