Chapter 188 Leaving No Room for Maneuver
Liu Wanrong was stunned, her mind went blank, and a strong feeling of suffocation completely enveloped her.
This shouldn't be the case.
Even if Xiao Yunfeng was unwilling before, he would have considered her feelings. He had never done this before!
Li Xiuzhen and the people who had just started the commotion didn't even know how to react.
Qian Guangtao's face was tense as he stared at Xiao Yunfeng, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Xiao Yunfeng had just told him that he had no plans to get married, but he thought the kid was joking.
Only now did he realize that it wasn't a joke.
So they were wrong from beginning to end?!
Qian Guangtao knew Xiao Yunfeng all too well and knew that he had made a huge fool of himself this time.
But this joke has existed for so many years, yet it hasn't become a reality?
Zhuo Lanyu was probably the most relaxed of them all, her mocking gaze constantly shifting between Xiao Yunfeng and Liu Wanrong.
Although she didn't know Liu Wanrong, as a woman herself, she felt sorry for Liu Wanrong and her disgust for Xiao Yunfeng was several times stronger!
It's utterly despicable for a man to make a woman wait for years if he doesn't like her, and then reject her in such a public setting.
Su Jin's side was also completely silent.
She sighed inwardly; her worst fears had come true.
Xiao Yunfeng truly lives up to his name; he has absolutely no scruples when it comes to doing what he wants.
Guan An and the others stared wide-eyed, never expecting to witness such gossip!
The awkward and stiff atmosphere always needs someone to break it. As the host and the most respected person here, Qian Guangtao said in a deep voice, "Yunfeng, you're drunk."
He was fully aware of Xiao Yunfeng's intentions, but he still wanted to save face for Liu Wanrong.
If Xiao Yunfeng had remained silent, everyone could have easily let it go with a laugh and ended the topic that shouldn't have come up, but Xiao Yunfeng deliberately didn't.
"Liu Wanrong and I are just ordinary friends, and that will not change in the future."
He repeated it again with a blank expression, his tone so firm that it left no room for negotiation.
Clang!
Liu Wanrong suddenly stood up, the chair behind her making a jarring sound.
Her eyes were now bloodshot, filled with both shame and anger.
Even so, she still didn't say a harsh word to Xiao Yunfeng.
"Commander Qian, I'm sorry, I have to go back now!"
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her aggrieved appearance evoked sympathy from everyone present.
No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to stay there.
Before he could finish speaking, he turned and left.
Su Jin quickly stood up from her chair. "I'll go and try to talk to her!"
Guan An immediately pulled Qian Wei to his feet and said, "Let's go help too!"
Although Wu Mang and the others didn't know what was going on, they were sure that following Guan An was the right thing to do.
A group of people rushed out in a flurry.
The dining room quickly quieted down again.
What should have been a happy birthday party turned into an awkward and upsetting affair.
Qian Guangtao glared fiercely at Xiao Yunfeng.
It wasn't that I was angry that he ruined the atmosphere of the party, but that he was too heartless and acted without any sense of propriety.
Zhuo Lanyu's face was full of schadenfreude, wishing that Xiao Yunfeng's reputation would plummet.
"I originally wanted to treat everyone to a fun get-together, but I didn't expect to disappoint you all," Qian Guangtao said, as he picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The people at the dinner table tried their best to adjust their emotions and restore the atmosphere.
"Commander Qian, we'll have a drink with you."
The group resumed their toasts and drinks, as if the unpleasantness from just moments ago had never occurred.
Xiao Yunfeng absolutely excelled at this; others deliberately ignored it, but he genuinely seemed completely unconcerned.
