The girl watched Eren leaving the room. Seeing how easily he agreed to go, she felt a surge of frustration.
How could he be so nonchalant when a girl like her was leaving him? She simply couldn't understand his indifferent behavior.
However, the moment Eren paused at the threshold, her thoughts began to calm down. Her gaze turned cold once more. She was convinced that Eren had only been pretending to be carefree before. He was surely going to beg her not to leave him.
There was no doubt in her mind that Eren did not want her to leave. Why else would he hesitate to exit the room? It was all starting to make sense to her.
Previously, his casual demeanor had been an act, a plot to see if she would stop him from leaving. And now that she hadn't intervened, he was going to reveal his true feelings and desperation for her to stay.
She wrapped her arms around her chest, waiting for him to start begging. She even prepared to crush his frail ego and walk past him just as indifferently.
Just as she expected, Eren turned around and looked at her. However, he didn't fall to his knees. He didn't even appear as if he was going to beg her. Instead, his expressions were quite calm. If anything, he appeared slightly relieved.
"To be honest, I am really glad that you came here to break off the engagement. I wanted to do the same, but I wasn't free," Eren told her, making her expressions drop.
"What did you say? Is this some pathetic attempt to save your fragile man ego?" The girl's eyes narrowed, her lips twitching in frustration.
This person was claiming that he wanted to break the engagement with her? How dare he! How could he even think about it? Just what did he think of himself?
"I don't need to protect my ego. I just didn't want to break yours, so I didn't tell you before. But as I was leaving, I realized that I should be more honest with you."
She thought that she had to kill him to break off the engagement but this man had already abandoned her, not even finding her worthy of him?
The girl scoffed dismissively, trying to mask her frustration. "Hmph, good. You two deserve each other. You're both just frogs at the bottom of the well, so it's a good pair."
As Eren held Xiu Ying close, he subtly used his dragon tongue to make her veil flutter away, revealing her face.
For a moment, even the girl was stunned by Xiu Ying's looks. Even if she didn't want to accept it, she couldn't deny that Xiu Ying was prettier than her.
Was Eren really that good? Why would a woman as pretty as her be with him? It was just a human instinct. When someone else wanted their things, it often became more valuable in their eyes.
"I am happy being a frog in a well if it means I can spend the rest of my life with such an amazing girl," Eren said, kissing Xiu Ying's neck in front of the guest.
"Moreover, aren't you talking too big for someone who can't even defeat this frog?" he further stated.
Now that he had established the fact that he didn't want her in the first place, he could properly drag her into a battle to show her heart how special this so-called frog was.
If she claimed to be so important, that meant she had either the strength or treasures to give her the confidence. What was going to happen if he crushed her confidence right here to reveal that he was already in a different world than her.
Eren didn't know if it was going to work as he intended, but it was the best he could do. After all, he had to keep her girl from leaving to succeed.
With the excuse of arranging the battle, he could keep her for at least a day to get an opportunity to make a place in her heart to make her regret.
