"Why?"

Liu Lingfei grabbed Han Longhu's arm: "Longhu, didn't you say you see me as a younger sister? You know my heart belongs to someone else. Why force me to marry you? This isn't happiness; it's torture. If it really comes to that, I'd rather die."

"So you really like him, is that it?"

Han Longhu affectionately patted Liu Lingfei on the head: "Do you think your family will agree for you to marry someone with an unknown background? If we break off the engagement, we might be happy, but outsiders will believe that the Liu Family and the Han Family have become estranged. Over the years, there have been no shortage of people looking to take advantage of the Liu Family. If it really gets that bad, the consequences are beyond what we can bear!"

"I can leave the family with nothing!"

Liu Lingfei was a spoiled little princess, and also a hopeless romantic willing to sacrifice everything for love.

She had long since prepared for the worst, and she would never easily compromise.

"Silly girl, can you really sever ties with your blood and family?"

Han Longhu pinched her little nose and said: "Actually, I didn't agree with this marriage at first either. To be honest, I already have someone in the military. But as a member of the family, we have to understand the way the world works. Marriages aren't just about the two of us; they're about the lives of hundreds of people in the two families. We can't afford to lose."

"Does my sister-in-law know about this too?"

Liu Lingfei blinked and looked at Han Longhu excitedly.

"Of course she knows. I can't hide it from her. The reason I came back this time is to discuss with you whether we could have a fake wedding. After all, it's just for outsiders to see. I'm often in the military, not frequently back home. No one can really monitor life in the military. Meanwhile, you and that guy can secretly be together. Even if it can't be out in the open, at least you can live peacefully, right?"

Han Longhu looked at the calm water; Lin Fan had just dived in.

More than ten minutes had passed without him resurfacing, which made Han Longhu a bit worried.

"This... I need to discuss it with him... After all, he's... already my man... If he agrees, I won't oppose it. And if necessary, I can personally explain to my sister-in-law."

Liu Lingfei was also looking at the water's surface, wondering how Lin Fan was doing.

"That guy's been underwater for over ten minutes; is he okay?"

Their marriage arrangement was secretly agreed upon just like that. Han Longhu curiously watched the lake, asking with some concern, "Should we call someone to rescue him?"

"No need; Lin Fan is very good with water, otherwise how do you think Han Peipei gave him the Golden Saber?"

Liu Lingfei leaned on the window sill, looking at the shimmering lake surface. Her words caused Han Longhu to furrow his brow slightly: "Now that it's come to this, you've known Peipei since childhood; you must realize how important that Golden Saber is to her. To give it to him proves how different he is in her eyes. Are you going to compete with Peipei for a man?"

"This..."

Liu Lingfei was immediately at a loss for words, knowing well the situation.

But she had always avoided thinking about it. Just then, the sound of helicopter blades from the sky indicated.

Han Peipei had returned.
