In the two days of wedding preparations, everyone seemed to have forgotten the previous gossip, and the talk of the town after meals was about the wonderful marriage between the Lin and Xu families.

The whole city was celebrating the wedding, but Lin Yang, trapped in the Lin residence, threatened to starve herself, weeping constantly, muttering, "I won't marry him, I won't marry him..."

For two days, he not only did not eat a single grain of rice, but he also did not drink a drop of water.

No one can hold on like that. Lin Yang was lying on the edge of the bed, her cheeks were so thin that they were slightly sunken, and her cheekbones were protruding.

He looked completely listless, like a rag doll clinging to life.

"Knock knock—" The door, which had been silent for two days, was knocked on for the first time on the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year.

"Get out! I said I won't eat! And I won't marry!" Lin Yang thought that Madam Song was being kind to him and had sent someone to deliver food, so he used his last bit of strength to shout at the door.

The knocking stopped, and the person outside hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Sister-in-law, it's me."

The voice sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?

Having not eaten for so long, Lin Yang's mind had become sluggish.

"Xu Chenghuan?" Lin Yang asked tentatively, mixing the voice outside the door with the lively girl's voice in her mind.

"It's me, sister-in-law," the person outside the door replied, confirming that Lin Yang hadn't mistaken her for someone else.

"Why are you here? To act as a mediator?" Lin Yang braced himself against the bed frame and tried several times before he could stand up unsteadily.

Their steps were like floating as they moved forward.

The bed wasn't far from the door, but it took Lin Yang a full two minutes to slowly walk to the door.

Exhausted after just a few steps, I leaned against the door, panting, and pressed my ear against the cold door, trying to hear the reply from the person outside.

As soon as she stood up, she felt extremely dizzy. Xu Chenghuan's words seemed to echo in her ears.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to persuade you, I'm here to take you clubbing." Xu Chenghuan also leaned against the door so that he could hear Lin Yang's weak voice clearly.

What?

Lin Yang, who was so hungry that she felt dizzy, thought there was something wrong with her ears.

Go clubbing?

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Yang couldn't understand Xu Chenghuan's thought process. Why would she take her to a disco?

"No, sister-in-law, there are lots of handsome guys at that bar. Consider it your last night as a bachelor, let yourself be a little indulgent." The conversation eventually veered back to Lin Yang's marriage plans.

Yes, why would Xu Chenghuan need to act as a lobbyist?

In her heart, her marriage with Xu Chengzhi was already a done deal and could not be changed.

"Go back. I'm not just having one last single night. In a couple of days, I'll ask your brother for a divorce and be a single girl forever!" Lin Yang dragged her weak body, trying to leave through the door.

“Sister-in-law, why torture yourself like this? No matter how much you go on a hunger strike, cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide, you're still going to marry my brother tomorrow. I think you're a smart woman; you must know that in the end, you'll only suffer, right? What's meant to happen will happen; you can't change it.” Xu Chenghuan sighed. “Instead of this, why not indulge yourself a little? At least you'll get some temporary pleasure, won't you? Besides…”

Besides, my brother is a good person. What is it that you're not satisfied with?

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yang interrupted her.

"Give up, I'm not going! And I'm not marrying your brother!" Lin Yang declared.

"Sigh, fine. I heard that bar has been getting a lot of really good-looking men lately. Looks like I'll have to go and admire them all by myself." Xu Chenghuan sighed, turned around, and started walking.
