'Even my Zen Heart is being tested. It seems beauty truly is a detriment to one's health.'
Lu Mingyuan mused internally. His gaze swept over her long, snow-white neck before landing on Yang Yingchan's flower-like face. He chuckled softly and said:
"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."
Yang Yingchan tilted her head, murmuring in reply, "Mm, Happy New Year to you too, Brother-in-law."
"I couldn't invite you to the great feast. You're not upset with me for that, are you, Sister-in-law?"
Lu Mingyuan said, his eyes bright and focused.
"I wouldn't dare..."
Yang Yingchan averted her gaze, not wanting Lu Mingyuan to see the bitterness in her eyes.
In truth, she was deeply disappointed that Lu Mingyuan hadn't invited her to the New Year's Eve dinner. She envied his large family, able to reunite for the new year, and him with his happy and blissful wife.
