After seeing his mother leave, Yan Jingwen sat on a chair and said to Ye Shuning, "Shall we talk?"
Ye Shuning nodded without saying anything.
Yan Jingwen was a little surprised to see Ye Shuning so quiet and obedient.
He suppressed his disgust and said, "Ye Shuning, I know you want to live in the city, but given my current situation, it's impossible for me to go back to the city in the next few years.
Besides, I'm very busy with work and can't really take care of you. If you marry me, you'll just have to stay here. The conditions here are very difficult, so there's really no benefit in marrying me.
As for what you saw that day, all you saw was Xue Lili suddenly falling down and I helped her up. You don't need to pay attention to what Xue Lili said, because I don't like her at all."
Yan Jingwen still wanted to make a final effort, hoping that Ye Shuning could come to her senses and stop insisting on marrying him.
He continued, "Even if you don't marry me, I will still support you until you can earn a living. I won't ignore you. If you insist on marrying me, then you have no choice but to stay here."
Ye Shuning knew that what Yan Jingwen said about not liking Xue Lili was true. According to the plot in the book, even though Yan Jingwen no longer had the bond with the original owner, he did not marry Xue Lili, but married someone else.
Now that she is here, the situation will certainly not be the same as in the book, at least she will not marry Yan Jingwen.
Ye Shuning decided to make things clear with Yan Jingwen today. She raised her head and said seriously, "Yan Jingwen, I know you really don't want to marry me, but you have no choice. I also know you have resentment in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't leave me here and ignore me. I understand all this.
I also wanted to get rid of my uncle's family's schemes. I didn't want to exchange them for a dowry and marry a disabled person who was much older than me. I had no choice but to scheme against you. I want to say sorry to you here, and thank you for taking me away from my uncle's family.
Marriage should be based on love, otherwise neither party will be happy. Since you don't like me, then our engagement is over. I will give you freedom. Anyway, nothing really happened between us.
We have no relationship from now on. Marriage is irrelevant to each other. You don't have to give me living expenses anymore. I will leave when I feel better. I just need to stay here for a few days to recuperate and disturb you for a few more days.
Yan Jingwen was stunned when he heard Ye Shuning's words. In his mind, Ye Shuning would definitely hold on to him and force him to get married. How could she give up so easily? Was this another trick played by Ye Shuning?
Thinking of this, Yan Jingwen's face couldn't help but darken, and he said in a cold tone: "What tricks are you going to play again? I ask you to stop making trouble. My work is very important and busy. I don't have time to play around with you. I really can't give you the life you want. I hope you think it over carefully."
Ye Shuning didn't get angry after hearing Yan Jingwen's words, but continued calmly, "Yan Jingwen, I'm not kidding you, nor am I playing tricks. I've really thought it through. There's no love between us, and you only have resentment towards me. Such a marriage will only bring us both pain, not happiness.
You are a high-ranking intellectual, and I am just an orphan from the countryside. I am indeed not worthy of you, as your mother said. Fortunately, we are not married yet, and everything can still be saved. It is better to separate as soon as possible."
Yan Jingwen looked at Ye Shuning's calm face and asked uncertainly, "Have you really thought it through? Are you really willing to break off the engagement with me?"
Ye Shuning nodded firmly and said, "I've really thought it through. I will never bother you again. I will leave here as soon as possible and give you a peaceful life."
Yan Jingwen frowned at Ye Shuning's words. As far as he knew, Ye Shuning had no life skills and couldn't support herself. How would she survive after leaving him? Would she go back and accept the marriage arranged by her uncle?
Thinking of this, Yan Jingwen felt a little uncomfortable again, and he couldn't help but look at Ye Shuning.
He had never looked at Ye Shuning carefully before, but now he suddenly found that Ye Shuning's temperament had changed a lot. There was a deep light shining in her eyes, which seemed to contain infinite wisdom.
Yan Jingwen found this idea funny. Ye Shuning was just a little girl who hadn't even finished high school. How could she be so smart?
But he couldn't help but look into Ye Shuning's eyes. These eyes were indeed different.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Now these eyes have become impenetrable and beautiful.
Yan Jingwen suppressed his complicated emotions and said, "I brought you up, so I can't just ignore you. Even if we don't get married, I will still cover your living expenses until you are no longer able to support yourself."
Ye Shuning felt that Yan Jingwen was a good guy. At least he didn't push her away after hearing that they didn't need to get married.
But she would not accept Yan Jingwen's help. Since they were going to separate, they should break off completely and no longer have any involvement. This would be good for both of them.
She wants to be financially independent, be able to support herself, and not be bound by anyone.
In her previous life, she was busy with her career and did not get married and have children. In this life, she is not opposed to it, but she is not keen on it either. She will just go with the flow in the future. If she meets the right person, she will get married. If not, she will stay single.
Ye Shuning didn't want to talk more with Yan Jingwen about living expenses. Anyway, she would not contact Yan Jingwen again after she left here. Even if he wanted to send her money, he didn't know where to send it.
Seeing that Ye Shuning didn't say anything else, Yan Jingwen thought she agreed, so he didn't continue the topic.
Ye Shuning thought of the person who saved her and asked, "I wonder who saved me before?"
Yan Jingwen replied, "It was Li Shaozhong who saved you. He happened to be looking for me, and when he heard that you had run away, he followed me to look for you. In the end, he found you and carried you back.
"What happened yesterday was too dangerous. You must never run around again. It's still very cold now. What if you faint outside and get frozen or encounter a wild animal?"
Ye Shuning nodded. It turned out that the tall figure she saw before fainting was Li Shaozhong.
Li Shaozhong also gets a lot of attention in the book. He was Yan Jingwen's childhood friend and a close friend. Even more remarkable than Yan Jingwen, Li Shaozhong was considered a genius from a young age, achieving academic success at a young age and possessing exceptional abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been entrusted with such important tasks at such a young age.
This oil field had just been confirmed for exploitation, and construction of facilities had begun. Li Shaozhong was the technical director for the oil field. He would become a high-ranking figure in the future.
Unexpectedly, she was rescued by a future big boss.
