Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
How could Mu Xiaoxiao not see that she didn’t want to be alone with Ye Sijue?
When she first entered, she had felt that the atmosphere was a little odd. She wondered what they could have been talking about.
She had no choice but to let Ye Sijue down.
“Okay, then. Your dress is very beautiful and it fits well. It looks really good on you. That guy… Chris has good taste.” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her up and down and gave her sincere opinion.

Ye Sijue moved forward, almost touching Annie’s ear as he said, “You look really beautiful.”
With that said, he stepped out.
Annie was startled. Her ears still felt quite fuzzy, warmed by his breath.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Annie then at Ye Sijue, and she said, embarrassed, “Should I not have come?”
She was worried that Annie might start imagining things if she were alone in her room, so she thought she should come and accompany her.
However, she had never expected to see Ye Sijue as well.
Annie’s eyes were a little gloomy, but she forced a smile, shaking her head as she said, “No, I’ve been waiting for you. Have you eaten your meal?”
“Yeah. You haven’t eaten, right? Why didn’t you eat with us?”
Seeing that Ye Sijue had left, she didn’t want to talk about him so she changed the subject.
“I’m not hungry,” Annie said.
“You have to eat even if you’re not hungry. It’d be merrier if we dine together.” Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, taking the chance to lecture her. But she knew that Annie was in a bad mood and had no appetite.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked to the dressing table and saw a crown in a box. It was dazzling, a crown fit for a princess.
“This is so beautiful!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes glimmered. She went to touch it, almost wanting to try it on.
The crown had a stylish, classic design.

Annie explained, “It’s an heirloom. Chris said it was given to me by my grandma so that I can wear it at the engagement party.”
“Grandma? His grandma or your grandma?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
“It’s his grandmother. But when we grew up together, I had a close relationship with his grandmother. My other… She died when I was very young, so I have always regarded his grandmother as mine. Moreover, grandma also treats me as if I were her biological granddaughter.” As Annie talked about her grandma, her eyes were filled with warmth and affection.
“However… Grandma’s hasn’t been very healthy recently,” Annie said. “Grandma used to say that I’m her little princess. She hopes that I’ll be married one day. It must be very beautiful and romantic. She wants me to be the happiest little princess in the world.”
Mu Xiaoxiao held her hand to comfort her.
She wanted to cheer her up, but she couldn’t tell her: ‘You’ll have a blissful life.’
It was obvious that Annie liked Ye Sijue. How could she be happy if she married someone she didn’t like?
“Is it because… of his grandmother that you insisted on not canceling the engagement?” Mu Xiaoxiao was quick to figure it out.
Annie was stunned for a moment. Then she slowly nodded her head.
