Chapter 466: The Stock God Account
The marriage between Li Qiao and Shang Yu was thus settled in the calm tone of Shang Zonghai.
It went too smoothly, which spawned a rather bizarre thought in Li Qiao’s mind, as if it didn’t matter to Shang Zonghai which of his sons she was engaged to—he seemed happy either way.
Even though just a few months ago, she and Shang Lu had called off their engagement, it appeared to him as though it was no big deal.
After dinner, Shang Zonghai and Mr. and Mrs. Li continued to chat in the rest area, while Li Qiao silently left Lan Hall and unwittingly found herself in the Green Garden of the backyard.
Dressed in a red gown, she stood amidst the lush greenery of the garden, gazing trance-like at a banana tree.
Footsteps approached from behind. Li Qiao didn’t turn around, and soon felt a warmth press against her back.
She remained standing, simply leaning back into the man’s embrace.
"Why did you come out here alone?" Shang Yu’s low, mellow voice seemed to bring a touch of coolness to the mid-summer air. He lowered his head to look at Li Qiao’s serene expression, unsure of what she was thinking.
Li Qiao silently sighed, resting the back of her head against his shoulder, her fingers twiddling with a banana leaf, "Just walking around and thinking about some things."
She actually felt like she was being controlled.
From the public announcement of her relationship with Shang Yu up to now, whether it was the attitude of her parents or of Shang Zonghai, everything seemed too much a matter of course.
