Wang Xiangyun’s weeping face was like a flower after a refreshing rain. It clearly looked like something that would make anyone who saw it feel heartache and pity. However, Dongfang Ming didn’t feel anything at all.
He said something that made her feel even sadder: “I will never marry you no matter what year it is. Your disagreement is completely invalid to me!”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t waste any more time and pulled her out the door.
With the sound of a bang, the room door was shut tightly and it was also locked.
Wang Xiangyun looked at the closed door and tears kept streaming down her cheeks…
It wasn’t that she’d never thought about giving up before…she’d thought about it not so long ago. However, whenever she thought about the man she’d liked since she was young living with another woman, it felt unbearable and made her not want to let him go!
She wanted to be with him no matter what…
At this time, a woman who was about Wang Xiangyun’s age walked over. She wiped her tears and helped her up. “Miss, don’t cry anymore. Let’s go back to our room.”
Her tears kept coming out like a flood that had broken through a dike. Wang Xiangyun mumbled out, “Little Tian, why does Brother Ming always treat me like this? He…he even said he wants to cancel our engagement. Boohoo…”
She hugged her tightly and kept crying. She was very very sad…
The servant girl named Little Tian was also twenty years old but slightly older than Wang Xiangyun by three months. The two of them had grown up together because her grandmother was Wang Xiangyun’s wet nurse. Although she was her servant, they were as close as sisters. Wang Xiangyun would share all her personal thoughts with her.
She was as sweet as her name suggested [1]. Although she wasn’t very beautiful her smile was extremely sweet. Moreover, this name had been personally given to her by Wang Xiangyun!
“Miss, Dongfang Ming perhaps just said that to scare you, don’t take it as the truth. Let’s go back to our room. Don’t cry, if you keep crying your eyes won’t be beautiful anymore…”
Little Tian spoke softly, trying to cheer her up. She helped her back to their room.
When they arrived back in the room, Little Tian asked her to sit down and she went to get some hot water to wipe the tear stains from her face.
“Miss, please stop crying, okay? Dongfang Ming won’t cancel the engagement. You need to relax. Come on, stop crying…”
She didn’t know why she was so obsessed with Dongfang Ming. It was like her soul would leave her body if she didn’t see him for one day.
When Dongfang Ming suddenly left the capital to come to this small town, in order to find out where he went, Wang Xiangyun would go to Dongfang’s mansion every day and kept pestering Ming Yan, Dongfang Ming’s personal bodyguard.
In order not to get found out and followed by Wang Xiangyun, Dongfang Ming didn’t bring Ming Yan with him.
Although Ming Yan didn’t tell her where he went, he forgot his own mother would help Wang Xiangyun to put pressure on Ming Yan. In the end, he let her know where Dongfang Ming went.
Wang Xiangyun asked while she wiped her tears, “Little Tian, why did you say Brother Ming won’t cancel the engagement?”
“Miss, this engagement was set up by Madam and Mrs. Dongfang. Is he able to cancel it just because he said so? Would Mrs. Dongfang agree? Miss, you need to relax and stop crying…”
“But…”
Little Tian interrupted her and said, “No buts. Miss, I know what you want to say, but you don’t need to worry about those things. Mrs. Dongfang and Madam will take care of all of them!”
There would be people who opposed him if Dongfang Ming wanted to cancel the engagement, so why should they think so much of it?
“Miss, if you don’t want to marry anyone other than Dongfang Ming, then you only need to wait until you become his bride. You don’t need to think about anything else. If you feel tired and want to give up, Little Tian will also support you.”
Truth be told, she didn’t want her Miss to marry Dongfang Ming. It was because she didn’t think she would have a happy life if she married him. This was because he didn’t just dislike her slightly, but he totally didn’t like her at all!
