Xu Miaoting's face grew increasingly grim as she listened. She forced a smile and pulled Lu Qingyan's hand away from hers: "That's all unnecessary. It's still far from certain. These matters are decided by the elders in the family. I can't interfere."
Lu Qingyan chuckled and said, "Sister Xu is joking with me again. You two have been engaged for so many years, how can you say that something is missing? Although not many people knew about it that time, it was still a formal engagement, so how can it be invalid?"
Xu Miaoting said awkwardly, "You seem to know all this very well."
"How could I not know? My sister is very interested, so naturally I have to find out. I've already prepared the gift!"
Xu Miaoting felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to this.
"You summoned me here today just to tell me this?"
"Yes, I just wanted to tell you in person that since you're unwilling, I've already let it go and just wanted to get along well with you in the future."
Hearing the phrase "get along well," Xu Miaoting felt a strange sense of dread, like the legendary heroines Ehuang and Nüying. Looking at Lu Qingyan's sweetly smiling face, she immediately fled in panic: "Since you told me, I...I understand. We can talk about anything else another time."
Looking at his back, Lu Qingyan noticed that he seemed more composed than before, suggesting that she had already made up her mind.
【Master, do you think he will give up on Nangong Ao this time?】 Su Han was a little incredulous that the male lead's appeal could be so weak.
"Most likely," Lu Qingyan said confidently, "the female lead's aura is stronger in these kinds of plots, and Xu Miaoting is already scared of me, so she'll definitely choose to stay away."
Sure enough, Lu Qingyan soon heard that the Xu family and the Nangong family had broken off their engagement and that the eldest daughter of the Xu family had gone abroad.
Many people have been discussing this, speculating why a promising relationship ended before it even began.
Some say that the young man from the Nangong family was blind and missed out on the pampered eldest daughter of the Xu family, choosing someone else who was inferior to the eldest daughter of the Xu family in every way.
Some say that the eldest daughter of the Xu family got used to living abroad and fell in love with the people there, so she looked down on the young man from the Nangong family. Otherwise, why would she have gone abroad after the engagement was broken off?
Neither of them guessed that the real reason was simply because their feelings weren't deep enough, and also because of someone's heartfelt confession.
Cui Shaoting introduced Lu Qingyan to everyone, but left that morning without taking her to meet his grandmother.
Everything was just like in the beginning; they were separate and busy with their own things, as if they had never met.
Sometimes Lu Qingyan would wonder if she had a dream in which that person appeared? Cui Shaoting and she had never met, and she had never sensed anything from him.
She worked hard there, and by the time university started, she had saved enough money to pay back the money she owed Nangong Ao.
When Lu Qingyan saw Nangong Ao again, he seemed much more mature. She could hardly believe that this was the same somewhat immature boy from before.
It seems that the battlefield is indeed a place to hone one's skills, and the same applies to the workplace.
He looked at the card in front of him and said with some emotion, "Actually, you don't need to pay me back. After all, I genuinely liked you back then, and spending a little money on you is nothing. Besides, you're not the kind of person who's unreasonable and always tries to get a lot of things from me. Giving it to you isn't a loss for me."
Lu Qingyan looked at him, but then she remembered the scene he had caused at the mall before.
