43 POLITICAL MARRIAGE (2/2)

”We're just friends. I don't have any romantic feelings towards him.”

Mu Lingxi spoke with a tone that allows no objection. She stared directly at Mu Ruochen's eyes. Hoping that it can help to add effect and emphasize her great insistence on the need to reconsider her sudden betrothal to the prince.

”You will eventually develop your feelings to the prince over time, little girl.”

”No! You don't understand me at all! What I mean is I cannot marry Prince Long Fuzi because I didn't love him at all...”

”What is the difference whether you love him before or after the marriage??? Please little girl, stop this nonsense! Go back to your room now. I don't want to hear anything about this anymore.”

”I can't believe you,.. of all the people. Why is it you who have to do this to me??? Why???

Am I really just a mere tool on your eyes??? Have you ever saw me as a real family before??? Or you are just raising me like a fat lamb, to be slaughtered in the future? To be conveniently used at your disposal????”

”Stop this drama Mu Lingxi! I had enough of your tantrums. Have I not dote you enough in the past? It's your turn to repay that kindness. Think about how our clan will benefit to this marriage arrangement. Don't just think about yourself and do this for me and your clan, just this once.”

For the second time, Mu Lingxi felt the suffocating feeling as if something was stock within her throat.

Her chest hurt so much due to the mixed emotion that she was holding back to herself, threatening to explode her into who-knows-what.

She was not sure why, but she feels betrayed. Maybe because she takes Mu Ruochen as her real grandfather???

Maybe because she thought that for the first time in her two lives, she could finally have a family that she could call her own, and a doting one on top of that.

Yet the truth was all for her to see. It was nothing but a facade.
