I have a lot of green plums

"Follow me, don't run around."

Ying Lili turned around and reminded him, then reached out and grabbed Si Yue Yuzhi's sleeve as if she was worried, and led him towards the back door of the villa.

After entering the villa, they walked around a bit and finally stuffed Si Yue Yuzhi into a room.

"This is my room, you stay here, okay?"

Although doing so might be a bit unfair to the boy, there was no other way to give Sister Suzune a surprise.

At worst, I can give the boy more compensation when the time comes.

"Yeah. I know."

"If you're hungry I'll go get you something."

"Then please."

"You're really not polite at all."

Despite saying that, Eriri still left the room, and when she came back she was holding a bag full of food.

After handing the bag to Siyueyu, she said, "Then I'll go find Sister Lingyin first. You better behave yourself, okay?"

I felt like I was being treated like a child by the girl.

Looking at the girl's back as she left, Si Yue Yuzhi thought so.

The girl's room was very large and seemed a bit empty if she was alone, but it didn't feel quiet because there was a lively party downstairs.

April Yuzhi leaned against the window, looking at the lively crowd on the lawn below.

Igarashi Suzune looked at herself in the mirror silently. With her delicate makeup, swaying earrings, and gorgeous clothes, even she felt that she was more beautiful than ever before.

However, if you cannot show your beautiful self to the one you love, this beauty will not last long.

"Sister, the plate is ready."

The voice behind her interrupted Igarashi Suzune's silence. She looked even more beautiful when her hair was tied up.

"Thank you, Yukine."

A gentle smile appeared on her lips, even though she didn't feel happy at the moment.

"Sister..." The forced smile could not escape Igarashi Yukine's eyes. She bit her lip and said what was in her heart: "If you don't like him, tell grandpa."

She really couldn't bear to see her sister like this.

"What are you talking about? I like...I like him very much."

The pause in the middle was a reflection of her inner struggle, but she still endured the pain in her heart and said these words against her will.

The Shijo family is a large family in Tokyo. No matter from which perspective, combining with such a family will only benefit the current Igarashi family.

The Igarashi family raised her, gave her a good life and the best education. Now that the family is declining, it is time for her to repay the family.

Therefore, no matter how sad she was, she had to accept this fate.

Yes, fate... falling in love with a boy she absolutely should not like, and marrying someone she absolutely would not like, this is her fate.

"It's a lie..."

"..."

"Sister Lingyin, are you there? I'm here."

A knock on the door interrupted the silence between the sisters, and Igarashi Suzune took the opportunity to speak: "Come in, Eriri."

The door was opened and then closed again, and the girl exclaimed before she even walked up to him.

"Sister Lingyin, you are so beautiful!"

"Haha, thank you." Igarashi Suzune smiled, "Eri is also very beautiful."

The girl wore a dress that highlighted her girlishness, which was solemn yet cute. However, her hair was still in her iconic twin ponytails.

"really?"

The girl was very happy to hear the compliment, but then she pursed her lips and muttered, "Sister Lingyin has much better taste than that guy."

God knows how much I wanted to beat him up when I was standing in front of the boy in this dress, suppressing my shyness and waiting for his praise, but he just made perfunctory responses with "hmm" and "ah".

"Eri, what did you say?"

"I mean no matter how pretty you are, you won't be as pretty as Sister Suzune."

The girl smiled sweetly and quickly got away with it.

"Really..." Igarashi Suzune smiled and shook her head. If they continued to flatter each other like this, there would be no end.

After thinking about it, Igarashi Suzune changed the subject.

"By the way, what surprise did Eriri prepare for me today?"

"Hey, it's a secret."

"Eh? You still won't tell me even at this time?"

"Sister Suzune will know when the time comes." Eriri was a little proud of her magic and said, "It will definitely surprise you."

“Then I’m really looking forward to it more and more.”

She actually didn't have that many expectations. No matter how precious the gift was, if she didn't like it, it would be just an ordinary object to her.

"By the way, Eriri. I'll tell you the answer after this party is over."

"About the true identity of the person you've been pursuing."

"Uh......"

"Sister Lingyin, I already know."

"Eh?!"

Chapter 201 Are You Willing?

The party started not long after the three girls started talking.

As time went by, after everyone had toasted each other and chatted, the banquet finally came to the most important part.

They are not here today to discuss business or reminisce about the past.

"Now, we would like to invite the eldest daughter of the Igarashi family, Miss Igarashi!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the whole place gradually quieted down. But soon the crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor could be heard again.

One of today's protagonists walked to the center of the venue under the gaze of everyone, and on the other side of her, a handsome man in a suit also slowly walked towards her.

Shijo Masaji, the name of today's male protagonist, is also the eldest son of the famous Shijo family.

Finally, the two faced each other and looked at each other.

"As expected of the daughter of the Igarashi family, her beauty is just like the description of Princess Kaguya in the book."

"The son of the Shijo family is not bad either."

"What a perfect match."

"The powerful alliance between the Igarashi family and the Shijo family..."

After a short silence, the crowd began to praise and flatter at the right time. Next, the engagement tokens were exchanged under the witness of the elders of both parties.

Igarashi Suzune looked at the handsome man in front of her, a happy smile on her face, but this smile could not reach her eyes.

Si Yueyuzhi now had no idea how far the banquet had progressed. He could only listen to the occasional noise coming from below and scroll through his phone boredly.

He had already eaten most of the snacks the girl brought him. Just when he was about to take the cake next to him, the door was suddenly opened.

"Hurry up and get ready, it's your turn to perform soon."

"We're finally here." To be honest, there were few things that made him feel bored, and staying alone in a strange place like this was one of them.

"You must behave well, understand?" Ignoring April Yuzhi's complaints, Eriri earnestly reminded her, "Today is a very important day for Sister Lingyin."

She had reminded him of this matter several times, but she felt uneasy every time she didn't repeat it again. After all, the impression the young man in front of her gave her was really unreliable.

"Don't worry."

Si Yueyuzhi nodded. Even without the girl's reminder, he would try his best to play.

"Then you come with me."

The live music was very gentle, and the professional orchestra played beautiful music with all their heart.

Amidst this warm music and the gazes of the crowd, Igarashi Suzune smiled, raised her hand, and stretched it out in front of the man in front of her.

Masaji Shijo could sense that the woman in front of him did not like him, even though she had a happy smile on her face.

He knew that the woman's smile was for the others present to see, because he did the same.

The eldest daughter of the Igarashi family doesn't like him, and he doesn't like her either. Who would like someone they haven't even met a few times? Love at first sight is rare after all.

But even though he didn't like it in his heart, he still picked up the silver diamond ring and slowly put it on the white and slender ring finger in front of him.

The elders’ gazes became more and more kind, and they were surrounded by the blessings from the audience.

Igarashi Suzune wanted to cry, but in order to prevent others from noticing her feelings, she forced a smile and looked at the man in front of her.

This man who was about to become her husband, but whom she didn't like at all.

If only the person in front of him was that person. He took her hand and put the diamond ring on her finger with a smile.

Such rebellious thoughts arose in my mind at an inappropriate time, even though I knew I shouldn't think about such things in such a situation.

But whenever she thought of that scene, she felt happy, and such happiness took root in her heart like magic beans, difficult to suppress.

If only it were him.

Igarashi Suzune prayed in her heart.

Perhaps the God heard her request, because when her eyes inadvertently passed over the man in front of her, she saw the familiar figure passing through the crowd.

His pupils contracted in an instant, and even his raised hand trembled unconsciously.

Bang~

Under the gaze of everyone, the diamond ring fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"..."

The atmosphere became silent in an instant, and even the elders on both sides stood up unconsciously.

In such an important occasion, even the slightest mistake would be considered a major incident, and the people who had been watching the newlyweds naturally discovered the cause of the incident.

"Lingyin, what's wrong with you?"

As the new head of the Igarashi family, Hisahito Igarashi asked first. The music stopped at this moment because of the solemn atmosphere in the field.

Because he did not inherit the talents of his ancestors and parents, he could only work in the education industry, and he was unable to save the Igarashi family from decline.

Now, the only way to save the Igarashi family is through marriage.

Therefore, he regarded this marriage as extremely important and could not afford any mistakes.

"Uncle, I didn't hold it firmly, please don't blame Lingyin."

Shijo Masaji quickly stepped forward to take the responsibility. After all, he was indeed a little absent-minded. If he had been more serious, a slight tremor would not have caused him to accidentally drop the ring in his hand.

"Yes, sorry."

Igarashi Suzune's heart was trembling constantly. She felt guilty that such a serious change had occurred because of her own problems.

But what made her equally uncomfortable was the appearance of the young man. She really wanted to see him, but not in this situation.
