Chapter 169 Are you trying to use me as a shield?

Others were also surprised, but what surprised them was not that Tan Yu'an came, but what he said just now!

"Nuannuan brought it up?" Chu Xi asked in astonishment.

"Why was it Nuannuan who brought it up

?" "Yeah, wasn't the Bai family the first to promote the engagement?"

"It was obviously Nuannuan who took the initiative."

"Shouldn't you be the one who is dissatisfied with the marriage?"

Everyone asked in confusion.

Everyone knows that this was promoted by Bai Nuan's "cost", and Tan Yu'an's attitude towards her has always been lukewarm, no different from that towards other people.

Moreover, even at their engagement party, Tan Yu'an was cold and impatient towards her, and everyone saw it.

Now that the two have broken off the engagement, no matter who talks about it, they will think that it was Tan Yu'an who brought it up.

But Tan Yu'an actually said that it was Bai Nuan who proposed it!

"I made Nuan Nuan angry, so she proposed to break off the engagement. I tried to persuade her to stay but to no avail. I was wrong." Tan Yu'an looked at Bai Nuan and said.

When he saw the reactions of these women, his heart sank.

So everyone sees her like this?

Do they think that she is clinging to him and that she forced the marriage?

When she heard that they broke off the engagement, her first reaction was that he had abandoned her.

Tan Yu'an pursed his lips.

Yeah... no wonder everyone thinks so.

He almost forgot how he treated her before, but he remembered it now when he thought about it.

Cold, taciturn, impatient, and even without respect.

These people around him may not say it, but they see his attitude with their own eyes, and they don't know how they laugh at and ridicule her behind her back.

But Bai Nuan said nothing and was always very proactive and enthusiastic towards him.

Until... she herself gave up.

Chu Xi bit her lower lip, eyes full of disbelief.

How could Tan Yu'an talk to Bai Nuan like that! His tone, eyes, and the message in his words...

Could it be that he actually has feelings for Bai Nuan?

But how is this possible!

Didn't he always dislike her, or even hate her?

"Ah... So that's the case!"

"Then Nuan Nuan, you are too cruel. Tan Yu'an has tried to keep you, so just forgive him."

"How angry you are, you actually canceled the engagement directly! Nuan Nuan, do you want to reconsider it?"

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, at this moment they all persuaded Bai Nuan.

[Tan Yu'an... why do you say that? ]

Bai Nuan looked at Tan Yu'an with some complexity.

I have to say that his words are more effective than a hundred of my own.

If he doesn't speak, then no matter how she explains that it is a peaceful divorce, others will automatically think of a hundred ways that she was abandoned by Tan Yu'an.

"I... am not angry, we also want to part ways amicably." Bai Nuan forced a smile, "Although we are not engaged anymore, we are still friends."

"Nuannuan, have you thought about it? Tan Yu'an is very popular. If you really don't want him, he may be snatched away by someone else soon." Someone said with a smile.

It seems to be a joke, but in fact it is just a test.

"We have already broken off the engagement." Bai Nuan shook her head.

The engagement has been broken off, and of course it is none of their business whether a man or a woman gets married.

How can she care whether Tan Yu'an has a new love or not.

"Except for Nuannuan, I have no intention of getting engaged again. Thank you for your concern for me."

Tan Yu'an was depressed, but he still spoke.

Bai Nuan looked at him speechlessly.

[Why are you blaming me if you are not happy about the engagement? Are you using me as a shield? ]

[Good boy, can't you see that you are full of bad intentions! ]

Tan Yu'an twitched his lips, a little bit unable to bear it, and held Bai Nuan's hand, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Then he excused himself to the people around him and walked out of the crowd with her.

Everyone looked at the background of the two leaving, with different expressions.

"Don't mention it... they are quite a good match."

"I didn't expect that Tan Yu'an would fall in love with Bai Nuan."

"Maybe he's not attracted to her, but the two families have conflicts of interest."

"I think so too."

"Yes, this is the most likely possibility!"

Bai Nuan stopped only after being pulled outside by Tan Yu'an.

"What do you want? By the way, I have to ask you first, why did you say that in front of them, do you want to use me as a shield?"

She asked unhappily.

"Why can't what I said be true?" Tan Yu'an asked her back.

"How can it be true? Do you believe it yourself?" Bai Nuan was amused.

[What do you want me to believe? Believe that you don't want to be engaged to anyone else except me? ]

[Maybe you really don't want to be engaged again, but it's definitely not because of me. 】

【Either you want to focus on work and don't want to think about the relationship between men and women, or the male protagonist is destined to wait for the female protagonist to return. 】

Tan Yu'an had a lot to say, but when he saw Bai Nuan's disbelief, he felt powerless.

What could he say?

Even if he said it, she would definitely think he was lying.

Tan Yu'an felt helpless and a little self-blame.

He had hurt Bai Nuan like that, disappointed her countless times, and became a laughing stock in the eyes of so many people... No wonder she had completely lost confidence in herself.

Tell her now that he really only wants to get engaged or even married to her, and not to anyone else, including Xue Youyou.

Then she would definitely not believe it.

"Nuannuan, I won't get engaged to anyone else, no matter who it is." He looked into Bai Nuan's eyes and said.

Bai Nuan wanted to laugh, "Do you want to be a monk for the rest of your life?"

Tan Yu'an looked at her without saying anything.

Bai Nuan felt that his eyes were a little strange, and thought he was angry, so she waved her hands.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. If you really want to use me as a shield, then go ahead. Anyway, I just want to work now, I have no interest in love, and I'm not afraid that you will block my marriage. But let's make a deal, it can't be too long, because you have too many fans, and I don't want to be surrounded by enemies, it's annoying."

Tan Yu'an stared at her for a while, then hummed, "Okay."

At least she agreed that he would use her as a "shield", right?

And she also said that she only wanted to work and had no interest in love... That meant that although he might not have a chance, other men would have no chance either.

This seemed to be barely good news.

After negotiating with Tan Yu'an, Bai Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the banquet, Bai Nuan found that many people were secretly looking at her, and from time to time they gathered together to talk about something.

She knew these looks very well. Aren't they just the look of people eating melons? She herself looked like this when she heard other people's gossip.

Bai Nuan didn't take it seriously at all. If they wanted to eat melons, let them eat them. Anyway, the news of their divorce was officially announced.

There are so many people here, most of them are in the circle, and everyone should know it in two days.

Now, the matter of marriage has been cleared up, and next she can show her talents at work!
