Wen Xiu missed and stabilized her body awkwardly. She pouted and said, “Brother Yi Zheng, have you forgotten? This is an arranged marriage between your father and mine. When 1 was young, 1 said that I would marry you when I grew up!”

Yi Zheng rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and did not answer her. Instead, he walked up to Shi Man and held her hand innocently. “That was just a joke that the elders drank too much. Don’t be angry, okay?”

“Brother Yi Zheng!” Wen Xiu stomped her feet sadly, her eyes filled with a broken light. “You must be joking, right? I’m your fiancee. How can you like her?”

Yi Zheng sighed softly and held Shi Man’s hand as they stood side by side. His indifferent eyes landed on Wen Xiu coldly. “I’ve said it before. That was just an engagement set by my father after he drank too much. It has nothing to do with me.”

The light in Wen Xiu’s eyes suddenly dimmed. She stared straight at Yi Zheng’s hand that was holding Shi Man’s tightly, and her eyes turned red. “Is this how it feels to be betrayed?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It turned out that her heart would hurt so much that she suffocated. It was so painful that she wished Shi Man could disappear immediately!

However, she suddenly thought of what Shi Man had just said.

No betrayal deserved to be forgiven.

But she was really indignant!

“Brother Yi Zheng.” Wen Xiu refused to give up and walked up to Yi Zheng. She wanted to reach out and pull his sleeve coquettishly, but he avoided her expressionlessly. She could only retract her hand resentfully and say, “I don’t mind you finding another girlfriend when I’m not around. Marry me. 1 like you very much.”

Yi Zheng was afraid that Shi Man would be angry if she continued to listen, so he pulled Shi Man and was about to leave.

Shi Man refused to leave just like that. She pulled his hand and gestured for him to calm down. She walked up to the girl with a smile. “But he minds. Like me, he won’t betray the lover in his heart. If you’re sure that Yi Zheng abandoned you first, why are you obsessed with a man who already has someone else in his heart?”

Even if Wen Xiu did not want to admit it, she knew very well that she actually agreed with Shi Man.

She opened her mouth to retort, but no sound came out.

Behind her, the man looked at Shi Man coldly. Seeing that his niece was not her match, he pulled Wen Xiu behind him and walked forward to confront Shi Man. “Miss Shi, this is between Wen Xiu and Xiao Zheng. Shouldn’t you refrain from interfering?”

Yi Zheng immediately went forward to protect Shi Man. “Uncle, Shi Man is my fiancee. Of course, she can interfere with everything about me. I’m willing to let her interfere in my life.”

The man glared at Yi Zheng, as if he hated him for not giving him respect in front of outsiders.

Unfortunately, in Yi Zheng’s heart, Shi Man was the priority. Everyone else had to make way for her.

The man snorted unreasonably and pulled Wen Xiu’s hand to take her away.

Wen Xiu cried and shook off his hand. “Brother Yi Zheng, can you tell me if 1 hadn’t been sent overseas by my family since I was young and had been by your side, would you have not fallen in love with someone else?”

She thought that Yi Zheng would give her the answer she wanted. Unfortunately, a cold-hearted person like Yi Zheng who did not know how to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex was destined to disappoint her.

He denied it without hesitation. “No, I’ve never liked any woman before I met Shi Man. Even if you didn’t leave, I wouldn’t like you. I’ve always treated you as my sister.”

Yi Zheng’s words completely extinguished the fragile flame in Wen Xiu’s heart.

She couldn’t stand the embarrassment of being rejected in public anymore. Her heart ached as she ran to the elevator door. Just as she was about to take the elevator and leave, she bumped into Yi Long, who was late.

“Uncle Yi?” Wen Xiu blinked her big watery eyes, looking innocent and aggrieved.

Yi Long was also shocked by her. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted. He patted her head with a smile and said, “Has Xiao Xiu actually grown up? When did you return to the country? Why didn’t you tell Uncle?”

“Dad.” Yi Zheng held Shi Man’s hand and walked over. He rubbed his eyebrows and reminded him, “Engagement.”

“What engagement? Isn’t your engagement party with Manman not ready yet?” Yi Long clearly didn’t remember his ridiculous promise. He was stunned for a moment before suddenly looking down at Wen Xiu’s red eyes. Only then did he clap and say in realization, “Xiao Xiu didn’t come back for Yi Zheng, right?”

A hint of hope flashed across Wen Xiu’s silent eyes. “Uncle, I’m Brother Yi Zheng’s official fiancee, right? Brother Yi Zheng should marry me!”

Only then did Yi Long know how much trouble he had caused back then. He suddenly felt a little guilty to Shi Man and hurriedly pulled Wen Xiu to the side to coax her. “Xiao Xiu, Uncle and your father were really drunk back then. That was nonsense after drinking. You can’t take it seriously!”

However, Wen Xiu clearly believed this without a doubt.. She retorted in disbelief, “Uncle! Then what about the engagement token you gave my family?”
