Chapter 686 Do You Regret It?
When Li Jinxing said this, he loosened his grip on her wrist, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and there was a bit more disappointment in his eyes when he looked at her.
"It's all my fault for being too self-righteous. I forced our relationship forward and forced you to accept it..."
Li Jinxing sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I never asked you what you really think deep down in your heart. It's my fault..."
Nie Yao was slightly stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrong. She never expected that he would think so, but his disappointed look and wry smile told her that she had not heard it wrong!
Before Li Jinxing could finish, Nie Yao started to defend herself without hesitation: "I wasn't forced to do this! Li Jinxing, you misunderstood..."
Li Jinxing put his finger on her mouth and made a "hush" gesture, whispering, "This time, my eldest brother used the heirloom to force you to agree to the engagement. In the final analysis, I shouldn't have involved you in this heirloom matter and put you in such a dilemma!"
"Li Jinxing, what are you talking about?" Nie Yao frowned slightly. Maybe she didn't think about getting engaged so soon at the beginning, but she was not forced by the eldest brother of the Li family, nor was she in a dilemma!
"It's true that it was your eldest brother who first proposed our engagement, but what does it have to do with your Li family's heirloom?"
"That heirloom has always been in my eldest brother's hands. I know you're just as anxious as I am to get it back from him and take it back to Egypt, but my eldest brother is stubborn..."
Li Jinxing sighed softly as he said this: "Now the key to the heirloom is back in my hands. If you regret our engagement, I won't blame you. Tomorrow we will leave Li Garden and fly to Egypt, so..."
Before Li Jinxing could finish, Nie Yao interrupted him with a mixture of anger and amusement. She stared at him with wide eyes and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Li Jinxing, when did I ever say I regretted it? Do you think I agreed to be engaged to you so I could steal your family heirloom from your eldest brother?"
"Yaoyao, I know you are trying to help me find out the secret behind this..." Li Jinxing wanted to explain, but Nie Yao was so angry that she didn't want to listen anymore.
"Enough!" Nie Yao waved her hands, her face darkening as she sneered, "When your eldest brother misunderstood me, I always thought he didn't understand me well enough. I firmly believed that time would reveal a person's true character, and he would know what kind of person I am. But now it seems that even you don't understand me at all!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, she sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "You're right. From the beginning until now, we've progressed too quickly and don't know each other well enough!"
"Yaoyao..." Li Jinxing wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them. His intuition told him that she was really angry this time!
But that wasn't what he meant at all, and he had never misunderstood her like his elder brother did. She was with him for the heirloom, and to be able to apply for an independent archaeological team...
"Li Jinxing, what we need is to calm down and think about how our future should go..."
Li Jinxing wanted to explain, but after hearing her words, he swallowed them back, subconsciously clenched his fists, and said in a somewhat awkward tone: "Yaoyao, are you going to break up with me..."
