Lee Xuiye's hands trembled and the fork fell from her hand when she heard about the engagement of Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao
Didn't Mo Lingtan say that he didn't like Zhuo Ziyao? Then why was his family talking about his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao?
It was common in aristocratic families to have the engagement of their children in their teenage years to strengthen their business relationship.
There were a few children in the Capital Imperial school who were engaged and Lee Xuiye and Mo Xingjuan knew about this custom. Li Yan was also engaged.
Mo Xingjuan was happy to hear about her brother's engagement, whereas Lee Xuiye's heart again broke down.
First, Mo Lingtan rejected her, however, there was still hope that in the future Mo Lingtan might like her.
However, now if his family decided on his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao then it would be like pouring cold water on her hope.
