Liang Mumu and Lin Jiage were extremely familiar with one another, so as soon as Lin Jiage stepped into the elevator, Liang Mumu immediately spoke up, "Brother Jia, what a coincidence! To think that we would bump into each other here."
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm" before falling silent.
The elevator fell silent for a moment. Seeing that Lin Jiage and Shi Yao weren't showing any signs of speaking, Liang Mumu spoke up once more with an innocent and perplexed voice, "Brother Jia, Yaoyao, why aren't you two greeting each other?"
Hearing Liang Mumu's words, Lin Jiage frowned slightly before turning his gaze toward Shi Yao.
His eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Shi Yao felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she moved her lips, intending to greet him to alleviate the awkwardness.
But before she could say anything, Lin Jiage had already turned his gaze toward Liang Mumu and asked, "She is?"
His voice was just like him, clear and refreshing, reminiscent of the sounds of nature. Yet, the words that came out of his mouth caused Shi Yao's hands to clench into fists.
Liang Mumu didn't expect Lin Jiage to say such words either. She was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Brother Jia, you must be joking with me, right? How could you possibly not know her? She's Yaoyao! "
Lin Jiage's face remained impassive.
Liang Mumu spoke up once more with a slightly anxious tone, "Yaoyao! Shi Yao! Your fiancée! "
"Your fiancée —" Those words struck Lin Jiage and the others like a bolt of lightning, and they immediately turned their gazes toward Shi Yao.
In contrast to the astonishment of the others, Lin Jiage appeared much calmer. He fell silent for a moment before replying with a nonchalant "Oh". Then, as if nothing had happened, he retracted his gaze and looked at the elevator in front of him.
Liang Mumu had already introduced Shi Yao as Lin Jiage's fiancée, but Lin Jiage still didn't greet Shi Yao. The atmosphere in the elevator inevitably became a little tense.
Liang Mumu also didn't expect things to turn out this way. She stood beside Shi Yao, completely at a loss as to what to do.
No one spoke anymore in the elevator, but everyone's eyes were still fixed on Shi Yao.
Shi Yao knew that everyone was watching a show, and she also knew that Lin Jiage's reaction had embarrassed her. Nevertheless, she still tried her best to maintain her composure.
Soon, the elevator reached the first floor.
Barely after she opened the door slightly, Shi Yao turned to Liang Mumu and said, "Mumu, I'll be leaving first."
After saying those words, Shi Yao didn't linger for even a moment longer before leaving in a hurry.
Getting into the taxi, Shi Yao gazed at the bustling night scenery through the window as she replayed the earlier incident in the elevator in her mind.
It turned out that Lin Jiage didn't remember her at all.
But that was normal. They were betrothed to each other when they were still in middle school, and it had been six years since they found out about this marriage. In these six years, the number of times they met could be counted on one hand, and even when they did, the two of them barely talked.
If she didn't remember wrongly, the last time they met was last year.
So, it wasn't that Lin Jiage didn't remember her, but other than knowing that she had a fiancée named Shi Yao, he didn't know anything else about her.
It seemed that what she had guessed last night was right. He had never wanted this marriage.
However, it didn't matter. For some reason, she had already proposed to him to cancel the engagement, and he had also agreed. He and she would soon have nothing to do with each other.
