However, not many people could do that.
Hearing Ye Sijue say that, Mu Xiaoxiao sympathized with him. She sighed and said, “That’s just how Annie is… If she insists on giving up love for the family, then it’ll be really difficult to convince her otherwise.”
Unlike her willful self, Annie was the kind of person who cares about the big picture.
Mu Xiaoxiao still remembered hearing a couple of times when Annie said that she envied her.
She didn’t understand at first why Annie would envy her when she had such a good family and a good brother like William.
Later, she began to understand.
Annie was more envious of her personality, of how she could be so happy doing whatever she wanted to despite her telling Annie that she could do the same too.
But with Annie thought about the people she cared about out of habit and thus she couldn’t be like Xiaoxiao.
Then, Yin Shaojie said, “I think it can be done.”
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a curious look, “I thought that you wanted to stop us. Just now didn’t you-”
He tugged at her a couple of times.
Yin Shaojie reached out to pinch her chin, annoyed as he said, “I tugged at you so that you would be quiet. Don’t forget that we are still in other people’s turf, okay? How can you s.n.a.t.c.h someone’s bride when you’re being so loud and obvious about it? Mu Xiaoxiao, do you have a brain?”
With that said, he poked her little head with his finger.
“You’re the one without a brain! I thought… On the way here, you kept telling me that I should keep in mind what William said, so of course I would think that…” Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking. Considering Yin Shaojie’s personality, he was unlikely to budge on his stance.
Yin Shaojie said, “Of course we have to take into consideration what William said. This way, we can then find the right way to solve the problem!”
“Then what should we do now?” Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking quite disappointed as she said, “Initially, I was thinking that we could secretly take Annie back to China and hide her. Or we can go to some other country. As long as we stop them from reaching or finding Annie, we can find ways to slowly persuade Annie… In any case, we just can’t let her engagement go on!”
“That’s a bad plan,” Yin Shaojie said but he didn’t oppose her intentions.
Mu Xiaoxiao was displeased that he thought her plan wasn’t good enough, “Tell me then. What is a good plan?”
Yin Shaojie shrugged. “I haven’t thought of it yet.”
“Annie will be getting engaged very soon! If we cannot find a way, and Annie’s fiancé catches onto our plan, what will we do?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
“Shh!” Yin Shaojie covered her mouth with his hand. “Quiet down. Do you want everyone to hear you?”
There were lots of helpers in the castle walking around in the corridors. Who knew what would happen if someone overheard their conversation.
Realizing that, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth.
She lowered her voice and said, “So let’s find a solution now!”
Finally, Ye Sijue, who had been listening in to the conversation, said, “Shouldn’t you consult my opinion first?”
