Chapter 485: Does the Betrothal Still Valid

The next day, after the children went to school, Li Xu called Cheng Shuqin.
She told Cheng Shuqin what had happened apologetically, “The timing is right. Perhaps you can ask if it has anything to do with this matter. If that’s the case, 1’11 get Yuanyuan to call Mucheng and explain that the two of them are just ordinary classmates.”
Li Xu’s heart was still quite complicated at this moment. She was a little like a mother helping her daughter explain to her mother-in-law.
However, the relationship between Yuanyuan and Mucheng was still uncertain.
She paused for a moment before she added, “Yuanyuan is not yet eighteen years old. We do not allow her to date. Even if she’s eighteen years old, it still depends on who her partner is…”
No matter what, she felt something was wrong, so she simply kept silent.
Cheng Shuqin laughed bitterly when she heard this, “Now, he had a cold face all day and did not say anything. Fortunately, he was betrothed as a child. Otherwise, he might not even be able to marry a wife in the future.”
Li Xu smiled awkwardly, “Then you guys can discuss it. If there’s a need, call me again.”
Cheng Shuqin didn’t hesitate, “It’s probably because of this. Things have been good at home and school recently. Nothing happened. How about this, there’s no need to discuss it. Ask Yuanyuan to call him in the afternoon or at night and explain it to him tactfully. No matter what, she had to coax him into agreeing to go abroad first. We’ve been preparing for so long. He can’t refuse to go just like this.”
“Alright, 1’11 tell Yuanyuan after school.”
Seeing that Li Xu had agreed, Cheng Shuqin heaved a sigh of relief and put down the phone.
At noon, Li Xu was still thinking about how to tell Ji Yuanyuan about this.
Who knew that just as she put down her chopsticks, Ji Yuanyuan said, “Mom, I’ll give Brother Mucheng a call. I’ll tell him about Shao Xue so he won’t worry.”
Ji Yuanyuan was naturally too embarrassed to say it out loud. She wanted to call to explain her relationship with Yu Jianian, but she could only say it in a roundabout manner.
Seeing this, Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other.
Li Xu quickly said, “Alright, go ahead. Ji Zixuan, Ji Zi’ang, the two of you should quickly go inside and rest. Don’t disturb your sister’s call.”
After saying that, she pulled Zhang Kun’s arm, “You should rest for a while too. You can wash the dishes in the kitchen after lunch break.”
“Alright, I don’t want to move now.” Zhang Kun nodded.
The two of them supported each other and went to the master bedroom.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang also entered their rooms.
Ji Yuanyuan was the only one left in the living room.
She dialed Qin Mucheng’s home number.
When they saw that it was Ji Yuanyuan’s family, Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen knew she was definitely looking for Qin Mucheng.
Therefore, the call went into Qin Mucheng’s bedroom.
“Hello?” Qin Mucheng’s voice sounded a little indifferent.
Ji Yuanyuan was not discouraged at all and said sweetly, “Big Brother Mucheng, did 1 disturb your lunch break?”
“No!” Qin Mucheng said concisely.
“Big Brother Mucheng!” Ji Yuanyuan’s voice suddenly turned serious.
“Hmm?” Qin Mucheng was stunned.
“Didn’t we agree before that if you have something to say to me, don’t keep it to yourself? How could you forget it so easily?” Ji Yuanyuan criticized in a serious tone.
Qin Mucheng remained silent for a long time.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed in his heart and spoke again, “If you don’t say it, who knows what you’re thinking? Now that you’re so cold to me, 1’11 think, do you hate me? After that, I won’t dare to get close to you, and you’ll become colder and colder toward me. This was a vicious cycle. In the end, we might become enemies.”
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she did not continue. Instead, she remained silent and waited for Qin Mucheng’s explanation.
A moment later, Qin Mucheng spoke. He only said one sentence, “1 don’t hate you!”
Ji Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, “Then what’s wrong? Why are you so cold to me?”
Was he born in the year of a donkey? Does he need a whip to move?
“Ji Yuanyuan, is our betrothal still valid?”Just when Ji Yuanyuan thought that Qin Mucheng would not speak, he spoke.
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not expect this question.
She stuttered, “Yes… It counts!”
“What are you feeling guilty about?”
“When did I feel guilty?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in bafflement.
“Why are you stuttering if you don’t feel guilty?” Qin Mucheng asked.
Ji Yuanyuan’s brain worked quickly and she quickly found an excuse for herself, “I’m shy. Why did you bring this up out of nowhere?”
After a pause, Ji Yuanyuan asked warily, “What’s wrong? Are you going back on your word? Do you think that you’re too outstanding and I’m no longer worthy of you?”
Qin Mucheng was silent for a few seconds before he grumbled silently, “How didn’t you sound ‘shy’ at all?”
“Anyway, I’m serious now. However, if you have someone you like in the future and it has to be her, it’s not like I can’t fulfill your wishes.” Ji Yuanyuan said straightforwardly.
“I’m a very serious person. 1’11 definitely do what I promise. Don’t worry, I won’t allow myself to like anyone else in the future. I hope that you will be serious too. What you promised…” Qin Mucheng stopped halfway through his sentence.
“I will definitely do what 1 promised.”Ji Yuanyuan continued, “Also, there’s something I want to clarify with you.”
She cleared her throat and said, “Don’t listen to my Second Brother’s nonsense. He’s just a blabbermouth. He only knows how to spout nonsense when there’s no reason. It’s true that Yu Jianian and I were classmates for three years, but we barely spoke. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yang Jingyi and Fang Xinyi. The three of us were inseparable during Junior High School, and they knew everything about me.”
“Also, we only bumped into each other at the school gate that day. Yu Jianian asked a few questions about Big Brother’s recommendation to B University, but Shao Xue saw it. Second Brother should have told you what kind of person she is, right? In school, she relied on her connections and power to bully other students all day long.”
“But don’t worry, I didn’t suffer a loss. How can she be my match with her mediocre martial arts? Let alone three people, even if there were ten of them, 1 would be able to beat them.”
“As for passing notes in class, he was the one who asked if Shao Xue was looking for trouble with me. He’s not concerned about me, but Shao Xue. I only replied to him with one sentence, and then 1 didn’t send any more messages.”
She finished her long speech in one breath before asking, “How is it? Did I make myself clear? Is there anything else you want to ask?”
This time, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Qin Mucheng quickly replied, “No more!”
