My Fiance, Who Looked Down on Me After Breaking Off Our Engagement, Regretted It Too Late
The two biggest families in Haicheng arranged a business marriage. Meng Lili, the third daughter of the Meng family, and Yan Shang, heir to the Yan family, agreed to marry officially a year later.
They hadn't even met yet, but Yan family's second young master already had a notorious reputation as a playboy.
According to someone in the know, he'd recently become obsessed with a woman and was keeping her at his private estate.
The woman went by Mengmeng. She had delicate, innocent features and looked pure and flawless, but was actually quite scheming.
The night before the two families discussed the engagement ceremony, the woman sat by the window and threatened to kill herself if Young Master Yan left. Seeing her teary eyes,
Young Master Yan actually skipped the family banquet, carried her down, and gently soothed her. "All right, all right. I won't go. I won't see her ever again..."
Not long afterward, the Yan family announced that the marriage alliance was off. The jilted Third Miss Meng became the laughingstock of Haicheng's upper circles for a time.
On the fourth day after the engagement was called off,
his Mengmeng suddenly disappeared.
Young Master Yan turned the city upside down looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
Until the bidding conference in October,
when the Third Miss Meng, dressed in a sleek black dress, caught his eye.
Her exquisite, sharp features were identical to the delicate, innocent Mengmeng's, yet the two women seemed like complete opposites.
She greeted him openly and shook his hand.
"Long time no see, my ex-fiance."
"Oh, or should I say, my ex-lover?"
Looking at her, Young Master Yan remembered that all the tenderness and intimacy she'd shown him had been fake. His heart felt as though it had been crushed, aching with pain and hatred.
To escape the fate of a family-arranged marriage and avoid losing the battle to become heir, Meng Lili had pretended to be his mistress to trick him into calling off their engagement.
He curled his lip into a cold smile and tightened his grip around her wrist, his gaze dark and cold.
"You know what happens when you mess with me."
Meng Lili stepped closer, rose onto her tiptoes, and whispered sweetly in his ear as she had before. "...But would you really do it, Brother Yan?"
