“Why hasn’t she returned to the capital? How should I know? Maybe she went somewhere for a vacation?”
“It is definitely impossible for Yun Er to go on a vacation!” Wang Xixuan immediately retorted, not agreeing with what Dongfang Ming said.
He knew his own little sister very well. She definitely wouldn’t go and stay for a few days somewhere that Dongfang Ming wasn’t!
Ming Yan saw his master being blamed and he took the initiative to speak. “Young Master Wang, why can’t it be possible that your sister went vacationing somewhere? No matter what, she is already not a child and it is her freedom to go wherever she wants!”
“Perhaps Miss Wang would always follow Master in the past. However, why isn’t it possible that she changed? Perhaps she is fed up or she finally realized Master is not interested in her so she chose not to drag it on. It would be perfectly normal for her to go on vacation somewhere!”
Wang Xixuan heard him and his frown immediately became so intense it could squeeze a mosquito to death. “You don’t have the right to speak, servant! I am talking to your master so you better shut up!”
Wang Xixuan was usually quite gentle. As he had a good relationship with Dongfang Ming and had a lot of interactions with him, he had never looked down on Ming Yan.
It was clear he was really worried about Wang Xiangyun from what he said to Ming Yan just now. His heart was full of anger and he no longer had his usual kindness.
Dongfang Ming frowned and was unhappy with Wang Xixuan calling Ming Yan a servant!
In his eyes, Ming Yan was like his own brother.
“Brother Wang, I can understand your feelings right now, but Ming Yan is one of my people. I hope you can be more careful when you speak!”
Ming Yan felt touched and blessed when he saw his master protecting him. It truly was a stroke of unbelievably good luck that he could meet such a nice master.
“As for why your sister hasn’t returned, I do not know as I am not a god. Once she comes back, I will clear up the situation about the engagement. This has dragged on too long and it is about time for it to come to a close!”
He didn’t want to keep dragging it on. If it weren’t for Wang Xixuan’s sake, why would he have endured it for so long?
Truly, indecision invariably leads to trouble!
When Wang Xixuan heard him, he became so angry he ferociously punched the table with his fist.
He was so angry he was going to go crazy!
How could he not know his sister would go crazy if he really canceled the engagement? She might even have suicidal thoughts!
“Dongfang Ming, you clearly know my little sister loves you to death. Wouldn’t you be taking her life if you do this? How can you be so cruel!”
“What would you do if you were forced to marry someone you didn’t love?” Dongfang Ming still looked at the fiery Wang Xixuan with a calm, unhurried gaze.
What would he do if he were forced to marry someone he didn’t love?
Wang Xixuan was momentarily speechless. He opened his mouth but he didn’t know what to say.
He muttered silently in his heart, If it were me in this situation, maybe I would do what Brother Dongfang is doing? Also, I might have canceled the engagement long ago.
Wang Xixuan became more frustrated when he thought about this and he said with a weaker tone, “Brother Dongfang, I know it is difficult to marry someone you do not love, but Yun Er is outstanding and is worthy for you to like her, worthy for you to love her. Can’t you just try to accept her? Yun Er, she…”
Before he even finished, Dongfang didn’t hold himself back and interrupted straight away by asking back at him, “If it were you, could you?”
He couldn’t help it if he didn’t like her and he couldn’t help it if he didn’t love her. How could such things be forced?
If he really forced it, in the end, it would only end up hurting both of them.
He really didn’t want to continue to put this off anymore, not even for one moment!
Wang Xixuan was once again speechless. He didn’t want to accept what Dongfang Ming had said but he wasn’t able to refute him.
Dispirited, he shook his head. “I couldn’t.”
