It is like a soft and gentle tune, cleverly interwoven with the melodious and elegant music around it, forming a unique and slightly sad melody.

"Ye Chen, what do you think I should do?" Lin Xi raised her exquisite face slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with eager expectation as she stared at Ye Chen in front of her. At this moment, in her eyes, Ye Chen seemed to be the only life-saving straw she could grasp in this vast sea of ​​people.

Behind her was a wall carefully decorated with countless bright and colorful flowers. The fragrance that filled her nose was like the gentlest spring breeze, gently blowing through people's hearts. These charming flowers and Lin Xi's own beauty complemented each other, making each other even more eye-catching and moving.

"I don't know what to do specifically, but in my opinion, Xiao Di Yu may not be your ideal match." Ye Chen frowned, and his deep eyes revealed a trace of deep worry. He subconsciously bit his slightly pale lips and continued, "From my observation, he looks strong and powerful, but in fact he may not really understand your inner thoughts and feelings, let alone cherish a beautiful woman like you who is as precious as a treasure."

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently passed over the pitiful Lin Xi in front of him and fell on the group of guests not far away who were dressed in gorgeous clothes.

They were seen gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and they were enjoying the joyful atmosphere brought about by this extremely luxurious engagement banquet.

"Of course I know he is not the right match for me, and I don't like him at all! The person I like from the beginning to the end is you, always you..." Lin Xi became more and more excited, so much so that her voice began to tremble slightly, and she was even a little choked.

Crystal clear tears kept swirling in her beautiful eyes, like precious gems, sparkling with heartbreaking light under the soft light.

"Lin Xi... do you know what nonsense you are talking about?" Ye Chen widened his eyes in astonishment, his mouth opened wide, his face full of unconcealable surprise and deep disbelief.

Behind him stands a beautiful sculpture that is meticulously carved. This sculpture is a work of art that is beyond compare. Its lifelike shape seems to be whispering to people some distant and mysterious ancient stories.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm about to put on my wedding dress and become someone else's bride. Don't you still have any feelings for me?" Lin Xi could no longer suppress the surging sadness in her heart. Tears quickly slid down her fair and delicate cheeks like a flood.

At this moment, on the gorgeously decorated dining table beside her were neatly laid out sets of exquisite tableware, as well as plates of delicious dishes that looked, smelled and tasted great.

However, these beautiful things that usually make people feel relaxed and happy are so dull in Lin Xi's eyes at this moment, and she has no time to care about them at all.

Ye Chen sighed helplessly, looked at Lin Xi tenderly, and gently stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to wipe away her tears. "Lin Xi, I admit that I have a good impression of you, but you have a fiancé after all, and I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to put you in a more difficult situation, and I don't want to violate morals." His voice sounded particularly low in this gorgeous environment, yet full of warmth.

Lin Xi trembled slightly, her eyes full of despair and sadness. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the gorgeous dress that symbolized bondage, tears dripping down the exquisite skirt.

Ye Chen stared quietly at Lin Xi's heartbroken look, and an indescribable pain arose in his heart, as if he was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Lin Xi, don't be like this..." He said softly, his words full of concern and helplessness. Lin Xi's originally bright and moving eyes were now red and swollen like two ripe peaches, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, like pearls that had broken off the string, which was heartbreaking.

"You look really bad," Ye Chen frowned slightly, his tone full of worry and distress, "How about letting me take you back and have a good rest?"

At this moment, Xiao Di Yu, who was not far away, happened to see this scene. When he saw Lin Xi burst into tears because of the man standing in front of her, he suddenly felt strongly unhappy. So, he stood up without hesitation and walked quickly to Ye Chen's side, and pulled Lin Xi to his side.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your good wishes. However, Lin Xi is now my fiancée, so I would like to ask Mr. Ye to grasp the scale and degree of getting along with each other." Xiao Di Yu said expressionlessly, with a hint of imperceptible hostility in his eyes.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face darkened instantly. His deep eyes became as cold and ruthless as ice. He stared straight at Xiao Di Yu and responded without flinching, "Master Yu, please clarify the situation first. Lin Xi and I have always been good friends. As a friend, isn't it natural for me to care about her?"

However, Xiao Di Yu did not seem to buy Ye Chen's explanation. He still looked at him coldly and said firmly: "No matter what your relationship was before, she is my fiancée now. I will never allow anyone other than me to care about her!"

Lin Xi looked at the two people who were on edge, and she felt even sadder. She struggled to break free from Xiao Diyu's tightly grasping hand. The moment her hands separated, it seemed as if an invisible force was pulling at her heart. She said in a trembling voice, "Stop arguing." Although the voice was not loud, it was filled with endless fatigue and helplessness.

After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly towards the corner of the banquet hall. Her steps were a little flustered, and her high heels made a rapid sound on the smooth ground. Every step seemed to be stepping on her own uneasy heart, and the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly with her movements, just like her turbulent mood at the moment.

Xiao Diyu and Ye Chen looked at each other, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and vigilance. But it was not easy for them to continue arguing at this time, after all, there were many guests present. Xiao Diyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. The anger was like a storm that was about to erupt, but he suppressed it forcefully.

Then, he turned around and walked steadily back to the center of the banquet, his face regaining that cold and arrogant look. Every step he took was filled with an inviolable majesty, as if he was announcing his status and power to everyone. He raised his chin slightly, glanced at the guests around him, and a faint sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Xi walked to the sofa in the corner and sat down, tears flowing like beads from a broken string. She twisted the hem of her dress tightly with both hands, and the exquisite hem was wrinkled by her. She lowered her head slightly, her expression full of pain, her long hair fell down, covering half of her face, but it couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes. Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was under great pressure.

Xiao Diyu walked slowly towards her with steady steps. His tall and straight body cast a shadow, completely covering her. He leaned forward slightly, staring down at her, his deep eyes flashing with an indescribable complex emotion, like resentment, unwillingness, and pain intertwined.

His voice was low and magnetic, like rumbling thunder suddenly exploding in her ears: "Does marrying me make you so sad? Is my sincerity so worthless in your eyes?" Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of long-suppressed emotions.

Lin Xi raised her head abruptly and met his gaze without fear. There was a raging fire of stubbornness burning in her beautiful eyes, the flame was hot and bright, as if no force could easily extinguish it. "Master Yu, you know that I have no feelings for you at all, this wedding is just a farce! It has no benefit to either of us!" She said loudly, her voice was clear, loud and unwavering, but if you listened carefully, you could still detect a subtle tremor in it.

"No one benefits?" Xiao Diyu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eagle-like eyes locked onto her tightly. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the depths of her soul and see through all her secrets and thoughts. "Lin Xi, I tell you, I am determined to win this marriage! No matter how you resist, no matter how much you say, it will be in vain!" He responded decisively, his tone was so strong and overbearing that it almost made people breathless, leaving her no room for negotiation.

Lin Xi stared at Xiao Diyu's resolute face with her eyes wide open. It seemed as if a nameless fire was burning in her heart, making her feel extremely irritated and angry. She stood up suddenly, her body trembling slightly, like a leaf shivering in the wind, which could be blown off the branch at any time.

"Xiao Di Yu! Why on earth won't you let me go? Don't you know? I don't have any love for you at all. How can a marriage like this with no emotional foundation be happy?" She screamed hysterically, her voice already carrying obvious crying tones, but contained in it was the power of resistance that would not yield or compromise.

After hearing these words, Xiao Diyu just narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his thin lips, and outlined a cold and disdainful smile, which was mixed with a hint of sarcasm.
