´ No you didn"t f*cking miss me, you want revenge huh? " Zhi Ruo cursed in her head.

Zhi Ruo"s eye wanted to twitch, " This faker! "
Zhi Ruo lightly smiled before receiving the flowers, " Thank you, "
She looked at them for a second before giving them to a maid, " Put them in a vase for the living room. "
" Yes. " the maid answered before taking away the flowers.
" Mr. Li, I thought you were very busy these days. I am sure you could be using your time more wisely then wasting it here. " Zhi Ruo said in a cold voice.
" That"s not true. Our relations.h.i.+p is very important to me. " Li Wei smoothly answered.
" What freaking relations.h.i.+p?! " Zhi Ruo wanted to strangle him but still maintained her indifferent att.i.tude on the outside.
From the corner of her eye, Zhi Ruo could see her mom and her dad"s eyes wide open from Li Wei"s bold declaration about their " relations.h.i.+p ".
Sigh...
Zhi Ruo slightly smiled to her parents and said, " Mom, Dad, I need to talk to Mr. Li in private so we will be heading upstairs.
" It"s fine, take your time! " Hui Yin excitedly responded.
" Not too much..." Zhi Duyi mumbled.
" Hmm. " Zhi Ruo nodded before bringing Li Wei upstairs.
" Mr. Li, please this way. "
" You can just call Li Wei," he commented.
Zhi Ruo didn"t say anything to this comment and made her way up.
Arrived at her office in the mansion, she pointed at the sofa for Li Wei to sit.
Sitting across him, Zhi Ruo stared at his face and felt repulsion for this brainless male lead.
A minute went by as the two of them kept staring at each other.
In the end, Li Wei couldn"t take it anymore and coughed, " May I know why you wanted to talk to me in private, Ruoruo? "
He said with a smirk.
" I didn"t know that we were so close that I gave you permission to call me by my nickname. " Zhi Ruo coldly stated.
" We are engaged. This level of closeness is only normal. " Li Wei remarked.
" That"s why I want to cancel the engagement, I do not wish, in any life, to be a.s.sociated with you. " Zhi Ruo gave him a provocative look.
" What do you mean? " Li Wei was p.i.s.sed off by her comment.
" What is so bad about me that you don"t even want to be a.s.sociated with me in other lives?! "
" Sigh...so slow..." Zhi Ruo purposely said it audibly.
" I obviously hate you and don"t want to be engaged to you. Why are you still hesitating? You have nothing to lose in this broken engagement and you will be able to marry the girl you like. As simple as that. " Zhi Ruo told him.
" You hate me? " Li Wei tried to calm himself.
" Isn"t it the same for you? " Zhi Ruo was tired of his stupidity.
"...That"s right. " Li Wei finally replied after a long pause.
He stared right into her eyes and declared, " I hate you so much that I am going to continue tormenting you with this engagement. "
He sneered before standing up and leaving the room.
Hearing his declaration, Zhi Ruo was momentarily baffled before screaming in her mind, " That freaking ice cube with a PEANUT SIZE BRAIN!!! " (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
" How the h.e.l.l is he the male lead with this brain of his?! I am literally freeing him but this dumba.s.s wants to continue it just to torment me?! This is exactly why he had an abusive relations.h.i.+p with the female lead!!! " Zhi Ruo raged as she hit the pillow on her couch.
After pouring out all her feelings, Zhi Ruo finally sighed and collapsed on the fluffy couch.
" When the h.e.l.l is the female lead coming?! Please enter the plot already!!! I need you! Please save me! " Zhi Ruo yelled.
After roughly ten minutes, Zhi Ruo finally recomposed herself and walked down the stairs again.
She cautiously looked at the living room before entering.
" Mom, Dad, did you chase him out? "Zhi Ruo asked as she realized that Li Wei was gone.
" What are you saying? Of course, we didn"t! He said he was tired so he went back home. He also told us to tell you that he will be gone for a week because of a business trip. " Hui Yin informed.
" Next time, you can chase him out. " Zhi Ruo casually declared.
" What do you mean? I thought you guys were getting along well as he came to visit you. " Hui Yin inquired.
" I don"t want to be in a forced marriage, moreover, he only came by to talk about the annulment of our engagement. " Zhi Ruo explained.
" What?! Cancel the engagement? " Hui Yin said.
" Mom. Don"t overreact. We are both mature adults, we know how to handle our life. If we concluded that we weren"t right for each other then that should be the end of the conversation. I hope you can respect our decision. " Zhi Ruo sat down next to her mom and tried to convince her.
" But..." Hui Yin wanted to rebuke but this time Zhi Duyi helped out his daughter.
" Dear, if she doesn"t want to then let her be. She is our daughter, she deserves the freedom of choice. Our marriage turned out well but that doesn"t happen all the time so just let her choose. " Zhi Duyi a.s.sured.
"Hmm...you are right. " Hui Yin finally conceded and turned to Zhi Ruo.
" I am sorry, I should have let you choose. I understand your decision. I will tell Li Wei"s mom about it, don"t worry. " Hui Yin lightly smiled.
" Thank you, mom! " Zhi Ruo hugged her mother.
" And thank you, dad! " Zhi Ruo beamed as she also gave him a hug.
" Anything for my lovely princess. " Zhi Duyi chuckled.
...
In her mind, Zhi Ruo gave herself a high-five.
" Yes! Step one completed. "
