Chapter 1717: I Have Let You Down

The president could not help but look at his wife when she said this. “What are you doing instead of discussing the marriage?”2

The president’s wife was still a little worried. She had a feeling that Leng Jiuchen would not compromise so easily.

“I thought he was here to break off the engagement.”

“How dare he? !”

The president’s eyes darkened. “Unless, he doesn’t want the throne!”

Mei Qing chuckled. “Dad, I think he’s ambitious. Don’t underestimate him.”

The President raised his eyebrows. “Without ambition, how can he compete for the presidency? If... He insists on breaking off the engagement, I’ll choose someone else.”

Leng Jiuchen had his own thoughts, and so did the president.

Mei Ning twisted her fingers and walked in front with her head slightly lowered.

Hearing the powerful footsteps behind her, her heart became more and more nervous.

After passing through the carefully trimmed flower corridor, her line of sight instantly widened. The Green Lawn, the dark green lake, and the cool autumn wind, everything was very quiet.

Mei Ning stopped by the Swan Lake. She lowered her head slightly and did not look at Leng Jiuchen who was following behind her.

Leng Jiuchen could tell that Mei Ning was not in a good mood today. After all, her eyes were swollen.

“Unhappy?”He stood beside Mei Ning and looked at the rippling green lake in front of him.

This should be the first time in a long time that Leng Jiuchen took the initiative to talk to Mei Ning.

When Mei Ning heard this, she felt even more wronged. As she thought about it, her eyes turned sour again.

She could not understand why he still did not like her even though she listened to him.

Leng Jiuchen tilted his head slightly and looked at a few drops of crystal clear things dripping from the corner of her eyes onto the back of her hand. He felt very helpless.

He had not come into contact with many women in his life.

The one that he remembered the most was Yue Qiuci. The one who was the most difficult to let go was Xiang Qiuci. The one who felt the most guilty was Mei Ning.

She was very innocent, kind, and innocent.

He did not want to hurt her.

Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Leng Jiuchen had no choice but to take out his handkerchief and silently hand it to her.

Mei Ning, who was crying, looked at the dark blue handkerchief in front of him. He could not help but look up at him with red eyes.

The sunlight shone on his body, shining brightly on the military rank on his shoulder. His cold face looked softer than usual.

For a moment, Mei Ning thought that Leng Jiuchen actually liked her.

She frowned and took the handkerchief, saying softly, “Thank you.”

Seeing this, Leng Jiuchen smiled faintly.

Mei Ning was stunned. This was the first time Leng Jiuchen smiled at her.

Just when she couldn’t control her excitement, Leng jiuchen suddenly said, “I feel that we are more like brother and sister.”

As soon as he said that, Mei Ning’s heart seemed to stop beating.

Her entire body froze!

Brother and sister?

He actually said... that they were more like brother and sister?

Before she could regain her senses, Leng Jiuchen struck again. “You are a good girl, but I am not suitable for you.”

At that moment, Mei Ning felt as if her entire world had collapsed.

She stared blankly at Leng Jiuchen, unable to utter a single syllable.

“I’ve let you down. Mei Ning, I’m sorry. I’m not a person who can give you happiness.”

It was the first time Leng Jiuchen had spoken so seriously to Mei Ning. He had never been so serious before.

The tears at the corner of Mei Ning’s eyes instantly gushed out. The neatly folded dark blue handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled by her grip.

“Did you come here today to tell me this?”She lowered her eyes, stared at the handkerchief in her hand, and sobbed.
