âNo!â Annie was shocked and pushed him away forcefully.
Because she was wearing a strapless dress, his actions caused her dress to slip down.
Annie held her dress against her chest, embarrassed.
âHow could you do this!â she criticized him, glaring at him furiously.
Ye Sijue was a usually calm person and had never behaved so rashly before. But now all he wanted to do was leave his mark on her body to show that fiancé of hers who she really belonged to!
He looked at her stiffly as he held her chin and met her eyes. âWhat about you? Why are you like this? How did this fiancé pop out of nowhere?â
âPop out of nowhere? Chris is originally myâ¦â Annieâs first instinct was to rebut him, but her desire to explain the situation to him was stronger.
However, Ye Sijue became displeased after hearing the first half of her explanation. He chuckled coldly and said, âHeâs originally your fiancé? So, you already had a fiancé before you came to China? But you still got together with me? Who am I to you?â
Had he misjudged her?
He had thought she was a girl who was as pure as white paper. Was she really a masterful player who had been playing with his emotions?
âNoâ¦â Annie was so anxious that she didnât know how to explain to him momentarily. She fumbled as she said, âHow do I put this? Chris isnât considered my fiancé yet. We didnât really get engaged. It was only⦠arranged by our families.â
Upon hearing that she wasnât really engaged, the frost in his eyes melted a little.
Unexpectedly, he heard Annie say in the next moment, âHowever⦠weâll be officially engaged in two days.â
Ye Sijueâs gaze turned icy once more, but he laughed out loud this time. âMo Xiaomeng, what about me? Who am I to you?â
Was he just a passing visitor in her life?
Was she only playing around before she got engaged?
âIâ¦â Annie looked into his eyes, wishing to speak but she stopped.
The words in his gaze stabbed at her heart.
He had never looked at her with such disdain. It was as though he were disgusted with her.
A painful stab passed through Annieâs heart again and her eyes filled with tears.
How should she say this?
Before she met him, she hadnât opposed her engagement with Chris.
However, after meeting him, there were many times when she considered if she still wanted the engagement to continue.
She had no romantic feelings towards Chris, of course. The two of them grew up together, and thus they did have a solid relationship. However, it was not love. She had never felt her heart beat wildly when around Chris.
However, Chris was a very important person to her, for he was akin to family.
Just as she was thinking about rejecting the engagement, Chris arrived in China to bring her back to see his Grandma.
Grandmaâs health wasnât too good, and she wished to see them become engaged as soon as possible. Annie couldnât reject the grandma who had always loved her since she was little and thus had to go through with the engagement.
Tears swirled around in Annieâs eyes. She grasped Ye Sijueâs shirt with her little hand, her nose red. She looked really sad.
In a choked voice she said, âYe Sijue⦠What about me? Donât you alsoâ¦â
Didnât he also have a fiancée?
