Chapter 3
Young Master Is Crushed By A Woman!
Yin Tangyi actually stood up for her? Li Shengxia stared at him in bewilderment. She wondered if this was an act of kindness towards a stranger or an act of nostalgia for a past lover.
The circumstances of their breakup were so bitter, still burning vividly in her mind. Such intense love-hate had shattered everything that was good between them. Why was he not ignoring her completely?
She came to her senses and refused him in a faint voice. “That’s not necessary.”
Nonetheless, he acted as if he did not hear her. Extending his hand in an expectant manner, he gently took her by her fair wrist and repeated, “Let’s go.”
Li Shengxia watched as his lanky figure shrouded her. In his seemingly unruffled gaze, there was a loneliness that could not be concealed.
Her body suddenly trembled slightly. He was still the same as before, but she was not. Her Ah Yi was no longer hers, and she had lost the right to his tenderness.
She broke free of his grasp and told him, “I can walk by myself.”
His empty fingers felt unusually cool, and his gaze at her revealed a subtle restlessness. How he wished she had come here just for him, to see if he still had any lingering regrets. In that case, he would boldly take her hand and run away with her to the ends of the earth. Wherever she went, he would follow!
However… Her eyes showed nothing but clear indifference. When she looked at him, she seemed to be looking at a stranger.
She even said the words he did not want to hear at all.
“It’s your engagement banquet today. Your fiancée is right beside you.”
Yin Tangyi looked at her and said steadily, “I’ll stop the engagement for you.”
He said it so matter-of-factly that Wen Ting’er was stunned! Naturally, Qiu Haitang’s expression turned sour as well! She had gone to such trouble to get her son engaged — how could it be broken off just like that!
Li Shengxia breezily spat out a few words. “I’m sorry, but I’m already married.”
His expression froze for an instant, and he could barely choke out, “Married? How’s that possible?” He was still waiting for her to change her mind. How could she be married?
Wen Ting’er immediately looked delighted, ‘A few days ago, I heard that her stepmother wanted to marry her off to a man she’d never met. Marry off — more like sell off. To think that it’s actually true? Looks like Li Shengxia is being tormented by that person?’
“Since you’ve gotten married, we wish you well,” Wen Ting’er said out loud. ‘Tangyi, don’t you agree?”
Yin Tangyi paid no mind to Wen Ting’er at all, and neither did Li Shengxia. This embarrassed Wen Ting’er to no end and she unconsciously balled her hands into fists.
Yin Tangyi looked a little jittery as he stared at Li Shengxia. “Shengxia, since you’ve come, this means you still care about me…”
Still, Li Shengxia gazed back at him serenely. “I didn’t come here to see you, and I don’t regret the decision I made back then.” Visit n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels
His face stiffened. He could only stare at her dazedly as if this was all just a dream.
Li Shengxia’s heart clenched brutally. She knew that he might be waiting for her to turn back, but in some matters, there was no turning back once a choice had been made.
