INFORMATIONAL GUIDE

TOC

Lin Yi was very slowly led along by Pei Xuanqing. He could ‘see’ someone behind pushing Pei Xuanqing, ambling alongside him, seeming to follow his rhythm completely.

Layering on another level of confusion in his heart, this Pei Xuanqing seemed a little bit different from what the rumors stated. Wasn’t this taking care of him?

Lin Yi’s mind suddenly became lively again. In that case, wouldn’t his chances of making a deal with Pei Xuanqing be a bit bigger?

Thinking to this point, Lin Yi put away all of his other thoughts and decided to be a well-behaved ‘wife.’ Everything would be done according to Pei Xuanqing’s intentions. He would do whatever he was asked and strive to build up a good impression in front of Pei Xuanqing, hoping that when bringing up a deal, Pei Xuanqing would also ‘take care’ of him like he was doing now.

So next, Pei Xuanqing keenly noticed Lin Yi’s obedience. It was like he was holding a puppet by the hand that did whatever he asked, entirely without hesitance or contradiction, obedient and tame.

The light in Pei Xuanqing’s eyes flickered as if contemplating something.

……

The Pei Residence was vast, and there were many guests who had come to attend the ceremony that day.

Lin Yi followed by Pei Xuanqing’s side, watching the figures dozens of meters around him coming and going. He already had no sense of direction, and except for Pei Xuanqing firmly leading him by the hand, he was already dizzy, not knowing dusk from dawn. At that moment, he once again felt the difficulty of being blind, so the urge of wanting to cure his eyes became more pressing.

If his eyes weren’t cured, a situation like today’s would only forever continue.

Subconsciously, sweat seeped from his palms, dampening as Pei Xuanqing held his hand, making the spot where their palms linked clammy and hot.

“There’s no need to be nervous.” Pei Xuanqing’s comforting voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s anxiety and unease dissipated a bit.

Because Pei Xuanqing decided to escort the bride in person, not only did the Lin Family have to make enough arrangements for the wedding, but the Pei Family also made the arrangements even grander. For example, Pei Xuanqing’s parents originally planned to simplify the wedding ceremony, but now they also took their seats in the main hall to accept the kneeling ceremony of Pei Xuanqing and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn’t aware of the inside story. He just did as Pei Xuanqing said; if he asked him to kneel, he would kneel, and if he asked him to offer tea, he would offer tea.

Naturally, he didn’t know that after Pei Xuanqing’s mother received tea from him, she saw that he was beautiful and both obedient and sensible. Her hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly, and the man next to her promptly held it up before she lost her composure.

The surrounding atmosphere around him seemed to become a bit strange. Lin Yi didn’t know what was wrong and subconsciously held his breath.

Did he do anything wrong just now? He held the teacup very steadily; there was absolutely not one bit of spillage!

Subconsciously, Lin Yi turned his puzzled gaze and ‘looked’ toward Pei Xuanqing beside him. To offer tea just then, Pei Xuanqing had released his hand.

Seeing his bewildered appearance, Mother Pei secretly took a deep breath, laid down the teacup, and reached out to take Lin Yi’s hand, “Good child, this is a greeting gift for you.”

A very small box was placed in his hand.

Lin Yi was stunned momentarily before immediately reacting, “Thank you.”

He didn’t know how he should address Pei Xuanqing’s mother, so he could only simply say his thanks. In any case, he had enough self-awareness and wasn’t foolish enough to actually call Pei Xuanqing’s mother, mother.

But just this simple thank you sounded a bit dry to others.

In the silence, Pei Xuanqing took the small box from Lin Yi’s hand and replaced it with his palm once more, “Father, Mother, it’s time we went to see Grandfather.”

“Go ahead.” Father Pei said.

They were even going to meet Patriarch Pei?

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled again. He was sure that the information he had received from the Lin Family wasn’t false and that Pei Xuanqing only married him in order to treat his legs, so logically speaking, it was impossible for the Pei Family to actually regard him as Pei Xuanqing’s wife. But now, not only did he pay his respects to Pei Xuanqing’s parents, but he was also going to pay a formal visit to the Patriarch of the Pei Family?

From the beginning, he felt that after entering the gate of the Pei Residence, things were quite different from what he thought.

Translator’s Note

Because this chapter is quite pitifully short, I decided that I’ll try and crank out an extra chapter to post tomorrow!
