Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Elora remained silent for a moment before saying, “It's fine. I just forced myself." Tatum clearly didn't want to talk about it, and pressing him wouldn't help. If he wanted to say something, he would, without needing her to ask.

But the less he revealed, the more curious she became. She couldn't help but wonder who his fiancée was.

They hadn't even met, yet he was already protecting her.

That made Elora both envious and jealous.

For the first time in her life, she experienced jealousy.

It wasn't overwhelming, but she felt it nonetheless.

"Miss, that's not forcing yourself. It's just curiosity. Everyone gets curious. There's nothing strange about that," Tatum said gently. "Honestly, anyone who hears that my grandmother chose our fiancées in advance would be curious to know who they are. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Before Grandma showed us the photos, we had no idea she had started looking years ago. She doesn't care about distance-only character."

The third sister-in-law had married far from home. The fourth sister-in-law hadn't married in yet, but she would also be moving far away.
