Chapter 23: Xu Junxi, Let’s Call Off Our Engagent
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ning Qing walked out of the house and heard an exasperated voice from behind, “Ning Qing, stand there!”
Ning Qing stood strong and turned around. Xu Junxi was pale with rage. She humiliated Ning Yao and he should be burning with anger. He was probably there to vent his spleen on behalf of Ning Yao.
Xu Junxi was really angry but it was a Ning family affair earlier so it was inconvenient for him to make any comnts. However, he saw how she sarcastic she was with his own eyes. Ning Yao could only cry when she was bullied, why did Ning Qing beco so wicked?
“Ning Qing, why did you humiliate Aunt Li and Yaoyao? I said I fell in love with Yaoyao first. For the past three years when she was in the States, she’d kept rejecting . I was the one who flew over to see her every ti. She loves too. She bears patiently and stayed hidden until now for you. How could you treat such a pure and innocent girl so cruelly?”
Ning Qing wanted to laugh, and she did let out a chuckle. Cruel? He used the adjective on her! Ning Yao, pure and innocent?
She could tell that Xu Junxi was totally blinded. Ning Yao only went to the States three years ago after the engagent was fixed.
If Ning Yao didn’t go to the States, how could she pretend to be a holy lotus? If she didn’t go to the States, how could she play tricks and tempt him to the States over and over again?
Ning Qing found herself ridiculous. Three years ago, when she and Xu Junxi got engaged, she and her mother got kicked out very soon thereafter. She had been to Xu’s once, which was the ti when Xu Junxi’s mother humiliated her. He was cold to her, and by virtue she didn’t want to attach herself to him and be accused of rely seeking connection with the rich and powerful. Hence, they spent very little ti together for the past three years.
She never thought that when she was earning money to take care of her mother, Xu Junxi flew to the States to date Ning Yao. He was just sleeping with a young model a few days back.
Was he still the boy that was warm and shy in her mory?
Ning Qing stood straight and smiled faintly, “If I wasn’t wicked, how could Ning Yao’s innocence stand out so boldly? Leave alone. It’s great that you’re living well. I’ll clap to congratulate the pairing of the prince and the princess. You are a good match.”
“You!” Xu Junxi clenched his fists as his chest billowed up and down. He looked at Ning Qing who was looking at everything so lightly.
What did she an? Shouldn’t she be explaining and begging for him to stay?
Had she beco addicted to pushing him to other won?
Just what did she think he was to her?
Just as he recalled her distressed face in her grandma’s room, he felt better, “Ning Qing, I know that you’ve loved all these years but you can’t force a relationship. I want to be with Yaoyao. Don’t make it difficult for her. Between the two of us, consider the one who owes you.”
Ning Qing didn’t even have the strength to laugh. She suddenly didn’t understand why she would accept his confession of love when she was eighteen, why she would accept his garden date and engagent...
He couldn’t even differentiate the bad and the good. His face of arrogance; she thought it was too much to bear just another glance!
After a while, Ning Qing spoke. Her gentle voice brought a tinge of weariness, “Xu Junxi, let’s call off our engagent.”
Xu Junxi’s body stiffened. That’s strange. He was the one who said that he was with Ning Yao but when he heard her calling off their engagent, he felt an ache in his heart. It felt as though soone stabbed a knife at his chest and took his heart away. It was as though sothing important was flowing away...
There was cold chill to their faces, and Xu Junxi looked up and saw that it was drizzling. The dense and heavy raindrops wet their clothes.
“Alright,” His deep voice sounded like it was forced out from his stomach. Xu Junxi stared at her face as not to miss any expression, “Please pass back the jade bracelet that was passed down through the Xu family. I want to give it to Yaoyao.”
“Okay,” Ning Qing nodded. The pattering raindrops that hit their skin were as cold as she felt inside at the very mont, “The jade bracelet belongs to the Xu family. I will definitely return it to you. But I didn’t bring the jade bracelet with . I’ll call you tomorrow and you can co and collect.”
Ning Qing said this and turned to leave without waiting for Xu Junxi’s response.
