Chapter 2 — I Said Yes
Shang Zhiyuan froze. “What?”
He stared at me, stunned, as if he couldn’t decide whether he had heard correctly.
“…You’re agreeing?”
“I’m not making a scene,” I said again, steady and clear. “Didn’t you say you’d marry me? Then I’m agreeing.”
The entire hall went quiet.
In my last life, at this moment, I had turned away in white and left.
This time, I lifted my chin and stayed.
My mother rushed over and grabbed my hands, voice trembling. “Good. That’s good… You’re both our daughters. We won’t let either of you suffer.”
She pulled Xue Zhenzhen closer as well, forcing our hands together for the guests to see.
Xue Zhenzhen’s lashes were lowered; she looked timid and soft, as if she feared being disliked.
In my last life, that act had made me feel guilty.
This time, I only watched her—quietly, coldly.
Because I had already died once.
And I would not die the same way twice.
