Love You Till the End-Chapter 918 - 917: Will the Engagement Be Canceled?

For some reason, even though it’s the scorching summer, Su Jiuyi feels a chill straight to her heart, as if she has stepped into an ice cellar, an extraordinary cold.

"Since she’s Young Master Jue’s fiancée, why is she always with Mr. Qin?" a girl asked complainingly, "Mr. Qin doesn’t pay attention to me anymore!"

"That’s her skill, perhaps she’s deliberately hiding her engagement with Young Master Jue, trying to win over Mr. Qin."

Su Jiuyi hurriedly turned off the tap, jogging back to the ballroom, bumping into a few waiters holding trays along the way.

She searched around for a while and saw Qi Jingren sitting by the fountain outside the ballroom, playing with a piece of pastry to tease a poodle.

Qin Shaobai was lazily leaning against a nearby tree, hands in his pants pockets, smiling at her.

Su Jiuyi was too focused on finding someone, not noticing that Shi Aoju was right behind her, observing her.

"What’s wrong?" Shi Aoju asked when he saw she hadn’t reacted for a while.

Su Jiuyi was startled by his sudden voice, took a few wobbly steps back, her feet were already sore, and with the misstep her high heel unexpectedly slipped, inertia causing her to lean backward uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Shi Aoju caught her waist in time and pulled her back into his embrace, her body tightly pressed against his chest, she could vaguely feel his strong and powerful heartbeat coming from his left side.

Su Jiuyi blushed, lowered her head, not saying anything, but his voice came to her ears: "When will you stop being so reckless."

Though his words were reproachful, his tone was very gentle.

"I’ll be careful next time," Su Jiuyi pushed him away, the blush on her cheeks not fading away at all.

"You haven’t told me what happened just now?" He was referring to her dazed appearance earlier.

Remembering she still had something important to ask, Su Jiuyi quickly organized her thoughts, deciding to ask tentatively: "I overheard some... gossip in the restroom just now."

Though she wasn’t sure if it was true, it still counted as gossip.

Su Jiuyi sneaked a glance at Shi Aoju, seeing no change in his expression, she continued, "It’s about you and Qi Jingren."

Shi Aoju’s expression still showed no change.

Su Jiuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, so it was false after all. Although she hadn’t thought deeply about why she felt so affected. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After a few seconds of silence, Shi Aoju said calmly, "She’s my fiancée." That serene tone, as if he was merely saying today’s weather was nice.

That sentence made Su Jiuyi’s heart, which had just settled, rise again.

"But there’s no emotion between us," he said, "like Song Zhike and your sister, it’s just an agreement between both parents made privately."

"Her job at Ciaos was found by herself, even if we meet, there isn’t much to say, we’ve never even mentioned this matter."

After hearing him finish, Su Jiuyi realized it was the first time Shi Aoju had spoken so much to her.

"Then you...," she asked tentatively, "will you end the engagement?"

Shi Aoju’s gaze fell on the distant Qi Jingren, looking peaceful: "I think you can see, Shaobai likes her very much."

It certainly seems that way.
