Chapter 784: Dissolution of Engagement (Extra 51)
It has been almost a year since Cheng Yiqing got married.
Sitting in the company and looking at the contract, Xi Zhi's cell phone buzzed.
He put away the pen and placed it on the table, then picked up the phone with his left hand, his eyelids twitching slightly as he looked at the note on it.
On the screen, a sentence reflected clearly in the pupils.
If everything goes well, I wish you a happy wedding.
Seeing this news, Xi Zhihu raised the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself. After closing the note, he slowly relaxed his back and lay on the chair. He looked down at the contract and saw that the words on the contract fell into a rare blank space.
"Deng, Deng, Deng." There was a knock on the door, followed by the assistant's voice, "Mr. Xi, Miss Shen is here."
"Let her in." Hearing the sound, Xi Zhi said calmly towards the door.
After saying that, the door opened a crack, and Shen Xi got in.
"Xizhi! Look what I bought you?" Shen Xi walked forward quickly with the cake in his hand.
Xi Zhi caught a glimpse of the cake in his hand and came to his senses. After slowly standing up from the chair, he took the coffee in his hand and looked at Shen Xi. He slowly opened his mouth and shouted, "Shen Xi."
"Huh?" Shen Xi placed the cake on the table, bent down and slowly removed the ribbon on it. Hearing Xi Zhi's voice, he smiled and tilted his head, "I know you don't like cakes, but I think it's okay. Birthdays should have a sense of ceremony, right? I specially asked for the mousse cake, which you will definitely enjoy later."
"." Xi Zhi's Adam's apple rolled when he saw this, and then he slowly interrupted, "Let's break off the engagement." Xi Zhi's voice was extremely heavy.
In the empty office with only two people, these words seemed to expand a hundred times and compress the space, causing Shen Xi's heart to shrink sharply.
The hands that were removing the ribbon trembled slightly, and Shen Xi's voice trembled slightly, "What are you talking about? If you don't like mousse cake, I'll try another one later. I'll try this one first and see how it tastes. No. , I will buy another one. Don’t blame me for being verbose, I didn’t do it for you. I handed in the test paper early from school, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to get it.”
Looking at Shen Xi's curved profile, Xi Zhi took a deep breath, looked at the gray sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said again, "Let's break off the engagement. Otherwise, it will be really unfair to you."
"Stop talking." Shen Xi stopped moving completely, and his voice was lowered several degrees due to his tight throat.
"I will compensate you." Xi Zhi was silent for a while, then looked at Shen Xi briefly and said.
After finishing speaking, Shen Xi took a deep breath, slowly straightened her back, turned around, and looked straight at Xi Zhi. Her clear eyes slowly turned red, and the accumulated tears filled her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, , lips tremblingly opened, "I, let, you, stop talking."
At this time, Shen Xi, who was standing not far from Xi Zhi, clenched his fists, bit his lower lip, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were full of tears that were about to fall. Xi Zhi wanted to take a step forward, but Shen Xi quickly took a step back.
Loosening his clenched fists, he raised his head and brushed away his tears. Shen Xi's eyes flickered from side to side twice, and then he looked at Xi Zhi, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Zhi frowned and took a step forward. Shen Xi raised his hand to stop him, quickly lowered his head, his hair fell in front of his face, blocking most of his sight, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Please let me calm down." I’ll give you an answer in a few days.”
After saying that, Shen Xi closed her eyes, pushed her hair behind her ear with her left hand, and quickly rushed out the door.
