"Are you willing to break off the engagement now?"
Shi Yaoguang's words fell like a sledgehammer, striking Shi Yiqing's heart with raw force.
Break off the engagement...
Did she want to?
With no benefits tethering them, was there any need to maintain it?
Shi Yiqing was unsure.
Quan Sicheng was initially full of confidence.
How Shi Yiqing would choose, did it even need to be said?
She and Sicheng were truly in love, childhood sweethearts for so many years, their bond far more significant than money or status.
However.
The certainty in his heart did not last long.
Because...
Shi Yiqing was retreating.
Minutes passed, and she showed not the slightest inclination to decide.
This was no longer hesitation, she clearly seemed to be tacitly consenting.
Shi Yaoguang observed Shi Yiqing and deliberately asked against her wishes, "Seeing as you're so deeply attached to Quan Sicheng, I presume you don't want to part ways with him, do you?"
