Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 948: Breaking Off the Engagement

Gu Lingqian withdrew his gaze, smiling without speaking.

"There are many children in the orphanage, and every time Young Master Ling goes, he buys a lot of daily necessities and snacks." Nan Shen’s voice came from the front.

"Brother Ling Qian, do you often go to the orphanage?" Xia Yinian was almost too surprised to speak.

"I’ve been there a few times." Gu Lingqian said softly.

Nan Shen wanted to say that during the time Lady Nian was in Yaoshan, every time Young Master Ling missed her, he would go to the orphanage.

Even when he was very busy, he would still make time to go.

No one knew how much Gu Lingqian loved Xia Yinian, except for Nan Shen.

But, receiving a warning look in the rearview mirror, Nan Shen had to keep quiet.

The car drove into the underground parking lot of a large supermarket, Nan Shen got out of the car, and the other two remained inside.

"Brother Ling Qian, this..."

"Let Nan Shen take care of it, he knows the kids in the orphanage well and will know what they like." Gu Lingqian responded softly.

"Knowing everyone’s preferences? I didn’t realize Nan Shen could be so tender; he always seems so cold."

Xia Yinian glanced back at the departing figure, almost inclined to praise him.

Gu Lingqian looked intently at the girl’s profile, saying nothing.

After a while, Xia Yinian bit her lip and looked back at Gu Lingqian.

"Brother Ling Qian, you really don’t need to go to the orphanage, the director told me everything is fine now."

When she turned back, Gu Lingqian shifted his gaze.

What is Brother Ling Qian’s status? His presence at the orphanage is indeed strange.

"Our agreement didn’t include this." Xia Yinian pursed her lips, adding a sentence.

"It doesn’t matter, it’s just doing a good deed." Gu Lingqian said softly.

"Oh." Xia Yinian nodded, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to begin.

Yet, there were some things she had to confess to him, otherwise, she wouldn’t feel at ease.

"By the way, I... have been thinking about our engagement." After hesitating, Xia Yinian’s voice sounded again.

"Brother Ling Qian, I don’t want to keep holding you back. If you find the right girl, then find an opportunity to break off the engagement."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xia Yinian took a deep breath.

"Grandma wants a great-grandchild, and it’s not good to keep deceiving her. Actually, last night... Uncle was in my room."

"I don’t know how to handle the relationship between us, you and me, and Uncle..."

"If you don’t know how to handle it, then don’t. Just strive for the life you want." Gu Lingqian pulled her into his arms with a sweep of his large hand.

"Unless you find your own happiness, otherwise I don’t want to cancel the engagement, or wait until the agreement ends."

Xia Yinian was stunned by Gu Lingqian’s words and even forgot to push him away. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Being unconditionally protected by someone, that feeling is truly wonderful.

She didn’t know what good deeds she had done in her past life to deserve meeting Brother Ling Qian in this life, and to have him protect her like this.

About a minute later, Xia Yinian stepped away from Gu Lingqian’s embrace, looking at him seriously.

"This isn’t fair to you, it’s not what I want anymore."

"This is our agreement, there’s no fair or unfair. Do you want to break the agreement?" Gu Lingqian met her gaze, his expression neutral.

Did she think breaking off the engagement would be fair to him? In fact, for him, not being able to protect her side by side is the cruelest thing.
