That's right. Although she was his fiancée, he had always been indifferent to her. He was polite to her, but that was all. His attitude was always distant; he had never lost his temper with her, nor had he ever smiled at her.
Their relationship was barely better than that of strangers since childhood. She liked him, had liked him since she was a child, and her biggest dream was to become Mu Nanxun's wife. But she also knew clearly that he didn't like her.
After saving him in the jungle, their relationship didn't progress much; she simply gained the title of "Mu Nanxun's fiancée." But in reality, the person who saved Mu Nanxun's life in the jungle that day wasn't her. This was a secret buried deep in her heart; she wouldn't reveal it, for if she did, she would lose even that title.
The time she spent being Mu Nanxun's fiancé was the happiest period of her life. She believed that once she married Mu Nanxun, she would have plenty of time to slowly cultivate their relationship. However, despite trying various methods she was too ashamed to admit, she still couldn't even get into his bed.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't answered." Xia An's voice interrupted her thoughts.
She snapped out of her daze and forced a smile. "It's nothing."
Only she knew that the smile was clearly a bitter smile.
"Sis, I warned you before, this woman is really something else. Look at her looks and figure, she's absolutely one in a million. Sis, as her younger brother, I'm telling you the truth, you really can't compare to her in these two aspects."
"So what? Nanxun isn't that shallow!" Xia Bingqing was a little agitated and almost lost her composure. "What I mean is, my relationship with your brother-in-law is very stable. He didn't marry me because of my appearance. I believe he wouldn't do anything to betray me."
Even she herself couldn't convince herself with these words. Moreover, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, while bystanders see things more clearly.
Xia An looked at her suspiciously. "Sister, you don't need to hide it from me. There's no affection between you two. Your husband only wants to get engaged to you because you saved him. In a man's heart, this is just compensation. If no one he likes ever comes into his life, you might be able to maintain this status, but once someone he likes appears, do you think he would still give up his own happiness just because you saved him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How would you know whether there are feelings between me and your brother-in-law! Nanxun wants to marry me because he loves me, not because I saved him!"
Xia Bingqing couldn't help but scold her. These words were not only deceiving Xia An, but also deceiving herself.
Xia An was known for her womanizing and philandering ways, but precisely because of this, her affair with Mu Nanxun couldn't be hidden from his eyes. Although his words were harsh, she had to admit in her heart that they were true.
From the moment this woman named Yi Yi first appeared, she sensed a tremendous crisis. Now, with Yi Yi appearing at Mu Nanxun's home, she felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
It took Xia Bingqing a long time to calm herself down. She appeared completely unconcerned, trying her best to maintain the demeanor of the future mistress of the house.
"Uncle Zhang, who was that girl just now? I don't think I've seen her before." Judging from Uncle Zhang's attitude towards her, she should just be a servant or something.
