"I'm not helping you decide. I'm just..."
You want to break off the engagement.
What does it mean that she wants to break off the engagement?
The two of them had no feelings for each other. Their marriage was arranged by their parents' generation. When it was decided, she hadn't even been born yet, and the cancellation of the marriage had no impact on him.
Xin Gan subconsciously pursed her lips and said, "Just consider it as my call off the engagement."
Ok. I'll see you off. Cheng Jiu asked calmly, "Exactly on which day will you leave?"
Her voice weakened, somewhat lacking in confidence: "Three days later."
"Ok. I'll pick you up then."
Cheng Jiu said nothing more. He turned and left, his back cold.
Xin Gan returned to the room and didn't expect it to be so easy. Did you agree?
She couldn't believe that Cheng Jiu was so easy to get along with.
But she still didn't dare to tell her family about this. She had only verbally agreed with Cheng Jiu to break off the marriage first, but she felt she had no confidence in what to do next.
...
Cheng Jiu drove back to the team, his face looking gloomy and in a bad mood.
He was in such a state that even Xiao Shi wanted to avoid him. But after taking just a few steps, he was noticed by him and called out to him.
Come here.
Xiao Shi was on the verge of tears but had no one to shed. As soon as he turned around, his expression changed immediately and he pretended to be calm, asking, "Brother Jiu, you're back. So early?"
Cheng Jiu took a cigarette and bit it, looking rather mischievous. In his hand, he was playing with a metal lighter. He raised his eyes and glanced at him, saying, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Zhao Que's place."
Cheng Jiu: "..."
Xiao Shi: "..."
Their eyes met. Xiao Shi felt uneasy and took a few steps back, patting his head and laughing, "Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you?"
What would you do if your girlfriend broke up with you?
"Girlfriend?" I don't have a girlfriend... Xiao Shi is not very embarrassed.
Cheng Jiu's face darkened even more. "Let me give you an example."
"Well, then let's break it up."
"..."
Xiao Shi felt that Cheng Jiu's face had become even darker and more gloomy. He immediately changed his mind and said, "No, no. No matter how much you pester him, you still can't get along."
Cheng Jiu lifted his leg and kicked him, "Get out of here quickly."
Xiao Shi managed to slip away. Later, he found it strange. Cheng Jiu had never asked such topics before, but in the team, they were all men. From time to time, they would be asked about their life's major events, and Cheng Jiu was no exception. He never answered each time, pretending to be profound. But just now, he actually asked such a bizarre question...
...
Xiao Shi took this matter as a joke and forgot about it as soon as he told Zhao Que and Jiang Yang. Less than half an hour later, Jiang Yang told Jiang Tang about it and said, "A Tang, I think you're in danger. I've heard before that Jiu Ge seems to have a fiancee arranged by his family. Not many people know about this."
Jiang Tang knew nothing about this matter. "Why have I never heard of it?"
I think Brother Jiu doesn't like being arranged in a marriage. Otherwise, why would he come all the way from Yongcheng to Beiyu right after graduation?
Jiang Tang felt confident and said, "Jiang Yang, do me a favor. Go to the inn and pick up Miss Xin for me. Just say I invited her over."
Are you sure?
"Well, I think she is Cheng Jiu's fiancee."
...
When Xin Gan saw Jiang Yang, after hearing what he said, he politely declined. But he couldn't resist Jiang Yang's repeated invitations. He even brought out Cheng Jiu and said, "Actually, it was Brother Jiu who asked me to come and pick you up. If you don't go, I won't be able to handle the matter. Miss Xin, please help."
Xin Gan was still lost in thought on the way. Why did Cheng Jiu ask Jiang Yang to pick her up? They had just agreed during the day, but just a few hours later, someone came to pick her up. Was there anything else that needed to be made clear to her face to face?
