The word "fanjian" is unpleasant to hear, but Xu Qingyun had heard it before.

The suitor's admirers often came to his door, aggressively demanding, "Do you have to be so pathetic as to steal someone else's boyfriend? Can't you live without a man?"

Xu Qingyun discovered that the words "being a jerk" sounded even more embarrassing coming from Ji Hanchen's mouth.

At six o'clock in the evening, Ji Hanchen returned to his ancestral home.

He was irritable and restless all day, his mind filled with the image of almost being kissed by that woman, Xu Jia.

Ji Hanchen was utterly disgusted, so he decided that the engagement had to be called off today!

"I want to call off the engagement."

Upon hearing this, Ji Huai's blood boiled, and he pointed at Ji Hanchen, cursing, "Shut up, you bastard! You want to break off the engagement, yet you're still embracing her..."

"You wanted to break Ji Lun's legs just because he hurt Xiao Yun. You don't like Xiao Yun, and..."

Ji Hanchen didn't hear what Ji Huai said after that, because Ji Huai's speech was slurred.

Ji Hanchen was startled and somewhat panicked. "What's going on?"

The butler said urgently, "Ninth Master, please don't upset the old master. The young master of the Bai family came to see him today, and the old master is showing signs of an impending stroke."

"If you still want the old master to get through this year, then agree to marry into the Xu family..."

"I see!"

Before the butler could finish speaking, Ji Hanchen immediately interrupted him and then turned and left.

A city overnight.

Lu Chuan and Shen Luo entered the private room together.

Seeing Ji Hanchen's extremely gloomy expression, Lu Chuan and Shen Luo exchanged glances.

"That bastard Jiang Xun didn't warn us," Lu Chuan muttered.

Shen Luo snorted coldly, "No need to ask, it's related to that little girl."

"Do you even need to tell me?" Lu Chuan retorted, sitting down next to Ji Hanchen and hooking his arm around his shoulder. "Old Ji, why are you drinking alone all by yourself?"

Ji Hanchen sneered, "It's nothing, I just had a sudden realization."

"Hey, tell me what you've figured out!" Lu Chuan asked with great interest.

Ji Hanchen downed the drink in his glass. "Forced relationships are never sweet. She's already decided to marry that scumbag, why should I be her lapdog?"

Lu Chuan's smile faded; it seemed the problem was quite serious.

Ji Hanchen poured himself another glass of wine. "I might be getting married soon."
