My Youth (9)
Arranged marriages are often coded as forced marriage. As far as Lu Xingyan knew, half of the marriages worldwide are arranged even to this day, some good, most bad. Even to this age, it is used to strengthen two families' relationships and business.
As for Han Yehan's case, Lu Xingyan could already guess that it was because of strengthening his family. She could only guess that whoever was arranged for him, it is probably a woman who came from a family that has a connection with the Azure Republic.
"After giving them your word, you're finally trying to break it after getting what you wanted?" Even if she sounded like she was against his request, she has actually made up her mind in helping him out of it already.
He lowered his head, "I can't just let her control my life anymore, you know."
Lu Xingyan furrowed her brows in confusion. "Her?"
He smiled a bit, clenching his fists as he did. He was quiet for a while, not giving her any answers.
