The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 656 - 654: Let’s Cancel Our Engagement

The car quickly arrived at its destination and stopped. Ning Zesheng got out and went to open the passenger door. As Gu Xiyao stepped down, she said, "Do you have time tomorrow? We’ll go to the Ning Family. We’ve been engaged for so many years, Mrs. Ning can’t really oppose us anymore. Moreover, she wouldn’t directly offend our Gu Family."

"Since you know, why didn’t we talk properly about the marriage business during the previous visits to the Ning Family?"

Gu Xiyao paused in her steps and listened to Ning Zesheng say, "No need to go to the Ning Family tomorrow. Gu Xiyao, let’s annul the engagement?"

Gu Xiyao was silent for a moment, then turned her head with a smile, "Why make such a joke for no reason?"

"I’m not joking!" Ning Zesheng closed the car door and walked up to Gu Xiyao, looking down at her. "Don’t you want to dissolve the engagement?"

"Why would I think like that? We’ve been engaged for five years." Gu Xiyao’s lips maintained a gentle and comfortable smile, her demeanor still as graceful as ever.

Ning Zesheng let out a sigh of relief, "Five years engaged, and you’ve never mentioned marriage. Now you suddenly come back saying you want to discuss the wedding, isn’t it just an excuse to return? Gu Xiyao, you might just have found out that Lu Beichen got married, so you couldn’t wait to come back and confirm it?"

Gu Xiyao seemed to be hit by an inner secret, her smile fainted a bit, but she still pinched her clothes and replied, "What nonsense are you saying now, you even thought I was Nian Nian’s biological mother before."

"Don’t you wish it was true?"

Gu Xiyao shuddered entirely!

"Gu Xiyao, let’s annul the engagement? I don’t know what exactly happened back then, why you agreed to get engaged with me instead of Lu Beichen, but I can tell that the one you always liked is Lu Beichen. Despite our five-year engagement, we rarely saw each other and have no real feelings. Why not just end it like this, how do you feel about that?"

Gu Xiyao smiled faintly, "Ah Sheng, I know you like that actress."

Ning Zesheng frowned.

"But, can you marry her? Your social statuses are so disparate, would the Ning Family agree?"

Gu Xiyao said lightly, "Let’s pretend we didn’t have this conversation today, let’s stay like this. I’m tired too. You took care of me all night, better go home and rest early."

"Since I’ve said it, how can it be taken as never said?" Ning Zesheng was exceedingly calm, "We must annul the engagement."

"Why?" Gu Xiyao asked with remarkable calm and patience.

"We are not right for each other." Ning Zesheng replied directly, "Besides, as you said, I indeed like Qiao Anlu. I also want to fight for someone I care about."

"When did it start?" Gu Xiyao asked quietly, "When did you start liking Qiao Anlu?"

"Two or three years ago." Ning Zesheng answered truthfully.

"No wonder you went along with the engagement arrangement initially, and then, after having someone you liked, you managed to bear it for this long. It’s not easy for you either. So the engagement must be annulled, right?" Gu Xiyao smiled gently at him.

"Yes."

"But it’s not that easy, let me think, I want to rest now!"

"Alright, you rest first!" Ning Zesheng finished speaking and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Gu Xiyao called out to him. She bit her lip and spoke after a while, "Ning Zesheng, in the end, how am I not as good as her? You obviously got engaged to me."

Ning Zesheng pursed his lips, "This question, you’re actually wanting to ask Lu Beichen, aren’t you? You obviously grew up with him."
