On the day of her discharge, it was dusk.
Tang Yutong breathed in the air outside the hospital and let out a satisfied sigh. If she stayed any longer, she would go crazy!
"Come visit often," a man's voice behind her said, sounding like he deserved a beating. Tang Yutong's body stiffened slightly. She didn't need to turn around to know it was Ji Feng.
That stinky man. Tang Yutong was about to turn around when she felt a sudden large hand on her waist, making her alert.
"Ignore him," came Mo Jin's low, lazy voice mixed with a hint of annoyance.
Almost forgot, these two were on the same team!
Unable to speak her anger, Tang Yutong reluctantly glared at the smug man in front of her and turned her head away.
"Mr. Mo, you have time," Ji Feng said, ignoring Mo Jin's indifference. "Don't forget about tonight's invitation. You can't miss it!"
So annoying.
With just a glance, Ji Feng shut up.
In the car, the butler drove in the front while the two in the back sat far apart. Tang Yutong did it on purpose. She felt suffocated when she was too close to Mo Jin, but she wouldn't admit it was because of the man's extraordinary aura!
"What's happening tonight?" Tang Yutong broke the silence, thinking back to Ji Feng's words and casually finding a topic.
"Do you want to go?" Mo Jin's indifferent gaze looked over, seemingly probing.
"Well..." Tang Yutong, who would never normally join in on such a gathering, had been in the hospital for too long and was about to go crazy. It might as well be a chance to have some fun.
Tang Yutong pondered for a moment, pretending to be indifferent, "Then let's go take a look."
Mo Jin raised an eyebrow and didn't speak immediately. He seemed surprised by Tang Yutong's behavior today. After a while, he lowered his voice and instructed, "Let's change course and buy a dress."
Rich people are really different. They can just buy things casually!
Tang Yutong pursed her lips. Compared to them, she was quite poor as the young lady of the Tang family...
Until everything was settled, Tang Yutong stood at the entrance of the Wen family mansion, staring at the large wedding invitation in front of the door, dazed.
It read - Congratulations, Wen Xuan and Bai Zhiyue's engagement banquet.
The first thing that came to Tang Yutong's mind was his name. She didn't know where she had put the card later, but today it seemed to be fate.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Jin followed her gaze and stopped at the two characters "Wen Xuan," his eyes obscure and unclear.
Tang Yutong shook her head and didn't plan to talk about the incident where she had used his name to save someone that day.
"Mr. Mo, nice to meet you."
A man stood not far away, with a seemingly gentle appearance, but Tang Yutong sensed a hint of danger.
Mo Jin raised his eyes lightly and nodded in greeting.
He didn't want to come over, and if it weren't for the woman in his arms being interested, Mo Jin would never attend this kind of wedding banquet, which was also a marriage alliance banquet.
Tang Yutong saw the unwilling Bai Zhiyue next to the man at a glance, and her eyes lit up.
"It's you."
She murmured, just about to take a step forward to say hello, but was held in Mo Jin's arms and couldn't move.
Bai Zhiyue also saw Tang Yutong at the first moment, but pretended not to recognize her and turned her head away.
And so, the four of them exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts. Tang Yutong stood in the corner, her curiosity focused on the woman who was following Wen Xuan through the crowd. Even if she was reluctant, did she really need to be so obvious about it...
Bai Zhiyue's hands appeared to be quietly placed in front of her, but her wrists were covered by a veil. Tang Yutong raised her eyebrows with interest. Was she tied up with a rope?
"What are you looking at?" When Mo Jin returned from the bathroom, he saw the woman looking around.
Tang Yutong was momentarily stunned and almost screamed in surprise. The next second, she turned her eyes and approached Mo Jin in a pleasing manner. "Um, can I go and meet the bride today?"
"Do you really want to meet her?" Mo Jin's eyes darkened. This woman was never an easy person to deal with. He avoided her and warned in a low voice, "You better not mess with the person from the Wen family!"
Ignoring his words, Tang Yutong was not listening to him at all. Mo Jin pinched her chin and forced her to look at him. "Did you hear me?"
Damn woman, did she need to look at other men when he was around?
Tang Yutong slapped away his big hand and said firmly, "I just feel that Bai Zhiyue looks familiar, that's all. I won't look if you don't want me to."
"You're restricting me with just this little request." Tang Yutong muttered deliberately in a low voice.
As expected, the next second, Mo Jin took her by the hand and led her into the crowd. His voice came into her ears, "I'm not stopping you from looking. Just be obedient in the future."
In the time that Tang Yutong had spent with Mo Jin, she knew that he was not a dictatorial, chauvinistic person.
Wen Xuan looked at Mo Jin standing in front of him and was slightly surprised.
"My wife said she wants to meet your fiancée," Mo Jin said, his voice a little stiff. He was not used to doing this kind of thing and felt a bit awkward.
Tang Yutong quickly took over, "Yes, I happen to need to go to the bathroom. Why don't you let Miss Bai accompany me?"
She blinked innocently.
Bai Zhiyue stood aside, pursing her lips. She seemed particularly unwilling to talk to the people around her. "I'll go," she said.
Wen Xuan smiled softly and looked at Bai Zhiyue with tenderness. "Be good," he said.
Tang Yutong was stunned. This was her first impression of Wen Xuan.
Tang Yutong led Bai Zhiyue to the bathroom, followed by a large group of bodyguards and servants. She felt a bit annoyed. Did they really need to make such a big fuss over going to the bathroom?
When they arrived at the bathroom, Bai Zhiyue slammed the door shut and sat on the sofa.
Someone had already cleared the bathroom beforehand, which meant that they were the only ones in there now.
"Help me untie this," Bai Zhiyue said, biting the gauze on her hands. As Tang Yutong had suspected, her hands were tied with soft ropes.
Tang Yutong walked over and quickly untied her. "It seems like every time I see you, it's either you're running for your life or running away from marriage," she joked.
"It's a long story," Bai Zhiyue said, shaking her head. Her pink cheeks were slightly sweaty, which made Tang Yutong feel a little dizzy.
How could someone be so beautiful that it was suffocating, yet not be detestable?
Bai Zhiyue spoke in a frivolous tone, "It was him, Wen Xuan, who wanted to catch me last time."
Tang Yutong hesitated for a moment before giving in to her curiosity and asking, "Is he really that scary?"
"Not really," Bai Zhiyue said slowly, tilting her head. "Our two families are both aristocratic, but people like him won't fall in love with me. Instead of spending my life with someone who won't love me, I might as well try to win him over."
