Xie Li rarely smiled; at least in Pei Si's memory, she always had a calm, clear gaze and a curious look at everything.
This was the first time I'd seen Xie Li smile; her perfectly delicate face was beaming with a smile, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even the proud Pei Si had to admit that Xie Li was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen; in comparison, Ming Xiaoxiao's features seemed too plain.
A few minutes ago, he had considered that if Xie Li were willing to admit her mistake, he might be able to accept her.
But now that Xie Lizhen smiled at him, he felt no joy, only frustration.
Xie Li: "By the way, when are your parents coming back from their business trip? Today? Okay, then you should hurry home and discuss it with them."
"It's not impossible to wait another day," Xie Li added, "but you need to act quickly, lest things get complicated, understand?"
Even if Pei Si was arrogant and conceited, she had to admit that Xie Li was serious and she couldn't wait to break off the engagement.
Pei Si had been tripped by Xie Li in the grove, and now he was choked and punched. Coupled with his frustration, he felt pain all over his body.
Watching Xie Lihuan see him off, he couldn't help but ask, "If I hadn't resisted the engagement in the first place, would you still..."
"There are no ifs." A clear, melodious young voice rang out.
Pei Si then noticed that someone was standing at the entrance of the alley.
The young man was tall and slender, his face hidden in the shadows against the light, making it difficult to see clearly. But just by looking at his figure, one could sense that he came from a wealthy family.
"You don't deserve it, and you have absolutely no chance."
Even the marriage agreement was the result of my initial leniency; otherwise, would the Pei family have dared to compete with him for her?
Luo Zhihan stood there, her gaze towards Pei Si icy cold, a clear indication of his impending doom.
Pei Si felt a sudden tightness in his heart, as if something was about to leave him.
But before he could figure out that inexplicable feeling, he heard Xie Li say, "You're not thinking of backing out, are you?"
Xie Li clenched his fists, he was really irritable!
She quickly assessed the possibility of violence. The only inconvenience was that Luo Zhihan was there, and she couldn't very well hit someone in front of him; that would make her seem too violent.
Pei Si stiffened for a moment, then regained his arrogant demeanor as the school bully: "You're dreaming!"
Maintaining a bully-like expression that said "Don't touch me," he walked straight towards the alley entrance without looking to the side.
Luo Zhihan also walked towards Xie Li, and the two quickly passed each other. Pei Si forced himself not to look at what the other looked like, while Luo Zhihan completely ignored him.
Xie Li looked around awkwardly. This alley was the one connecting the shopping mall to the food street. The innermost part of the alley was filled with garbage cans, and it was dark, dirty, and smelly.
She always felt it was a desecration to have Luo Zhihan standing in such a place.
A handsome young man like Luo Zhihan, whose looks blur the lines between reality and fantasy, should live in a clean, luxurious villa, wearing the finest fabrics and eating the most precious food.
"Why are you here?" Xie Li greeted them and led them outside.
Even walking through such a dirty and chaotic alley, Luo Zhihan strolled leisurely, a faint smile always on her face.
"I happened to see you with Pei Si when I came out, so I just followed along to see what was going on."
Xie Li felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Did Luo Zhihan see her playing games so skillfully?
She used to hang out with Li Chen. She was young, and she had been involved in the underworld for a while.
