Cupid's Assistant

Chapter 42

"Heh, what kind of game are you playing? Are you trying to strengthen your business connection? Don't try to put this upon me. Why don't you give this marriage alliance to your other son? Ah, I see. You don't want to ruin your love child's life. Everyone knows how much you love that son of yours" Feng Yichen scoffed.

"Watch your mouth," Feng Muchen barked.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to hit your sore spot," Feng Yichen mocked. "But don't drag me with you," he said deadly.

"Ah...Mr. Feng, it seems like you guys have things to discuss about... We can talk about the arrangement later," Han Xin Yin's father said, awkwardly standing up.

"Ah, no. Sit down. I do apologize for Feng Yichen's behavior. We can continue," Feng Muchen gave a fake business attitude. " Sit down," Feng Muchen sharply said to Feng Yichen.

"Ha, don't think you can force me," Feng Yichen said, turning to leave.

Immediately, Han Xin Yin stood up, "Feng Yichen," she called out to him, looking at him with pleading eyes.

Feng Yichen gave out a cold glance at her before exiting the doors.

It didn't take long before the next few hours, the news of Feng Yichen and Han Xin Yin's engagement was in the headlines. Soon, everyone knew and heard it.

Li Chyou had dropped her phone as she was in some shock,

"Chyou, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Xiaodan said, looking over to her.

"Ahh... yeah...," she said dryly and slowly picked up her phone and placed it on her desk. She tightly gripped her hands together before touching her lips. She then lowered her head and felt a great sense of sadness and a bit of betrayal in her heart.

"Chyou," Xiaodan said, coming up to her and patting her shoulders. "What's wrong? You don't look so good," Xiaodan said.

"Ah.., nothing. I'm fine," she said quietly. "I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower and head to bed," she added, quietly entering the bathroom.

Xiaodan wondered what happened and opened her phone to see the news about Feng Yichen and Han Xin Yin's engagement.

"Just great. Just when these two have something going on. He is now engaged to another. That explains why he headed home today. He's probably forced into marriage by his parents. " Xiaodan thought as she slowly shook her head in stress.

Soon, Li Chyou exited the restroom, and Xiaodan sat up from her bed. "Chyou, don't get disheartened by the news. This is probably fake news, and if it's true. He is probably being forced," Xiaodan tried to comfort her.

"Yeah...," Li Chyou gave a tiny smile before getting in her bed and rolling to her side as her back was facing Xiaodan.

Xiaodan took a deep sigh as she thought about what to do.

"Chyou-" Xiaodan tried to speak as the next day arrived, while Li Chyou was packing her stuff in her bag.

"We should get to class," Li Chyou interrupted as class had once again resumed.

"Ah...okay," Xiaodan said. Since Li Chyou didn't want to talk, she didn't continue any further.

On their way to class, once they exited the dorm building, they bumped into Feng Yichen, who was leaning on the building as he was waiting for them.

"Ah, Feng Yichen. What brings you here?" Xiaodan said. Feng Yichen straightened up once he saw them.

He took a glance at Xiaodan before looking straight at Li Chyou. "I need to talk to Chyou," he said.

"Oh, well, I'll leave you two. Chyou, I'll meet you in class-" Xiaodan tried to say and leave, but Li Chyou stopped her.

"There's nothing for us to talk about. Let's go, Xiaodan," Li Chyou interrupted and tried to walk past Feng Yichen, but he immediately latched onto her wrist.

"Chyou," he looked at her. "We need to talk," he said sincerely.

"We don't have anything to talk about. Excuse me," she said, trying to leave, but he refused to lose his grip.

"Chyou," he said once again.

"Stop saying my name," Li Chyou said, getting upset with her cheeks turning red. She yanked her wrist away from him and quickly ran off. Xiaodan looked at the back of Li Chyou and then to Feng Yichen, who had a sad longing in his eyes. She gave out a comforting smile to him before she went after Li Chyou.

"Chyou, wait up," Xiaodan said. "I do think that you and Feng Yichen should talk. You two have things to clear up with each other," Xiaodan added, trying to pick up her pace with Li Chyou.

Li Chyou continued to walk fast to class. "There's nothing to talk about-" she tried to say. Once she stepped foot in class, she was splashed by cold water.
