"Yaoyao, I'll agree to the annulment of our engagement."
Silence reigned over the balcony once more.
A long time later, Shi Yao blinked her eyes as she pondered over Lin Jiage's words.
Yaoyao, I'll agree to the annulment of our engagement … This wasn't the first time he'd said this to her. He'd agreed to the annulment of their engagement. Back at the clubhouse, he'd also said the same thing to her when he was infuriated.
Compared to the previous time, his tone was much gentler this time, but for some reason, Shi Yao couldn't understand what was wrong with her. His calm tone, which seemed to have come from deep contemplation, made her feel inexplicably flustered.
Was he going to sever all contact with her just like that?
Shi Yao's black eyes darted around in bewilderment for a moment before she slowly turned her head to look at Lin Jiage.
The boy seemed to sense her gaze and tilted his head slightly, making eye contact with her.
The wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff messed up his hair and clothes, but his eyes that were looking at her were as calm as ever. Their gazes only met for a few short seconds before he spoke once more. There was an almost imperceptible firmness in his voice. It didn't seem like he was speaking to her but to himself, "Yaoyao, I'll agree to the annulment of our engagement."
This time, before he could finish his words, Shi Yao suddenly felt a sharp pain in the depths of her left chest.
How strange. She was the one who wanted to annul the engagement, and now that he'd finally agreed to it, why did her heart ache so much?
She didn't say anything.
He didn't wait for her to speak either. Instead, he stared at her quietly for a while longer before the corners of his lips curled up. There was a very, very faint smile on his face. "Yaoyao, you'll be free from now on. You can do whatever you want …"
He was clearly smiling.
But from his smile, Shi Yao could see a heavy sorrow in it.
Freedom … That's right … He's right. Ever since she gradually came to understand what that engagement represented, she had dreamed countless times of how wonderful it would be if she could be like other women, freely choosing her lover and being loved.
But now, freedom had really come … but why didn't she feel that it was any better!
"The things here are all for you. I'll have someone send them to your school later on …" Lin Jiage turned his head to look at the gourmet restaurant that was surrounded by colorful lights before continuing, "… I still have some other matters to attend to later, so I'll arrange a sightseeing bus for you to descend the mountain. It's parked at the entrance of the hotel, and our chauffeur is waiting at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. You can just tell him where you want to go."
After which, he turned to Shi Yao and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
After saying those words, Lin Jiage turned around.
As he stepped into the hotel room, Shi Yao shot a glance at Lin Jiage.
She stared at his back and opened her mouth to call out to him.
But when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back down.
