Realizing that Wan Ge had her reasons for not telling him, he understood: "So you don't love me either, right?"
Wan Ge laughed immediately: "So you love me? I do have feelings for you from when I was a child, but that doesn't mean I like you or love you. I didn't understand feelings when I met you, and we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so why should I love you?"
How could he possibly believe he loved him? They were both just kids when they met, and they haven't had any contact since. He was just there to fulfill a promise, not because he had always loved him.
"So you agreed to get engaged to me back then just because of a promise you made when you were little, that you were willing to get engaged to me even if you had no feelings for me?"
Wan Ge replied, "Whether you're engaged to someone or not doesn't matter. Besides, it's just an engagement, not a marriage. After all, there's no one in my memory who makes my heart flutter. If you're a good marriage prospect, then there's nothing wrong with that."
After all, she knew his family well. Regardless of what his parents might do, his grandmother was definitely good to her.
If Xi Jiangfeng hadn't fallen for someone else and was willing to marry her, and there were no conflicts between them, and she had never met Rong Shu before, perhaps marrying him would be a good choice, especially since they had a childhood friendship.
But all of this came to an end the moment Xi Jiangfeng misunderstood Shu Man.
Xi Jiangfeng gave a self-deprecating laugh. He had thought that the man's willingness to get engaged to him meant he liked him, but it turned out that he was the clown.
The reason the other person got engaged to her was because of a promise made when she was a child, and because they wanted to see if she was a worthy person.
"Now that we've returned the items, it's time for us to go. Goodbye."
In a cheerful mood, Wan Ge took Rong Shu's hand and left.
…
"Ah Feng! Where are you going?" Shu Man watched as Xi Jiangfeng, carrying a box in his arms, walked straight towards the door.
"I need some time to calm down and think about our relationship. Don't contact me during this period." Xi Jiangfeng's feelings were particularly complicated. It was impossible for him to have no feelings for Shu Man at all, so he needed time to cool down and think carefully about his current emotional situation.
"Don't you want me anymore?" Shu Man's tears fell one after another, but the person behind her never turned around, and she never received an answer, only a receding figure.
…
…
Back in Yunhua Bay, Rong Shu noticed that Wan Ge seemed to be in a very good mood: "Are you in such a good mood now that the engagement has been called off?"
Wan Ge looked at the flowers in the garden, which had begun to bloom. Although they were still a bit sparse because they were newly planted, they were already very beautiful.
"The flowers are so beautiful in bloom."
Rong Shu followed her gaze and looked over: "Yes, she is quite beautiful, but I'm talking to you about annulling the engagement."
Wan Ge turned to Rong Shu beside her and said, "So my mood is as beautiful as a flower. Besides, I've wanted to annul the engagement for a long time."
"When? Did you think about it a long time ago?"
Looking into his eyes, Wan Ge replied, "From the day I met you."
The day I met him, my heart began to waver, and after learning that he was a man, I became even more certain of this idea.
Before she had figured it out, Wan Ge had already thought about what would happen after the engagement was called off. However, she was worried that the two of them might have some trouble because of their different identities, and she wondered if Rong Shu would disagree.
But once she found out he was male, many problems could be easily solved, and she would have to call off the engagement sooner rather than later.
Rong Shu had never expected her to answer like that, so he was momentarily stunned. After a moment, he came to his senses and said very seriously, "You just said it was because of me? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Of course not." How could he think I was joking? Was I not serious enough?
Rong Shu was deeply shocked. Why would she say that? Could it be... "Do you like me?"
"Of course, when I first met you, I already felt that you were very different from everyone else."
I was smitten the moment we met.
"How could you like me? Do you even know what I...?" She liked him, but he...
Wan Ge looked at him with her beautiful eyes and held his hand tightly: "Shu Shu, have you been wearing women's clothes for so long that you've forgotten you're a boy? Or do you not like girls, or do you not like me?"
"You know all this!" Rong Shu pulled him into his arms again, startling him into thinking that Wan Ge liked women.
"Yes, I wanted to know when I wanted to live next to you."
"So you knew so early on, but you didn't tell me." Rong Shu felt inexplicably wronged: "Did you treat me the same way you treated Xi Jiangfeng?"
"Of course I didn't. The reason I didn't point it out was because I was waiting for you to confess, and also waiting for me to break off the engagement."
"Then what place do I hold in your heart?" Rong Shu was still eager to know.
Wange took his hand and placed it over her heart: "In my heart, you are the most important. Mom and Dad are important people from birth, but you are the one I chose, the most important person to me."
"You are also the most important person to me." Rong Shu hugged his beloved tightly.
…
Back in the living room, Wan Ge asked Rong Shu with a puzzled look, "Shu Shu, why do you like wearing women's clothes? Is it a hobby? Or is there a compelling reason?"
Rong Shu became a little nervous when she heard her ask this: "Don't you like it?"
Will she think it's strange for her boyfriend to dress like this? Will she dislike him because of that?
"Of course not, my Shushu can wear whatever she wants. I was just curious and wanted to ask you." When you like someone, you naturally don't care what they are like. Besides, Rong Shu is so beautiful that she is stunning even in women's clothes, so she naturally doesn't mind.
She just wanted to know the reason, to know if Rong Shu had any difficulties, or if it was just a hobby.
Rong Shu hugged the person sitting on her lap tightly again: "Actually, it's not that I like it, I'm just hiding from people. Dressed like this, they won't recognize me."
"Hiding from someone? Hiding from whom? Did he bully you?"
Rong Shu shook his head again: "It's not really bullying. It's just that my dad wants me to inherit the family business, but I don't want to... so I secretly ran away. I was afraid that if he found me, he would take me back to work, so I wore women's clothes so they couldn't find me."
"So that's how it is. But you don't want to inherit the family business. Have you told your father that?"
Rong Shu nodded: "I did tell him, but he disagreed. He wanted to take my mother on a trip, which is why he wanted me to go back and inherit the family business. But he has only been in charge of the family business for a few years."
It hasn't even been ten years! Before, he would either use dating as an excuse to refuse his grandfather, or say that he was too young to be without a father and thus refused his grandfather.
Later, when Rong Shu was about to graduate from elementary school, his grandfather finally took him to the company.
