Chapter 22 - CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: This engagement has to be broken today whether you like it or not.

That was the capital, which her mother often mentioned. Little Zhong Kexin did not go out too often as her mother strongly disapproved it. She feared that her daughter might have been in danger of kidnapping or other forms of evils . It was crowded, loud and vibrant. And after sometime, she saw a young boy in an apricot robe throw a ball high up, she titled her head towards the sky and watched as the ball fell, after looking around, she saw a carriage approaching where the little boy was collecting his ball, out of her own instincts, she ran towards him and pushed him aside, lucky for them, the carriage crossed leaving the both of them untouched.

After witnessing that, Zhong Kexin's mother rushed over to check if her daughter was alright. Same for Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao's nanny. After checking him, Crown prince Jun Yuanchao's nanny thanked Zhong Kexin very much. And that was the reason why the two got engaged because his was to act as a reward to little Zhong Kexin for being Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao's saviour.

........

He showed  absolute disdain on his face and said, " Zhong Kexin, I am here today to cancel my engagement with you, with Prince Ju Zihan here as my witness. Don't start with your emotional blackmail again, I am sick and tired of that stupid act of yours. I do know that you love me deeply, but you have to look at yourself first and then tell me if the two of us together are fit to be called a couple before aspiring for me."

Chow Yi Nuo just listened keenly to the man's claptrap before she could give him her own thoughts about herself. She was not ready to listen to his criticism and say nothing like a sheep. She was willing to do anything just to ensure that Zhong Kexin got to enjoy her life as the daughter of a rich merchant.

He continued in a raised voice, " This engagement has to be broken today whether you like it or not."

Zhong Guiying , the pretty and 'kind' lady of the Zhong Family gestured to a maid servant to bring a paper, an ink stone with ink and a brush immediately. The maid servant rushed out of the family hall and came back with a tray with an ink stone with ink, a brush and a paper. She gently handed it up Zhong Guiying who handed it over to Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao.

Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao grabbed the brush, dipped it in the ink and started to write on the paper. It was as if he could not wait any longer as he feared that Zhong Kexin would have done something stupid to prevent that from happening. Before he could write anything...

Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao suddenly thought of how Zhong Kexin could have done something stupid to prevent him from breaking off the engagement so he said to the two maid servants of Zhong Guiying. "Both of you go and hold her down, in case this ugly weirdo decides to do something stupid again."

When they received the order, they did not hesitate for a second before bowing slightly towards Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao and then headed out to Zhong Kexin. Chow Yi Nuo sneered at them and allowed her to hold her hands without hesitation or rejection.

It was not until Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao's letter of breaking off the engagement was thrown at Chow Yi Nuo's face, that the two servants released her. The both of them looked at their soft hands and sighed, what bad luck they had experienced by holding Zhong Kexin - the weirdo of the Zhong Family. Chow Yi Nuo squatted down with difficulty trying to pick up the letter that had fallen off from her face mainly because Zhi Meng Yao had been left outside the Family hall . The moment her plump fingers touched the letter, Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao sneered. " You weirdo,  don't think that it will not count after you tear it apart."
