Chapter 2

Xu Yao had held these words back for a long time, and finally spoke them out.

Mr. Lin, however, embraced her tearful face tightly, refusing to let go.

"No, Yaoyao, how can we break off our engagement? We are meant to be together for life; how can I live without you? Yaoyao, I was wrong, we can't sever our engagement..."

Xu Yao was held so tightly that it hurt, and her mind suddenly snapped back.

The reason she wanted to escape her current identity was all because Mr. Lin refused to let her go!

A year ago, just because she talked to two strangers a bit longer outside, Mr. Lin caused a scandal that shook the entire city.

For months afterward, whenever she went out, he would have people follow her closely.

"I'm tired, I want to go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin immediately supported Xu Yao's arm.

"I'll take you back, Yaoyao, I'll wait for you outside the courtyard."

Xu Yao wanted to refuse, but forcefully choked back her words.
