Chapter 456: Chapter 456 The Wedding Date is Approaching

In a corner invisible to everyone, a cold and indifferent voice sounded, "What’s so fascinating?"

"I thought you couldn’t speak," Tao Hua raised an eyebrow but wasn’t startled by his sudden voice.

"I only speak when I want to," the tone was cool and arrogant.

Tao Hua shrugged and continued with a smile, "I’ve come across two very interesting pieces of information, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"

"I hate multiple-choice questions, tell me both!"

Tao Hua was just as cool, saying coolly, "I’ll only tell one."

The person in the dark fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Then tell the bad news."

After all, good news will stay good even if it’s not heard, but bad news could get worse if it’s ignored.

A hint of triumph flashed in Tao Hua’s eyes; he knew he would choose to hear the bad news.

He leaned into Rong Shaoze’s ear and whispered, "I heard your woman has gotten cozy with another man. If you don’t wake up soon, they’ll probably be married and have kids."

The person in the dark: "..."

Is this really bad news? It has nothing to do with him!

Having said what he wanted to say, Tao Hua laughed heartily, reveling in a bit of schadenfreude.

"Hey, do you still want to hear the good news?" he asked, addressing the person in the darkness.

"I don’t want to hear it!" Probably another piece of unsubstantial news, he didn’t have time to listen to gossip.

"Forget it if you don’t want to listen." Tao Hua packed up and left, without revealing the good news he had learned.

Qiao Yiyang made time every day to ask Lin Xinlan out, either to eat, watch a movie, take a walk, go for a drive, or play at some entertainment venues.

Lin Xinlan never declined, playing the role of a girlfriend perfectly.

Since the day Qiao Yiyang had kissed her, he hadn’t kissed her again. They only held hands, hugged, and shared the occasional goodnight kiss.

Thanks to his consideration, Lin Xinlan was much more relaxed, but her heart remained as calm as a lake, without a single ripple.

Qiao Yiyang wasn’t in a rush; after all, he had plenty of time to slowly influence her.

Moreover, he quite enjoyed the process of two hearts slowly drawing closer.

His emotions underwent subtle changes every day, and he liked this novelty, something he had never experienced before.

But the one experiencing the subtle emotional changes was him alone; he could never quite penetrate what was truly going on in Lin Xinlan’s heart.

He guessed that perhaps her feelings for him had changed a bit as well.

As time passed, more than half a month slipped away, and the wedding day was getting closer.

Lin Xinlan wasn’t nonchalant, but she knew that if Rong Shaoze didn’t appear, she would have to get married unwillingly.

Therefore, she became detached, letting fate take its course.

Almost everyone knew that she and Qiao Yiyang were seeing each other. Rong Guangguo just looked at her deeply without saying anything.

Mother Rong’s attitude towards her became somewhat colder, and she seldom spoke to her.

She was even concerned that Lin Xinlan would take Xiaocong with her when she got married, so she spent every day playing with the child, wanting to build a bond with him.

Even without a mother, there would at least be something for him to cling to here.

Xiaocong remained well-behaved every day, reciprocating kindness with kindness.

Apart from being especially clingy to Lin Xinlan, his attitude towards others was always limited to being well-behaved and sensible, never too intimate.

Mother Rong’s concern deepened—what if Xiaocong didn’t like her, and once Lin Xinlan was married, he wouldn’t want to stay in this home.
