Chapter 771
"Take a look at this."
Ning Che raised his chin, and the maid handed the painting to the servant.
Ning Che was an excellent painter, especially skilled at painting people. With just a few strokes, he could capture the essence of a person, and with a little refinement, it would look as if that person were standing right in front of you.
Upon seeing the painting, the servant exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Young Master Wen? Miss, where have you seen him before?"
Hearing the servant's words, Ning Che's heart sank: "Are you sure this is really Wen Lang?"
The servant nodded: "I've been guarding outside his house for several days, there's absolutely no mistake!"
Ning Che's heart was completely dead.
She told the servant to leave, then buried her face in her hands and wept bitterly.
The maid, Aru, stepped forward and comforted her, "Miss, please... take it easy."
Ning Che looked at her with utter despair: "Is that how you comfort people?!"
Aru said innocently, "There's no other way now. Several days have passed, and my lord has been extremely busy with your affairs. At this critical juncture, how could I possibly back out?"
“That’s not necessarily true,” Ning Che’s eyes flashed with a glint of light. “The engagement caused such a big fuss back then, but it was still called off just like that, wasn’t it? The annulment of the engagement wasn’t as big a deal as the engagement, was it?”
Ning Qiwen didn't go through the trouble of sending out invitations to each family like he did for an engagement, did he?
"That's true..."
"That's right!" Ning Che clapped his hands. "I'm going to find my father right now!"
With that, Ning Che left excitedly, and Aru sighed and had no choice but to follow.

At this moment, Ning Qiwen was writing something at his desk in the study, and it seemed that he was already in the final stages.
"Father!"
Ning Che suddenly shouted, and Ning Qiwen paused, leaving an ink dot on the letter.
Veins bulged on Ning Qiwen's forehead.
As soon as Ning Che entered the study, he was met with Ning Qiwen's murderous gaze.
"You'd better have something important to do."
Otherwise, he would definitely beat her up to teach this girl a lesson and make sure she doesn't make noise in the study!
Ning Che realized he had done something wrong and gave an embarrassed smile.
She stepped forward and approached: "Father, how did things go with the annulment of the engagement?"
Ning Qiwen said irritably, "If you had come later, the annulment letter would have been written!"
As Ning Che got closer, he realized that the letter annulment was actually written by Ning Qiwen himself.
Her smile widened: "Wow, you wrote so much! It must be a hassle to rewrite it, right?"
Ning Qiwen couldn't help but look her up and down several times: "You little girl, what's wrong with you? What's the matter?"
Ning Che remained silent, looked around the study, then jogged over to make a cup of tea and brought it to Ning Qiwen.
Seeing that she still handed it over with both hands, Ning Qiwen took it with a lot of suspicion.
"Drink, Father."
Ning Qiwen then took a sip.
While Ning Qiwen was drinking tea, Ning Che said, "Then why don't we just not call off this marriage?"
"puff--"
The usually composed Lord Ning Qiwen suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea, spilling it all over the table.
Ning Che had never seen Ning Qiwen so excited before, and he was immediately stunned.
Ning Qiwen put down his teacup, coughed for a while, and then said, "What did you say?! You're not going to refund it?!"
Ning Che nodded reluctantly.
"Nonsense!"
Ning Qiwen slammed his teacup down: "You were the one who said you wanted to break off the engagement! Did you think this was a joke?! Now that I'm almost at my breaking point with them, you're saying you won't break it off. What exactly are you trying to do?!"
