Upon hearing this, Qin Feng turned to look at Liu Ruyan. He had been thinking about when to go and discuss the marriage agreement with this woman, but he never expected that she would take the initiative to come to him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took out the marriage certificate from his storage ring and threw it over.

Liu Ruyan was taken aback when she received the marriage certificate, and then she opened it and began to read it.

"I'm returning the marriage certificate to you. We have nothing more to do with each other!"

Qin Feng glanced at Liu Ruyan, then walked to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Once Liu Ruyan confirmed that the marriage certificate was genuine, her face turned extremely pale; she had actually been jilted.

She found it hard to accept this outcome.

From childhood to adulthood, she was a favored daughter of heaven, with countless suitors.

But now, she has been dumped by a man without any mercy.

She took a deep breath, strode up to Qin Feng, and looked down at him. "I do not agree to annul the engagement!"

Qin Feng chuckled. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Do you remember how arrogant you were when we first met?"

"And what's this about a pheasant not being good enough for a phoenix?"

What's wrong with you now? Are you planning to cling to me?

Liu Ruyan's face turned ashen. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "That's right, I'm going to stick with you!"

Qin Feng replied with "You're crazy" and then ignored Liu Ruyan.

Seeing that he has become outstanding, she no longer wants to break off the engagement and wants to cling to him. How could he possibly want such a materialistic woman?

Liu Ruyan was furious at Qin Feng's attitude. As the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she had never suffered such humiliation.

But she could only endure it; the man in front of her was not one to show mercy to women.

If she dares to cause trouble, she might get a beating.

She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Do you still want the phoenix-shaped jade pendant?"

"Well"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, then said, "I almost forgot about that!"

"Now that our engagement has been dissolved, you should return the phoenix-shaped jade pendant to me!"

Liu Ruyan sneered. "You're dreaming!"

"Unless you are willing to marry me, I will never give you the phoenix-shaped jade pendant, even if it means my death."

Qin Feng slowly stood up, looking at Liu Ruyan with a half-smile. "Do you think you can keep what I want?"

Liu Ruyan remained calm and looked directly at Qin Feng. "I didn't bring the phoenix-shaped jade pendant with me; I hid it!"

Qin Feng chuckled. "My hypnosis is very powerful; I can control you to tell the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange red light flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, and he planned to use the Soul-Capturing Technique to control Liu Ruyan.

However, the result stunned him; the Soul-Seizing Technique was still ineffective.

"Could this woman be lying? The phoenix-shaped jade pendant is on her."

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Liu Ruyan scoffed. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Isn't your hypnosis skill supposed to be amazing? How come I'm perfectly fine now?"

His eyes were full of disdain.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, his eyes darting around as he searched for Liu Ruyan, but the result left him greatly disappointed.

Liu Ruyan did not carry the phoenix-shaped jade pendant with her.

Without the protection of the phoenix-shaped jade pendant, how could Liu Ruyan be immune to the Soul-Capturing Technique?

Liu Ruyan felt a little guilty under Qin Feng's gaze. In fact, she hadn't hidden the phoenix-shaped jade pendant; it had simply disappeared.

A week ago, she accidentally fell and hit her head, losing consciousness. When she woke up in the hospital, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant was gone.

"You...you shouldn't look at me like that, it's creepy!"

Qin Feng was somewhat helpless. The Soul-Capturing Technique was ineffective against Liu Ruyan. He couldn't very well resort to force, could he?

"Hey, as long as you return the phoenix-shaped jade pendant to me, I can grant you one request besides marrying you."

Liu Ruyan felt like she was going to vomit blood. Just how much did this guy despise her?

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and said expressionlessly.

“If you help me get the old town development project, I will return the phoenix-shaped jade pendant to you.”

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "Let me change my request. I don't really want to get involved in this!"

There are countless forces eyeing this project now, and getting involved will likely cause a lot of trouble.

Liu Ruyan said firmly, "I only have this one request. If you can't do it, then marry me!"

Qin Feng was speechless. With Liu Ruyan's qualifications, she wasn't someone who couldn't get married, so why was she bothering him?

He pondered for a moment, then said, "You only want this project because of the ancient tomb beneath the old city; there's no need for you to absolutely need it."

"If you trust me, don't get involved yet, just wait to be the one who reaps the benefits."

Liu Ruyan frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded. "What you said makes sense, I'll listen to you!"

"Then I'll change my request: when the ancient tomb is discovered, you must help me get a share of the spoils."

Qin Feng nodded. "Okay!"

Seeing that Qin Feng had agreed, Liu Ruyan relaxed and immediately changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, my mom wants you to come home for dinner tonight. She has something to discuss with you!"

Qin Feng was taken aback. "What could she possibly want to discuss with me?"

He had a very bad impression of Meng Qiuyu, and if it weren't for the matter of the spiritual spring, he would have been very unwilling to see that old woman.

Liu Ruyan said speechlessly, "Isn't it because you inexplicably stayed at my house for two days? It forced me to lie and say that we had a relationship."

“She found out by chance a few days ago that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of Fengqing Group, and she has already treated you like her own son-in-law. She keeps asking to see you every day.”

“If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have come to you long ago.”

"If I'm not mistaken, she probably wants to discuss our marriage with you."

Qin Feng retorted, "Your mom's really pragmatic. She used to be just like you, doing all sorts of things..."

"Stop!" Liu Ruyan said, her face dark. "Can we please not bring this up again?"

"No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. I already know that I was wrong."

"Please don't bring it up again, okay?"

Qin Feng curled his lip, thinking to himself, "If I didn't have some skills, would you even know you were wrong?"

However, he only thought these words to himself and did not intend to say them aloud, otherwise he might anger Liu Ruyan to the point of vomiting blood.

"There's no need to discuss this. There's no way I'll marry you."

Liu Ruyan was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

If you're not going to marry me, then so be it. Do you have to keep saying it?

She took another deep breath and said coldly, "You don't have to go, but I can't guarantee my mother won't come looking for you."

"My mom just wants you to be her son-in-law. I believe you won't treat her rudely, right?"

Qin Feng was annoyed. What was going on? How did he get stuck with this situation?

He hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, I'll go and explain to your mother tonight."

If he doesn't agree, Meng Qiuyu will definitely not give up easily and will definitely come to his door to pester him.

Rather than getting entangled, it's better to clarify things as soon as possible.

Seeing that Qin Feng had agreed, Liu Ruyan was very unhappy, but she didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
