Liang Mumu was beginning to feel a little frustrated with s.h.i.+ Yao, so she ma.s.saged her temples and asked with a heavier tone, “Yaoyao, talk to me seriously or else I’m going to get angry!”

But in truth, s.h.i.+ Yao wasn’t playing around either. She’d been serious the entire time…

s.h.i.+ Yao fell silent for a brief moment before she faced Liang Mumu with a solemn gaze and said, “Mumu, I’m canceling my engagement with him.”

“What?” Shocked by the sudden announcement, Liang Mumu was completely stunned.

A moment later, it seemed like Liang Mumu still couldn’t take in s.h.i.+ Yao’s words as she asked, “Yaoyao, what do you mean by that? Cancel your engagement with him?”

“It just means that I want to cancel my engagement with Lin Jiage,” s.h.i.+ Yao replied honestly.

Her tone was extremely composed and serious, and there were no signs that she was joking.

Liang Mumu stared at s.h.i.+ Yao for a very long time. A myriad of emotions flickered across her face before she finally moved her lips, “Yaoyao, do you know what you’re saying?”

s.h.i.+ Yao nodded. “I do.”

Liang Mumu: “Did Brother Jia bring up the cancelation? Does Grandpa Lin know about it? If Grandpa Lin found out, Brother Jia will be in for another beating again…”

s.h.i.+ Yao shook her head. “He wasn’t the one who brought it up, I did. I’ll tell Grandpa Lin myself that I’m not interested in marrying Lin Jiage, that way Grandpa Lin won’t blame him for this matter.”

Hearing those words, Liang Mumu exclaimed in shock, “You were the one who brought it up?!”

“Mm,” s.h.i.+ Yao replied. A moment later, she continued, “Actually, the reason why I never talked about him in front of you isn’t because I wanted to hide our relations.h.i.+p from you. It’s just that there really is nothing between us.”

“Mumu, did you know? From the moment I learned about the child betrothal six years ago until now, the number of times we’ve met can easily be counted with my fingers. The total time we’ve spent together is probably no more than an hour. To tell you the truth, he wasn’t pretending that he didn’t know me back at SKP that day. He really didn’t recognize me at all.”

After hearing s.h.i.+ Yao’s long speech, Liang Mumu asked, “Is this the reason why you want to cancel your engagement?”

“That’s not really it.”

“Then why?”

Lowering her gaze, a tinge of red spread across s.h.i.+ Yao’s face as she replied, “It’s a secret.”

Liang Mumu wasn’t one to give up easily, but despite interrogating her for a very long time, s.h.i.+ Yao showed no signs of coming clean. Eventually, she had no choice but to let it rest.

Usually, Liang Mumu would spend the entire day with s.h.i.+ Yao, and they would only part ways after the sun had set. This time, however, Liang Mumu actually offered to bring s.h.i.+ Yao back to her campus right after finis.h.i.+ng their dessert.

s.h.i.+ Yao casually asked why Liang Mumu didn’t want to shop anymore, and Liang Mumu replied that she wasn’t feeling well. s.h.i.+ Yao could tell that she was lying, but she chose not to expose her, thinking that her friend might have an emergency that wasn’t convenient for her to know about. Thus, she went along with Liang Mumu and returned to her campus.

After having dinner, s.h.i.+ Yao took a look at her messages again.

Lin Jiage still hadn’t replied.

Feeling that there was nothing she could do about it, she tapped into WeChat and went into the [s.e.xy and Frisky] group to send a message: [Does anyone want to play?]

Shortly after sending the message, the phone in her hand vibrated, and a notification alarm for her messages rang out.

s.h.i.+ Yao swiftly tapped open her messages.

Lin Jiage had finally messaged back after several days.
