Seeing that Chu Xinyue had hung up the phone, Qin Ziling raised an eyebrow: "Do you believe it now?"
Chu Xinyue glared at him fiercely: "Don't be so smug! Just you wait!"
After saying that, she turned and went into the villa.
Qin Ziling smiled and then followed.
Ah Da and the others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stop him, because they had witnessed the whole thing and knew that this guy was not simple.
Inside the villa.
"Don't touch anything inside!"
Chu Xinyue knew that Qin Ziling had followed her in, and she said coldly with her back to him.
Qin Ziling ignored the young lady's threat, walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "I'm a guest, aren't I? Pour me a glass of water, my fiancée?"
Chu Xinyue, who was about to go upstairs, stumbled. She glared at Qin Ziling and said, "Don't you have hands? And don't call me fiancée, I haven't acknowledged it!"
Qin Ziling smiled faintly: "Alright then, Miss Chu, would you like to come down and have a chat?"
Chu Xinyue cursed inwardly, but after thinking for a moment, she still walked towards Qin Ziling.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Qin Ziling slowly poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked at her. However, his previous frivolity had vanished, replaced by calmness.
"You don't agree to this marriage either, right?"
Chu Xinyue was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Qin Ziling said calmly, "Actually, I didn't know about this marriage arrangement beforehand. So, I'm here to cancel it!"
"???"
Chu Xinyue felt her brain wasn't working properly. If the other party had come to annul the engagement, why didn't they say so earlier? And after seeing her, they still wanted to annul the engagement? Was it because this young lady wasn't charming enough?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Ziling continued, "Our marriage was arranged by our elders, which is what is called a childhood betrothal. It doesn't count. Since neither of us likes the other, we might as well call it off."
"Wait! You don't like me? Heh! What's wrong with me?" Chu Xinyue was no longer concerned about the marriage; her mind was filled with the other person's words.
Do you look down on yourself?
Damn it! What right does he have to look down on me? I'm always the one rejecting others, when did it become someone else's turn to look down on me?
Qin Ziling was also somewhat taken aback by her: "Miss, aren't you missing the point? Do you want to annul the engagement or not?"
Chu Xinyue said arrogantly, "Hmph! If anyone should break off the engagement, it should be me. What gives you the right to just say so?"
Qin Ziling was speechless. What difference did it make?
"Whatever you want, as long as the engagement is called off."
He returned from overseas and just wanted to live a peaceful life; the engagement was a constraint for him!
"Hey! Am I really that bad?" Chu Xinyue said with dissatisfaction.
She was, after all, the campus belle of Jianghai University, and her beauty was rarely matched in the entire university. So many men wanted to pursue her that they could fill an entire district of Jianghai!
Qin Ziling glanced at her and said, "You are indeed beautiful, but not everyone has to revolve around you. The reason I broke off the engagement is not because I look down on you, but because I don't want to be entangled in these mundane matters, understand?"
Chu Xinyue was taken aback, then fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that the other person's thoughts were somewhat similar to her own, and her gaze became complicated.
Just as the two were getting into a daze, a man and a woman suddenly walked in through the door.
"Dad? Mom?" Chu Xinyue asked upon seeing the two.
The visitors were Chu Xinyue's parents, Chu Renxiong and Lin Yufang.
Qin Ziling also stood up and greeted them: "Uncle Chu, Aunt Lin."
"Hey! You must be Ziling? It's been so many years, you've grown so handsome." Lin Yufang smiled as she looked Qin Ziling up and down.
"Haha! He is indeed a handsome man, just like your father," Chu Renxiong praised.
Qin Ziling smiled slightly: "You flatter me."
"Tch! It's really just average! What's so great about it?" Chu Xinyue said sourly from the side.
"How can you talk like that?" Lin Yufang glared at her daughter.
“That’s right! It’s Ziling’s first time visiting, can’t you treat him better? He’s your fiancé, after all!” Father Chu chimed in.
Chu Xinyue rolled her eyes: "You two didn't even ask for my opinion before making this marriage decision. That's unfair, isn't it?"
"Hehe, you had just learned to walk back then, do you understand what I mean?" Father Chu raised an eyebrow.
Chu Xinyue: "..."
A moment later, the group took their seats.
Chu's father poured Qin Ziling a cup of tea and said, "We learned about your situation from your aunt. You just returned from overseas, so you probably don't have a place to stay. From today onwards, you can stay here."
Before Qin Ziling could speak, Chu Xinyue protested vehemently: "No! I disagree!"
Lin's mother looked at her daughter with annoyance and said, "What are you doing, child? Ziling seems like a good guy. You two are definitely a good match. It would be convenient for you to stay here and get to know each other better."
"What feelings! Mom, don't talk nonsense. You two probably don't know, but he came here to break off the engagement!" Chu Xinyue couldn't stand her parents' matchmaking, so she decided to expose them directly.
"What?!"
These words immediately shocked the Chu couple.
Chu Renxiong frowned, then looked at Qin Ziling: "Ziling, can you explain this?"
Qin Ziling paused for a moment, then admitted, "Uncle Chu, Aunt Lin, to be honest, I did come here this time to call off this engagement."
"This..." The couple exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.
"This marriage was too sudden for both of us. It was like we had no choice in the matter. So, without a foundation of love, it won't end well," Qin Ziling explained.
Father Chu was somewhat displeased. He waved his hand and said, "Stop giving me this nonsense. Do you think I don't know you young people? Tell me honestly, do you look down on Xin Yue?"
Chu Xinyue: "..."
Qin Ziling said helplessly, "I didn't mean that, I..."
However, Chu's father raised his hand to interrupt again, looking at his wife and daughter: "You two go and cook."
Lin Yufang understood and pulled the reluctant Chu Xinyue towards the kitchen.
Before leaving, Chu Xinyue gave Qin Ziling a threatening look.
Chu Renxiong said to Qin Ziling, "Come with me."
With that, he got up and went upstairs.
Qin Ziling thought for a moment, then followed.
Second floor, study.
Qin Ziling closed the door and was about to turn around when suddenly a gust of wind attacked from behind.
Qin Ziling remained completely calm and immediately turned around to meet the attack with a punch!
bump!
With a muffled thud, a figure staggered backward, only stopping when he bumped into the coffee table.
The one who made the move was none other than Chu Renxiong!
"Uncle Chu, are you alright?"
Qin Ziling knew that the other party was only testing him, so he also reduced his strength.
Chu Renxiong shook his numb arm and looked at Qin Ziling with some complicated feelings: "You are indeed not simple. I never thought that you were also a martial arts practitioner!"
