Mai's mother thought it over and nodded, "You're right. We absolutely can't let their schemes succeed. No matter how difficult, you have to get married, and you have to live well in the Qiao Family, letting their 'dog eyes' see!"
"That's right!"
Mai Xiaomai reached out and hugged her mother's shoulders, but then she saw her father's eyes filled with worry and pity.
Her eyes became sore, yet she did not let the tears fall. She continued to wear a forced smile, mingling among the guests...

The wedding ended.
Mai Xiaomai and Qiao Chutian were sent to the Qiao Family's seaside villa for their wedding night.
Mai Xiaomai followed the silent Qiao Chutian into the beautiful villa, but neither of them was in the mood to enjoy it.
"If you want to go find Lin Na, just go. I don't mind," Mai Xiaomai said to Qiao Chutian, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.
Qiao Chutian looked up at her, stood up, and walked out.
