    🌷On the day Shen Shuning and Lu Tingxuan were to register their marriage, she was stood up. It turned out that his adopted half-sister had returned to the country. Only then did she realize that the man's first priority had never been her, but rather his beloved adopted sister. Lu Tingxuan's expression changed slightly as he looked at the woman who shouldn't have been there. "Shuning, didn't we agree to register our marriage another day?" Shen Shuning gently curled her lips, "We won't register. Our engagement is canceled, I'll grant your wish." Just when everyone thought this was nothing more than her playing hard to get, and that she would come back to beg for reconciliation like before after a few days, then at the family gathering, the mysterious and unpredictable Lu Siyan, the head of the Lu Group, casually put his arm around the woman's shoulder and publicly announced their relationship. A contemptuous smile played on his lips, "Nephew, this is my girlfriend, aren't you going to greet her?"
