「Night fell.」
Neon lights adorned the city, making it even more beautiful.
Hua Xiaomo wandered aimlessly through the streets for quite a while. Only when the sunset tinged her cheeks red did she return to the villa.
This is awful, living here feels like I'm covered in thorns; it's nowhere near as good as that old hovel I used to live in.
Chaohu Alley might have been dirty, messy, and generally unpleasant, but living there had been comfortable and liberating. No one controlled her; she could do whatever she wanted. It was nothing like her current situation, where she felt restricted at every turn and was even facing a forced marriage.
What on earth should I do?
Now, her parents had already agreed to marry her off to Second Young Master Qi, Qi Lingfeng—who was also Xia Shuangming.
But if she insisted on refusing, her parents would be furious.
Moreover, her mother wants to live in a large house, and I'm afraid there might not be one available if this falls through.
