Seeing her father and brothers looking ready to march to the Lu residence and kill Lu Shaoyuan, Shen Ningning stomped her foot in frustration.
"Father! Brother! And you, Second Brother! Third Brother! Second Uncle! What do you think you're doing?!"
She pressed her red lips together. "I genuinely want to marry Lu Shaoyuan. He didn't force me—I was the one who brought it up first."
Xie Ming'an simply couldn't handle the shock.
"Sister! You... you... this makes no sense! Even if you were to fall for someone, shouldn't it be the Crown Prince?"
His words struck a nerve. Shen Ningning's expression clouded over, and she turned away.
"You rotten Second Brother! You're only saying that because you think Lu Shaoyuan is inferior to you."
Xie Ming'an thought she was angry and hurried over to placate her. "That's not what I meant. It's just... this is all so sudden."
Xie Suzhi gazed at his daughter's form. "Ningning, do you truly understand what marriage means?"
