Gong Chengjue had already turned around, taken his phone, and walked far away.

Five minutes!

For a full five minutes, he didn't call back. Su Ziqing stared at her phone screen, feeling sullen.

With his uncle, and then Zhou Ruoling?

What does this mean? 'Family'?

The phone finally rang, and Su Ziqing, still sulking, was a little reluctant to answer, but in the end she picked up anyway, "Hello."

Her voice sounded muffled; even a fool could tell that she was angry.

It's not very kind of him, but... what if he really likes her angry tone?

"Ziqing, tonight's gathering is a gathering of both families, don't misunderstand," Gong Chengjue explained.

But these words only made Su Ziqing misunderstand even more. "Both families... Oh, then I wish you a happy gathering. I'm busy now, so I'll have to go later."

Gong Chengjue: "..." Although he didn't know why she was even angrier, his survival instinct was still strong. "I will sever ties with Miss Zhou in a moment."

Su Ziqing, who was about to hang up, was taken aback by these words. "What?"

Didn't they say it would take at least a month?

Why so suddenly?

Gong Chengjue didn't hide it from her, "The Zhou family suddenly wants to confirm the engagement, and I don't plan to agree." Even if it's fake, once the engagement is finalized, it will seem real to others.

That's why he's been putting it off.

"The Zhou family wants to get engaged..." Su Ziqing paused for a moment, then continued, "If you don't agree now, will there be any bad consequences?"
