"Where are you rushing off to? We still haven’t chosen a ring or tried on wedding dresses." Ye Chenfeng stroked his cheek with a hand that showed no signs of lowering, seemingly longing for something more.

"Stop saying such things! When did I agree to do any of this with you?!" She shouted, "If you keep pestering me, it’s no good for either of us, and we’re nothing but strangers."

People who frequent high-end royal restaurants must certainly be extraordinary figures. How could she meddle with such individuals? Even if she wanted to, she neither had the energy nor the interest.

"So, are you willing to give me a chance? I..." He looked sincere, ready to continue, but she interrupted him mercilessly, blurting out, "Mr. Ye!!"

He picked up a hint of anger in her voice and immediately toned down, gently asking, "Qian Qian, do you think we started off too fast?"

"Mr. Ye! Please don’t impose your thoughts and affections on me! It’s not that I think we started too fast; it was a mistake! Just pretend we never met, okay?" Xia Qingqian was trembling in anger, her hands clenched into fists. She thought to herself, if he uttered any more pointless words, she’d punch him without hesitation!

"What, you don’t like it? Don’t women all want men to offer them a happy future? I thought what I did would touch your heart..." Ye Chenfeng sounded disappointed. Was his approach wrong? Since he met her, he’d been trying to find her until today, when he received information that Beitang Yao would bring her here to dine. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He finally seized a chance to express his feelings, only for her to hear nothing, constantly rejecting him, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.

"Ha, Mr. Ye, do you think I would appreciate such arrangements? My happiness doesn’t need to be given by you. My future has nothing to do with you." She shuffled toward the car window, afraid he’d act like before and grab her to do as he pleased!

"Oh my, such a direct rejection, doesn’t the little beauty fear I might be hurt?" Ye Chenfeng chuckled lightly, watching her dodge him like evading a beast, a sense of desolation weighing on his heart.

"I really have nothing to say to you, Mr. Ye. If you want to get married, please look for someone else." How much longer before he’d let her out of the car, stop bothering her?

Ye Chenfeng no longer wanted to exchange nonsense with Xia Qingqian and drove off, smiling at her as he said, "But it’s you I like; how could I go looking for other women? Would you bear that?"

"Where are you going? Stop the car! I want to get out!" Xia Qingqian cursed Ye Chenfeng’s ancestors up to the eighteenth generation! Yet her heart was even more anxious; she babbled with Ye Chenfeng so long, just waiting for Beitang Yao to appear! But now Ye Chenfeng had driven away, and Beitang Yao hadn’t come!

She was so anxious, unsure what to do! If Beitang Yao returned and didn’t find her, he’d certainly be furious! Yet she couldn’t shake off Ye Chenfeng!

Xia Qingqian thought, right now Beitang Yao is probably enjoying himself, how would he care about her predicament?
