Xi Cheng opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. In the end, he couldn’t say a word. Lin Yu let out a soft sigh and gave him a tearful and bitter smile. “Xi Cheng, I’m sorry. Although it wasn’t my intention to seek out Miss Fang Xi, and it was Auntie who asked me to go with her to learn how to be a matriarch, I’m still an accomplice, aren’t I?”

Fang Xi, and it was Auntie who asked me to go with her to learn how to be a matriarch, I’m still an accomplice, aren’t I?”

Lin Yu added, “I’m sorry for hurting her. I’ll definitely personally apologize to her if I get the chance. She’s such a fine young woman. If things were different… maybe we could’ve been friends.”

Xi Cheng’s expression softened. Lin Yu then covered her mouth with her hand and started to cry. “But I never expected you to also have feelings for Gu Man! She’s my best friend! She even asked us to introduce Shi Nian to her, but it all turned out to be fake. The one she truly likes is you!”

“*Sobs* Xi Cheng, why don’t we break up? I’ll give my position as your fiancée so, so you and Gu Man can be together! *Cough* *cough* *cough*” Lin Yu cried so hard that she started to cough violently.

Xi Cheng quickly patted her back and said anxiously, “That’s nonsense; there’s nothing between Gu Man and me. Things are impossible between us! I know she’s Mom’s goddaughter and your best friend, so how could I have any intentions towards her?”

Lin Yu stopped coughing, took the opportunity to hold Xi Cheng’s hand, and glanced up at him in disbelief. Seeing this, Xi Cheng hastily continued, “I’m telling the truth! I really don’t have any feelings for Gu Man! I drank too much yesterday and don’t know what I did at all. It was a maid who just told me that —that I’d imposed myself on her. I’m sorry! I was completely drunk, I swear!”

Xi Cheng looked quite chagrined. Lin Yu could never bear to see Xi Cheng uncomfortable and immediately relaxed her attitude. However, she still couldn’t help but ask softly, “Really? You aren’t lying to me?”

Xi Cheng nodded earnestly. “I swear to God, it’s true!”

Hearing that, Lin Yu completely relaxed and laid back on her pillow with Xi Cheng’s help, staring at Xi Cheng with an aggrieved expression.
