A sentence fell, and for an instant, there was a brief silence at the scene.
But then Yu Siqiao took steps toward Mo Shu, his voice calm, "The melon has been plucked by you, and now you’re telling me it’s not sweet? Do you expect it to grow back?"
Mo Shu, watching him approach with a dark expression, instinctively stepped back half a step, feeling uneasy. "If you don’t pluck it, how would you know if it’s sweet or not? Now that I know it’s not sweet, so..."
Yu Siqiao saw this and scoffed coldly, "Do you think this marriage is something you can engage in and call off whenever you like?"
Li Shaobai’s eyes widened, unbelieving that these words actually came from Yu Siqiao’s mouth!
Was he... not planning to break off the engagement?
But what a golden opportunity this was!
In fact, it wasn’t just Li Shaobai who was shocked; many others were just as surprised.
Everyone knew how persistently Mo Shu had pursued Yu Siqiao and that Yu Siqiao had no affection for her.
Everyone thought it was a sure thing that Yu Siqiao would agree to break off the engagement, but who could have expected such a reversal?
Now the one who doesn’t agree to break off the engagement is Yu Siqiao?
Although Elder Mo was equally shocked, he also let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat comforted, "Si Qiao, Shushu is being naive. Please be patient with her. Once she thinks things through, she’ll naturally regret it."
Mo Shu, hearing Elder Mo’s seemingly consolatory tone, was even more annoyed. She looked at Yu Siqiao and said sternly, "You clearly don’t like me at all. Now, by breaking off the engagement, I’m giving you freedom. Shouldn’t you be happy about that?"
Yu Siqiao stepped up to Mo Shu and stopped right in front of her, a malicious sneer appearing on his lips, "I didn’t expect you to be so self-aware."
Mo Shu, irritated to the extreme, scoffed coldly, "If that’s the case, why won’t you agree to break off the engagement?"
Yu Siqiao looked at her with a deep gaze, the distance between them less than half a meter.
Mo Shu, looking into his eyes filled with hostility, whispered, "In fact, it’s because you’ve fallen in love with me, right?"
The voice wasn’t loud, but those nearby who were supposed to hear it, still heard it.
Upon hearing this, Yu Siqiao let out a low laugh, but the mockery on his face only intensified. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovєlFіre.net
Mo Shu, as if blind to it all, stepped forward and whispered, "You can’t bear to leave me. You’ve fallen in love with me, haven’t you?"
While speaking, a smile of joy spread across her face, "You’ve always said you despise me because I constantly cling to you. Now that I no longer want to be with you, you’re regretting it, right?"
Someone in the crowd laughed out loud, "Quite daring to say that."
Yu Jing also scoffed coldly, "Just what is that thick skin of yours made of, thicker than city walls?"
Li Shaobai made a peculiar face, "I think it’s more likely that my Brother Yu can’t bear to let go of the Mo Family’s dowry."
Fall in love with her?
That’s just impossible.
Mo Shu seemed to ignore the surrounding comments and, seeing that Yu Siqiao didn’t respond, persisted in leaning closer, tiptoeing to hook his neck, her face moving up close, their noses almost touching as she said, "If you admit you love me, we won’t break off our marriage today. Let’s be good to each other from now on, okay?"
Sao Zha covered his eyes: [Oh my, you’re really fighting hard to break off this engagement, he’s going to toss you away!]
The crowd was watching as if enjoying a show, but contrary to everyone’s expectations, Yu Siqiao didn’t push her away!
To everyone’s astonishment, Yu Siqiao actually wrapped his arms around her waist, his voice cold, "Your skin is much thicker than I imagined."
Mo Shu gave a coquettish smile, her lips drawing closer, "Then, do you love me?"
