Chapter 443

Ji Hengchuan returned to his seat and continued working. After learning about Zhou Yu'an recently, Ji Hengchuan admitted that he quite admired him.

The fact that his fiancée loved Zhou Yu'an made him feel awkward whenever he saw Zhou Yu'an.

Just now, for example, he subconsciously didn't want Zhou Yu'an to know that he was there to see his fiancée.

Once the engagement is called off today, everything should be clear and everything will be fine.

Ji Hengchuan silently said to himself.

I checked my watch; 1 minute and 23 seconds had passed since our agreed time.

Ji Hengchuan frowned. If it were anyone else, he would have left long ago.

He disliked people who were not punctual the most. Although punctuality is a small matter, it can reveal a lot.

Thinking that everything would end today, Ji Hengchuan decided to wait patiently with a sullen face.

Finally, just as he was about to finish reading the documents in his hand, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Hengchuan suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that he had made an appointment to have dinner. He then checked his watch.

Arriving nearly 10 minutes late, he quickly packed up his notebook and said indifferently, "Come in!"

The door creaked open, and Ji Hengchuan looked up, his eyes immediately meeting the smiling, excited face of the waiter. The next second, his pupils contracted sharply, and he froze completely.

Behind the already pretty waitress, a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared.

The beautiful woman wore an elegant light green dress, which was very eye-catching.

The moment she entered, Ji Hengchuan felt as if his eyes had been suddenly brightened and the air was fresh and pleasant.

The beauty had skin as white as snow, hair as thick as woven fabric, a slender waist, and bright, expressive eyes.

Despite being dressed in the most modern attire and in a modern setting, she exuded an ethereal beauty, as if a fairy had descended to earth.

Her eyes sparkled, her steps were graceful, and every gesture she made exuded indescribable beauty, elegance, and noble refinement.

Ji Hengchuan was mesmerized, completely captivated. His heart pounded like thunder, as if it were about to burst from his chest.

Although he had little experience, he instantly realized that he had fallen in love.

The woman was exquisitely beautiful, unlike anything seen or heard of before. It was easy and natural for her to fall in love with the man at first sight.

Ji Hengchuan was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, desperately trying to calm his racing heart, but to no avail.

So this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone?

It can really make people lose their minds and become unable to control themselves.

Despite the obvious danger, Ji Hengchuan found it all quite enjoyable, even somewhat addictive.

While Ji Hengchuan was in a daze.

Rong Rong had already sat down opposite Ji Hengchuan, and in Rong Rong's opinion, Ji Hengchuan's image would be a 9 out of 10.

It wasn't that Ji Hengchuan wasn't handsome enough, but rather that Rong Rong had seen far too many exceptionally talented individuals.

But everyone has their own strengths. Ji Hengchuan's calm, responsible, trustworthy, and honest nature was quite admirable in Rong Rong's eyes.

An honest man, with a strong sense of asceticism.

“Mr. Ji,” Rong Rong called softly, tilting her head back to reveal a smile.

Although Ji Hengchuan was somewhat honest, he still exuded an imposing aura and was a formidable and unapproachable figure.

Rong Rong took a deep breath and said softly, "Thank you for taking care of my parents and for helping me before."

A while ago, I woke up and was busy with rehabilitation, my mood fluctuated wildly, and I was somewhat escaping reality.

Rong Rong lowered her head shyly, a look of disappointment and sadness flashing in her eyes. Ji Hengchuan felt a tightness in his heart, as if he were even more heartbroken than Rong Rong.

Ji Hengchuan wanted to do something to dispel Rong Rong's negative emotions, but Rong Rong continued talking.

“I’ve been afraid to go out and face the fact that I’ve been paralyzed for five years. I’ve kept myself cooped up at home and didn’t tell you that I had woken up in time. I’m sorry.”

Rong Rong admitted her mistake readily, and Ji Hengchuan did the same.

"It's alright." Ji Hengchuan smiled silently.

Before today, he was a little angry, but now, Ji Hengchuan felt that nothing mattered.

"Are you hungry? Why don't we eat first?" Ji Hengchuan suggested, gently brushing the matter aside.

Rong Rong's mood instantly brightened. Looking at the delicious dishes already laid out on the table, she unconsciously swallowed and nodded.

The cultivation world is great everywhere, except that it's bad if everyone doesn't eat. How can we waste delicious food? Although she had already stopped eating after starting her cultivation, Rong Rong was starving.

At this moment, Rong Rong stared at the table with shining eyes, not blinking, her greedy little cat-like expression making Ji Hengchuan laugh.

With Ji Hengchuan's magnetic chuckle, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

Rong Rong was enjoying the delicious food she had been craving, and she was so happy that she didn't even notice that Ji Hengchuan hadn't eaten anything the whole time, but had been taking care of her the whole time.

He cut her steak, served her dessert, and kept ordering food for her.

When Rong Rong once again naturally accepted the full glass of juice handed to her by Ji Hengchuan, and took a sip, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and froze on the spot.

Like a kitten belatedly realizing something, she bristled her fur and stared at Ji Hengchuan with her bright cat eyes, looking both dazed and embarrassed.

Ji Hengchuan laughed again, his voice full of doting affection.

Rong Rong blushed instantly. She put down her juice, sat up straight, and looked at the clean plate in front of Ji Hengchuan. The blush on her face deepened.

Rong Rong lowered her head in annoyance. She had come to discuss serious matters, but she had only focused on eating, and the other person hadn't even had a bite to eat, and hadn't said a single word about anything important.

How embarrassing.

Rong Rong tugged at her skirt, finally deciding to get things back on track.

"Um..." Her sweet voice hesitated, becoming even softer and more mellow, like the world's finest dessert, sending shivers down one's spine.

But Ji Hengchuan was not so easily swayed. He roughly guessed what Rong Rong was going to say, and his heart tightened suddenly.

Ji Hengchuan really didn't want to hear what Rong Rong was going to say next, but unfortunately Rong Rong couldn't hear his thoughts.

"I'm here to annul the engagement," Rong Rong said abruptly, followed by a suffocating silence.

Rong Rong felt uneasy, and it was a long time before Ji Hengchuan's voice finally rang out in the room.

"Why?" Ji Hengchuan asked calmly, though only he knew he was nearly crushing the cup in his hand. "You have someone you like?"

Ji Hengchuan had clearly come today to annul the engagement, but now he was asking Rong Rong why, and he had already given up the idea of ​​annuling the engagement the moment he saw Rong Rong.

So, is it really because of Zhou Yu'an that Rong Rong wanted to break off the engagement with him?

A huge sense of loss welled up in Ji Hengchuan's heart, and he was even a little scared. He was afraid of hearing a positive answer from Rong Rong.

Rong Rong also thought of Zhou Yu'an, the object of the original owner's affections.

However, that was someone the original owner liked, not someone she liked, so Rong Rong decisively replied, "No."

Ji Hengchuan's eyes lit up, and his face beamed with joy.

In just two short hours, Ji Hengchuan's mood fluctuated wildly, and he experienced emotions and feelings he had never felt before.

"Why is that?" Ji Hengchuan pressed on, his voice filled with an urgency he himself didn't realize.
