Chapter 289 Thoroughly Enjoy a Cup (1/2)
Hearing those words, Murong Yi Xuan's hand trembled slightly, and the light within his eyes dimmed slightly, his face starting to become tinged with a slight paleness.
Seeing that demeanor coming over him, the corners of Feng Jiu's mouth tightened and she went on to say: ”Since you are already knew that, why do you pretend otherwise? The old Feng Qing Ge might be taken with you, but I, Feng Jiu will not. You are as good as a stranger to me and that is why our engagement must definitely be broken off.”
”Feng Jiu?” He raised his eyes up to look at her.
”That's right. My name is Feng Jiu, and you can also call me Feng Qing Ge, but I am definitely not the Feng Qing Ge who was smitten with you.”
Hearing that, his lips moved slightly like he was about to ask something but in the end, he did not manage to utter a single word. He lifted up his tea to his lips and took a sip from it to calm his own heart. After a long pause, he then said: ”I understand. I agree to break off the engagement.”
”That's for the best.” The ends of Feng Jiu's lips lifted slightly, to reveal a smile.
Seeing the delight that showed on her face, Murong Yi Xuan's eyes then glinted as he said: ”I would like to get to know you all over again.”
Under her shocked and surprised gaze, he showed a gentle smile on his face as he said: ” You are absolutely right. That first meeting at the restaurant, the second encounter in the Peach Blossom Ridge, and seeing you once more on the street, you had me mesmerized, moving my heart every one of those times, making it impossible for me to forget you. Hence, even if I have agreed to break off the engagement, I will still continue to pursue you.”
Feng Jiu shook her head and stood up with a laugh. ”I will advise you to not waste any of your time on me and go work on cultivating yourself instead!”
Leaving those words, Feng Jiu then left. She knew very clearly that she would never fall in love with someone like Murong Yi Xuan. Although he was highly outstanding, he was not suited for her.
Seeing her turn around and leave, he did not stop her, because he knew that as long as he grew strong enough, and was outstanding enough, then, the day would come where she would definitely become his woman!
In this world where power reigned supreme, the powerful were revered, and the weak were not able to survive. Even if she had the Feng Residence behind her, in this vast and wide world, she would come to discover one day that only someone with great power would be able to protect her.
