"Grandpa Lin," the older boy looked a bit down.
"Huo Jingyu, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Yan Kongyue, who is also my lifesaver."
"Hello!" Huo Jingyu, who had been feeling low, suddenly brightened up at the sight of Yan Kongyue, but that spark quickly faded.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?" Huo Jingyu was the nephew of Huo Jin and a cousin of Lin Lie. The Huo Family was one of the Nine Great Families and had a very good relationship with the Lin Family, being related by marriage as well.
Lin Qian and Huo Jingyu had been in the same class since kindergarten. In college, they chose the same major to avoid being separated; they grew up like two peas in a pod.
"It's not just you; your uncle told me a couple of days ago that I have an arranged marriage."
"Yes, that's right. You do have an arranged marriage with the Third Young Lady of the Shen Family, who is three years older than you. What's wrong with that?"
"Brother, how come you know about this and I don't?"
"I don't know either!" Lin Qian emphasized.
"I don't like her. How could I marry her? Besides, I already have someone I like."
"Who do you like?" Both Lin Qian and Lin Lie asked simultaneously.
"That's not the point!"
"What is the point then?"
"I want to cancel the engagement!"
"No way!" As soon as Yan Kongyue spoke, everyone turned to look at her.
"The person you like now isn't your destined partner; that girl who's three years older than you is!"
"I don't care about destined partners! I just don't want to marry someone I don't know."
"In fact, saying you like someone else is just an excuse to refuse an arranged marriage!" Yan Kongyue crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, looking quite composed.
"Sister, later on, I'll go to the antique street and find you a couple of walnuts to play with!"
"Why?" This time it was the Lin Family Patriarch who spoke.
"That would make it even more impressive!"
"Come on, let's get back to business!" Huo Jingyu sat down on a small stool by the chess table with his head hanging low, looking like a defeated puppy.
"Kid," Yan Kongyue continued, "you can get to know that girl from the Shen Family first. If you really don’t like her after getting to know her, then we can talk about breaking off the engagement. Give yourself a chance and be fair to her as well." The more she spoke, the more enthusiastic she became; she loved getting involved in matters like this.
"Yeah, my sister is right. You can't just say you don't like someone without even meeting them. That's too arbitrary. The Third Young Lady of the Shen Family has been studying abroad and has a good character. You should get to know her, even if it's just to make a friend. After all, she saved you when you were little."
"Isn't it just that she scared away some wild dogs for me?"
"Who told you that?"
"No one told me. I overheard my parents talking about it."
"You didn't even ask?"
"No, my dad thought I was eavesdropping and scolded me, so I left."
"It seems you didn't hear the whole story! The Third Young Lady of the Shen Family got bitten by a wild dog while saving you. She was seriously injured and had to stay in the hospital for a long time. I've heard she hasn't worn a skirt since then."
"Really? It was that serious?"
"Yeah, if you don't believe me, ask your Aunt."
At this moment, Huo Jingyu realized why his family had arranged this marriage for him.
Buzz! Lin Lie's phone vibrated.
"Hello, Lao Liu, what's up?"
"Bro, where's Yan Kongyue? I've been calling her and she won't answer!"
"She's playing chess with Grandpa; she probably forgot her phone somewhere!"
Hearing this, Yan Kongyue stuck out her tongue and started looking for her phone.
"By the way, my master fainted. Can you ask her if she can come to the hospital?"
