Chapter 7

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Feng Yi had seen many noble ladies from prestigious families since he was young. Every move of theirs exuded their own charm, and the fragrance on their bodies was enchanting. Now, this utterly unfashionable country bumpkin who smelled of pork and leek wanted to marry him. If news of this were to spread, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life!

Moreover, Feng Yi knew that he didn’t have the strong heart needed to face such a woman for the rest of his life!

At least at this moment, he did not want to see that face at all. Even the sound of that country accent made him want to throw up!

“How dare you talk back to me! Go back to your room and get changed immediately!” Cheng Ruohuai slammed the table angrily.

Cheng Qianqian took a step back timidly and tried to hide in Feng Yi’s arms when she looked at him.

“Brother Feng Yi, save me!”

“Don’t touch me!”

Feng Yi pushed Cheng Qianqian away instinctively.

Caught off guard, Cheng Qianqian fell to the ground and looked at Feng Yi helplessly in disbelief. Her eyes instantly turned red. “Brother Feng Yi… I, I am your fiancée, isn’t it?”

Feng Yi was only acting out of his reflexes. Hearing what Cheng Qianqian said, he coughed lightly and decided to make things clear.

“Uncle Cheng, actually, I’m here today to tell you that I can’t marry Cheng Qianqian. I… I already have someone I like. I won’t marry anyone but her. As for my father, I’ll make things clear with him.”

“Feng Yi, what do you mean by this?!” Cheng Ruohuai’s eyes widened. “This engagement was agreed between both families. The engagement ceremony is about to be held soon!”

“I’m sorry, I really can’t marry your daughter.” Feng Yi was determined to break the engagement. “I’ve already conveyed my message. As for the collaboration between our families, I’ll go home and discuss with my father whether we should continue.”

With that, Feng Yi left without looking back, afraid to look at Cheng Qianqian again.

Cheng Ruohuai was livid. He was about to flare up at Cheng Qianqian, who was on the floor, but before he could say anything, Cheng Qianqian covered her face and cried bitterly. Then, she ran upstairs without saying a word.

Facing the empty living room, Cheng Ruohuai was angry and worried!

The Cheng Corporation was currently in a financial crisis. Initially, he had wanted to ally with the Feng family through marriage as soon as possible so that the two families would have mutual interests. This way, the Feng family would naturally be able to help the Cheng Corporation solve its financial problem. But who would have thought that Feng Yi would do this today!

No! He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing!

“Men, prepare the car. I’m going to the Feng family!”

It was not until late at night that Cheng Ruohuai returned from the Feng family. Once he got home, he called everyone to the living room.

“I’ve already discussed it with Feng Yi’s parents. It’s a new era now—marriage isn’t played out according to the words of a matchmaker or the will of the parents anymore. Since Feng Yi already has someone he likes, let’s forget about the engagement between him and Qianqian. No one is to mention it again.”

Cheng Jinzhi was delighted when she heard that Cheng Qianqian’s engagement had been broken. Although there were some twists and turns of events in between, the outcome was good!

Cheng Qianqian, on the other hand, was not that happy. Based on her understanding of Cheng Ruohuai, this sly old fox would never make a losing deal. The Feng family broke off the engagement for no reason. She did not know what benefits they secretly gave him to make him agree to this matter.

“By the way, Qianqian has never been to school before. I’ve thought about it. Girls should be well-educated too. I’ve already arranged for you to study at the Firth Royal College. You will go to school with Jinzhi from now on!”

Cheng Jinzhi’s expression changed. “Dad, how could you…”

“Shut up!” Cheng Ruohuai glared at her. “In the future, you have to take good care of your elder sister in school. Don’t create any more trouble for me, do you hear?”

“Yes, Dad!”
