She had absolutely no idea what it was about because her attention was not focused there. She could only hear the television’s noise since her mind had already floated elsewhere.

When she was fifteen-years-old, the Qi family and the Song family decided for her to be engaged with Qi Chengji. However, they were still young at the time, so the engagement was a simple one that only those within the rich circle knew about.

At fifteen-years-old, Song Yu had no way of refusing, since she had no authority to say no to her family.

Back then, she, Guan Xiaolin, and Jian Yi were always together. He matured into a handsome sunshine of an eighteen-year-old young man, and she began to develop feelings for him.

Those days, she already understood the disparity between their family backgrounds, but she never took it seriously. She was at an age where love trumped everything else.

She was his gentle counterpart, and once in a while, their chemistry could be seen in the way they looked at each other. There was also a strong attraction in the air when they were alone, but neither had ever truly said anything about it, so throughout that time, they were always more than friends but less than lovers.

After finding out about her family’s decision, she ran in search of Jian Yi. He heard what she had to say, and although hurt flashed across his handsome face, he managed to suppress them after some time. He then said hoarsely, “Congratulations. I forgot that Song Song is already grown up.”

“My engagement, don’t you have anything to say about it?” Her lips, along with her voice, was trembling.

He patted her on the head and said, “As long as he treats you well.”

That day, she ran back home, hid in her room, and cried the whole night.
