Luo Han looked at her, his heart hanging in the air. What did she want to say? Did she want to tell him about the annulment of the engagement? He actually didn't want her to say it out because there was a moment of hesitation in his heart.

"Chu Xia, what do you want to say?" Ji Lin asked in puzzlement. Bai Yao Country, Madam Luo, Ji Ye Che, Autumn Night, He Zhi Qi also cast their gaze on Chu Xia. Some had doubts, some were nervous, and some were looking forward to it.

In an instant, the air became oppressive, as if there was no air flow. Everyone held their breath.

Now, from her perspective, everything would end smoothly. It would also be the last method to minimize pain and preserve dignity. Bai Chu Xia, you have to be brave, it's not as difficult as you think.

She licked her lips and took a deep breath. She did her best to open her mouth.

"Early summer —" Autumn Night suddenly stood up and interrupted her. "You, if you want to wear a dress designed by Miss He, just relax and say so. See how you make everyone nervous."

The elders heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Han's tensed nerves had also relaxed, and the atmosphere had changed.

"So that's the case, child. Isn't this easy? Whichever one you like, auntie will buy it for you, and you can also wear it for us to see!" Madam Luo walked in front of Bai Chu Xia and affectionately shook her hand.

Luo Han withdrew his arm from He Zhiqi's, and also walked to the front of Bai Chu Xia, "If you like that, go pick it yourself."

Bai Chu Xia's heart was in a mess. She retracted her hand and said, "Sorry, I want to go to the washroom …" With messy steps, she brushed past Luo Han without any destination in mind. The lights in front of her were all shaking.

"Early summer — — I'll go with you." Autumn Night also followed with quick steps.

For Autumn. The three elders could see that there was something behind this, but they didn't want to say it out loud. They could only pretend that they didn't know, while Ji Ye Che had a still expression.

Luo Han told his mother to first sit down. "Mom, sit down. Help Auntie Ji to advise." After that, he sat down beside Ji Ye Che.

The smile on He Zhi Qi's face gradually faded. Her body became stiff, but soon she returned to her normal self. "Then let's take a look at the sets of stage clothes that I have designed for you, Miss Ji Lin."

"Alright!" Ji Lin couldn't help but smile. From the looks of it, Miss He had a deep relationship with Luo Han.

"Since I don't have a suitable model, I came to visit you myself. There are a total of 12 sets of clothes. Please wait a moment, I will choose the first one!" He Zhiqi retreated with a decent smile.

In the washroom, Bai Chu Xia bent down, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on her face to clear her head.

"Chu Xia, do you really want to break off the engagement with Luo Han? Do you really want He Zhi Qi to be proud? Have you considered father's feelings, our Bai Clan's face?" Autumn Night stood beside her and spoke in a dignified tone. She was actually afraid that Ji Ye Che would have the chance to be together with her again.

Bai Chu Xia straightened her back and wiped the water droplets off her face with her hand. "Sis, it's not that I want to cancel the engagement, but that I have to. Rather than letting him say it out loud, why don't I say it myself? At least I can preserve some of my dignity."

"Are you stupid? They said it was useless, but didn't you see how much Madame Luo liked you? Regarding our two families' reputation, they couldn't just cancel the engagement if they wanted to, but elder sister can see that you like Luo Han, so you should go grasp him. Besides, Luo Han doesn't have no feelings for you at all, you can't give up, don't you know that?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Bai Chu Xia shook her head. Hearing her sister's words, she became even more confused.

Outside, He Zhiqi had already changed into two sets of clothes. Luo Han saw that Chu Xia hadn't come out yet, so he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to get up and walk towards her.

Outside the bathroom, He Zhiqi pulled Luo Han, dragged him into the locker room and closed the door. She then anxiously asked, "Han, don't you want to say it, today is the best chance."

"Zhi Qi, you're too impatient. Let's talk about it next time!" Luo Han answered tiredly. Bai Chu Xia's pale face kept appearing in front of him.

"I'm in too much of a hurry?!" You told me that you didn't have any feelings for that girl, and you agreed to start over with me. Since you were only faking an engagement with her, why couldn't you just end it right away? Did you change your mind? You like early summer?! " He Zhiqi's beautiful face was full of pain. Her face had turned pale and her lips had lost their color.

"No, of course not, how could I possibly love her? Zhi Qi, the person I loved was you, and was, and am now …" He denied it very quickly because he could not accept it at the moment.

"Since you love me, then why can't you let her go? Luo Han, you make me feel more and more unfamiliar, and I don't understand you anymore …" He Zhi Qi was not a brainless beauty. She was meticulous and smart, and the contradiction between her and Luo Han made her panic.

"That's because I'm not the same as I was four years ago. Time always makes people change, Zhi Qi. Next time, I'll find a chance to talk to you. Today, focus on showing off your clothes," Luo Han said confidently.

She let go of Luo Han and turned away, tears in her eyes. "If you insist on doing this, I can't force you to do so. You can leave first, I still want to change my clothes."

"Then I'll go out first." Luo Han walked out, passing the washroom door and just running into Bai Chu Xia.

They looked at each other, relatively speechless, then returned to the front of the exhibition hall and sat down in the same position as before.

He Zhi Qi continued to change tactics. She was afraid that after the marriage annulment was over, she would bring up the matter of annulling the engagement again. Thinking quickly, thinking of ways to stop her, she saw the finished clothes hanging outside and came up with a plan.

She leaned close to Ji Lin and whispered to her, "Mom, where should I go with Chu Xia to check my clothes?"

"Go!" Ji Lin smiled as she agreed.

Bai Qiu Wan pulled Bai Chu Xia along as she stood up and headed to the next clothing showroom.

"Sis!" What are we doing here? " Bai Chu Xia was pulled here for no apparent reason, so she didn't know what they were here for.

"Didn't Madam Luo say that she would give you a set of clothes? She'll definitely let you pick one later. Why don't we pick one now and leave immediately? You don't want to stay any longer, do you?" Autumn Snow skimmed through the rows of clothes and said with a relaxed tone.

Bai Chu Xia didn't have any interest in curling her lips, "I don't want any clothes."

"Silly girl, this isn't a question of whether you want it or not, but a matter of accepting your future mother-in-law's kind intentions." As she spoke, Autumn Night turned around and patted Bai Chu Xia on the shoulder, "I know you're not interested in choosing clothes, so why don't you sit on the side for a while and read a magazine? I'll help you choose one."

"Alright then!" Bai Chu Xia didn't seem to be in the mood. She sat down with her back facing Bai Qiu Wan, flipping through the magazines.

Autumn Night pretended to pick at her clothes, taking a pair of small scissors with a cut end from the table, picking out clothes that were easy to extract silk from. She picked out a few small holes in the zipper and in the shoulder straps, if one did not look carefully, he would not notice that after wearing them, just a slight tug from her external force would cause the clothes to crack.

When Xia Hou was dressed, she would stand up to help the others. Then she would say that He Zhi Qi had done it on purpose to see how that slut would explain herself. That way, she wouldn't have the heart to bring up the matter of the marriage contract again. While she was doing this, He Zhiqi had just finished showing off and had come down to change her clothes. She stood in the distance, puzzled as to why Autumn Night would cut her clothes.

"Chu Xia, I've chosen a piece of clothing for you. Let's see if you like it."

Bai Chu Xia took a glance at it and said, "Mmm, it looks good."

"Then go and change, let everyone see!" Bai Qiu Wan pulled up her clothes and stuffed them into the arms of Bai Chu Xia, then pulled her from the chair and pushed her towards the locker room.

"You don't want it? I don't even know if its size is suitable for it. I don't want to wear it!" Bai Chu Xia resisted.

"Good boy!" "Go and change. Aunt Luo will let you wear it later anyway …" Autumn Night continued to push her.

"Sigh — well, well, it's so tiresome!" Bai Chu Xia carried the clothes to the locker room.

Autumn Night turned around. He Zhiqi pretended to have just retreated, smiled at her, and then walked towards the locker room with an indifferent expression. Just now, after Autumn Night gave the clothes to Bai Chu Xia, she suddenly understood why she cut them.

She probably didn't see anything, Autumn Night thought to herself as she returned to the exhibition hall.

As he was about to change, He Zhiqi walked in from the outside and looked at the clothes on the side. She picked them up in surprise, "This is the suit I was going to change into, why is it here? No wonder I couldn't find it. Miss Bai, did you choose this dress, but it was designed for Miss Ji Lin's concert.

"It doesn't matter. You can have it!" Bai Chu Xia couldn't wait to give it to her, so she gave it to her straightforwardly.

"You can pick another one later." He Zhiqi smiled and spoke politely.

Bai Chu Xia didn't have anything to say to her, so she immediately left the locker room. When she returned to the exhibition hall, seeing that she didn't change her clothes, Bai Qiu Wan's eyes were wide open. "Why didn't you change your clothes!"

"You picked the wrong clothes, so someone took them back!" Bai Chu Xia said in a low voice. She wanted to end this as soon as possible.

"What?" Autumn Snow, who was guilty of a crime, could not help but raise her voice. When she saw Ji Ye Che looking at her, she was afraid that he would notice something strange. She quickly stopped talking.

He Zhiqi was wearing the 7th set of clothes. However, what surprised Autumn Night was that it was the clothes she had made earlier. How could it be like this? Looking at He Zhiqi's beautiful and relaxed smile, she felt her scalp tingle. She clearly knew something.

"Miss Ji Lin, this is the seventh set of clothes. The first few sets are quite luxurious, but I'll give you a low-key, fresh style, with the specialty being the chest …" As she said this, she pointed at a place on the clothes, and with a slight pull of her other hand, the entire piece of clothes suddenly split from the chest to the abdomen.

Ahh!" She screamed in shock and quickly used her hand to cover it, but the spring light was still revealed, even the faint redness on her chest could be seen.

Ji Lin, Madam Luo, and Bai Chu Xia were also shocked. How could this happen? Only Autumn Leaf knew why, but from now on, she could only pretend to be deaf and mute.

Luo Han stood up and took off his clothes, wrapping them around her. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's fine. With me here, how could the clothes be ripped?"

His beautiful face flushed red, he shook his head with extreme embarrassment. "I don't know, I can't be sure, I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so I went to the locker room and found the clothes at Chu Xia's place. I told her that it was her costume and told her to choose another one, so I took it and put it on."

Everyone present was shocked. Under He Zhiqi's words, it was obvious that Chu Xia had done something to her clothes.

Luo Han looked at Bai Chu Xia furiously, "You are so despicable. Why do you have to do such a malicious thing? If you feel wronged, come at me. It has nothing to do with Zhi Qi."

Bai Chu Xia's eyes were wide open as she stood up and retorted, "Don't slander me. I didn't do this."

"You are the only one who has touched her clothes, and you still dare to argue that it is none of your business. Bai Chu Xia, you really disappoint me. I thought you were just being mischievous, but I didn't expect you to be so ugly from the inside!"

Bai Chu Xia clenched her fists. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She hated being wronged the most. She yelled out in anger, "I said I didn't!"

"Han. She's still young, I can understand her feelings. It's not strange that she would do this. We can't avoid her now, otherwise I won't be able to survive." He Zhiqi snuggled tightly into Luo Han's embrace, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, I promise you, I'll explain everything today and give you an explanation!" Luo Han knew he had no other way out.

Her eyes were swollen, her throat was filled with pain, she really didn't want to cry, but the liquid uncontrollably filled her eyes, she was trembling, her voice turned from angry to cold, "What do you think you are, worthy of my trick, a pair of dog and dog? If you want to be together, then we can just be together, I don't want to, just act out what dog shit you are."

Ji Ye Che stood up and supported her. "Chu Xia, sit down!" He was afraid that if he didn't stand up now, she would collapse on the spot.

Bai Chu Xia wiped her tears away and gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath and turned to her seniors, using her strongest side to face them. "Daddy, Auntie, Auntie Luo, I want to cancel the engagement!"

Luo Han's heart was shaken, and he felt pain spreading through his body.
