Qian Xun looked at him deeply before scoffing out sarcastically. “What’s wrong with me? Shouldn’t that question be directed at you? Haven’t I told you that if there’s a second time, I will terminate our cooperation?”

She then flung Shi Ze’s hand away before entering her car and speeding off without turning back even once.

After watching Qian Xun leave his view, Shi Ze kicked at the tire of a car nearby in frustration.

He knew that Qian Xun was smart, and he hadn’t expected that he would be able to keep his actions hidden from her. Now that the engagement was nearing, he did not believe that she would really dare break it off.

However, his frustration stemmed from the fact that his fiancée truly had something going on with that Lu Yanzhi.

The two of them had hidden it truly well—to think that despite being in the same circle, no one else had known anything about them.

Could that son of Lu Yanzhi be Qian Xun’s?

If it were, wouldn’t he become the stepfather of that child?

Interesting!

...

When Qian Xun reached home, her phone rang out before she could even compose her emotions—it was Shi Ze.

She pondered for a moment before picking it up.

His voice rang out. “Qian Xun, sorry!”

She laughed out mockingly. “Your apology is worthless.”

“I admit that I was trying to test the waters between you and the First of the Lus. But... I think you should understand why I would do this. My feud with the Lus is no secret. Even if our relationship is merely that of a cooperation, I don’t wish for you to have any sort of ambiguous relationship with a man of the Lus.” His tender voice brought with it a tinge of resignation and sadness, yet his tone was one that was so convinced.

Qian Xun could only scoff coldly in her heart.

When she had tried getting together with him at the start, she had already made it clear that the both of them were individual entities, and she would never help him go against the Lus.

“Cancel tomorrow’s engagement then!”

“Qian Xun...” Shi Ze had not expected her to really say that—wasn’t she afraid of the Sus being made a joke by the outsiders?

“Since you’re so smart, you should know why I’m doing this!” Qian Xun hung up right afterward. There was a sense of indignation that she could not speak of in her heart.

As she tossed her phone at the sofa fiercely, it rang out—it was a text message.

Hesitating for a moment, she opened it—Shi Ze said that he would not cancel the engagement and he would wait for her to appear at the banquet.

Qian Xun shut her phone off immediately. She no longer wanted the engagement.

Shi Guang was right about one thing—even if the marriage did not stem from love, it should not be with someone that was detestable.

At this moment, Qian Xun truly felt that Shi Ze was annoying.

And, what she couldn’t tolerate more than anything else was how he was trying to involve the Sus in his feud with the Lus.

What was the use of the rules they laid down at the start then?

The next day, her assistant arrived with the gown for her engagement.

Anyways, she had no intention of changing into it or turning up at the banquet. Picking up her phone, she gave Old Master Su a call.

“Qian Xun!” Old Master Su answered chirpily.

“Daddy, I...” She wanted to say that she wanted to cancel the engagement, yet she found herself incapable of doing so.

“What’s wrong? Getting nervous?” Old Master Su asked before chuckling out even more merrily. “Don’t worry, it’s just an engagement! Just attend it like any other banquet and do anything you like!”

Those casual statements had Qian Xun’s determination wavering all of a sudden.

Forget it... it was just an engagement! As her father said, she should just take it like any other banquet.

For everything else, she’d wait for today to pass before deciding..
