Chapter 425 - You Seek Your True Love, I Find My Ideal Partner (1)
The Beautiful Time With You
âWe are still young anyway. Weâll be free once we annul our engagement. You can seek your true love, and Iâll find my ideal partnerâ¦â
I-ideal partnerâ¦
Lin Jiage was already finding it hard to speak. He could clearly hear something shattering in his chest.
He found it hard to come to grips with the situation. He had never been in such a position before, so he was at an utter loss as to what to doâ¦
This was very different from the situations he had imagined. He had worried about the possibility of him forgetting his words while confessing to Soft Bun, and he had been distressed about the possibility of Soft Bun rejecting him. Of course, he had also envisioned Soft Bun getting extremely touched after seeing what he had prepared for her, possibly even breaking down in tears of joyâ¦
But never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Soft Bun would raise up past affairs and talk about the annulment of their engagement.
Was I too confident to have thought that she could have become mine, or is this all just a cruel nightmare that Iâll wake up from in the next momentâ¦
â¦
This is weird⦠Why does Lin Jiage keep falling silent?
Shi Yao waited for a while, but it didnât look like Lin Jiage was going to talk anytime soon. So, she asked, âWhy arenât you talking?â
Lin Jiage quickly reined in his thoughts and replied, âItâs nothing.â
Seeing that Lin Jiage was finally reacting once more, Shi Yao continued speaking, âSo, have you thought about which will be the best day for us to come clean with your family members?â
Lin Jiage didnât reply right away. Instead, he pinched his thigh as hard as he could, and the sharp pain shattered all of his imaginations.
This is not a nightmare but a reality⦠Why isnât it a nightmare?

How am I to respond to her in such a situation? Am I to tell her that I donât want to annul our engagement, or am I to ask her âWho told you that I donât like youâ?
Does it even matter how I respond? No matter what I say, she would just reject me. She has already made it so clear from her earlier words that she doesnât like him⦠From the start to the end, she has never forgotten about the annulment of our engagement!
Shi Yao: âLin Jiage?â
Lin Jiage snapped out of his thoughts. He gazed across the candlelight to look at Shi Yao with an extremely composed look on his face. With an equally nonchalant voice, he said, âRegarding this matter⦠I need to give it some thoughts.â
Shi Yao: âWhen do you think you can give me a response?â
âIâ¦â Lin Jiage couldnât complete this sentence.
He fell silent for yet another moment before he changed the topic, â⦠Letâs talk about this on another occasion. Itâs getting late; we should be heading down now.â
Without even waiting for Shi Yaoâs response, Lin Jiage beckoned a waiter to foot the bill.
He received the receipt which the waiter was passing over and picked up a pen to sign on it.
On the other hand, Shi Yao suddenly recalled that Lin Jiage mentioned that he had something to say to her, so she asked, âOh right, didnât you mention that you had something to say to me too?â
Shi Yaoâs question caused Lin Jiage to tighten his grip around the pen. His eyelids drooped down a little as he tried to maintain a composed look while signing the receipt. Due to him exerting a little too much force, the tip of the pen pierced through the receipt paper.
When the waiter finally left with the signed receipt, Shi Yao asked once more with a curious tone, âWhat is it that you wanted to tell me?â
All of a sudden, fireworks of myriad colors whizzed into the air resplendently, immediately capturing everyoneâs attention.
Amidst the loud explosion of fireworks, cheers could be heard from the crowd.
Lin Jiage turned his head to look at the horizon.
According to his plan, the two of them should have been standing in the observation platform on the mountain peak at this moment, watching the firework show. But now⦠the fireworks had already been set off, but the two of them were still hereâ¦
