Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Let’s Cancel the Engagement _1

Yan Yue’s eyes lit up as Ruan Tianling took out the necklace. She turned her back to him, and he fastened it around her neck. As her fingers grazed the smooth pearls, she turned back with a smile.

Suddenly, the clasp at the back came loose, and the necklace fell harshly onto the ground, instantly breaking into two pieces!

Staring at the broken necklace on the floor, Yan Yue wore a dreadful expression.

“Oh no, how did it fall!” Yan Yue’s mother scrambled to pick up the necklace, but it had already broken and couldn’t be worn again.

Ruan Tianling’s mother frowned slightly. The necklace suddenly breaking seemed like an ill omen.

A fleeting moment of seriousness crossed Ruan Tianling’s face. He reassured with a smile, “The quality of this necklace was poor. I will buy a better one for Yueyue.”

How could a necklace designed by a top national jewelry store be of poor quality?

It can only be said that her luck was really bad, just happened to drop the necklace on the ground.

Yan Yue smiled and said, “It’s all right. It is broken. I accidentally pulled off the necklace because I used too much force.” freeweɓnøvel.com

Yan Yue’s mother gave her a helpless look, “Careless child, you mustn’t be so careless next time…”

“I’m sorry, I won’t be careless next time,” Yan Yue said with a docile smile.

Since she accidentally broke it herself, there is no such thing as an ill omen. The atmosphere relaxed and this small interlude passed quickly. No one really bothered about it.

Only Yan Yue felt a tad uneasy. Only she knew that she didn’t pull the necklace off. It fell off on its own…

Jian Yufei hadn’t waited long at home when she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door to find Xiao Lang standing outside, instantly noticing her poor complexion.

He walked in, taking her hand and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Come in first.” Jian Yufei closed the door and led him inside.

Sitting on the sofa, she looked up at him, unable to hide the sorrow in her eyes.

“What’s really going on?” Xiao Lang asked impatiently with a furrowed brow.

Jian Yufei lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

“Xiao Lang, let’s cancel our engagement. I can’t marry you.”

“Why?!” Xiao Lang asked in shock, “Yufei, what on earth has happened?”

“Nothing, I’ve just decided I don’t want to get married.”

“You must be hiding something from me! Does this have something to do with Ruan Tianling? Did he threaten you?”

“No.”

Xiao Lang lifted her face to meet his gaze.

His eyes bore into hers, heavy and steady. Under his scrutinizing gaze, her eyes shifted nervously.

“Yufei, I know you’re hiding something from me. Tell me, what happened?”

“Nothing really happened, I just realized we’re not meant for each other. Xiao Lang, can we please cancel our engagement, we can’t be together.”

“Why!” Xiao Lang’s voice grew deeper, “I won’t cancel our engagement unless you tell me the reason! Yufei, no matter what has happened, we can face it together. Don’t hide from me, can you tell me the truth?”

“No!” Jian Yufei pulled away from his hand, her gaze landed on the floor. “Don’t ask anymore. However it is, I won’t be engaged to you. Xiao Lang, I owe you an apology. Please leave.”

Xiao Lang’s face darkened as he stood abruptly, “Well then, I’ll go find Ruan Tianling immediately to settle this! I want to know what exactly he did to you to make you renounce our engagement!”
