She could only run away from the engagement ceremony.

So, she felt quite sorry for him...

"I won’t blame you."

Huh?

You won’t blame me? Even though I caused such an embarrassment in public, you don’t feel like you lost face?

Li Haochen looked at her with a smile, "I’m serious, I won’t blame you, and my family won’t blame you either!"

"Why?" Xia Yuan asked.

"Because..."

"Even if you hadn’t run away, I would have."

Xia Yuan was a bit confused for a moment, what’s the situation?

"Yuanyuan, actually, I’ve always treated you like a sister. To be honest, I have a girlfriend."

Xia Yuan: "??"

"Just like your situation, I knew nothing before the engagement. On the day of the engagement, I just returned from a business trip in a foreign country and was suddenly informed of the engagement with you. I was shocked too. I have a girlfriend, and we’ve been dating for years. I was planning to introduce her to my parents. If you hadn’t run, I would’ve run within ten minutes..."

Listening to this, Xia Yuan was completely unprepared for such a development, no wonder Uncle Li’s attitude was so strange today.

"Did you, explain it to Uncle and Aunt?"

"Yes." Li Haochen nodded, "I told them I have someone, and I brought her back. My parents are very satisfied. You have your own thoughts; I don’t want to be tied together just like this. If you’re not happy, I’m not happy, don’t you think?"

"Exactly! My dad wouldn’t listen to me. You know, if the engagement had really happened, the sister-in-law would be so aggrieved by now. By the way, Haochen, when are you going to invite the sister-in-law for a meal? I’m really curious about the person who caught your heart."

His taste is quite selective. With those rich young men surrounded by beauties, wasting the family’s money every day, Li Haochen is different. He hasn’t dated much since he was young.

Though this seems a bit off, as only idle people would act like that.

"I’ll let you meet her when there’s a chance. Don’t just focus on me; aren’t you known as the little directionally challenged one? Where have you been running these days?"

Speaking about where she’s been these days, Xia Yuan thought of Xu Kun, recalling his face full of restrained anger, inexplicably making her want to laugh.

She couldn’t hold it back and directly laughed out loud.

Li Haochen silently looked at her, "This little girl just came back not long ago, and already likes someone?"

Xia Yuan blushed, "I’m not a little girl anymore, okay? Can you stop calling me like when I was a kid!"

"Okay, okay, tell me, who is it, I’ll give you some advice."

Xia Yuan bit her lip, thinking of Xu Kun, feeling warmth in her heart, "Hmm... He still doesn’t know I like him. I haven’t even had the chance to tell him before being brought back."

"Oh? So you’ve been living with him during this time? I’m becoming more curious, who is this person!"

Xia Yuan: "His name is Xu Kun."

Upon hearing this, Li Haochen was stunned, recalling something suddenly, and said, "The vice president of Beichen Group?"

"You know him?" Xia Yuan looked surprised, she didn’t expect him to know Xu Kun.

"Yes, I saw him once at a business banquet before. But with enterprises like ours, opportunities to interact with him are scarce. You liking him, Uncle should not agree, as far as I know, Xu Kun is one of the major shareholders of Beichen Group, and Uncle hopes you find someone of equal status, he won’t let you be with someone from such a big group."
