Chapter 14: Girlfriend Becomes Fiancée

Hearing the woman's displeased tone and seeing her look, Li Miaomiao knew this person didn't like her.

Her eyes rolled as she sized up the woman in front of her. Judging from her clothes, she was either wealthy or of high status. Moreover, she spoke to the "perverted man" beside her in such a haughty manner. Could she be his mother?!

Just as Li Miaomiao was secretly speculating, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. "Madam Rong, I forgot to introduce. This is my fiancée, Li Miaomiao."

"Madam Rong, I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my fiancée, Li Miaomiao."

What?!

Fiancée?!

Weren't they supposed to be just pretending to be girlfriend and boyfriend? When did it get upgraded to fiancée?!

Li Miaomiao turned her head and glared at Lin Yu unhappily. He didn't give her any response, just quietly hugged her a little tighter.

Li Miaomiao, who had never been this close to a man before, was very uncomfortable and kept squirming slightly. And the woman called Madam Rong kept sizing her up.

"Ayu, you've really gone too far this time!"

Madam Rong was extremely angry. She sized up Li Miaomiao for quite a while, yet couldn't find anything about her that could compare with her own daughter. Her clothes weren't brand - name, and her looks were just so - so, at best, one could describe her as having a delicate appearance. How could a woman like her catch Lin Yu's attention and even outshine her daughter?!

Despite being filled with countless grudges in her heart, Lin Yu actually told her that this was his fiancée!

What about Xinci then?!

Lin Yu looked straight ahead, his attitude remaining exactly the same as before. "Madam Rong, I'm very sorry."

Although he was uttering words of apology, there was no trace of remorse on his face. Instead, he gave the impression that he believed he hadn't done anything wrong.

Madam Rong's face turned livid with anger. "Ayu, even though your parents are no longer with us, what was decided back then stands! You can't break your parents' hearts by bringing in such an obscure woman!"

Obscure?

Li Miaomiao frowned, deeply disliking that term.

"Madam Rong, this is my personal affair. I've made it abundantly clear that the so - called engagement was arranged without my knowledge. It's not my wish at all! Besides, in this day and age, marriage and love are a matter of personal freedom. I'm deeply in love with my fiancée, and I don't want anyone to disrupt our relationship. I hope you can understand, Madam Rong."

The way a junior addresses an elder usually isn't like this from Lin Yu. However, in Lin Yu's world, this is already considered a rather amicable attitude on his part.

Madam Rong's chest heaved up and down, clearly seething with anger.

After all, as an elder, being "rejected" and "embarrassed" like this in public was simply too much for her to endure.

But...

She definitely wasn't going to let this go.

When she left, Rong Tian had pleaded with her time and again to ensure that Lin Yu agreed to the marriage.

Madam Rong had always doted on her daughter and naturally wouldn't turn her down.

She would do whatever it took to make this marriage happen, regardless of whether there was a woman Lin Yu liked by his side.

"Ayu, you'll regret passing up Rong Tian sooner or later! There's no other woman in the world more suitable for you than her!"

After saying this, Madam Rong gave Li Miaomiao a meaningful glance, then picked up her handbag and stormed out.
