Mu Yiliang kept staring at him intently.

Seeing that he hadn’t reacted for a long time, her heart sank heavily!

"Si Jue..." she called softly, her voice broken and hoarse, "Si Jue, don’t scare me..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

His eyes flickered, as if he finally came out of that earlier state of bewilderment.

He blinked and looked at her, his eyes finally focusing.

"The wedding is canceled..." his tone was airy.

Mu Yiliang felt a dull pain in her heart and finally nodded: "Yes. We... let’s cancel the wedding."

He still stared at her, as if he didn’t react to this sentence at all.

The unease in Mu Yiliang’s heart grew bigger and bigger!

Why, when she was talking to him... did he keep zoning out?

In the room, except for Lan Yueru’s low sobbing, it was eerily quiet! It was as if everyone subconsciously held their breath!

Mu Yiliang felt the force on her wrist getting stronger, Yan Sijue was trembling more and more violently, as if he would break her wrist with brute force!

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found she couldn’t make a sound!

As if... something terrifying had happened in that instant.

The whole room seemed to drop to below freezing in temperature! It made her shiver all over!

The two experts who had never participated in their conversation suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, their teeth chattering!

Lan Yueru stopped crying, stood straight, instinctively looking at Yan Sijue, and Yang Ru also grew tense.

Mu Yiliang shivered! She suddenly realized, it seemed that in just an instant, the man’s expression had changed.

The corners of his mouth raised slowly, a sinister smile, but there was no trace of laughter in his eyes, only coldness!

Not even the slightest warmth in his brow or eyes!

Mu Yiliang stared blankly at him, and at that moment, she had a ridiculous feeling... the man in front of her seemed to have suddenly become another person.

"Mu Yiliang." He spoke, his voice gentle, his tone lazy, "Do you think just because you say the wedding is canceled that I’ll agree? Whether you want to forgive me or not, you must, and can only, marry me. When dawn breaks, obediently get your makeup done for me, don’t be troublesome anymore, be good." After speaking, he finally released her wrist, gently caressing her cheek, his fingers scorching yet icy, a sensation of fire and ice.

Mu Yiliang shivered once more! She suddenly felt extremely cold, as if her bones were filled with piercing ice!

The man in front of her... why would he say such things, that feeling was too unfamiliar, making her panicked from the bottom of her heart!

"Si Jue..." she murmured.

"Go back to sleep for a while. It will be dawn soon." The man slightly squinted his eyes, his smile still lazy, "The bride can’t have dark circles."

With that, he released Mu Yiliang’s wrist and glanced slightly at Yang Ru: "Come over, I have some things to ask you."

His tone was even gentle.

But Yang Ru trembled violently!

Yan Sijue turned and walked towards the door, lazily throwing a sentence: "Don’t make me wait too long."

Despite the extremely lazy tone, there was endless chill in it! Yang Ru’s expression was terrified, he dared not delay a second and quickly walked out!

Mu Yiliang and Lan Yueru exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and fear in each other’s eyes!

Si Jue... what on earth happened?
