Why did she have to bring this up?!
She thought Jiang Yingchi would ignore her, but he didn't disappoint her at all: "Didn't you say you wouldn't admit it?"
“Me…” she choked.
"Since you don't acknowledge it, it will eventually be null and void. So, who my future Mrs. Jiang is has nothing to do with you."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Finally, Jiang Yingchi added, "It's just about putting yourself in someone else's shoes; everyone has their own principles."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
She was speechless for a moment, feeling as if something was blocking her chest, making her feel suffocated, but she didn't know what was blocking her chest.
However, what Jiang Yingchi just said is indeed reasonable.
But she felt very uncomfortable after hearing it. Little did she know, he was even more clean-cut than she was...
"I understand," she replied listlessly.
She had initially thought Jiang Yingchi was a good man, but it turned out she was mistaken. He didn't seem to care much about their engagement; breaking it off was as simple as dealing with a small matter for him.
Indeed, age difference is the biggest gap and barrier.
A mature and stable man would never waste his time on a girl who is almost ten years older than him. It's simply pointless.
"Why…"
I couldn't help but sigh.
However, since she had her back to Jiang Yingchi, she was unaware that Jiang Yingchi was staring intently at her through those gold-rimmed blue glasses.
Ning Qiluo secretly wondered to herself, "It was clearly her who didn't accept this marriage proposal, so how come now it's her who can't bear to part with it?"
She shouldn't be reluctant!
But there's one thing she needs to figure out!
He turned around again, and unexpectedly, his eyes met Jiang Yingchi's.
Ning Qiluo was stunned.
Was he watching her the whole time? Or did their eyes just happen to meet?
"What's wrong?" he asked preemptively.
His voice was cold and monotonous.
Ning Qiluo's words caught in her throat, unsure what to say. At that moment, his gaze returned to her, and he took a sip of champagne. Taking advantage of this moment, Ning Qiluo asked him, "Is it difficult for us to break off our engagement?"
“It’s not difficult,” he said.
When the conversation reached the words "not difficult," Ning Qiluo suddenly didn't want to ask anymore, but he insisted on telling her, "No need for a formal ceremony, just the presence of both sets of elders as witnesses..."
Ning Qiluo's hands clenched slowly, wanting him to stop talking.
But Jiang Yingchi continued, "Once both parties have personally declared the marriage contract invalid, that will suffice."
Ning Qiluo's clenched fist loosened again.
"Then we..."
"Can."
He understood what she meant, so he answered faster than she could, before she could even finish her sentence.
My heart feels sour and swollen.
Ning Qiluo didn't understand where this sour and swollen feeling came from.
Shouldn't she be happy? Joyful? Excited?
But I don't feel that way at all.
"You can tell me anytime you've made up your mind. If you want to annul the engagement as soon as possible, I can make arrangements..."
"I've been very busy lately."
She interrupted Jiang Yingchi with a single sentence, not wanting him to continue the topic, and said to him, "Let's talk about breaking off the engagement after I'm done with my work. Anyway, it doesn't affect me, and it shouldn't affect you either."
"meeting."
"..."
Every answer he gave was beyond Ning Qiluo's expectations.
It seemed as if he was even more eager than she was to break off the engagement.
