Pei Huaian's fury instantly skyrocketed to its peak; he clenched his fists tightly, looking like he dearly wanted to strangle Shao He's neck.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"If you so desire to keep her, then our engagement is over! From now on, I will no longer pester you!"
Pei Huaian grabbed her wrist in one swoop and glared at her, refusing to let go,
Shao He's eyes shifted slightly, signaling him to release her quickly.
But Pei Huaian wouldn't let go, as if releasing her would make her disappear.
Ah Lan, witnessing their quarrel, gleamed with satisfaction in her eyes but feigned innocence on her face.
"Sister Shao, don't misunderstand, Brother An now only has you in his heart, whatever we had is in the past."
"Ha, it seems you would love for us to call off the engagement, so you can be with him openly instead of sneaking around like this," Shao He responded unreservedly, her tone icy and decisive.
