The girl's mother sighed. "Oh, sweetie, don't dwell on it. No matter how poor that man is, he's married. Didn't you see? His wife is as beautiful as a fairy."
'And here her daughter was, twenty-two years old and still single. Sigh! What did I ever do to deserve this?'
"Mom, if there was a man that handsome and devoted, I'd marry him in a heartbeat. You can live on love alone."
"Actually, that childhood engagement your grandpa arranged isn't a bad deal. The way I see it, Xiao Zhang is handsome, his family is wealthy, and you two just have a verbal agreement."
Hearing her mother's words, the girl's expression faltered. A sharp pain shot through her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
"Mom... I knew we had an arranged engagement, so I've had a crush on him ever since I was little. But... but he fell in love with someone else."
At this, the young woman found it difficult to continue. She bit her lip and lowered her head.
