Chapter 55: Chapter 55: You’re the Sow

"I wasn’t watching closely! I was startled!" Mu Yiliang hurriedly explained.

Yan Sijue earnestly scrutinized her, the emotions in his dark pupils indecipherable.

"Really..." Mu Yiliang weakly defended herself.

Yan Yaoting and Su Yan’s OOXX had no aesthetic appeal whatsoever! She really wasn’t watching closely!

Fortunately, at this moment, Yan Sijue wasn’t in the mood to tease her. He just gave a faint smile, then changed the subject, saying, "We should be going back."

"Hmm... okay." Mu Yiliang also felt that tonight’s banquet had been quite eventful; she needed to go back and digest it all.

However, just as Mu Yiliang was about to leave, she suddenly overheard a conversation not far away.

"...I don’t care! It’s all your fault for saying I’m too young! Otherwise, I would have been the one in the spotlight today!" a petulant female voice said.

It was Mu Yixun.

"But your sister has already married into the Yan Family!" a middle-aged man’s voice said.

"So what? With her looks, the Yan Family must feel ashamed! She neither aligns with you nor wins the brother-in-law’s favor, holding a title of Young Madam Yan that brings no substantial benefit to our family!"

"This..." The man seemed to be swayed and hesitated for a moment, saying, "But, for no good reason, how can we explain to the Yan Family?"

"It’s all your fault! If I had been the one to marry the brother-in-law, our family would have gained much more than it has now!" Mu Yixun said resentfully, clearly without any better plan.

The conversation abruptly stopped there.

Mu Yiliang found it amusing yet awkward and couldn’t help but glance at Yan Sijue.

He smiled thoughtfully, "Was it your sister and dad speaking just now?"

Mu Yiliang timidly nodded.

"Your sister seems to be just fifteen? That’s indeed pretty young." Yan Sijue mused.

Mu Yiliang thought wryly, could it be this man actually wants to marry Mu Yixun?

"If... if you think she’s better, I won’t mind if you..." Mu Yiliang clumsily said.

"Spineless!" Yan Sijue frowned and gave her a glance, "Someone wants to steal your man, and you’re just going to give up without a fight? I didn’t know you were so generous!"

Uh...

What does he mean, her man...

But this statement somehow sounded quite pleasing, and Mu Yiliang felt secretly delighted.

"I don’t want you to be criticized because of me..." she snuck a look at him.

The man raised an eyebrow.

"Criticized... what does that even mean?" He curled his lips, his eyebrows bold and striking, "As it stands, even if I married a princess, people would say I’m freeloading. But soon enough, even if I marry a sow, they’ll say I have extraordinary taste."

Mu Yiliang was speechless!

Though when he said this, the man in front of her seemed incredibly sexy and charming due to his unparalleled confidence and charisma, but what did he mean by marrying a sow? Was he implying she was a sow?

No, you’re the sow! Your whole family is sows! Mu Yiliang thought angrily!

"Let’s go." Yan Sijue didn’t notice the woman in front of him cursing him in her mind as he took her hand, leading her towards the exit of the banquet hall.

Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a bit dazed.

For a moment, she even felt like spending a lifetime with this man might not be such a bad idea.

No, absolutely not! She didn’t want her life to be defined so early! She quickly pushed this unsettling thought deep down!
