Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600: Abandoned
Yiyi’s gaze finally landed on Ling Kong, her expression utterly resolute and cold.
"I... have no plans to get married. At least for the next ten years, I won’t be getting married."
Ji Hua was shocked: "Not getting married for ten years, what does that mean? My brother will be thirty-four by then, what’s going on?"
Ling Kong’s body suddenly stiffened.
All the guests present were astounded, thinking she was going to announce her engagement to Ling Kong. After all, the atmosphere between them was so intense, passionate, and ambiguous earlier, it was obvious to everyone that their relationship was quite intimate.
But in the blink of an eye, this young lady suddenly said she wouldn’t be getting married. This change was simply too shocking. What exactly happened between these two? They broke up so abruptly; it’s undoubtedly the biggest mystery topic of the year.
Not only the surrounding guests didn’t understand what had happened, even Ling Kong himself didn’t understand.
His face was full of shock, looking at her incredulously, his emotions raging inside, his handsome face turning pale. Why did she suddenly start to hate him so much, with such a cold and unfeeling expression, as if he didn’t exist?
He gazed at her blankly, asking her with his eyes, but she avoided his gaze, turned her head, and looked around at the guests, smiling lightly.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party tonight. I wish you all a pleasant evening. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first!"
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly walked down from the small stage, as if trying to escape something, her steps fast, rushing upstairs without looking back.
The whole place fell silent, speechless, the atmosphere stiff, everyone felt somewhat embarrassed, then involuntarily turned their gaze to the male lead Ling Kong, looking at him with deep sympathy.
Just now, the couple’s expressions were so affectionate, performing a romantic opening dance, thinking the beginning of a fairy tale would also have a beautiful fairy-tale ending. Yet unexpectedly, the prince was dumped by the fickle princess in an instant.
This Yiyi really can be ruthless, Ling Kong is among the top young talents in North American high society, with impeccable family background, ability, appearance, and charisma, a man so perfect that countless women dream of marrying him, countless wealthy heiresses fighting to win him over.
Yet this little princess could just dump him, truly enviable and infuriating, others can’t even get him no matter how hard they try, but she doesn’t want him.
Poor Ji Family’s eldest son, his heart must be suffering terribly at this moment.
The guests tried to see some signs of heartbreak on Ling Kong’s face.
But what met their eyes was merely a handsome face cold as ice, emitting princely pride and defiance amongst all the sympathetic gazes, without even an upward glance.
He even casually and calmly picked up a glass of red wine, elegantly sipping it, as if this matter hadn’t dealt any blow to him at all.
The guests thought, well, Ling Kong is so exceptional, it’s not like he can’t find a wife, there are plenty of fish in the sea, maybe he didn’t care about Yiyi at all, judging by his expression, he doesn’t mind.
After all, they’re all young, what deep love can there be, today’s youth break up without taking it seriously.
However, what they didn’t see was that the wine glass in Ling Kong’s hand was nearly breaking under his grip.
He struggled to endure, preventing any trace of shock and pain from appearing on his face, because he represented the Ji Family, he couldn’t allow his personal matters to tarnish the reputation of the Ji Clan, so he pretended not to care.
Yet no matter how convincing his act, his heart was trembling! Shocked! Sorrowful!
