Mineral Water, Lollipop, Spicy Gluten (2)

Liang Mumu was beginning to feel a little frustrated with Shi Yao, so she massaged her temples and asked with a heavier tone, "Yaoyao, talk to me seriously or else I'm going to get angry!"0

But in truth, Shi Yao wasn't playing around either. She'd been serious the entire time...

Shi Yao fell silent for a brief moment before she faced Liang Mumu with a solemn gaze and said, "Mumu, I'm canceling my engagement with him."

"What?" Shocked by the sudden announcement, Liang Mumu was completely stunned.

A moment later, it seemed like Liang Mumu still couldn't take in Shi Yao's words as she asked, "Yaoyao, what do you mean by that? Cancel your engagement with him?"

"It just means that I want to cancel my engagement with Lin Jiage," Shi Yao replied honestly.

Her tone was extremely composed and serious, and there were no signs that she was joking.

Liang Mumu stared at Shi Yao for a very long time. A myriad of emotions flickered across her face before she finally moved her lips, "Yaoyao, do you know what you're saying?"

Shi Yao nodded. "I do."

Liang Mumu: "Did Brother Jia bring up the cancelation? Does Grandpa Lin know about it? If Grandpa Lin found out, Brother Jia will be in for another beating again…"

Shi Yao shook her head. "He wasn't the one who brought it up, I did. I'll tell Grandpa Lin myself that I'm not interested in marrying Lin Jiage, that way Grandpa Lin won't blame him for this matter."

Hearing those words, Liang Mumu exclaimed in shock, "You were the one who brought it up?!"

"Mm," Shi Yao replied. A moment later, she continued, "Actually, the reason why I never talked about him in front of you isn't because I wanted to hide our relationship from you. It's just that there really is nothing between us."

"Mumu, did you know? From the moment I learned about the child betrothal six years ago until now, the number of times we've met can easily be counted with my fingers. The total time we've spent together is probably no more than an hour. To tell you the truth, he wasn't pretending that he didn't know me back at SKP that day. He really didn't recognize me at all."

After hearing Shi Yao's long speech, Liang Mumu asked, "Is this the reason why you want to cancel your engagement?"

"That's not really it."

"Then why?"

Lowering her gaze, a tinge of red spread across Shi Yao's face as she replied, "It's a secret."

Liang Mumu wasn't one to give up easily, but despite interrogating her for a very long time, Shi Yao showed no signs of coming clean. Eventually, she had no choice but to let it rest.

Usually, Liang Mumu would spend the entire day with Shi Yao, and they would only part ways after the sun had set. This time, however, Liang Mumu actually offered to bring Shi Yao back to her campus right after finishing their dessert.

Shi Yao casually asked why Liang Mumu didn't want to shop anymore, and Liang Mumu replied that she wasn't feeling well. Shi Yao could tell that she was lying, but she chose not to expose her, thinking that her friend might have an emergency that wasn't convenient for her to know about. Thus, she went along with Liang Mumu and returned to her campus.

After having dinner, Shi Yao took a look at her messages again.

Lin Jiage still hadn't replied.

Feeling that there was nothing she could do about it, she tapped into WeChat and went into the [Sexy and Frisky] group to send a message: <em

[Does anyone want to play?]</em

Shortly after sending the message, the phone in her hand vibrated, and a notification alarm for her messages rang out.

Shi Yao swiftly tapped open her messages.

Lin Jiage had finally messaged back after several days.
