Damn it! Qin Chu was a bit angry. You didn't reject the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal, you were ambiguous, and now that I'm here to dissolve the engagement, you still dare to kick someone?
Qin Chu was angry, but everyone else was stunned, including Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han. They remembered their daughter was gentle and well-behaved, never losing her temper. Now, in front of her elders, she just kicked someone?
Qin Longhan was also surprised. What was the situation with this Azure Dragon Holy Family's princess? With so many people around, she just exploded?
Qin Chu patted the shoe print on his robe, then looked at Shangshu Yu, "Can you be reasonable? You haven't even rejected the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal, so what's the point of keeping this engagement?"
"The White Tiger Holy Family came to propose, and I ran away from the Family, all because of this engagement!" Shangshu Yu said, taking off her veil.
"Senior Sister..." Qin Chu was flustered, taking a step back.
Shangshu Yu took a step forward, "Aren't you going to break off the engagement? I want to hear you say it yourself!"
Qin Chu took another step back, directly knocking over the chair behind him, "I didn't know it was you, Senior Sister, and you didn't tell me."
"Go on, say you want to break off the engagement again!" Shangshu Yu's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu recovered, but didn't say anything. Since the other person was Shangshu Yu, he no longer wanted to break off the engagement, so he remained silent.
Shangshu Tianye stood up, "Clan Chief Qin, this hall is a bit stifling. How about we change places to drink tea?"
Qin Longhan looked at Qin Chu, who was firmly held by Shangshu Yu, then nodded to Shangshu Tianye. He knew that the matter of dissolving the engagement might have changed, but it wasn't a bad thing.
Everyone in the hall left. Wet Nurse Yu was the last to leave, telling the guards to stay far away.
"Senior Sister, isn't this too much? Why didn't you tell me about these things?" Qin Chu said, looking at Shangshu Yu somewhat awkwardly.
Shangshu Yu's beautiful eyes looked at Qin Chu, "You mean I'm wrong? You want me to lose Face, shamelessly tell you that I am your fiancée from the engagement? Don't you know that you've been talking about breaking off the engagement all this time? Should I tell you that I'm your fiancée, and then ask you not to break off the engagement?"
Qin Chu was a bit flustered. He knew the problem lay with his slow reaction. If he had guessed more, thought more, it wouldn't have come to this.
"Senior Sister, that... that, can I not break off the engagement?" Qin Chu whispered.
"No! Aren't you too capable, not wanting it?" A blush appeared on Shangshu Yu's Face, because Qin Chu's words meant he wanted to marry her.
"Senior Sister, what I don't want is a stranger, an Azure Dragon Holy Family princess who didn't reject the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal, not you!" Qin Chu explained.
Shangshu Yu glared at Qin Chu, "My parents only have one daughter, and the Azure Dragon Holy Family only has one princess in this generation, me! Didn't I reject the White Tiger Holy Family by running away from the marriage?"
"Senior Sister, I was wrong, just let me off the hook!" After hearing Shangshu Yu's words, Qin Chu felt relieved, because Shangshu Yu had not betrayed the engagement.
Shangshu Yu sat down on a chair, "It's a good thing you listened to me and were willing to meet before breaking off the engagement, otherwise we would have been strangers."
"How could I not listen to Senior Sister's words?" Qin Chu said softly.
Hearing Qin Chu's words, Shangshu Yu smiled. Before seeing Qin Chu, she was angry; after seeing Qin Chu, she was happy. Qin Chu not wanting to break off the engagement meant he cared about her.
"Senior Sister is truly beautiful today." Seeing Shangshu Yu smile, Qin Chu complimented her.
Shangshu Yu looked at Qin Chu, "So you mean I wasn't beautiful before?"
"No... no, it's just a different feeling." Qin Chu quickly explained, he didn't want to make Shangshu Yu unhappy again.
"Qin Chu, my parents did not give up on this engagement. They initially didn't reject the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal because Father didn't want to hurt the Face of the clan elders. Later, after knowing about your appearance, my Father immediately rejected the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal. Those two Spirit Intent Herbs were actually just an excuse, a way for my parents to reject the White Tiger Holy Family and provide an explanation to the clan elders. As for me, I ran away back then, so I didn't betray it. I also haven't lied to you, I just didn't say some things, at most there was some concealment, but no deception." Shangshu Yu said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Senior Sister, I understand. The key now is, I've already said those words, how do I explain it to your parents?" Qin Chu rubbed his head, feeling that things had gone awry.
Shangshu Yu looked at Qin Chu, "I don't care about that. You have to handle this properly, otherwise you'll never see me again."
Qin Chu nodded, then began to ponder how to get Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han to agree. He also knew why Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han looked familiar; he had seen them at the Alchemist Guild. It turned out they had already started observing him. Thinking about how he hadn't given Shangshu Tianye Face at the Alchemist Guild, Qin Chu felt a headache. This was karma; he had made things difficult for them then, and now he wanted to marry their daughter?
With a headache, Qin Chu told Shangshu Yu about the situation and asked her to think of a solution. Shangshu Yu just smiled. In fact, she understood that her parents had a very good impression of Qin Chu. Even Shangshu Tianye, who had been put in a difficult position by Qin Chu, highly approved of him. The most they would do next was make things difficult, but they wouldn't object.
In the garden of the Azure Dragon Holy Family castle, Shangshu Tianye and Qin Longhan and others sat down again. Maids served tea.
Shangshu Tianye explained the reason for not rejecting the White Tiger Holy Family's marriage proposal at that time, stating that he had not betrayed the engagement set years ago.
"We can understand. Besides, the Vermilion Bird Holy Family had no news, and there's no reason to make your princess wait indefinitely. We don't blame you at all." Qin Longhan noticed that Shangshu Tianye had no intention of dissolving the engagement, and furthermore, Qin Chu and Shangshu Yu clearly had feelings for each other, so he naturally wouldn't insist on dissolving the engagement.
"This Seat and my wife have met Qin Chu before. He is kind-hearted and very principled. Honestly, my wife and I like him very much." Shangshu Tianye said.
"Clan Chief and Madam have met Qin Chu?" Qin Lingxi asked, somewhat surprised.
Zhen Han smiled, then recounted how she and her husband had separately bought Medicinal Pills from Qin Chu, and the different treatment they received.
Now it was Qin Longhan and the others' turn to be awkward. Qin Chu wanted to marry their daughter, but he hadn't even done anything yet and had already severely offended his future father-in-law.
"Clan Chief Shangshu, if you don't object to this engagement continuing, then just give him a good hard time." Qin Longhan said. What could he do at this point? He could only hand over his grandson to be dealt with as they pleased.
"Naturally, he shouldn't get it too easily. If it's too easy, he won't cherish it! Come, prepare a banquet. This Seat will host Clan Chief Qin and the others. Also, send someone to urge Qin Chu and see what he says." Shangshu Tianye called out to a subordinate.
"Then I'll go urge him!" Wet Nurse Yu said.
Zhen Han looked at Wet Nurse Yu, wanting to say something but didn't. She genuinely didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Chu.
When Wet Nurse Yu appeared in the main hall and told him to scram, Qin Chu was a bit bewildered.
