Ning Ruixin suddenly felt that she was losing her momentum?
She immediately felt displeased, sweeping her gaze: “Sit.”
Shen Qiao’an raised an eyebrow and compliantly sat down across from her.
…That’s more like it.
Ning Ruixin was satisfied, cleared her throat, and said, “Thanks again for your help in dismantling the base.”
“No need to thank me, it was part of my job.” Shen Qiao’an glanced at her.
“Actually, I used to think you were pretty unreliable, but now my impression of you has somewhat changed.” Ning Ruixin thought of the man’s performance over the past days and had to admit that she still admired certain qualities in him.
At the very least, this man’s intelligence was indeed high, with precise judgment.
Shen Qiao’an smirked: “Is that so? What was your impression of me before?”
“…Let’s not talk about the past.” Ning Ruixin adjusted her posture, “I want to discuss our engagement.”
Shen Qiao’an’s brow twitched, his gaze slightly narrowed: “Oh, are you planning to schedule the wedding?”
“No, no, no, not at all.” Ning Ruixin quickly waved her hands, “Quite the opposite, I want to cancel the engagement.”
Shen Qiao’an’s hand slowly tightened, he looked up, his face expressionless, but suddenly a sharp glint burst from those glass-like eyes.
Ning Ruixin was startled: “What’s wrong?”
Shen Qiao’an’s gaze darkened, and he spoke hoarsely: “You want to cancel the engagement? Why?”
“I’m thinking of you, too,” Ning Ruixin considered, “I never thought I’d become President so soon. You know, once you become President, you basically have no personal life because your family, your every move, must set an example. As my husband, you would lose the chance to enjoy yourself and would have to act deeply in love with me. I think, well, that’s too much to ask of you.”
Shen Qiao’an let out a “heh”: “But canceling the engagement at this juncture…aren’t you afraid of being buried by public opinion?”
“It’s fine, our marriage hasn’t been announced to the public. My team was quite wise to conceal it from the start,” Ning Ruixin said seriously, “So handling it would be rather convenient. As long as you’re willing, I’ll handle our parents. I imagine your father wouldn’t want you living in my shadow either.”
Shen Qiao’an looked at her coldly, not speaking for a long time.
Ning Ruixin was baffled by his overly sharp gaze.
Feeling somewhat guilty even.
“If you have any opinions, feel free to share them, we can discuss it slowly.” Ning Ruixin swallowed.
“My opinion?” Shen Qiao’an chuckled softly, “My opinion is, I disagree.”
Ning Ruixin was taken aback and said: “Why? Haven’t you always disliked me, and loathed this engagement?”
Shen Qiao’an’s pupils slightly contracted.
He suddenly chuckled: “That’s right, but…that was before. I’ve waited for you for a full five years, just when I’m about to marry the esteemed Madam President, and you want me to break off the engagement? I would be at a huge loss.”
Ning Ruixin was momentarily stunned, somewhat incredulous: “You…really feel this way?”
“Of course.” He smiled, his gaze dark, his voice hoarse, “I’m very much looking forward to being a loving couple with you.”
