The Beautiful Time With You

Chapter 424: The Best Wingman Turned Into the Worst Saboteur (2)

Lin Jiage still wasn’t speaking at all.

A frown formed between Shi Yao’s eyebrows as she called out, “Lin Jiage? Lin Jiage?”

It was only after she called him twice did Lin Jiage’s body finally moved slightly. His gaze slowly moved over to her face, and he asked quietly, “What did you say?”

“I said, when will be an appropriate time to raise the annulment of our engagement with your family members?” Shi Yao repeated what she had mentioned earlier.

Lin Jiage replied with an “Oh…” before falling completely silent once more. But this time, his mind didn’t blank out as it did earlier.

Things are turning out differently from what I have expected. This is no surprise but a horror!

What is wrong with grandfather? Why did he feign illness all of a sudden? Besides, all of possible timings, why did he have to give himself away right before his confession?

What best wingman? More like the worst saboteur in the history of mankind!

However, Soft Bun mentioned that she only managed to confirm that grandpa is feigning illness yesterday, and the first thing she thought about was to call me and talk about the annulment of our engagement. It’s only because she recalled that we have a date today that she decided to postpone it till now…

In other words, from the start to the end, Soft Bun has never forgotten the matter about the annulment of our engagement?

Not only so, but she’s also eager to push it through as soon as possible…

This realization caused Lin Jiage to feel a dull ache in his chest. It was just a slight pain, but it made him feel extremely heavy on the inside.

On the other hand, seeing that Lin Jiage had fallen silent once more, Shi Yao opened her mouth once again to call him.

But before she could speak, Lin Jiage abruptly raised his head and asked her a question, “You… have never forgotten about the annulment of our engagement?”

“Of course, how could I forget about it?” Shi Yao replied without any hesitation at all. “It was out of worry of Grandpa Lin’s health condition that I told you to postpone the annulment of our engagement…”

Lin Jiage felt the pain in his chest growing sharper by the moment. He stared at Shi Yao for a long while before he asked again, “Have your thoughts never changed during this period of time?”

Unbeknownst to Lin Jiage, his voice had grown a little hoarse.

Why is Lin Jiage asking this question? It doesn’t have anything to do with the annulment of their engagement…

Shi Yao thought about the question for a while, but she was unable to figure out just what Lin Jiage was driving at. So, she said, “Why are you asking this question?”

Lin Jiage tried his best to maintain a casual tone as he said, “I’m just asking…”

“I see…” Shi Yao nodded.

She suddenly recalled how Lin Jiage had called her to the little forest in their school and berated her for using underhanded means to attract his attention by playing hard to get… He even said that there were many women who tried to trick on him, but she was the only one who made him feel disgusted about it…

Could his question be an attempt to sound out whether she carried any other intention about him?

With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao hurriedly spoke up, “I have never thought of marrying you before; these are my honest words. It was my family who arranged this engagement. My parents have never asked my opinion about this matter, and I didn’t dare to go against their words either. I don’t have any other intention in mind when I talk about the annulment of the engagement, I mean my words as they are.

“Besides, you have already told me clearly that you don’t like me, and I don’t like you either. Isn’t it good for us to annul our engagement now?”
