After that, she turned around to look at Nathaniel and asked, “I’m sure this is fine, right? You’ve got to
stop being such a control freak. Hesper is just your fiancée. She isn’t your wife yet…”
Dianthe pointed at the QR code on her phone and continued. “Hurry up and scan it, Hesper. I should
warn you about one thing though. You shouldn’t marry Nathaniel. He’s so possessive, and he’ll take
away all of your freedom as soon as you two get married… My God, just thinking about it is scary. Even
my dad doesn’t control me that much.”
Hesper scanned the QR code and lowered her head, trying to hold back a smile. She did not know who
gave Dianthe her name, but she felt that they had made the right choice. The name Dianthe meant
silent and gentle, and it was true that Dianthe should not speak that much.
“You haven’t stopped speaking from the moment you got here,” Nathanielmented, his eyebrows
tightly furrowed.
“Being able to speak for a long time without stopping is a special gift from heaven as well, don’t you
think?” Dianthe said while lifting her eyebrows. She leaned over and bumped Hesper’s shoulder. “What
do you think? Someone like him who always keeps a serious face won’t attract girls at all.”
Honestly, when Dianthe first came over with her group of friends, Hesper thought she was one of
Nathaniel’s pursuers. However, after talking to her, Hesper felt that Dianthe was there to tell her not to
marry Nathaniel.
However, she had to disagree with Dianthe. Nathaniel did not keep a serious face at all times.
“Alright, let’s stop fooling around,” Nathaniel said. He handed the umbre to Hesper and stood closer
to her. “Let’s go inside. The snow is getting heavier.”
“Oh, ho, ho, ho.”
Hesper hade across someone as enthusiastic as Dianthe before; Jessie was one of the examples.
Still, she could not help feeling a little embarrassed when it came to this situation.
“What about you? Are you not going in?” Hesper asked.
Nathaniel shook his head before stretching his arm forward to brush off the snow on Hesper’s hair. “I’m
not supposed toe to the banquet today. Help me send my regards to your grandfather. I’ll pay him
a visit some other day.”
“Alright.”
These actions were a bit too intimate, but Hesper knew Nathaniel was doing this because there were
other people watching. Despite that, she could not help feeling a little bit awkward. She waved her
hand and said, “Be careful on your way back.”
Nathaniel smiled and nodded. He leaned closer to Hesper and whispered into her ear, “Happy New
Year, Hesper.”
Just like Hesper, Dianthe also did not like this kind of asion. After entering the banquet
she lowered her face in dejection and pulled her face as if she had lost her loved ones. Gone was the
confident and assertive Dianthe..
Initially, Hesper felt a little bit ufortable at Dianthe’s enthusiasm, but when she saw her sitting in

the corner like a wilted nt with a piece of cake in her hand, she found her adorable.
“I don’t know what the point of this matchmaking session is,” Dianthe said. She forked the chocte
crumbs on her cake, looking somewhat dissatisfied. “Don’t you think so? They’re treating us like those
pedigree dogs that have reached the suitable mating age. They bring us out to seek a mate and force
us to get married against our wills.”
Hesper was speechless. This was the first time she heard someoneparing themselves to dogs.
She did not know why but she wanted to introduce Jessie to Dianthe. She had a feeling that they would
be able to get along very well with each other.
“Sigh, people like you who’re engaged wouldn’t understand,” Dianthe said dejectedly. Then, she
realized something and continued. “Hold on for a second. Why did Master Lane bring you here when
you already have a fiancé?”
Hesper felt a little bit guilty and shook her head. “I have no idea either.”
Dianthe did not dwell on it, continuing to poke at the piece of cake in the te that was out of shape.
