Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Have to Choose One _1
Wang Yating grew more and more irritated as she thought about it, and the feeling of discontent in her heart intensified.
Even if you are highly skilled, dazzled on stage, and won the helmet at the Martial Artist’s Conference, you still have no right to look down on others!
She tried to calm herself and said indifferently, "I didn’t come to you because of the marriage agreement, but rather to present you with the Martial Artist Conference champion’s reward, to take you back, and to appoint you as the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad."
Ye Ming’s marriage agreement was right there, but she didn’t reach out to take it, pretending as if she hadn’t seen it.
To her surprise, Ye Ming immediately refused, "Miss Wang, as for the position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, I’d rather not take it."
"What?" Wang Yating furrowed her brows, her complexion shifting once more, "The position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad is the prize for the champion of the Martial Artist’s Conference! You don’t want it?"
Ye Ming nodded, saying somewhat ashamedly, "To tell you the truth, I didn’t participate in the Martial Artist’s Conference to compete for an instructor’s position, but just to gain respect from others."
"Whether I take this instructor position or not, I’m really not interested in it, you might as well give it to someone else."
His straightforward refusal baffled Wang Yating.
The position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad was incredibly important; numerous people went to great lengths for it, yet Ye Ming, having secured it, was willing to give it up.
From his unequivocal manner, Wang Yating could sense that he truly didn’t care, or perhaps, he simply didn’t understand what it meant to hold such a position.
Wang Yating took a deep breath and said, "Ye Ming, do you even realize what you’re saying?"
"So many people dream of this position, and yet you..."
Ye Ming smiled lightly and said, "Miss Wang, I’m not joking with you. As for the position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, let’s forget about it. I’m really not interested and I don’t have the time!"
"As for the marriage agreement between you and me, it’s definitely off the table. After all, this is the first time we are meeting, and we don’t know each other. I suppose you also detest these arranged marriages. One’s life should certainly be in one’s own hands, so please take this marriage agreement back."
I have no objections."
Ye Ming, as if pressed for time, pushed the marriage agreement back without any sentimentality.
Wang Yating’s face was filled with helplessness, convinced that Ye Ming must be insane, or that his head was filled with mush from training too hard.
He just kept pushing the favorable circumstances that came his way out the door, eager to get rid of her, taking none of it seriously.
Fuming with anger, Wang Yating felt like storming off right then and there.
However, she had been tasked with selecting a capable and extraordinary person to take on the position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad.
After all the commotion and with the Martial Artist’s Conference concluded, the real candidate had now been determined.
If Ye Ming truly refused the position, wouldn’t all her efforts have been in vain?
Not only would she have wasted a great deal of time and energy, but in the end, she wouldn’t even be able to report back successfully.
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thus, Wang Yating suddenly asked, "Why do you want to call off our engagement? You should at least give me a reason, right?"
"Is there something about me that you’re dissatisfied with?"
As she spoke, Wang Yating didn’t forget to straighten her back, showcasing her perfect figure.
Ye Ming scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Wang Yating’s figure was indeed perfect, without an ounce of excess fat, her delicate features complemented by a tall ponytail, giving her an extremely refreshing and sharp appearance that was truly eye-catching.
"I’m not dissatisfied; you’re perfect," Ye Ming replied.
Wang Yating asked in surprise, "Then why must you break off our engagement?"
Ye Ming didn’t know how to answer that question for a moment.
He definitely couldn’t say that he was refusing her because he had to marry another woman and bring her home.
But if he didn’t say that, Ye Ming couldn’t think of any other good explanation.
"I..."
Seeing his conflicted look, Wang Yating decided not to make it hard for him and said, "I’ll give you a choice. As long as you agree to become the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, I will agree to dissolve our engagement!"
This demand was something Wang Yating had come up with after deep thought. Out of the two matters, she had to hold onto at least one.
However, after she had made the request, she felt indignation brewing inside her, as though she were the one begging Ye Ming.
When had she ever pleaded with someone like this? And Ye Ming was still looking so troubled, which infuriated her even more.
"Can’t you even agree to this condition?" Wang Yating pressed him.
Ye Ming grimaced. Since she had put it this way, he couldn’t be too disrespectful and reluctantly agreed.
Wang Yating sighed and said, "Good, in that case, I will come to find you next month. As long as you follow me to Falcon Squad, I will have our engagement dissolved!"
After saying that, Wang Yating stuffed the marriage contract back into Ye Ming’s hands, her eyes revealing a hint of viciousness.
You bastard, once you are in the Martial Department, in the Falcon Squad, I will definitely regain the face I’ve lost today. I will also make you regret the words you’ve said today. I will make sure you beg and cry for my forgiveness!
Hiding her thoughts, Wang Yating turned and got into her car, driving away triumphantly.
Watching her receding figure and then looking at the marriage contract in his hand, Ye Ming shook his head helplessly.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
He had been preparing to propose to Xu Lele, which meant he definitely needed to break off any other engagements. But now, having met Lin Mengdie and Wang Yating and sharing his thoughts, he found that these two women didn’t seem so easy to deal with.
As things stood, only Xia Ningning had agreed to dissolve their engagement.
The thought of the several unseen fiancées that remained gave Ye Ming a huge headache.
"Forget it!"
Thinking it over, Ye Ming felt he couldn’t figure it out and decided not to think any further, promptly heading to the Xu Family.
He had been waiting for too long that day and didn’t want anything else to delay him.
Arriving at the Xu Family’s estate, Ye Ming discovered Xu Lele was already there waiting for him.
Upon seeing Ye Ming, Xu Lele ran over with a beaming smile and threw herself into his arms without any regard for others.
"You’re finally here; I’ve been waiting so long for you!" Xu Lele said joyfully, "Did you miss me?"
Behind her, Xia Ningning let out a resigned sigh and quickly urged, "Le Le, don’t be so impatient, can’t you be a little more reserved? Didn’t you just meet him yesterday?"
On the surface, Xia Ningning appeared nonchalant, but her eyes betrayed a touch of sourness that quickly vanished.
