After eating lunch, Shi Yao accompanied Liang Mumu to tour the shops. From time to time, Liang Mumu would turn to Shi Yao and ask, "Does this look good on me?". In response to that, Shi Yao would only nod in agreement. However, when Liang Mumu said that she wanted to rest for a moment, Shi Yao turned to her immediately. With eyes beaming with excitement, she suggested that they head to HoneyMoon Dessert 1 on the second floor.
Knowing that Shi Yao's expertise was eating and her interest was eating as well, Liang Mumu shot Shi Yao a 'there's really nothing I can do about you' gaze before heading over to the second floor with her.
While savoring the dessert, Liang Mumu chatted with Shi Yao, and it didn't take long for the conversation to turn to Lin Jiage.
"Yaoyao, is there a problem between you and Brother Jia?"
Shi Yao's mouth was stuffed with food when Liang Mumu suddenly asked this question. She was taken aback for a moment before she shook her head to deny it.
From the very start, other than the fact that she and Lin Jiage were in a child betrothal decided by their grandparents, they never interacted with each other. Therefore, how could there possibly be a problem between them?
"No problems?" Liang Mumu's carefully drawn eyebrows knitted together as confusion flickered through her eyes. "Yaoyao, you're my closest friend. You shouldn't lie to me."
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Shi Yao turned to Liang Mumu and said earnestly, "I'm not lying to you. I really don't have a problem with him."
"Then why didn't you greet each other when we met at SKP the other day? Why did he pretend that he didn't know you?" Liang Mumu asked as she tilted her face contemplatively. Soon, a thought struck her, and she asked, "Is this some kind of play between you two?"
Play, your head... But since Shi Yao's mouth was still stuffed with food, she couldn't say a word.
Hearing no response, Liang Mumu thought that her guess was spot-on, "I didn't expect to see you guys doing such a unique play. How interesting!
"But Yaoyao, it was Valentine's Day yesterday. Didn't Brother Jia spend the day with you?
"Tell me honestly, did Brother Jia give you a huge Valentine's Day present? What was it?
"Considering how rich Brother Jia's household is, he must have given you plenty of good stuff, right? Watch? Bag? Shoes? Dress? Or was it a huge bouquet of roses? What color were the roses? Were they pink or red?
"Yaoyao—"
Under Liang Mumu's relentless questioning, Shi Yao had no choice but to stop eating temporarily.
Valentine's Day... When had she ever spent a Valentine's Day with Lin Jiage?
As for presents... they had known each other for so many years, but putting aside a present, he'd never even treated her to a bottle of mineral water, a lollipop, or even a bag of spicy gluten, let alone a bag, a shoe, a dress, a watch, or a bouquet of roses... Well, those things weren't as attractive as a bottle of mineral water, a lollipop, and a bag of spicy gluten anyway...
At this point, Shi Yao stared at Liang Mumu with a solemn expression and asked, "Mumu, are you sure you're talking about Lin Jiage here?"
"Of course I am! Other than calling him Brother Jia, have you seen me calling someone else 'brother' before?"
"Since that's the case, you must be telling a cold joke then? Your cold joke sure isn't funny. But speaking of cold, I still feel like eating a little more..." Halfway through her words, Shi Yao raised her hand to beckon a waitress over and ordered, "Waitress, Mango Glutinous Dumpling, Snow White Sago, Mango Pudding, Durian Pancake, Black Glutinous Rice With Mango in Vanilla Sauce, two portions each..."
Liang Mumu was beginning to feel a little frustrated with Shi Yao, so she massaged her temples and asked with a heavier tone, "Yaoyao, talk to me seriously or else I'm going to get angry!"
But in truth, Shi Yao wasn't playing around either. She'd been serious the entire time...
Shi Yao fell silent for a brief moment before she faced Liang Mumu with a solemn gaze and said, "Mumu, I'm canceling my engagement with him."
"What?" Shocked by the sudden announcement, Liang Mumu was completely stunned.
A moment later, it seemed like Liang Mumu still couldn't take in Shi Yao's words as she asked, "Yaoyao, what do you mean by that? Cancel your engagement with him?"
"It just means that I want to cancel my engagement with Lin Jiage," Shi Yao replied honestly.
Her tone was extremely composed and serious, and there were no signs that she was joking.
Liang Mumu stared at Shi Yao for a very long time. A myriad of emotions flickered across her face before she finally moved her lips, "Yaoyao, do you know what you're saying?"
Shi Yao nodded. "I do."
Liang Mumu: "Did Brother Jia bring up the cancelation? Does Grandpa Lin know about it? If Grandpa Lin found out, Brother Jia will be in for another beating again..."
Shi Yao shook her head. "He wasn't the one who brought it up, I did. I'll tell Grandpa Lin myself that I'm not interested in marrying Lin Jiage, that way Grandpa Lin won't blame him for this matter."
Hearing those words, Liang Mumu exclaimed in shock, "You were the one who brought it up?!"
"Mm," Shi Yao replied. A moment later, she continued, "Actually, the reason why I never talked about him in front of you isn't because I wanted to hide our relationship from you. It's just that there really is nothing between us."
"Mumu, did you know? From the moment I learned about the child betrothal six years ago until now, the number of times we've met can easily be counted with my fingers. The total time we've spent together is probably no more than an hour. To tell you the truth, he wasn't pretending that he didn't know me back at SKP that day. He really didn't recognize me at all."
After hearing Shi Yao's long speech, Liang Mumu asked, "Is this the reason why you want to cancel your engagement?"
"That's not really it."
"Then why?"
Lowering her gaze, a tinge of red spread across Shi Yao's face as she replied, "It's a secret."
Liang Mumu wasn't one to give up easily, but despite interrogating her for a very long time, Shi Yao showed no signs of coming clean. Eventually, she had no choice but to let it rest.
Usually, Liang Mumu would spend the entire day with Shi Yao, and they would only part ways after the sun had set. This time, however, Liang Mumu actually offered to bring Shi Yao back to her campus right after finishing their dessert.
Shi Yao casually asked why Liang Mumu didn't want to shop anymore, and Liang Mumu replied that she wasn't feeling well. Shi Yao could tell that she was lying, but she chose not to expose her, thinking that her friend might have an emergency that wasn't convenient for her to know about. Thus, she went along with Liang Mumu and returned to her campus.
After having dinner, Shi Yao took a look at her messages again.
Lin Jiage still hadn't replied.
Feeling that there was nothing she could do about it, she tapped into WeChat and went into the [Sexy and Frisky] group to send a message: [Does anyone want to play?]
Shortly after sending the message, the phone in her hand vibrated, and a notification alarm for her messages rang out.
Shi Yao swiftly tapped open her messages.
Lin Jiage had finally messaged back after several days.
