Vol. 1 - Ch. 50 - My engagement is going to be publicly annulled

As if sensing something was wrong, the three turned to look behind. However, they were struck in the stomach before anything.One after another, they dropped to the ground, overcome with a nauseating sensation.

Without saying anything, the person stuffed something unknown into their mouths before pouring water down their throats.

Their expressions turned to sheer horror as they gazed upon the waiter who had led them to this place, now consumed by an even greater sense of dread.

"Who... who are you?"

"Do you know who we are?"

"Let us go now!"

Hearing their pleas, the waiter calmly set up equipment on a table nearby.

The three were overcome by a scorching heat as if their sanity was being devoured by fire.

"What are you doing?"

One of them, struggling against losing sanity, reached out to the waiter. However, the waiter casually threw them onto Zhou LiLi's bed.

The overwhelming fragrance of Zhou LiLi's perfume was like a potent trigger to them. Their eyes became a fiery red, filled with lust, and they aggressively grabbed hold of Zhou LiLi's dress, ripping it into shreds.

Their hands continued to grope back and forth on the tempting body, and one even removed their trousers, ready to liberate their desires.

While watching this scene, the waiter appeared uninterested. He took out a phone and placed it on the table.

The phone's camera perfectly captured every scene detail, and the waiter walked calmly outside.

He had found something interesting on Zhou LiLi's phone.

......

"Just stay quiet and stand by later. Do not say anything at all."

The man looked at his daughter. Although the red marks on her face were striking, she was still his daughter. As a father, how could he not consider her feelings?

Lee Tian glanced over to Han ShuYi's position, and their eyes met.

(Tl: LiYue's father's name is also the same as Han LiTian, so I'll use Lee instead of Li to avoid confusion/ Lee is the surname, and Tian is his name)

Han ShuYi bowed respectfully to Lee Tian, which made Lee Tian very pleased. He had always disliked Han HuMing, who dared to confess to someone else despite having his daughter as his betrothed.

With Han HuMing out of the picture, Lee Tian saw no reason to extend any courtesy towards him. Today, he had decided to publicly declare the annulment of LiYue and Han HuMing's engagement.

Regardless, he was satisfied with Han ShuYi, and Han HuMing had no more value. Everyone knew that his daughter was about to be engaged to Han HuMing. As a result, he wanted to annul the engagement in front of everyone to feel completely satisfied.

Although Lee Tian was unaware of the details, Madam Han clearly heard his words and did not object. It was essentially confirmation of the matter, wasn't it?

He looked around but couldn't find HuMing anywhere, which brought down his excitement. His original intention was for HuMing to humiliate himself in front of everyone.

LiYue hurried to Han ShuYi's side, excited about the upcoming announcement.

"ShuYi, what if HuMing gets angry?"

"It's fine. I'll apologize to him later."

"Actually, it's not your fault. I... I want to do this. I want to tell everyone that I like you."

In LiYue's heart, Han Shuyi had long surpassed HuMing. Furthermore, given Madam Han's affection for Han ShuYi, she believed Han ShuYi was her destined partner.

She had long forgotten the advice HuMing had given her.

Although she still felt some guilt towards HuMing, it was negligible.

...

Han YunXi found HuMing standing on the large balcony of the banquet hall.

HuMing leaned casually against the stone railing, and his eyes fixed on the scenery in the distance.

Seeing this, she sighed with relief and quickly walked over.

"Brother, I've been looking for you all over!"

HuMing remained silent. Han YunXi found herself perplexed by his changed demeanor. He appeared gloomy, a stark contrast to his previous self.

"Brother?"

Han YunXi approached him, her face filled with worry. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"I'm fine. I only needed some fresh air; the inside was too stuffy."

"Your tone doesn't sound fine! Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll help you to get back at them!"

Han YunXi rolled up her dress sleeve, which seemed out of place, given her elegant attire. HuMing, on the other hand, pulled her sleeve back down and gently tapped her on the head.

"Silly, it would look inappropriate if someone saw this."

"Then tell me, what happened?!"

Under the starry night, Han YunXi appeared very anxious, and noticing her concerned face, HuMing couldn't help but smile.

"YunXi, my engagement is going to be publicly annulled."

The air seemed to have frozen.

Han Yunxi'sX mouth slightly opened, unable to find the words.

But the annulment was a private matter between the Han and Lee families; why announce it publicly?

Wasn't this intentionally causing HuMing to be humiliated?

"Brother, how did you know?"

"KangXin told me."

HuMing smiled faintly, leaning on the railing, yet his smile failed to reflect in his eyes.

Han YunXi overcame a sudden wave of confusion, and her body began to tremble involuntarily. But she soon came to the realization, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"You mean Mother? Mother agreed to this?!"

"Of course, Madam Han wants her son to be the center of attention, so my sacrifice is necessary."

HuMing patted her shoulder as if to comfort her.

However, HuMing's gesture felt like a harsh slap in her face. She only felt a burning sensation on her face.

Could her mother really do such a thing?

For a moment, Han YunXi was lost in confusion.

Meanwhile, inside the hall, someone started spreading the news that HuMing and Zhou LiLi were missing.

Some even said they saw HuMing and Zhou LiLi going in the same direction, and such news naturally reached the ears of the Han family.

Han LiTian and Madam Han's expressions changed dramatically, but their emotions differed.

Han LiTian's expression became serious, with a hint of worry, whereas Madam Han's expression changed to disgust, her chest heaving with rage.

She firmly grasped Han LiTian's arm, her voice filled with anger.

"Look at this. I told you not to bring him here. Every time we come to such places, he causes us trouble. Haven't we cleaned up after him enough over the years?"

"Nothing has yet to happen. Can't you just hope for the best for HuMing?"

Han LiTian's tone was stern, dissatisfied with his wife's attitude.

But this time, Madam Han was defiant.

"This is ShuYi's first time attending such a banquet. If HuMing causes trouble, won't ShuYi become everyone's laughingstock? Can you bear to have your son be ridiculed?"

Han LiTian fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

Suddenly, the elegant music in the hall stopped abruptly. Everyone came to a halt and looked around in confusion.

But the next moment, the sound of embarrassing moans and heavy breathing filled the air.

"Han... HuMing..."

At the mere mention of this name, the crowd's emotions were set ablaze instantly!
