After Gu Jinyuan left, Ye Wanqing did not rush to the banquet hall, but instead, sat in the garden in a daze.
Her impression of this garden was very deep. On the day of her sixteenth birthday, Ye Zhixin, Yin Xue and the others mischievously tricked her into the male restroom in the school.
She thought that she would be locked up for an entire night, and then be discovered the next day as if she was an abnormal being. In the end, in the middle of the night, Ji Xiao broke into the house and saved her.
At that time, she was cold and hungry, and her entire body was smelly and dirty, yet Ji Xiao didn't despise her at all. He secretly brought her back to the Ji Family, then gave her clean clothes to change into.
That was the first time Ye Wanqing had eaten a birthday cake, and the taste was beautiful beyond her imagination.
If not for Ji Xiao's cooperation, how could she have been tricked into the toilet and locked there for so long that day?
He was clearly beside Ye Zhixin when he gave the paper slip to her. He had seen it and guessed Ye Zhixin's intentions, but his attitude was blurred and he allowed her to step into their trap.
Then, he appeared again as though he was his savior, saving her.
Now that he thought about it, he still felt that he had been very, very stupid back then.
Why was he so grateful to that person when he couldn't even see through such a clumsy scam?
He turned around and saw Ji Xiao standing there in a white suit, wearing a dried up branch under his feet. Seeing Ye Wanqing turning around to look, Ji Xiao uncomfortably pursed his lips and said, "Wan Wan, you were very beautiful tonight."
He was telling the truth.
He always knew that Ye Wanqing was beautiful, but he never thought that when she dressed up seriously, she would be so beautiful that it was hard to look at.
"Thank you!"
Even if Ji Xiao was not at the scene, he should have already heard the news. At this time, it was inappropriate for him not to go upstairs to comfort Ye Zhixin, but instead to come over to see her, right?
Ye Wanqing stood up, putting away his previous sadness, and walked past Ji Xiao without looking at him. He was about to return to the banquet hall when his wrist was grabbed: "Wan Wan, you know that the person I like is not her."
"It's not appropriate for Second Young Master to say such words to me at the engagement banquet, right?"
Ye Wanqing said as he struggled to break free, but he couldn't break free because the hand Ji Xiao was grabbing onto from her was very strong.
"Wan Wan, do you really have to speak to me like that?"
"Otherwise, what more do you want me to say? "Is it as ignorant as the idolatry of the past?" Ye Wanqing asked. He was not angry, he was not angry, he was just calm.
This kind of calmness made Ji Xiao feel an odd sense of fear. She had already put down the past with him, and completely put down the present.
"Wan Wan, I know that I was in the wrong in the past, but now that I have realized my wrongs, can't you give me a chance?"
Ji Xiao asked seriously, the strength behind his words was so strong that it seemed as though he wanted to break Ye Wanqing's wrist.
Ye Wanqing decided to stop struggling, and looked him straight in the eye: "What chance do you want me to give you? Since you don't like Ye Zhixin, then don't agree to marry her, this is responsible for her, and also for yourself. Since you agreed, and also told me that you don't like her, do you want me to give you a chance to break off the engagement and let you live your life with someone poking your spine? "
"Wan Wan, that's not what I meant, as long as you forgive me, I will tell Grandfather about the cancellation of the engagement."
"Why should your marriage to her depend on my not forgiving you? "Since I won't forgive you, but you can still live a good life with her, why should I go and do such a thing?"
Ye Wanqing felt that whether he liked it or not was a person's own business, and did not involve the opinions of the people around him.
"Wan Wan, you know very well that's not what I meant. If I bring up the idea of annulling the engagement, all the consequences would naturally be on my shoulders. You only need to forgive me and give me a chance to pursue you anew."
As for the pursuit, I believe you already heard about it, I am already a Mrs. Gu now, so I hope that Second Young Master can give up on this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. "
Ye Wanqing said it bluntly, but Ji Xiao did not believe him in the slightest. He grabbed Ye Wanqing's hand and questioned: "Where's the storage ring? Even if there's no wedding, you should have a wedding ring, right? "
"I've already ordered it and haven't brought it back yet."
Ye Wanqing casually made it up, and Ji Xiao revealed the smile of a big boy: "Wan Wan, you forgot, Ji Family is a jewellery shop, if Gu Jinyuan wants to make a wedding ring, I would definitely know about it."
"No one seems to have made a rule that we have to make wedding rings at Ji Family."
His eyes lit up, and a trace of craziness appeared in his expression. "If he can't even give you the best marriage ring, Wan Wan, what's the point of you marrying him?"
"Ji Xiao! I didn't marry him for the sake of high diamond rings and money! "
Ye Wanqing was enraged. If she really wanted to marry someone, she wouldn't care about how exquisite the workmanship of the ring was, or the size of the diamond on it.
Ji Xiao was agitated, but he started to struggle violently. Ji Xiao then used his might to push her into his embrace, "I know you're not this kind of person, Wan Wan, he's someone you can't afford to offend. Why would you rather act with him than give me a chance?"
"What kind of person am I in the eyes of the second young master?"
Ye Wanqing asked disheartenedly. She thought, after so many years, she was still stupid in the end. She couldn't see through the man in front of her, and even more so, couldn't see through the heart.
Ji Xiao choked on Ye Wanqing's question, she opened her mouth a few times but no sound came out, as though she wanted to say something, but could not find the best answer.
Ye Wanqing gave up struggling and took a deep breath, as he looked at Ji Xiao with bright eyes: "I am already a Mrs. Gu, and this is not an act. He is very good, and even though our status and position are greatly different, he makes me feel that it's very reliable.
Ye Wanqing explained very clearly and rejected very straightforwardly.
Ji Xiao's face revealed pain, grabbing onto Ye Wanqing's wrist even more tightly. Ye Wanqing lowered his head, and broke open his fingers one by one, then turned and walked towards the hall without hesitation.
As he walked past the garden, he heard a sharp sneer from behind him. "How does it feel to seduce someone else's fiancé at an engagement banquet?"
Ye Wanqing turned around, and saw Ye Zhanxun leaning against the wall, looking at him with a dark and cold gaze.
Ye Wanqing thought about the last time he was kicked and beaten in the hospital, and his stomach started to spasm.
"Young Master Ye, don't speak carelessly without evidence."
