“Spit it out, why did you come to find me?”

Xie Shi continued watching Xie Mu being wheeled away on his chair disappearing from his line of sight as turned around the corner. It made him feel restless as he turned his attention to Zhen Ying. 

His attitude made Zhen Ying slightly confused, the look in her eyes became timider, her voice quieted down a bit, “I just wanted to see you just for a little bit, we haven’t seen each other for a very long time.”

The impatience in the youth’s eye grew.

“Didn’t I tell you I was busy? If you have nothing to do, why don’t you go back to the company? Don’t you feel like you have loads of free time, staying at home every day?”

His tone wasn’t very harsh, but the edges of Zhen Ying’s eyes reddened slightly. 

In the past few days, she felt wronged without her gentle boyfriend who used to be with herald the time. Now that she swallowed her pride and came to his door to find him, not only did she not received an apology, it was as if she was being reprimanded for doing something wrong.

Zhen Ying was pampered throughout her life, how could she tolerate this behaviour. Her voice was choked and aggrievedly said, “Didn’t you say before, you would always be with me…”

Xie Shi wasn’t planing on coaxing her, his patience was always directed onto others instead. Now that Xie Mu easily handed Xie family over to him. The Zhen family became as worthless as chicken ribs, unappetizing but not bad enough to be thrown away. Just like a little princess that needs to be constantly comforted, Zhen Ying had no more use. 

“That was before, now that I’ve taken over the company, I don’t have the time to keep you accompany.” 

“If you don’t have time for me, why do you time to help your Uncle to get a book!” Zhen Ying thought about what she saw and heard just now, she questioned, “It’s broad daylight right now, and you haven’t gone back to the company for work, is this what you mean by busy?”

“You just don’t want to be with me…”

Zhen Ying tears fell down one after another, “Are you ever going to agree to the engagement between us?’ 

Xie Shi raised his eyebrow slightly, and asked “We had an engagement?” 

The girl who was still crying immediately froze.

She couldn’t believe the man standing in front of her, his face didn’t change as if he said anything equally as mundane, “You were previously engaged with my Uncle, but that was already cancelled. You won’t be engaged with him again.”

Zhen Ying widened her eyes at his words, “Xie Shi, what do you mean, didn’t you say you wanted to marry me…”

“I did say that, but now I regret it.” 

Xie Shi smiled, it was an elegant expression, “We are still quite young, who haven’t regretted things they’ve said before. It was me who didn’t know much back then, I thought I could spend the rest of my life with you, but now that I think about it, we are still too young. Especially because you were engaged to my uncle, if we were to be together, it doesn’t seem proper.”

“You….”

His attitude was aggravating, Zhen Ying lips stuttered “you” for a long time before she could squeeze out a sentence, “How could you break off our engagement! Before you– we….”

“Ms Zhen.”
