Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Engagement Canceled

Ning Xixi angrily yelled, "Is this what you were supposed to send? How can you write this nonsense?!"

Ji Yebai looked innocent, raising his long hand, "I can’t control my hand. It wasn’t me who wrote it, it was my hand. It seems it shook a little bit..."

"Shook my foot!" Ning Xixi yelled loudly, swinging her little fists at Ji Yebai!

Ji Yebai calmly stepped back, dodging her, and Ning Xixi could only watch as she fell towards the ground...

Suddenly, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Their eyes met.

Ji Yebai’s gaze, deep and dark like a vast starry sky, intently stared at Ning Xixi.

Ning Xixi leaned on his strong arm, looking up with clear eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, and her mind went blank in that moment.

Her mind was completely filled with Ji Yebai’s handsome face.

Her heart, as if suddenly clenched, changed its rhythm. Its regular beating gradually sped up, fluttering, rejoicing, restless, hesitant...

Bang—

The most splendid fireworks burst open, illuminating the entire sky, even the gleaming surface of the river reflected the dazzling light.

Just then, Ji Yebai’s hands loosened.

With a thud, Ning Xixi fell to the ground on her bottom.

She looked incredulously at Ji Yebai, only to see him nonchalantly say, "Hey, you’re too heavy, my hand just accidentally shook a little bit..."

Ning Xixi: ...!!

"Ji Yebai I’m going to kill you!!"

Such enmity! If she didn’t seek revenge, she wouldn’t be Ning Xixi!!

...

After a lot of commotion, Ji Yebai carried Ning Xixi back to the Ji Family home.

When they got home, Ning Xixi was already asleep, peacefully resting on the seat with her small cherry lips slightly curved.

"What sweet dreams are you having?" Ji Yebai whispered softly, recalling the scene by the river earlier...

He had almost lost control and kissed Ning Xixi, which is why he let go.

His self-control, in front of Ning Xixi, seemed to be increasingly fragile.

Not wanting to wake the little girl, Ji Yebai lifted her horizontally and carried her to the room.

After closing the door, Ji Mom approached him with hesitation on her face, as if she had something to say.

Ji Yebai: "Mom, what is it?"

Ji Mom clasped her hands, asking tentatively, "Yebai, what’s the progress of your relationship with Xixi?"

"What’s the matter?" Ji Yebai asked back.

Ji Mom sighed, "This afternoon, Xixi’s dad called, wanting to call off your engagement with Xixi... Did Xixi say something to him? Does Xixi... really not like you?"

Ji Yebai froze in place.

In his arms, the residual warmth of the girl seemed to linger. And now, that warmth was being gradually stripped away.

Just a second ago, she was still joking and wrestling with him, and now this second, she threw him a heavy blow!

The fingers hanging by his side slowly clenched into fists.

Ji Mom’s face turned gloomy, "Your dad and I have discussed this. Although we both really like Xixi, some things might really be beyond our control. It’s best you don’t like Xixi, but if you do, let her go. To love someone is not to possess them, but to fulfill them."

Ji Yebai’s deep voice trembled slightly, "So?"

"Let’s call off the engagement between the two of you."
