"That was all my mother's idea. I didn't agree!"
"What about her feelings for you?"
Xiao Zhenting sighed. "I can't do anything to her just because she has me in her heart. Besides, Xiao Wu and I are sworn brothers. Ever since I found out that my mother tried to matchmake us, I moved out of the Xiao Manor until I married you."
Old Mrs. Xiao was really satisfied with Xiao Linlang to the bone. She wished she could let Xiao Zhenting consummate their marriage on the spot. However, Xiao Zhenting had expressed his feelings from the beginning—he already had someone he liked and would never marry anyone other than that person.
At first, Old Mrs. Xiao did not know that his sweetheart was Shangguan Yan. She felt that although Xiao Linlang was good, if her son did not agree no matter what, she did not plan to become mortal enemies with him. Later on, when she found out that the woman her son was going to marry was actually a widow with a little burden, Old Mrs. Xiao almost died of anger.
