But jealousy was burning within him, obliterating all his rationality.
Upon hearing her impolite retort, Jin Yu, with clenched teeth, blurted out something he didn't mean, "Who the hell cares about you? I just don't want to be a cuckold. If you want to be with that man, terminate the engagement first. Don't flirt with him right in front of me."
Xu Niannian's heart inexplicably ached. After Jin Yu spoke, he moved back agitatedly, putting distance between them, and watched Xu Niannian coldly.
Xu Niannian glared at him, "Is that what you think of me, that I'm flirty and have no regard for my reputation?"
Even though their engagement was a sham, she understood the serious implications very well.
If she really got involved with another man first, no explanation would be sufficient. Once the engagement was broken, no matter who initiated it, it would be perceived as her being unfaithful, and that's why the engagement was called off.
