Yang Sitong’s expression turned extremely terrible.

When she had first known that she was engaged to Lu Yanchen, she had always dreamt of growing up faster so that she could marry him and lead days of happiness ever after.

She had been waiting the entire time.

Unexpectedly, when he had just graduated from high school on a certain midsummer day, he came by her house and requested to annul their marriage.

He said, “I’m not going to marry your daughter. It’s a good thing for both you and your daughter the sooner this marriage is annulled.”

Leaving that statement, he turned around and left.

She chased after him with reckless abandon, “Why, Yanchen! What’s wrong with me? Why are you annulling our marriage!”

Just like he was now, he looked at her with a certain coldness and distance as though he was looking at a stranger and replied calmly, “There’s nothing wrong with you. Initially, this marriage agreement meant nothing to me. But, things are different now…I have someone I like. I must annul our marriage agreement or it will be unfair to her.”

“But, I like you!”

“You liking me does not mean that I’ll like you too. Our marriage agreement was a mistake from the very beginning.”

That year, Lu Yanchen had fallen into the waters. Because Yang Sitong was the one who had leaped into the waters to save him, the Lu Family arranged for both of them to get married.

She fell in love with him the first time she caught sight of Lu Yanchen. However, he didn’t seem to have anything for her at all.

The way he looked at her was always cold and aloof.

She just could not understand what was wrong about her. Why couldn’t he just give her a chance?

That year, after he turned up at her place requesting for their marriage agreement to be annulled, he disappeared for a period of time. No one knew where he had gone to.

When he returned, he told his father that he wanted to study at a university abroad.

Because of him annulling the marriage and wanting to go overseas to study, his father had given him a long lesson using a cane. Despite that, his father could not hold him back and he still went ahead for his studies overseas.

She had always thought that he was lying about liking someone else. In her mind, he only wanted to avoid the marriage because it was something fixed by the elders of their families. All boys at that age would have a young, wild, and rebellious heart, hence his excuse for breaking the marriage agreement.

During the two years that he had spent studying overseas, she had stealthily headed over to the school he was in and asked around from the schoolmates as well.

He was really cold to everyone—especially the female students—and was always alone in everything he did. That had Yang Sitong even more assured that him declaring that he liked someone was all a lie.

It was only after he suddenly dropped out of school and locked himself back at home that she knew that it was all real. He had even been together with that girl for some time.

She was jealous, so jealous that she could almost go mad.

But thankfully, they had already broken up.

During the past two years, he entered the military and finished his university studies in the military as well. Right now, he was facing a crossroads in life—to continue sticking around in the military or head overseas for studies. Or perhaps, he might want to enter politics.

But no matter what he wanted to do, she did not seem as though she was a part of his plans.

She truly wanted to shout out.

‘Haven’t you already broken up with that ex-girlfriend of yours? You guys have ended things for more than two years now! Why can’t you just try accepting me?’

However, she did not dare to do so. She was afraid that doing that might degrade her image in Lu Yanchen’s eyes even more.

Therefore, no matter how upset, how uneasy she felt all over right now, she tried her best to hold everything back in before him.

Yang Sitong persuaded herself to calm down and hold it in.

She heaved in a deep breath of air and asked frailly, “Yanchen, you don’t have a girlfriend now and neither do I have a boyfriend. Could we just give it a try?”

“No!” Lu Yanchen’s rejection was decisive. “I’ve already gone over to your place to annul our marriage agreement. No matter you guys agree to it or not, in my eyes, it’s already a done deal. Therefore, you can go ahead and look for a boyfriend, or even get married tomorrow. No one will say anything about it, and I will even give you my blessings.”
