The city of Beijing becomes a bit stuffy as soon as June comes. The air is filled with sultry air currents that seem to be able to suffocate people at any time and anywhere.
In the afternoon, apart from a few cars, there were hardly any pedestrians on the road. Even in the restaurant, the number of people was unusually small, but there were still some people sitting inside waiting for their meals.
In a private high-end restaurant with luxurious decoration and elegant atmosphere, Wen Ning leaned on the back of the chair, supported his chin, and looked at the man diagonally opposite him. The main thing was that this man was so pleasing to the eye.
A man and a woman sit opposite each other.
The man has a noble appearance and extraordinary temperament, and his outstanding status can be seen at a glance.
The woman is gentle and beautiful, and if you ignore the cold expressions on their faces at this moment, they are truly an enviable and well-matched couple.
The guests around were talking in low voices, and occasionally there were bursts of clear and pleasant piano sounds, caressing people's hearts like the gurgling of water.
The guests around them glanced at the strange couple from time to time.
"What are you looking at?" Her best friend Li Yang looked at her as if she was watching a show and turned her head to ask her in confusion.
She turned her head and saw a perfect couple. She turned back speechlessly. How come this best friend could never change her lecherous and gossipy heart?
"What a pity." Wen Ning said with some regret.
As soon as she took one look at them, she felt that the two of them were not destined to be together.
"What a shame, you big-headed fool! Stop speculating about other people's relationships, or you'll get beaten up." Li Yang followed her gaze, eyes filled with amazement and a sense of pity. Then, thinking that with her bestie's temper, she might be up to something more sinister, she whispered a warning. Their conversation was quiet, but in the relatively quiet environment, some of it still reached the man's ears. He raised his head slightly, glanced over, then casually lowered his gaze.
Seeing his nonchalant and indifferent look, the woman couldn't help but frowned in annoyance. She raised her voice and spoke in a light tone: "Did you hear what I said?"
"Well, what?" The man responded indifferently, which immediately aroused the woman's impatience.
"I say, cancel the engagement and don't interfere with each other. You marry your beautiful girl, and I marry my ideal husband. Do you hear me?" Although Ye Jingning was angry in his heart, he still repeated it.
To be honest, she still liked him very much. However, he had been so cold and indifferent for so many years, which made her feel that she was not really his fiancée, but just a marriage partner for official business. Instead of torturing each other like this, it would be better to break up. Fortunately, she had someone she liked, and someone who liked her.
Someone like him, who is naturally emotionally indifferent, is probably not going to be able to enjoy it.
"Oh, why?" Compared to the woman's angry words, the man seemed particularly calm, still looking as calm as if the sky was falling.
The man's name is Lu Shiyan. He is from the richest family in Beijing and is known as Master Lu. Everyone who sees him has to bow and nod. But now, he has been broken off from engagement?
The one who broke off the engagement with him was another wealthy family in Jinghua, the Ye family. This marriage was arranged a few years ago when the Ye family was in trouble. Old Master Ye asked the Lu family for it for the sake of the Ye Group. Now, they actually wanted to cancel the marriage with just a word. It was a nice thought.
But even though this marriage was begged for, Lu Shiyan didn't want to just do it so easily. This marriage wasn't his Ye family's thing. He couldn't just take it if he wanted it and throw it away if he wanted. How could such a good thing exist in the world? When he needed it, he would beg for it, and when he didn't, he would kick it away like garbage without even thinking about it. Who was he?
As for his Lu family, there has always been no reason for others to abandon it as long as he doesn't want it.
If anyone wants to retreat, he should do it.
Why does the Ye family always take advantage of everything?
"Why? Because I don't like you? Because I already have someone I like. Our engagement was discussed by our elders, not my own will. So, for our own good, I advise you to give up the idea of marrying me."
Ye Jingning frowned and spoke in an impatient tone.
Ye Jingning looked at the man in front of her. To be honest, apart from his somewhat cold temperament, his outstanding appearance was so pleasing to the eye that it was hard not to be moved, even though she had seen many. Unfortunately, she already had someone she liked. She came here to ask him to break off the engagement.
A few years ago, when she was fifteen years old, her family encountered a crisis and the group fell into difficulties. The Lu family extended a helping hand at that time. It was unknown what the process was, but in short, the result was that she married into the Lu family.
The Lu and Ye families also felt that there was nothing wrong with this. A marriage between the two families and a strong alliance would be the best thing. However, what they had not expected was that she had someone she liked last year.
She used to think that arranged marriages were unimportant, and she even had feelings for him secretly. However, he was too cold. When they were together, he always had a cold face, which made her feel that she was dispensable to him. She couldn't stand this atmosphere. When she thought about spending her whole life with him like this, she felt panic. But at this time, she happened to meet the person she loved most in her life, so she simply came clean and called off the engagement. She didn't want to let down the person she loved.
Anyway, the Ye family is now on the right track, and no one can easily touch her family.
So, she told him about this without telling her family. She originally thought that this matter would go smoothly. After all, he usually looked indifferent. He was the one who didn't care about this marriage, but he was unwilling to do it.
She forgot that even though he was unwilling, he didn't want to cancel the engagement just like that.
