“Yaoyao, regarding the annulment of the engagement, I Promise You.”
The balcony fell into silence once more.
After a long while, Shi Yao finally blinked her eyes and began thinking about what Lin Jiage had just said.
Yaoyao, regarding the annulment of the engagement, I Promise You… This wasn’t the first time he had told her about the annulment of the engagement. He promised her that he had said the same thing to her when he was angry at the club the last time.
Compared to the previous time, his tone this time could be said to be gentle. However, Shi Yao didn’t know what was wrong with her. His calm tone, as if he had thought it through thoroughly, made her heart inexplicably flustered.
Are we going to break off our connection just like that?
Shi Yao’s pitch-black eyes darted around in bewilderment for a moment before she slowly turned her head to look at Lin jiage beside her.
The male student seemed to have noticed her gaze, so he tilted his head slightly to meet her eyes.
The wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff had messed up his hair and clothes, but the gaze he was looking at her with was as calm as ever. It only took a few seconds for them to meet each other’s eyes before he spoke once more, a hint of undetectable determination was added to his voice. It wasn’t as if he was speaking to her, but more like he was speaking to himself, “Yaoyao, I promise you that I’ll cancel the engagement.”
Before he could finish his words, Shi Yao felt a sharp pain in the depths of her left chest.
It was really strange. She was the one who wanted to break off the engagement in the first place, and now that he had finally agreed to it, why did her heart ache so much?
She didn’t say a word.
He didn’t wait for her to speak. Instead, he quietly gazed at her for a moment before a faint smile crept up his face, “Yaoyao, from now on, you’ll be free to do whatever you want…”
He was clearly smiling.
Yet, Shi Yao could see a heavy sadness in his smile.
Freedom… That’s right… He was right. Ever since she gradually understood what that engagement meant, she had dreamed countless times that she would be able to be like other girls.., the freedom to choose one’s lover and be loved, how wonderful would that be!
But now, freedom was really here… But why didn’t she feel that it was wonderful at all!
“The things here are all for you. I’ll get someone to send them to your school later…”Lin Jiage turned his head to look at the dining room surrounded by colorful lights, then, he continued moving his lips,”… I still have some other matters to attend to later. I’ll arrange for your sightseeing bus to be at the entrance of the hotel, and my chauffeur is at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. Just tell him where you’re going.”
After a brief pause, Lin Jiage turned to Shi Yao and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying those words, Lin Jiage turned around.
Just as he was about to return to his room, Shi Yao turned around and glanced at Lin Jiage.
Staring at his back, she opened her mouth, wanting to call out to him.
But just as the words were about to leave her mouth, she suppressed them.
Staring at Lin Jiage’s disappearing figure, Shi Yao didn’t say a word. When Lin Jiage reached the entrance of the hotel and opened the door, he suddenly stopped. As though he was waiting for something, he waited for quite some time, but before the young lady behind him could make a move, he walked out of the room, closed the door, and left.
