The marriage between Li Qiao and Shang Yu was thus settled in the calm tone of Shang Zonghai.
It went too smoothly, which spawned a rather bizarre thought in Li Qiao's mind, as if it didn't matter to Shang Zonghai which of his sons she was engaged to—he seemed happy either way.
Even though just a few months ago, she and Shang Lu had called off their engagement, it appeared to him as though it was no big deal.
After dinner, Shang Zonghai and Mr. and Mrs. Li continued to chat in the rest area, while Li Qiao silently left Lan Hall and unwittingly found herself in the Green Garden of the backyard.
Dressed in a red gown, she stood amidst the lush greenery of the garden, gazing trance-like at a banana tree.
Footsteps approached from behind. Li Qiao didn't turn around, and soon felt a warmth press against her back.
She remained standing, simply leaning back into the man's embrace.
