"Qiu Yuan, why did you hit the child?" Mother Lu called out and quickly gathered Lu Tian Tian in a tender embrace.
Seeing Tian Tian's flushed cheeks, Lu Qiu Yuan felt remorse. Yet, witnessing her silent demeanor reignited his anger.
"Lu Tian Tian, what were you trying to convey with today's words to Zhou Yi?"
Lu Qiu Yuan's words dripped with fury but striking her had calmed him considerably.
"I made it perfectly clear to Zhou Yi. This proposed marriage is invalid from start to finish. I will not marry him," Lu Tian Tian stated calmly, her eyes locked on Lu Qiu Yuan's.
"You…" Lu Qiu Yuan was so enraged by her words that his chest hurt. He struggled for breath and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Qiu Yuan, Qiu Yuan."
Mother Lu's face paled, she quickly moved forward, patting his chest.
"Dad." Lu Tian Tian was startled. Although she disliked how her father forced her to marry Zhou Yi, the sight of Lu Qiu Yuan this way made her deeply worried.
