“Calm down, how do you expect me to stay calm now?” Huangfu Ruixiang yelled at Zhong Yating, “You’ve been using this so-called information to manipulate me, and now you’re telling me that you only know a tiny bit. Zhong Yating, do you really think that the little information you have is worth me marrying you?”
He felt like he was about to explode. If not for the sliver of reason left, he might have strangled Zhong Yating by now.
“How can you say that?” Zhong Yating said with a touch of sadness, “l dare say, besides me, you wouldn’t have found this information anywhere else.
Moreover, our engagement was consensual. I’ve never deceived you.”
“You still claim you didn’t deceive me?” Huangfu Ruixiang was ready to burst.
“With your so-called news that hardly qualifies as news, you’re forcing me into marriage. Zhong Yating, how shameless can you be?”
He regretted it deeply. If he had known Zhong Yating was playing him, he would never have agreed to the engagement. Though not officially married, they had a grand engagement ceremony, known to many in the Huangfu family.
“Ruixiang, how can you say that about me?” Zhong Yating accused, “Moreover, you were merely curious about Huangfu Ruiling’s status in the family. Haven’t I told you everything now? How is that deceit?”
“Zhong Yating, you know exactly what 1 mean!” Huangfu Ruixiang pointed at her with frustration. “Let me make it clear, our engagement is off. In a few days, I’ll discuss canceling this engagement with my parents. Also, don’t claim the title of my fiancée within the family. I won’t acknowledge it.”
Since Zhong Yating had deceived him, there was no point in upholding the engagement. He never intended to marry her anyway. Now was the opportune moment to end it.
“Impossible, I won’t agree.” Zhong Yating panicked, pulling on Huangfu Ruixiangs sleeve. “Ruixiang, we’re already engaged. I must marry you. Marriage is no joke; I won’t consent to calling it off.”
Huangfu Ruixiang shook off her hand coldly. “I’m not negotiating; I’m informing. We’re done. Leave.”
“Ruixiang, you can’t treat me like this.” Zhong Yating was desperate, “We’re engaged, and I’m already yours. How can you break it off?”
Not long after the engagement, they had been intimate. She feared Huangfu Ruixiang would back out, so she wouldn’t let him abandon her now.
Hearing Zhong Yatings direct words, Huangfu Ruixiangs face changed. Back then, she willingly came to him, and they were engaged. He hadn’t resisted much, and they ended up sleeping together.
Who would have thought Zhong Yating would say such things now? “Zhong Yating, don’t act like some virtuous woman.”
Collecting himself, Huangfu Ruixiang continued with disdain, “What happened between us was mutual.”
“Our engagement was also mutual!” Zhong Yating retorted, “So, you can’t cancel it now. I’ve kept my promise, telling you everything. You can’t burn the bridge after crossing it, right?”
It had come to this; she couldn’t lose the title of Huangfu Ruixiangs fiancée.
Moreover, she would be his wife in the future.
“Zhong Yating, you…” Anxious, Huangfu Ruixiang said, “Don’t force me. 1 was deceived from the start. Dreaming of entering our Huangfu family with such a lie.’
“Ruixiang, since we’re engaged, and I’m already yours, I won’t agree to cancel the engagement,” Zhong Yating said firmly. “If you want to abandon me, I won’t sit idly.”
“Zhong Yating, what do you mean?” Huangfu Ruixiang narrowed his eyes with vigilance. “l won’t let you get away with any tricks.”
“At this point, do you think I have anything left to fear?” Zhong Yatings face held a sarcastic smile. “My fiancé wants to cancel the engagement for no reason. Do you expect me to accept it calmly? You overestimate me.”
“I’m not doing this for no reason.” Huangfu Ruixiang gritted his teeth. “If you hadn’t lied, I wouldn’t have engaged you. Canceling the engagement is your fault. ”
“Do you dare to tell others the real reason?” Zhong Yating asked directly. “Tell them you engaged me to find out Huangfu Ruilings true status in the
Huangfu family. Then, to gain more benefits, you planned to use Huangfu
Ruiling in our family. Do you dare? If you do, I’ll spread it all, including to
Huangfu Ruiling. Let everyone know your intentions.”
“Shut up.”
Zhong Yatings words seemed to expose Huangfu Ruixiang’s shameful thoughts, making him irritable. He couldn’t control himself, advancing and slapping Zhong Yating.
A loud smack silenced the room.
For a while, neither Huangfu Ruixiang nor Zhong Yating spoke..
