Chapter 715 - 191: You didn’t cancel your engagement with Ning Yan’er because of me, did you?
Xi Mohan turned his head to look at Ning Yan’er, whose face was distinctly unpleased. He merely furrowed his brows slightly before speaking indifferently to her, "Yan’er, I’ve explained everything to you before. The whole matter is a result of our own issues. Whatever compensation you want, you can speak to my assistant. I will try my best to satisfy your demands."
"Compensation?" Ning Yan’er, upon hearing this word, burst out laughing in fury, her face twisted with a hint of mockery as she glanced at Ning Wan and then at Xi Mohan, her voice laced with gritted teeth, "I didn’t realize we had any problems. Haven’t we been living well together abroad all these years? The moment you return, you propose to annul our engagement, dismissing me with the phrase ’incompatible personalities.’ What exactly do you take me for, Xi Mohan?"
This morning, when Xi Mohan spoke to her about the annulment of their engagement, she thought he was joking with her. When she called again later, he spoke with finality, seemingly determined to annul their engagement.
The reason was simple: Ning Yan’er deserved better, and he, Xi Mohan, was not suitable for her.
She had initially thought Xi Mohan wanted to end their engagement because he was angry about something she had done in the past, but upon seeing Ning Wan, she belatedly realized that the cancellation must be directly connected to this woman.
With this thought, Ning Yan’er’s gaze toward Ning Wan grew even colder as she said directly to her, "Ning Wan, you must be quite pleased with yourself now, aren’t you? Snatching your sister’s boyfriend, indeed you and your mother are shameless alike."
Ning Wan had initially not planned to get involved in any matters concerning Xi Mohan and Ning Yan’er, afraid that she might inadvertently draw fire upon herself, since she seemed to be all too prone to being a target without provocation.
Without uttering a word, Ning Yan’er, however, pointed the gun directly at her.
Especially since Ning Yan’er had brought up her mother.
With a cold expression, Ning Wan turned her eyes to Ning Yan’er, her gaze brimming with anger but soon followed by a laugh of exasperation, she spoke to her in a mocking tone, "Sister, it’s clear you can’t keep your man, and now you’re accusing me of seduction. How much do you despise me, exactly?"
She paused, then laughed as she continued, "But then again, I do enjoy watching you looking annoyed at me, yet powerless to do anything about it."
Ning Wan’s words were truly arrogant and made her seem utterly insufferable.
And Ning Yan’er, her face grew even darker with rage, her eyes blazing as if on fire as she looked straight at Xi Mohan, biting her lip softly, her tone gentler, "Mo Han, I could overlook your affair with Ning Wan, but you should remember how long we’ve been together. Can you really let go of our past feelings so easily?"
Because Xi Mohan had just heard Ning Wan’s words, his attention had been on her, but hearing Ning Yan’er addressing him, he looked away and regarded her with a cold aloofness for a long moment before finally saying, "Yan’er, the annulment of the engagement was my decision, and it has nothing to do with Ning Wan."
Ning Yan’er didn’t expect Xi Mohan to respond that way, her eyes widened in disbelief, clearly surprised by the outcome. After several seconds, her pride made her feel she couldn’t stay any longer, she bit her teeth and said directly, "I will not agree to this so easily. Mo Han, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but you should be clear that our engagement was approved by your grandfather as well."
With that, she turned her gaze to Ning Wan again and added with a sneer, "Mo Han, you should also be very aware that your grandfather would never allow Ning Wan to set foot into the Xi Family’s home."
...
After dropping those words, Ning Yan’er marched away in her high heels, her figure exuding a measure of pride even in what should have been an embarrassing moment.
There were quite a few patients around, and for a moment, all that remained by the lakeside were Ning Wan and the tall and upright figure of Xi Mohan standing before her.
She raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, her gaze crashing into his deep eyes without a hint of fear, but instead with a hint of self-mockery, she said, "Xi Mohan, you’re not really annulling your engagement with Ning Yan’er because of me, are you?"
