Chapter 219: 134 Unreasonable Demands (First Update)_2

Qiu Yiming felt unbearably distressed and hesitated for quite a while before he ultimately chose the path most advantageous to himself.

So that morning, just after the Fang Family had finished breakfast, Qiu Yiming arrived again. Although he had taken special care to groom himself, a close look revealed a faint hint of blue under his eyes and an exhaustion that could not be concealed, clearly the result of a sleepless night.

Fang Yuyang was very resistant to his arrival, furrowing his brows the moment he saw him. Qiu Yiming, noticing Fang Yuyang’s hostile attitude, felt a surge of anger too, but remembering the purpose of his visit, he suppressed his rage and said to Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, I have something I want to tell you."

Fang Yuyang thought Qiu Yiming was like an unrelenting specter, speaking haltingly without clarity, seemingly scheming something. He didn’t want Fang Yuxin to continue entangled with Qiu Yiming and intended to stop her from going out with him.

He had just lifted his arm and was about to speak when Fang Yuxin saw the wrinkles form on Qiu Yiming’s brow, his bloodshot eyes flickering with irritability. She sighed inwardly, grabbed Fang Yuyang’s hand, gave a gentle shake of her head, and said, "Brother, you go ahead and get ready, I’ll hear what he has to say." Seeing Fang Yuyang was worried, she added, "Don’t worry, it’s just by the doorstep. I won’t go far."

Qiu Yiming looked down on Fang Yuyang’s attitude, thinking he was overstepping his bounds, but in front of Fang Yuxin, he refrained from speaking out, only casting Fang Yuyang a cold look as an expression of his displeasure.

Fang Yuyang also didn’t show a friendly face. He knew well that Qiu Yiming was too proud, self-righteous, and controlling. Whatever he said, Qiu Yiming would surely not listen. Tired of dealing with him, Fang Yuyang said to Fang Yuxin, "Then stay right at the doorstep. Don’t go too far!"

His tone really resembled that of an overprotective parent instructing a child who hadn’t yet grown up.

Fang Yuxin obediently nodded and walked with Qiu Yiming to the door, taking the initiative to say, "There’s no one else here, so go ahead and speak your mind."

Although Qiu Yiming had made up his mind, faced with Fang Yuxin, he suddenly didn’t know how to begin. He faltered, saying, "Xinxin, can we... not cancel our engagement?"

After saying it, Qiu Yiming was the first to be stunned. His purpose in seeking out Fang Yuxin hadn’t been to say this, yet the moment he spoke, his most genuine thoughts had slipped out.

Fang Yuxin fell silent for a moment. She had been prepared for the difficulty in dissolving the engagement with Qiu Yiming, but she felt that with Fang Mengyao present, it would inevitably be successful at some point.

She had been impetuous in her statements the day before, under the grip of her emotions, but now, with her regained confidence, she didn’t plan to make a scene with Qiu Yiming. After all, the cancellation of the engagement was a matter of when, not if, so there was no point in engaging in a pointless debate with him.

So she asked, "You came here just to tell me this?" She looked at Qiu Yiming, sensing this wasn’t what he initially wanted to say. She still understood him well enough; Qiu Yiming was a rational man, and he certainly wouldn’t be like those obtuse masters in TV dramas who, for the sake of romance, sacrificed their careers and reduced themselves to such disarray.

Qiu Yiming felt uneasy under her gaze but quickly regained composure, voicing the words he had prepared from the start, "Xinxin, I know a lot has happened recently, and I can understand how you feel. I hope we can both calm down and give ourselves a chance. Let’s hold off on discussing the cancellation of the engagement. During this time, I can maintain a distance from you. However, you must promise me one thing: stay away from Bai Ye!"

Fang Yuxin’s gaze gradually grew colder; she probably knew what Qiu Yiming was planning. Maybe it was for Fang Mengyao, or perhaps Zhou Fanghua had put pressure on him, and that’s why he wanted to keep his distance? But what kind of request was that? What right did Qiu Yiming have to make such a demand?

She bluntly said, "Qiu Yiming, I don’t understand what you mean. What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"

This clearly provoked Qiu Yiming. His eyes flashed with irritability as he replied in dissatisfaction, "What right? The right of being your fiancé! Xinxin, have you forgotten? As long as I don’t agree to cancel our engagement, I will always be your fiancé! I know you’re upset lately, so I agree to keep my distance for now, but you must also promise me to stay away from Bai Ye! If you don’t agree, then we’ll get married right now!"

Qiu Yiming said this angrily, aiming to force Fang Yuxin into a compromise. However, after uttering the words "get married," a strong impulse suddenly surged in him. He looked at Fang Yuxin and suddenly thought that even if he couldn’t obtain the secret weapon Fang Mengyao held, he would still marry her if she agreed!

Of course, Fang Yuxin could not possibly agree to marriage. She looked at Qiu Yiming with anger and disappointment and said through clenched teeth, "Qiu Yiming, you are being utterly unreasonable!"

After saying that, she paid him no further attention and turned to head back inside.

Qiu Yiming clenched his fists and called out from behind her, "Xinxin! You must agree to my terms! If you are with that man named Bai, I really don’t know what I might do."

Fang Yuxin stopped but did not turn back, simply stating, "Qiu Yiming, please leave. I don’t want to see you right now."

Qiu Yiming felt very unsettled not receiving Fang Yuxin’s answer, but after hesitating, he didn’t continue to speak. He knew Fang Yuxin’s temperament; pressing further would only work against him.

He turned and walked back, mulling over the thought as he left, "Bai Ye must be eliminated!" (To be continued.
