She Lives without Regret in This Life

”What are you talking about?” The Duke’s face turned red with anger, and he fiercely lowered his head to bite her lip, causing Liu Yilan to cry out softly in pain.

”Come back to England with me!”

”You...you release me first.”

”Go back and be a stepmother to my son.”

”No way, I don’t want to be a stepmother!”

The two struggled in the corner, all of Liu Yilan’s escape routes were blocked by the Duke. This man was too tall and intimidating. She had to raise her head and stand on tiptoes to reach him, but struggling for a long time was useless.

”Ahem...” Someone uneasily coughed.

Then Lin En’s pitiful voice came, ”Teacher, do you really dislike me that much?”

The two turned their heads to see the entire corridor full of people, watching them comfortably. At the front were Sheng Ning, Xu Qigang, and his wife.

The Duke thought to himself that when he came in, only Xu Qigang had noticed. It must have been him purposefully ruining the Duke’s plan. But he didn’t care; he heard that Eastern women were suitable for home and family. Now that they were discovered, Yilan would have to marry him.

Liu Yilan had never been in such an awkward situation before; she wished she could faint on the spot.

”It’s alright,” the Duke said quietly, ”Everyone is blessing us!”

”...” Is this a blessing? Is this a joke? Why would anyone bless a new bride when they could be blessing them?

The cultural differences between the East and West are simply an insurmountable gap.

”Wah wah wah... Apparently, I’m really unwelcome in this family. With a stepmother comes a stepfather, I want to run away from home,” Lin En said dramatically, before switching to an eager expression and looking at the little sister in Xu Qigang’s arms.

But he was glared at by Xu Qigang, so he went to seek strong external reinforcement from Sheng Ning.

”Auntie, look, my daddy found me a stepmother, and now no one in the family likes me. Can I stay with you in the future?”

”Why do you want to stay with me?” Sheng Ning asked knowingly.

”Because then I can grow up with my wife! We’re childhood sweethearts, and other bad boys won’t have a chance.”

Sheng Ning thought it over seriously and felt that her son-in-law was quite right. If the son-in-law grew up with her daughter, other bad girls wouldn’t have a chance. This way, her daughter wouldn’t have to worry about getting married in the future.

Hahaha...

”What are you thinking?” Xu Qigang immediately saw what his wife had in mind and said discontentedly, ”When our daughter grows up, the people wanting to marry her could fill an elite group. You’re worried she won’t find a husband?”

Lin En went pale at the mention of an elite group. ”Auntie, I want to stay, I want to stay, I won’t go back.”

The Duke was displeased, ”Lin En, don’t cause trouble. This is the stepmother I’ve found for you. If you’re not at home, what about your stepmother?” Some people are just in denial, clearly wanting to find a wife for themselves, but stubbornly claiming they’re finding a stepmother for their son.

Despise.

Deeply despise.

Sheng Ning, Xu Qigang, and Little Lin En all deeply despise the Duke.

The commotion outside was really big, half the people in the banquet hall were startled. Su Huai’an carefully followed Chen Huaying outside, and Feng Xiaoli joined Renault to watch the fun.

The four were very aggrieved, what happened to being the center of attention?

Who is the bride today?

Who is the groom today?

Who the hell is this? Coming intentionally to steal the spotlight?

Chen Huaying clenched her fists and exchanged a glance with Feng Xiaoli, both revealing a sneer. Humph! Did they dare to undermine Mr. Chen’s event? Did they not inquire before coming?
