Ye Sijue looked down and recalled what happened before he pa.s.sed out.

His voice as rough and dry as he said, "Annie… No, she is Mo Xiaomeng to me…"

"Annie. She…" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"Where is she now?" Ye Sijue sat up and looked around the room. He didn"t see the person that he wanted to see, and his expression darkened slightly.

Mu Xiaoxiao exchanged glances with Yin Shaojie. Then she told Ye Sijue the truth. "The dress has just been delivered and she is trying out the dress in the room."

With that said, the air seemed to get colder.

Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid of this type of mood.

And when she saw Ye Sijue"s expression, it didn"t seem fine. This was the first time that she had seen him with such an expression and she couldn"t bear it.

One of them was her close sister, and the other was a good friend whom she had known since she was young. What was she going to do about this!

There was silence for some time.

Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn"t help it anymore. "Ye Sijue! I don"t know why Annie would insist on getting engaged. She may have her difficulties, but I can tell that she likes you. If you do like her, then you have to fight for her! You can"t let her get engaged!"

She really didn"t want to see things go down like this.

The two clearly liked each other, why should they separate?

Yin Shaojie tugged at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that he wanted to stop her and she brushed his hand off and said angrily, "I know! William said that I can"t ruin this engagement, but I can"t stand this. I don"t understand. Even if the family is big, people don"t live for the family. One should live for oneself! Moreover, I don"t want to see Annie unhappy. They were really happy in China! Look at her now. Has she had a genuine laugh ever since she came back here? I don"t feel good watching this!"

Yin Shaojie tugged at her again.

Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily. "Stop tugging me! Of course, I know that this is an awkward position for me to be in. William is such a good friend to me and I shouldn"t be saying these things, but——"

She stared resolutely at Ye Sijue and asked him, "Ye Sijue, do you like Annie or not? If you have a heart that would do anything for her, then you won"t stand by and watch her go and get engaged with another guy!!"

She didn"t want to think about the misgivings or her responsibilities. She only knew that one should be together with the person that one liked so that they could build a life together.

Ye Sijue had an expressionless look as he stared at her.

"Xiaoxiao, if she had half of your bravery, that would be great," He said.

When he first met her, he felt that Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng had a lot of similarities, but the more they hung out with each other, the obvious it became that they were different.

Xiaomeng had a soft personality and tended to go along with others without expressing too much of her own opinions.

But Xiaoxiao was very independent and original in her thoughts and she abided by her own principles, doing the things that she wanted to do. No matter whether it was right or wrong, she wouldn"t be influenced by others.

That was the way that Mu Xiaoxiao was. You could say that she was willful. She only did what she wanted to do.

People should live freely and be at ease. There was not a single thing wrong with that.
