He never expected the call to be from his quiet fiancée all the way in Canada!
"Is that you?" His voice was slightly dim.
"Yeah," Cheng Tingting snatched Ya Jiayi’s phone with one hand, while the other hand, out of sheer boredom, played with her brightly painted nails as she sat on the couch, "I was just feeling bored, so I came from Canada to see you. You’ve traveled over the ocean to get here... What a search it’s been!"
At first, she had no desire to "substitute" for her sister, who had run away from the wedding, and become Situ Xuan’s fiancée!
But the Cheng Family had already agreed with Situ Xuan that one of their daughters must become his fiancée, whether it was Jian Anning or her, Cheng Tingting!
Cheng Tingting was naturally unwilling, even if the other party was the head of the Situ Family, wealthy enough to rival countries!
Moreover, she had agreed to the marriage using her sister’s name "Moon Cheng", and with the arrogance of always believing she was above everyone else, how could she possibly swallow this insult!
But what she didn’t expect was how perfunctory the other party was about this marriage!
Not only did Situ Xuan not show up on the engagement day, but after the engagement, he simply ran off to Huaxia Country, thousands of miles away!
Cheng Tingting was the epitome of a prideful and arrogant dame. People could only be dumped by her, she wouldn’t stand being dumped by someone else! Initially, she had zero interest in the man her sister didn’t want—Situ Xuan. Yet, Situ Xuan’s attitude only served to pique her interest!
So, there she was in Situ Xuan’s villa, legs comfortably crossed, her face covered in heavy makeup beaming with a determination to win: "Are you coming over, or shall I—go to your workplace and have a look myself? My future, husband?"
She deliberately pronounced each syllable of "future husband", causing Situ Xuan’s eyes to subtly shrink!
He had never been coerced in his life, let alone by a fiancée he had never even taken seriously.
Since it was just an engagement, it meant that he had the possibility to call it off!
"I understand. I’ll come." He glanced at the puzzled Jian Anning next to him, sensing a strong premonition in that instant!
He absolutely, absolutely couldn’t let Jian Anning know he was engaged!
If she ever found out that he had a fiancée and that he had even considered marriage, given Jian Anning’s temperament, she would never have anything to do with him again!
After hanging up the call, Jian Anning indeed asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, a bit of an emergency that I need to take care of," Situ Xuan replied suavely, even with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"You have an emergency?" Jian Anning naturally wouldn’t disturb his work and immediately said, "Then you should go ahead."
Situ Xuan nodded, then abruptly seemed to recall something: "And as for you and Yu Zexiao..."
There was a hint of unease in his voice.
Indeed, she hadn’t agreed to immediately reconcile with Yu Zexiao, but she also hadn’t agreed to be with Situ Xuan, had she?
Thanks to the generous rewards from "Antarctic Meimei"~~ The focal point is coming tomorrow! The shameless "live-in" life of Xingxing and Anning at Hot Spring Villa! It’s not been easy, after waiting for such a long time~~ Additionally, Cheng Tingting is also coming over. Will Anning’s identity be exposed?
