Zhou Ning'er's engagement banquet has been rescheduled.

After she regained consciousness, she knelt outside Zhou Lin's study for a whole day.

"Dad is not like this!

"I have always been obedient. It was because someone framed me and forced me to do such ridiculous things.

"That wasn't me at all..."

In the study, I sat on Zhou Lin and kissed him passionately.

My hair flowed over his chest, emitting a fragrance after bathing.

"A Lin, Ning'er has realized her mistake and is now engaged to the Shen family. Don't make things difficult for her anymore..."

Zhou Lin ignored the crying outside the study and caressed my lips with his fingers.

Then he sighed deeply.

"Jiao Jiao, if every woman could be as gentle and obedient as you, it would be great."

I embraced him affectionately, but deep inside, I was extremely ironic—

Gentle and obedient?

Yes, anyone who defies you would have turned to dust long ago.

Zhou Ning'er's mother was one of them, right?

The study door opened, and I walked out and squatted down to meet Zhou Ning'er's tearful gaze.

She looked at the study door with a grievous expression.

"Why is it you? Where is my dad? Why won't he come out to see me?"

I shook my head gently, wearing a very understanding expression.

"Your dad still loves you. It's just that this time didn't end well. He has been worried about you for a long time and now wants to be alone for a while.

"Ning'er, give him some time to recover, and he will meet you soon."

For the first time, Zhou Ning'er looked directly into my eyes, her eyes turning red.

"Is what you're saying true? Dad is willing to reconcile?"

I smiled gently, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

Good, no resistance.

"Ning'er, I know how important you are to him. I'm even a little jealous."

After hearing that, Zhou Ning'er smiled proudly.

"Of course, my dad only dotes on me. There can't be any other woman in his eyes."

I continued speaking, considering her feelings.

"Although your dad arranged the engagement, it's just a formality.

"After all, who knows when the actual wedding will take place? You should be familiar with the tricks of prestigious families; he's genuinely protecting you.

"So, be good, apologize to your dad, okay? Ning'er, he really loves you."

Zhou Ning'er, for once, changed her expression towards me.

She no longer stubbornly knelt but went to prepare her dress for the grand entrance.

Watching her leave, a cold smile crept up on my lips:

Zhou Ning'er, oh Zhou Ning'er.

The most exciting part hasn't even begun yet, so you mustn't collapse.

Otherwise, it won't be satisfying enough.

With that thought in mind, I turned around and walked in the opposite direction, preparing several elegant dresses.

After all, it's Zhou Ning'er's engagement banquet.

Zhou Lin, in front of his deceased wife's relatives, can't openly proclaim our relationship.

But having me make an appearance is also a "sweet treat" for me—

To go from a secret lover to such an occasion is a great reward in his eyes.

But I'm not just any canary.

I am the cage that can strangle him.
