Chapter 51: The Engagement

    Of course, Shen Xingyang was the one people didn’t agree with, not him disagreeing with others, but since Song Yichen said he would figure it out himself, then it was none of his business, and he was too lazy to care.

    Song Yichen was good in every way, except he was clueless about romance, and his mouth was incredibly venomous. Although it was difficult for the person he liked to be with him, he still understood matters of the heart.

    Not long after the engagement was canceled, Yun Miaoyi found a reason to come looking for Song Yichen. If Song Yichen didn’t understand Yun Miaoyi’s intentions at this point, then he was just plain stupid.

    So Song Yichen wasn’t happy at all, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed like a lord, coldly looking at Yun Miaoyi.

    He practically had the words “I don’t want to talk to you” written all over his face, but Yun Miaoyi didn’t seem to care, walking towards Song Yichen.

    “Miss Yun, does the Mayor know you’re so eager to offer yourself up?”

    From their first meeting, Yun Miaoyi had looked at him with a possessive gaze, as if he were an object, and later she had her father deliberately mention the engagement. Her intentions were obvious.

    At first, he thought he was just overthinking it, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case. He had even felt like he had offended Yun Miaoyi, but it turned out that his initial thoughts were correct!

    He had almost doubted his own ability to analyze people.

    Yun Miaoyi had come because she heard that the Song family wanted to cancel the engagement. Although she had long known it would be canceled, she hadn’t expected Song Yichen to be so resistant to her, especially since Song Yichen used to be so clingy when they were kids.

    But she wasn’t worried. She had known Song Yichen since they were children, and they had a foundation of affection.

    It was just that they had been separated for too many years, so they had become estranged.

    She was confident that Song Yichen would be as clingy to her as he was when they were young. Both she and Song Yichen were leaders in the medical field, undoubtedly the most suitable match.

    “Young Master Song, you and I had an engagement, but now you’re unilaterally proposing to end it. We haven’t agreed yet!”

    Song Yichen sneered, not even bothering to give Yun Miaoyi a glance.

    “Children playing house, were my parents confused, or is Miss Yun confused?”

    “I didn’t take it seriously before, but since I saw you at the medical conference last time, this engagement has been valid. Song Yichen, you’re excellent enough, but can a sickly person who’s destined to die young really…”

    “Yun Miaoyi.”

    Song Yichen had been indifferent, with no emotional fluctuations, his attention focused on the documents in his hand. But when Yun Miaoyi said those words, Song Yichen suddenly stood up and shouted, stopping Yun Miaoyi from continuing.

    Yun Miaoyi knowing about Shen Xingyang meant she had investigated him in secret. Now that she wasn’t hiding her intentions, Song Yichen didn’t need to be polite to her either.

    “Yun Miaoyi, you should be glad I don’t hit women.”

    “Get out.”

    It was the first time Song Yichen had gotten angry in front of Yun Miaoyi. Yun Miaoyi hadn’t expected Song Yichen to be so angry just from her saying that.

    It seemed that Shen Jinjue was right; Song Yichen really liked Shen Xingyang.

    Yun Miaoyi wasn’t angry, her composure unchanged, and she simply nodded.

    “Alright, I’ll leave, but I believe that one day, you’ll realize I’m right.”

    After Yun Miaoyi finished speaking, she walked out in her red-soled high heels. The sound of her heels clicking made Song Yichen even more irritable.

    “Crazy woman.”

    What kind of lunatic dared to come and act wildly in front of him? Such a pity that Mayor Yun, such an excellent person, had such a child.

    For someone who studies medicine to say that about a patient, even if Shen Xingyang wasn’t the person he loved, he wouldn’t have any good feelings towards Yun Miaoyi.

    “I’m not going. Arrange for Song Qingyang to go.”

    After Song Yichen finished speaking, he hung up the phone angrily.

    He had made himself so clear, yet the old man still wanted him to sign the contract. Was he the only person in the Song family?

    Song Qingyang was a gigolo; he had no sense of awareness at all.

    Shen Xingyang frowned, looked up at Song Yichen: “What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”

    Song Yichen threw his phone aside and continued to pull Shen Xingyang into his arms.

    “My dad, I didn’t tell you before, my dad and Mayor Yun of City A graduated from the same school and had a good relationship. When Mayor Yun’s daughter came to Mu City to study, I must have been four or five years old, and I liked to cling to her. Later, my parents made a verbal agreement for us to marry, but so many years have passed, no one mentioned it, and it was almost forgotten.”

    After Song Yichen finished speaking, he looked helpless. He didn’t even want to talk about what came after, but looking at Shen Xingyang’s expectant gaze, he couldn’t help but continue.

    He must have been sick when he was a kid, chasing after someone.

    Thinking about it now, it’s even more embarrassing.

    “Later, I went to City A to attend that medical conference, and I don’t know what Yun Miaoyi was thinking, but she suddenly brought up this engagement. So, she came to Mu City a few days ago and said she wanted to buy some medical equipment. Today is the day to sign the contract. On the surface, it’s signing the contract, but it’s actually a blind date arranged by my dad. I don’t want to go.”

    Song Yichen said aggrievedly, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Xingyang seemed to say, “Praise me, I remained virtuous!”

    How could Shen Xingyang not know his little thoughts? He looked at Song Yichen seriously, suddenly turned his head, looked around, saw Xingyun, and asked Song Yichen.

    “Song Yichen, look, you’re as childish as it is…”

    Song Yichen thought Shen Xingyang was going to say something, but it turned out he was just calling him childish!

    ……

    “Shen Xingyang, would it kill you to praise me?”

    “Have you no shame, Song Yichen?”

    The two were playfully fighting on the sofa when Song Yichen’s phone kept ringing.

    “Your dad is urging you again. Go, go.”

    Shen Xingyang looked at Song Yichen with schadenfreude, laughing happily.

    Song Yichen touched his arm, which had been pinched purple by Shen Xingyang, and reluctantly answered the phone.

    “Alright, alright, I’m going now.”

    Song Yichen got up irritably and put on his coat, “Help me tie it.”

    Song Yichen put the tie in Shen Xingyang’s hand and leaned down.

    Shen Xingyang didn’t refuse and helped Song Yichen tie it.

    Song Yichen was about to get up when Shen Xingyang pulled him down, almost causing him to bump into Shen Xingyang.

    Shen Xingyang ignored Song Yichen’s gaze and leaned close to Song Yichen’s ear.

    “Song Yichen, if you dare to come back to me smelling of other women, I’ll make the pinch marks on your arms symmetrical.”

    After Shen Xingyang finished speaking, he released Song Yichen’s tie and continued to sit back in his seat.

    Song Yichen touched his arm, which was already starting to hurt. Shen Xingyang’s pinching was quite painful. Where was the gentle Shen Xingyang from before?

    “Don’t worry, your husband is self-disciplined.”

    Song Yichen smiled, stepped forward, grabbed Shen Xingyang and kissed him hard, then quickly let go, not giving Shen Xingyang a chance to teach him a lesson.

    He waved goodbye to Shen Xingyang, and soon heard the sound of the door closing.

    Shen Xingyang smiled helplessly. He was very relieved about Song Yichen.
