"You've misunderstood. We've already dissolved our engagement."

Gongsun Mengying was suddenly stunned.

"Young Master Li..."

“Miss Gongsun, the reason I invited you here today is to tell you that we are not destined to be together.”

“Back then, my grandfather arranged a marriage for me when I was a child. Although my fiancée is now nowhere to be found, I am still engaged. I have thought about it for a long time and feel that this is not fair to you.”

"So we've decided not to tarnish the reputation of your Gongsun family."

"How could this be considered sabotage?" Gongsun Mengying asked anxiously.

They want to use these in-laws to strengthen their power.

What does reputation have to do with it?

But she dared not speak, her aggrieved eyes revealing a vicious glint as she stared intently at the innocent-looking Xiao Wanwan.

Damn it.

If it weren't for that damned woman, her marriage would have gone smoothly.

"Young Master Li, I'm fine. As for reputation, I only care about the one I love in this life..."

"Besides my fiancée, I also have a white moonlight in my heart..." the man said calmly.

Originally, he wouldn't have said it out loud, but today he's a gentleman, how could he marry a vicious woman like Gongsun Mengying?

If he were to actually marry her, his lifelong reputation would likely be ruined by Gongsun Mengying.

Fortunately, this woman appeared; otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Gongsun Mengying had this side to her.

I must thank her properly tomorrow.

Xiao Wanwan's gaze was terrifyingly intense as she looked at the man, making him somewhat uncomfortable. He asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if my brother knows me?"

The man looked Xiao Wanwan up and down, nodding as he looked, but then shook his head.

Should I get to know you?

"No, I'm just asking."

It's good that you don't know me, hehe...

Gongsun Mengying gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Wanwan, wanting to get angry again, but she was afraid that it would damage her image in front of Young Master Li.

She tried to speak to Young Master Li, but he ignored her completely and only responded to Xiao Wanwan.

After Xiao Wanwan left, Gongsun Mengying was about to explain to Young Master Li, but the man completely ignored her and turned to leave in another direction.

Gongsun Mengying stood there, watching the two people leave, and stomped her feet in anger.

Seeing that something was wrong, the maid immediately ran over and asked, "Miss, what's going on? Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Young Master Li today?"

"Smack!"

Did I ask you to come over?

The maid covered her cheek, looking at Gongsun Mengying with fear, and tried to explain, "Miss..."

"Where is that woman from earlier? Bring her back to my manor!"

Damn it.

She won't be Gongsun Mengying unless she's thoroughly exposed!

In this lifetime, she is the second person I can't tolerate for even a second, someone I wish I could devour on the spot!

As for the other one...

She narrowed her eyes and walked down the path Xiao Wanwan had taken.

Now, let's talk about this side.

After saying goodbye to the man from Penglai Island, Xiao Wanwan grabbed Yao Qianshu and ran away immediately.

Then find an alleyway and immediately transform yourself, then restore Yao Qianshu's hair and clothes to their original state.

Yao Qianshu looked at Xiao Wanwan and silently withdrew his hand from hers.

"Sister, let's... keep our distance."

He doesn't want to die.

She brutally tore apart a loving couple; he was certain the enemy would arrive on the battlefield in five seconds.

Where is that woman?

No sooner had Yao Qianshu's thoughts settled than a sound that could give him nightmares came from outside the alleyway.

He was so frightened that he pushed Xiao Wanwan in front of him.

Gongsun Mengying stood at the alley entrance, whip in hand, hands on her hips, and asked her attendants and maids.

The maid looked around suspiciously, puzzled, and said, "I just saw it a moment ago, how come it's gone now?"

"There are two children over there. I'll go and ask them."

Upon seeing Xiao Wanwan and Yao Qianshu, the maidservant said something to Gongsun Mengying and then walked towards Xiao Wanwan.

Xiao Wanwan had already changed her clothes, and with someone's childlike innocence, she walked out like a seasoned pro.

"Child!"

As Xiao Wanwan and her maid passed each other, the maid blocked Xiao Wanwan's path, asking, "Have you seen a woman with a child?"

Xiao Wanwan looked left and right.

Then she pointed to herself, "Me!"

The maid gave her a disdainful look and said sarcastically, "I asked if you saw a girl of about sixteen years old with a little girl?"

Xiao Wanwan thought for a moment, then said, "No."

"I am a woman, and he is a man."

"But I heard the voices again."

"What's that voice?" Gongsun Mengying asked as she walked over.

Seeing Xiao Wanwan holding a candied hawthorn, he took a step back in disgust.

"I heard someone say that the marriage with the Gongsun family has fallen through~" Xiao Wanwan's voice was filled with undisguised excitement, as if she were announcing it through a megaphone.

"Sister, do you know anyone from the Gongsun family?"

"What does it mean if the wedding is called off? Does it mean you don't want her anymore?"

Gongsun Mengying shouted angrily, "You brat, say that again!"

"Oh, say it again? Okay."

"The marriage with the Gongsun family is off; no one else wants her."

"Is that how it's said, sister? Should I go outside and say it again over the loudspeaker...?"

Gongsun Mengying was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath.

The maid immediately comforted her, "Miss, this child is clearly not very bright. The most important thing for us now is to go back and explain things to the master as soon as possible."

"If Penglai Island strikes first, it might be disadvantageous for you."

Gongsun Mengying was furious.

There was nothing she could do. Her parents had gone to great lengths to arrange the marriage, and she wondered if they would be angry if they found out it was off.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"Let's go back!"

"yes."

The two continued talking as they walked.

"Once you get back, immediately send someone to find that woman. I won't be satisfied until I've skinned her alive and fed her to the wolves!"

"Yes, Miss."

Yao Qianshu said blankly, "Oh no, our good days are over."

"You're still alive, aren't you?" Xiao Wanwan looked up at Yao Qianshu, looking like an adult.

Yao Qianshu: "..." Is being alive the same as being able to live?!

The path you choose, you must walk it, even if you have to crawl on your knees!

I absolutely must never randomly adopt a younger sister again!

"Let's go..."

"Hey!"

Just then, a man appeared behind the two.

Yao Qianshu turned his head and glanced at it, his eyes widening in shock, "You...you...you..."

Xiao Wanwan turned her head to look.

Oh, so he's the eldest son of Penglai Island.

"I knew it! Those eyes looked so familiar. Zi Ling, isn't that you?"

Xiao Wanwan: "..."

Yao Qianshu reached out and shielded Xiao Wanwan behind him, his teeth chattering as he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"My sister...she...she's my sister...no one can bully her..."
