Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Running Away from Home 1

"Miss Ning, I am your blind date partner. The heir to Yan Group — Yan Yichen."

A voice as soothing as a mountain spring casually dropped such a bombshell!

Ning Xixi’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yan Yichen.

With a clang, she accidentally knocked over a glass of water on the table, and water splashed all over the floor.

Yan Yichen, smiling, took out a handkerchief, grasped Ning Xixi’s fingers, and gently and considerately wiped the water stains off her hands.

Ning Xixi snapped back to reality, threw off his hand, and quickly backed away, her little face full of astonishment, "Blind date? What blind date?! Why is it a blind date with you?!"

Yan Yichen crossed his arms, elegantly looking down at her, a trace of imperceptible sympathy hidden in his eyes.

"Miss Ning, I wonder if you are satisfied with me?"

"What do you mean satisfied or not! What is this all about?"

Yan Yichen: "The Ning Family wants to form a marital alliance with the Yan Family, and the candidates of suitable marriage age are only you and me. This was agreed last week when my father went on a business trip with your father."

Last week...

Ning Xixi turned pale, "You mean, I have to marry you?"

"Heh, not too slow on the uptake."

Yan Yichen’s light laughter was like a knife, fiercely stabbing into her heart!

Ning Xixi clenched her fist, trying to stay calm: "Who wants to marry you, I have a marriage arrangement! I have a marriage arrangement with Ji Yebai!"

Suddenly, Yan Yichen pinched her chin, opened his eyes, and his light brown pupils, lustrous like glazed glass, shimmered, "Your father said that he wants to cancel the marriage arrangement with the Ji Family. Could it be... you didn’t know all of this?"

Boom—

It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck Ning Xixi. She looked dazed, as if all her strength had left her, and even her voice became hoarse and trembled, "Cancel... the marriage arrangement...?"

Watching the little girl’s world-crashing demeanor, Yan Yichen felt a softening at the bottom of his heart, a strange emotion surged, and his movements became much gentler, as if filled with pity, "Accept the reality."

Their fate was never in their own hands.

Tears welled up in Ning Xixi’s eyes, and trembling, she took out her phone to call her father.

No answer.

She then switched to her father’s assistant, and this time, the call connected.

"What is this blind date all about?" she asked angrily.

The assistant spoke indifferently: "Miss, I hope you do not disappoint President Ning. President Ning always had few demands on you, but this is his expectation of you."

Expectations...

Are expectations all so laughable?

"Why? Why sell me off to someone else as if pricing me out like a commodity?" Ning Xixi grew increasingly upset, "Why not ask for my opinion, why not ask if I want to get married? Is profit important? Doesn’t the daughter matter?"

The assistant let her vent, then succinctly said: "Miss, please cooperate with Young Master Yan. The engagement details are arranged, I will send them to your email."

The call was ruthlessly disconnected.

Ning Xixi stood stunned on the spot, while Yan Yichen looked at her with pity, "Suddenly, I feel like you are a bit pitiful."

"Aren’t you the same?" Ning Xixi murmured.

Yan Yichen was silent.

Ning Xixi stood up, soulless and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going? Ning Xixi?"

Ning Xixi didn’t respond to him, leaving the restaurant all alone.
