Su Yijiu picked up the coffee cup and rubbed the cup's surface. A trace of daze flashed across her elegant face, and she paused for half a second before slowly saying, "I and Chenchen's father didn't come together because of love; it was due to a business alliance.

Through the marriage, turning the other into a family by marriage, both families were tightly bound together. The Su family only had me as a daughter, while the Si family, Si Chen's father was chosen to become my husband.
