"You are…" Qi Ziheng tilted his head with gentle eyes. "Do we know each other?"
One had to say that Qi Ziheng's face was too deceiving. All humans were visual creatures; thus, humans had more tolerance and patience towards good-looking humans.
'Face is justice' would be the phrase that would be widely used to describe such a person on the internet and reality a few years later.
Yun Hua suddenly smiled. "I am Yun Hua. You and I are betrothed to each other," replied Yun Hua very calmly.
There was no expectation, surprise, shyness, or anger.
For a moment, neither Qi Ziheng nor Su He could describe Yun Hua's attitude.
She seemed to be telling the truth.
Qi Ziheng was stunned and a little startled.
Su He's expression changed in an instant. She coldly glared at Yun Hua. "Sister, stop dreaming. It's broad daylight."
This was Su He. She was a gentle and beautiful woman as long as the subject wasn't Qi Ziheng. However, when Qi Ziheng was involved, her defense mechanism would shoot up to the roof, rendering her into a totally different person.
Yun Hua wasn't put off by Su He's despise. She merely smiled and maintained the same calm tone without changing her expression. "You can ask Qi Ziheng if I'm dreaming."
Su He's head spun around to look at Qi Ziheng. In fact, her first reaction was disbelief. She thought it was funny. Countless girls had tried to get close to Qi Ziheng, but Yun Hua was the first to claim that she was betrothed to Qi Ziheng. She must be delirious.
However, this girl had said it with such certainty that Su He felt weird.
"Ziheng, let's go. Ignore her gibberish. She's crazy." Su He circled her hand around Qi Ziheng's elbow, intending to leave.
Instead, Qi Ziheng patted Su He's hand to pacify her. All the while, he was looking at Yun Hua gently. "Y-You… Are you Grandpa Yun's granddaughter? What did you say your name was?"
"It's not important." Yun Hua smiled. "Are you going to honor the marriage agreement that we have?"
"…" Qi Ziheng was stunned. He never expected Yun Hua to be so direct.
Su He's expression completely changed as she stood beside him.
Qi Ziheng didn't deny Yun Hua at the very first chance he had. Th-that only meant this girl, Yun Hua, had told the truth.
Are they really betrothed to each other?
How could this be?
Qi Ziheng is mine. He belongs to me, Su He. Nobody will be able to take him away from me.
She had been guarding Qi Ziheng for so many years, driving away all the girls who attempted to come near him and crushing any suspicious signs around him. However, Qi Ziheng suddenly had a pre-existing marriage agreement after so many years of hard work?
Su He refused to believe it, nor could she accept it.
"Are you?" Yun Hua demanded.
Qi Ziheng remained smiling after the initial shock passed. "I'm aware of the marriage agreement. Why don't we find a place and discuss it over some drinks?"
The three of them left after Yun Hua paid for her swimming things. Qi Ziheng had wanted to pay for them, but Yun declined his offer.
Ling Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded by what she saw.
How… could this be true?
Yun Hua and Senior Qi are actually betrothed?
Senior Qi didn't deny it earlier.
God… oh god.
A million thoughts went through Ling Xiaoxiao's mind.
All this while, she thought Yun Hua's words were just wishful thinking. Who would've thought that this engagement was actually real?
This was equivalent to Ling Xiaoxiao hearing it from someone seated at the same table. Yun Hua was her idol's fiancée.
The shock numbed Ling Xiaoxiao.
…
There was a coffee shop opposite the supermarket.
Su He sat by the window, beside Qi Ziheng. Yun Hua sat across them.
