His heart pounded as it never had before. He was so anxious he didn't even notice his phone had fallen to the ground. He had always believed her words were empty. Knowing she and Huang Xiaojue were just colleagues hadn't worried him. He'd stubbornly thought the Huang Family's parents wouldn't agree to their marriage.
The Huang Family's parents were like a natural firewall. How could anyone, knowing her past, agree to accept a daughter-in-law like her?
But today, their wedding date was set. It was like a bolt from the blue.
He wondered what method Huang Xiaojue had used to persuade his notoriously difficult mother to agree.
He forcefully calmed himself. "Miss, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Haha, you can just take it as a joke then."
"That's true. It's not like you could get married anyway."
She didn't respond, and he didn't press further. He lay on his bed, but soon sat bolt upright. No, this absolutely won't do. If this drags on, they'll actually go through with the wedding.
