This Engagement Has to Be Broken

#Completed 2023.1.16. Sina Weibo: Sui Yu Q#

Zhou Congsen had always liked gentle, soft-spoken women. But for the sake of his family's inheritance, he had no choice but to pursue An Qing, a fiery little pepper, and patiently coax her for three years, until they got engaged.

He thought that giving her the title of Mrs. Zhou and pretending to dote on her for the rest of their lives would be the greatest favor he could grant her. After all, she wasn't his type.

Later, his mistress was exposed, and An Qing demanded to call off the engagement. He didn't take it to heart, thinking she could leave if she wanted. She'd come back to him sooner or later.

But after An Qing left, his heart always felt like something was missing, and nothing could fill the void.

It wasn't until he saw her with another man that the sudden blaze of jealousy nearly burned him alive. Only then did he realize he'd fallen in love with her long ago.

He considered himself the person who understood An Qing best in the world, and thought making up would be easy. Who knew that after trying every trick in the book, all he'd get in return were two resolute slaps from An Qing?

That heartless woman refused to come back.

An Qing had lived in a fairy tale for three years. For a time, she thought that even if every man in the world was a jerk, hers was a pure white lotus untouched by the mud.

Then she found out he really was a white lotus.

There's no point saying more. Cut your losses while you can.
