When He Yidu returned to his bedroom, he sat down on the bed and fell backward, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier above his head.
At No. 14 Research Center, he spent over ten hours in the lab every day, so he didn’t have the time to think about Lin Shuang when things got busy. But, now that he was in a relaxed state, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
He frowned and felt quite irritated. He wondered if he was out of his mind because he actually somehow understood why Lin Shuang didn’t want to get married to a man who could influence her emotions.
He exhaled and put an arm over his eyes before cursing in annoyance, "F*ck it!"
...
When An Rong knocked on the door and came in, she found He Yidu sitting on the carpet and leaning against the bed. There were empty metal cans strewn across the floor, and the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. He seemed to be working on something as he had a laptop on his lap. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Mom." He Yidu snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and moved to stand up.
"Just remain seated." An Rong motioned to him to sit back down before opening the curtains and the windows for ventilation. She went back to him and sat on the bed.
He placed the laptop aside and looked at his mother. "What’s the matter?"
Since he was all grown up now, An Rong didn’t feel comfortable asking him questions about his relationship. So, she went straight to the point. "Your grandma misses you and wants us to go visit her."
He Yidu’s eyes moved a little at the mention of Country D, but he didn’t say anything.
"I know you’re busy," An Rong continued saying, "so we’ll just stay there for a day or two."
He Yidu looked up. "Mom, I’ll video call Grandma later. I’m busy with work lately, so I can’t leave."
With the Deiss family’s influence, I’ll surely be able to get the visa to go to Country D, but the immigration side will tell Lin Shuang about this too. And if she finds out that I’m there, she’ll definitely run away again. When he remembered Lu Chengzhou’s message, He Yidu’s teal eyes darkened as he fell deep in thought.
An Rong didn’t expect to hear this answer from He Yidu even after using his grandma as an excuse. How can he not go? The President’s side has already acknowledged this marriage arrangement. He requested both families to meet. We’ve even agreed that the marriage arrangement will be void if either party isn’t satisfied with the other. We can’t possibly refuse to give them face when they’ve treated us with respect.
