After the call was disconnected, Xu Weilai sat on the couch, dumbfounded. Her face slowly turned white.

Her father saw her expression, and asked matter-of-factly, “Weilai, was that Yu on the line? What did he say? Is there going to be a wedding soon?”

Her mother looked at her expectantly from the side, waiting for her reply.

Is there going to be a wedding soon?

That question broke Xu Weilai out of her stupor, and she jerked her head up. She met her parents’ eyes as she trembled involuntarily and bit her lip subconsciously.

After that fateful day, the news of her spending the night together with Gu Yu had been spread by an unknown source. Before she knew it, everyone in their circle had become aware of that fact.

When the news reached Mr. and Mrs. Xu, they were elated. Because of Gu Yu’s indifferent att.i.tude towards their daughter, they had been expecting the betrothal to go up in flames sooner or later. It, therefore, came as a pleasant surprise that Gu Yu had consummated his relations.h.i.+p with Xu Weilai.

With this relations.h.i.+p consummated, Gu Yu would naturally have to marry their daughter!

Xu Weilai observed the joyful smiles on her parents’ faces. She opened her mouth, but no words came out, and she closed it again. She couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

She was quiet for a long time, and the look in her eyes was somber. Xu Weilai’s father finally realized that something wasn’t right. The smile disappeared from his face, and he asked in a serious tone, “Weilai, is something wrong? Just what did Yu say?”

Xu Weilai didn’t dare to meet her father’s gaze. She knew how much her parents were hoping for her and Gu Yu to get married, and for her to become the mistress of the Gu family!

She lowered her eyes and stared at her pale fingers for a good 20 seconds before forcing the words out of her throat, “Gu Yu said that he wants to break the engagement…”

Her voice was weak and feeble.
