Chapter 15 - Annulled Marriage (1/2)
Next to a clear stream, an elegant man was frolicking with a charming lady in red. They chased each other around the pond, laughing all the while in this peaceful place.
Luo Yunchang felt only sorrow as she watched the flirting couple. But for the good of the clan, she braced herself and stepped forward, “Brother Xiaoting…”
The mood of the man turned sour as he glared at her, “Luo Yunchang, I thought I made myself clear. From now on, I have nothing more to do with you. My eyes are only for Yufei.”
“Yeah, now get lost. Brother Xiaoting doesn’t love you anymore.” The lady in red sneered at her.
Biting her lip, Luo Yunchang’s eyes mist over.
At the time when Luo and Cai clans were on good terms, the parents of both families arranged their marriage. She and Cai Xiaoting grew up together and swore their love for each other, to never abandon the other.
This was why the first person she thought of was her fiancée when she needed help.
Yet reality was cruel. Ever since they came here, she and her brother kept suffering while Cai Xiaoting had the arrogant and insufferable Sun clan’s young miss, Sun Yufei, next to him.
She knew all hope of marrying into the Cai clan was lost. But for the sake of rebuilding her clan, she hoped to stir Clan Head Cai’s amiable emotions the two clans had in the past and lend a helping hand.
Yet Clan Head Cai Rong was cold and unfeeling to their plight, not moving an inch.
The siblings stayed here for ten days, all in hope of gaining some assistance. But since Cai Rong ignored her, she could only turn to Cai Xiaoting.
“Brother Xiaoting, I don’t ask for you to go through with the engagement, and only hope you can persuade your father, for old time sake, and help the Luo clan. ”
“It has nothing to do with me. Talk with dad.” Cai Xiaoting waved his sleeve coldly.
Luo Yunchang kneeled with tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Brother Xiaoting, if you don’t agree, I will kneel here until I die.”
Taking a long look at her, Cai Xiaoting frowned and was plagued by hesitation.
But then Sun Yufei jumped between them and slapped Luo Yunchang. The blow threw her back and blood trickled from her mouth.
“Humph, bitch, Cai Xiaoting is mine. Stay away from him.”
Sun Yufei’s phoenix eyes glared and raved. She turned to Cai Xiaoting and said harshly, “You stay away from her too. If I find there’s still something left between you, I will leave you.”
As if waking up, he nodded and swore, “Yufei, relax, my heart is yours. Other girls are dirt compared to you.”
Cai Xiaoting’s eyes showed his sincere feelings, watching her like a love-struck puppy.
Sun Yufei nodded pleased, as Luo Yunchang’s face turned ashen. She knew her last hope faded away…
Whoosh!
A shadow flashed by and two slaps echoed. Sun Yufei and Cai Xiaoting were still confused about what happened, when a red handprint appeared on their faces.
Zhuo Fan stood in front of Luo Yunchang as he stared at them, “A damn illicit couple dares to ruin my affairs?”
“Who are you?”
