Chapter 651 - Seduction

When Guan Tang came out of the room again, she was already dressed properly in a long dress; it was simple and elegant. In the middle of the night, she had no makeup on, making her look unspeakably beautiful.

Cheng Che looked away from the wall and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you at this time. I heard that you went to look for my fiancee today and that you left together. I wanted to ask you where she went after that.”

Guan Tang seemed surprised by Cheng Che’s words, but there was also an understanding expression on her face. She reached out to pour a glass of water for him before setting the glass down near him. Then, she asked, “Did something happen to Dr. An?”

Cheng Che said helplessly, “I can’t find her so I came to ask if you know where she went.”

Guan Tang shook her head with a perplexed expression. “I don’t know. When I arrived at the hospital, Dr. An was about to get off work. We chatted for a while and walked out together. After we parted, she likely went to the car park. I left in the other direction, and a driver picked me up. We’re not very close so I didn’t ask about her schedule.”

Guan Tang’s words sounded reasonable.

Cheng Che took two steps forward before he asked, “Then can I ask you why you went to look for her? What did you talk to her about?”

An aggrieved expression appeared on Guan Tang’s face as she looked at Cheng Che stubbornly with her big eyes. “I, I’ve already moved out of the Yin family house. I don’t want to be an obstacle to your return to the family. I only wanted to tell Dr. An about this. I thought it’d be more credible if Dr. An heard it from me. After all, I don’t think she’d believe the Yin family. Hence, I told her about my situation and how I’m indebted to the Yin family before I asked her to understand my circumstances. Between the two of you, there’s no doubt I’m a third party. I told her not to worry since I have no intention of interfering in your relationship.”

Guan Tang lowered her gaze as tears fell from her eyes. She continued to say, “My parents passed away when I was young so I’ve been living with my aunt and my uncle. I have nothing to repay them with. If my departure can reunite your family, then it can be considered as a small form of repayment for their grace toward me.”

Cheng Che pursed his lips and did not speak.

Guan Tang reached out to wipe her tears, and her actions were graceful as well. Then, she looked up at Cheng Che and said in a soft voice, “Dr. An is very lively and straightforward. She told me not to think too much and said that no one can affect the relationship between both of you. Cheng Che, I wish both of you happiness.”

Looking at the pitiful face in front of him, Cheng Che’s anger subsided. ” ” He could not vent his anger, after all. In the end, he only said, “Whether or not I return to the Yin family has nothing to do with you. I’m not angry at you.”

These words seemed to be very important to Guan Tang. Her face lit up immediately as she asked, “Really? Really, Cheng Che? Your refusal to return to the Yin family has nothing to do with me?”

Cheng Che nodded. For a moment, he did not notice the strangeness of those words.

Guan Tang smiled. Her smile was sweet and innocent. Her eyes shone with gratitude as she said, “Thank you, Cheng Che. Thank you.”

Cheng Che was slightly in a daze.

Guan Tang looked like a mischievous little girl now. She sighed in relief before she said, “You’re unaware of this, but I’ve been feeling anxious and sad over these past few days. I feel like I’ve become an unnecessary person. Not only was I unable to help you, but I even caused trouble for the Yin family. I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn’t know what to do. In the end, I could only move out of the Yin family house first. Without me, I thought you’d naturally return to the Yin family. As for our… engagement, that’s the previous generation’s matter. Since our mothers are no longer around, it’s normal to cancel our engagement.”
