NOVPUBYang Family's Residence.
Yue Ran took a small sip of her glass of tea as she and Mother Yang were chatting face-to-face.
"Auntie, I'm here to break off the engagement."
Mother Yang was shocked by her words.
"What's the matter, Ran Ran?" She asked. "Did Yang Chi make you angry? Auntie will teach him a lesson for you, so you don't have to worry."
Mother Yang comforted Yue Ran as if trying to cool down her anger, and at the same time she gave the housekeeper a wink as if to gesture for her to give a call to Yang Chi to ask him to come back.
Yue Ran naturally noticed Mother Yang's small gestures, but to her it didn't matter. This engagement will be resolved either way. Moreover, only this way would be conducive to the further development of Yang Chi's favorability score.
What you can get is worthless. What you can't get is what you pine for. However, what you already have but then lose is what is most memorable, what is most unforgettable.
After all, Yue Ran was currently only one step away from becoming Yang Chi's wife.
"Auntie, I believe you also know that Yang Chi doesn't like me at all." Yue Ran is still very polite in terms of talking to the elders. "In fact, I know that he already has someone he likes, and now I also have someone I like," she said slowly. "So it may not be a good idea to follow the previous arrangement between us two people."
"But... this is your grandfather's dying wish!"
Mother Yang also knew that her son had many objections to this union, but she genuinely liked Yue Ran, her future daughter-in-law.
Mother Yang and Yue Ran's mother have been close friends since childhood, and she has always treated Yue Ran as her own daughter; thus, she was extremely happy when she knew that Yue Ran would marry her son.
But reality was harsh!
Things would not always go as expected.
"I know, but my grandfather is just too worried about my future."
Yue Ran explained.
"Auntie also knows that I am not very sensible, and I'm also very much a spoiled and domineering person, which made my grandfather worry too much."
Her fingers fidgeted on the table, and she pursed her lips.
"But now I understand some things."
She let out a small sigh.
"A twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that both Yang Chi and I don't like each other at the same time. Even right now, we could barely be called friends. I'm afraid that we will only be a pair of resentful couples if our union goes on as planned."
Yue Ran donned a serious expression.
"Besides, I can now take care of myself. There is no need to rely on Yang Chi and be a housewife."
Although Mother Yang felt sad about the present outcome, it wasn't like she could force two children to be together when they didn't want it themselves. She also understood what Yue Ran meant by not wanting to rely on a man.
Everyone has their own choices in terms of doing things.
"I see, don't worry; I will talk to your Uncle Yang about this. I thought that you and Xiao Chi could make a cute couple, but in the end, that boy, Yang Chi, was not lucky enough to have you as his wife. But, Ran Ran, you can still come and talk to Auntie as often as you like since you are now like my own daughter."
"Of course, Auntie. I would never reject the idea of coming to talk to you," Yue Ran replied with a smile.
After convincing Mother Yang to break her engagement with Yang Chi, Yue Ran planned to leave the Yang family's residence.
In the process of breaking this engagement, the only hard part was convincing Father Yue to agree since this was her grandfather's dying wish and also her father's heart knot.
"Are you really not going to stay for dinner?" Mother Yang asked when she had sent Yue Ran to the gate of the Yang family's residence.
"No, I'll go home and eat. Thank you for your kindness, Auntie." Yue Ran replied politely.
It's a pity.
Mother Yang felt more and more pity as she kept staring at Yue Ran's beautiful profile.
Why does Yang Chi look down on such a good and beautiful girl like Yue Ran? Why is her son just so blind?
Just when Yue Ran and Mother Yang were waving goodbye to one another, Yang Chi arrived in his roaring sports car.
"Yue Ran?" Yang Chi got out of his car before asking the question. "Why did you come to my house?"
The moment Yang Chi saw Yue Ran, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart that he did not notice himself.
"Xiao Chi, what do you mean by that?" Mother Yang stared sternly at her disappointing son. "Do you mean that Ran Ran can't even come to our house whenever she wants now?" There was a little resentment and bitterness in her voice. "Hmph, Ran Ran is here to discuss your engagement."
"Ah, are we setting the marriage date now?"
There was a not-so-obvious expectation in Yang Chi's voice, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Yue Ran, looking tensed and anxious.
But from Mother Yang's point of view, all she could see and hear was Yang Chi's panic and avoidance of his engagement.
She massaged her temples as if only such movements could heal her mental headache.
It seemed that there was really no hope of saving this engagement anymore.
"No, Xiao Chi." Mother Yang sighed regretfully. "Ran Ran is here to break off the engagement with you."
"What?"
It took a second for Yang Chi to understand his mother's words.
"The engagement is going to be called off?"
Yang Chi was no less shocked than Mother Yang.
Their marriage contract was broken by Yue Ran on her own initiative!
He could hardly believe what he was hearing.
In such a state of bafflement, he could only reply in a way that would save himself the most face. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
"That couldn't be a better move! I would never want to marry someone I don't like and bring her home as a decoration! She's useless, aggressive, domineering, and definitely not my type!"
Mother Yang felt her head throb when she heard her son's words.
On the contrary, Yue Ran didn't feel much after hearing this. The more Yang Chi scolds her now, the more he will hate himself in the future.
She just hopes that Yang Chi will not regret it too much by then.
"Okay, then let's call for the dissolution of the engagement."
Yue Ran only left these words before hurrying away.
"Master, they all like you now; why are you breaking them all off at once?" Ruan Ruan inquired in Yue Ran's mind.
"Just watch the show obediently, Ruan Ruan, and you will soon understand why."
"Okay, Master!"
When Yue Ran was hospitalized, she had called Ruan Ruan to turn off the notification sounds because they were too loud then.
Presently, the favorability scores of the four men are hovering around the eighties now that she has finally checked the settings.
