Chapter 285 - To Break Off the Engagement

Chapter 285 To Break Off the Engagement

Ye Yifan was inevitably a little surprised, then he quickly stepped forward and grabbed hold of Tang Xia’s shoulders. He had a look of disbelief, and even his voice trembled with agitation.

“Why? Don’t you have any feelings toward me as well? Didn’t you become an anchor because of me? Why are you rejecting me now?”

Tang Xia was shocked by his agitated look, and she struggled gently and broke free from his grasp. That was when she realized that all the people around them were actually looking at the both of them.

It turned out that his voice was a little loud just now, and they were all looking over, out of mild curiosity. Tang Xia quickly waved her hand in embarrassment. “Everyone, it’s nothing. Please carry on.”

The crowd did not bother about them anymore, as they resumed their conversation. Tang Xia inevitably heaved a sigh of relief before she turned her head to look at Ye Yifan.

“The reason is very clear. It is also something that we have to face. Did you forget? You still have a marriage contract with Li Xianxian, so how can I, Tang Xia, be with someone who has a marriage contract? Wouldn’t I become a mistress then?”

Ye Yifan was rendered speechless by her words and he actually lost the will to question her. It was as if he was instantly drained of his strength and became completely defeated. He smiled helplessly, “Yes, I forgot that I have a marriage contract…”

Tang Xia could not bear to look at Ye Yifan, so she took a deep breath of air before she went forward and shook his shoulders. “But don’t you want to resist now? Wouldn’t it be timely for you to reject what you don’t want? Go all out and do it. I will always wait for you.”

When Ye Yifan saw the firm look in Tang Xia’s eyes, he gradually regained his resolve. The sense of heaviness in his heart seemed to have settled down, and he gripped Tang Xia’s hand before he said firmly, “Thank you.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Ye Yifan, too, held onto Tang Xia’s hand and they walked into the crowd together. That evening, everyone had a great time. The person who was proposing, performed very well and pulled it off successfully.

The noise and excitement were like a passing scene of empty extravagance. The sense of beauty did not seem realistic, but Tang Xia knew that she only needed to enjoy the moment now.

Within a few days, the second round of the [Uncrowned King] match would officially begin. Tang Xia finished washing up, and as she looked at her own reflection in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction.

She patted her cheeks confidently and muttered to herself, “All the best, Tang Xia! Although this round of the games is very likely going to be more dangerous than the previous game, I believe you will be able to pull through it!”

As she spoke, she arranged her sleeves. As she did not need to take anything, she went to the company dressed like that, since it had been agreed upon previously that everyone would gather in the company to take the company car, to take part in the competition together.

However, just when she arrived at the company, she saw a lot of people standing there waiting for July. Strangely, she did not see Ye Yifan and she could not help raising her eyebrows in bafflement, as she grabbed hold of a colleague to ask, “Isn’t Ye Yifan here yet?”

When the colleague saw that it was Tang Xia, he smiled with a slightly ambiguous look in his eyes. “Oh, Ye Yifan? Just now, July seemed to have some business with him, so he went directly to her office.” Tang Xia nodded her head and thanked him.Updates by vi p novel

Just when she turned her head with the intention to go to July’s office, she felt a strange force tugging at her clothes from behind. She was dragged over and felt her head spinning. Subsequently, she heard a ‘pop’ sound and her cheeks began to burn like fire.

Everyone around her was shocked by this crisp sound. When they turned around, they saw Tang Xia frowning as she cupped her cheeks and looked at the angry Li Xianxian, in surprise.

Li Xianxian had a furious expression on her face and she was breathing rapidly. Tang Xia’s chest, too, rose and fell violently.

Right at that moment, Ye Yifan and July ended their conversation and when the two of them came out, they saw Li Xianxian slap Tang Xia. They, too, did not manage to react to what had happened.

“Li Xianxian, are you crazy? Why are you attacking people randomly in the morning!”

After Tang Xia regained her senses, she began to boil with rage. However, she also knew that she could not fight back in such a situation, since a human could not bite a dog, after one was bitten by a dog.

Some colleagues quickly came forward to check if Tang Xia was alright and Tang Xia shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

However, when she took her hands away, everyone was shocked. They saw that Tang Xia’s cheeks were red and swollen, which showed how much strength Li Xianxian had used.

However, Li Xianxian showed no repentance at all. She even made threatening gestures and wanted to come forward to claw Tang Xia’s face, but was quickly restrained by the colleagues behind her quickly.

“Let me go! Why are you holding on to me! Quick, let me carve up her face! This vixen! She can only use this face to seduce men!”

Everyone could not help, but look at Tang Xia. However, Tang Xia did not understand why she was being labeled a vixen, and she, too, felt a little angry.

“Li Xianxian, watch your words. What do you mean by a vixen? Who did you see me seduce?”

Ye Yifan, who was originally stunned and frozen in place, finally managed to react to the situation and quickly rushed forward to separate the two of them. He then turned to stare at Li Xianxian with a serious expression on his face, then he chided her in a deep, angry voice,

“Xianxian, are you done creating a ruckus? How can a girl hit other people at will! To think that my mother even said that you are a proper lady!”

When Tang Xia saw Ye Yifan coming over to help her, she felt slightly comforted in her heart.

However, it was different for Li Xianxian. When she saw Ye Yifan defending Tang Xia, her expression instantly became twisted, and she said sharply,

“Look! And you said that you did not seduce men! It’s because of you that Ye Yifan is breaking off the engagement with me! It’s all because of you! Up till now, he always helped you, instead of me!”

“Tang Xia, you truly have great scheming moves. You snatched my place and then you snatched my man!”

There was an uproar and even Tang Xia was at a loss as to what to do. She looked at Ye Yifan in disbelief. She did not expect that she had actually convinced Ye Yi Fan to terminate the engagement.

However, Ye Yifan was slightly annoyed and he frowned as he scolded her in a deep voice, “Xianxian, watch your words. It’s only because we are not suitable and that the person I like is not you. You will not be happy even if you married me.”

“So it’s good for both of us to terminate the engagement early.”

As he spoke, he turned around to look at Tang Xia’s cheeks which were becoming increasingly swollen. This made Ye Yifan’s heart ache even more, and he felt even more resentful towards Li Xianxian. When Tang Xia saw the hint of heart ache in Ye Yifan’s eyes, she could not help feeling moved.Updates by vi p novel

Li Xianxian looked like she still wanted to say something, but July, who was standing by the side, was reluctant to allow the farce to continue, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Xianxian.

“Alright, alright. It’s office hours now and the second round of the match is about to start soon. There’s no time for all of you to discuss these personal issues. Hurry up and prepare for the game. We are leaving.”

The onlookers around them, who were watching a good show, dispersed and July came forward to check on Tang Xia’s face. She felt extremely annoyed and turned to look at Li Xianxian, before she reprimanded her angrily,

“Don’t you know that today’s match is about to start? You actually injured her face without consideration for what is important! Go off and reflect on your actions properly!”

As she said this, she dragged Tang Xia off with the intention to help her to reduce the swelling. Although Li Xianxian felt very unwilling, she could only give up. Ye Yifan also went along to prepare an ice pack for Tang Xia. However, even after she iced her cheeks for a long time, it did not have much of an effect, and her cheeks were still very swollen.

July was also anxious and at a loss as to what to do. She quickly sent someone to the props department to retrieve a silver, half-faced mask for her to put on.

“We can only make do with this.” When July saw that the mask covered the swollen half of Tang Xia’s face, she also felt very helpless. Tang Xia looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. However, Ye Yifan looked at her from the side with a strange expression, and shook his head.

“This won’t do. Give me one too. Otherwise, I’m afraid that if Tang Xia is the only one to don a mask among everyone, the media will say that she is trying to be a big shot, and there will be a bunch of negative comments and news.” After July pondered deeply about it, she also felt that Ye Yifan’s consideration was well rounded, and she quickly got someone to prepare one for him as well.

July looked at the two with satisfaction. At a glance, nobody will notice a problem with their faces. Instead, the two looked strangely compatible.

It was almost time and all the anchors made their way to the Aqua Crystal Stadium together, under July’s lead. Initially, Li Xianxian wanted Tang Xia to make a fool of herself. After she found out that Tang Xia’s face had swelled after she hit her, she instantly felt secretly gleeful.

However, after she got on the car, she discovered that Tang Xia did not appear with a swollen pig’s head and was, instead, wearing a mask. She looked inexplicably mysterious and there was no trace of awkwardness at all. The main point was that Ye Yifan even paired up with her, and used the same mask!

Li Xianxian stepped forward with slight annoyance and frustration.

“July! Does the game allow one to wear a mask?”

As soon as Tang Xia heard Li Xianxian’s voice, she knew that this person was going to wreak havoc again. Just when she turned her head to say something, she saw July throw a sideway glance at her angrily, her expression seeming to convey that she was reluctant to be bothered with her.

“There are rules which allows one to wear a mask, but there are also no rules which forbid one to wear a mask. If you are too idle, then go catch up on your sleep. Don’t cause any trouble here with me.”

She had been busy for half the day only because Li Xianxian did not consider what was important and so, she felt disgruntled in her heart now. Li Xianxian could only pout and return to her seat.

Soon after, they arrived at the gymnasium. The moment Tang Xia and Ye Yifan got down from the car, they immediately attracted the attention of all the fans.

The two of them wore silver masks and there was a strange, mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere around them. July was very satisfied with the response of the fans around them and she inevitably felt relief in her heart.

However, at that moment, Li Xianxian suddenly came over. Tang Xia did not expect her to continue with it at this time, and she gave a displeased frown.

“I would advise you to give me a break. Even though Brother Yifan and I have broken off our engagement, I am still his childhood sweetheart. Your status is still incomparable to mine, and I believe that we will renew our marriage contract!”

Tang Xia could not help but find it funny and she turned her head to cast her a sideway glance. “I’ll return the same words to you. No matter what moves you have, bring it on. I’ll definitely take you on.”
