Chapter 279: Then Cancel the Engagement
Wen Zhuo winced and covered his cheek, looking at Huo Shiyuan and said, "You can’t blame me for this. When I was eighteen or nineteen, living with you, there were photos of Little Xi’s sister all over your house. You always talked about Little Xi’s sister. I was already deeply impressed by her. Until a few days ago, she came to A City with her grandfather for medical treatment. We had a chance encounter, and I was instantly invested in my feelings for her."
Huo Shiyuan frowned tightly, holding back the urge to punch Wen Zhuo in the face again, watching him take the ice pack handed over by the aunt.
Wen Zhuo placed the ice pack on his face that had been hit by Huo Shiyuan, continuing to explain: "I met Li Ping around May or June, and indeed, I was attracted by her face, which actually looked more like Yuan Xi from her high school photos at the time.
But after spending time with Li Ping, I realized that my liking for Little Xi’s sister is probably just an adolescent yearning to have the person you like.
In the months I’ve been with Li Ping, I’ve never treated her as Little Xi’s sister; I’ve only ever seen her as Li Ping."
Fu Qin scoffed, "Wen Zhuo, your reason for liking someone is truly absurd."
Wen Zhuo said helplessly, "You probably haven’t been to Huo Shiyuan’s estate in the United States, the house that is full of photos of Little Xi’s sister."
Wen Zhuo looked at Fu Qin and said, "Actually, I was planning to tell you in a few days, I want to cancel our engagement. I can’t possibly let Li Ping, with a face that closely resembles Yuan Xi, be my mistress outside."
Fu Qin felt relieved, "OK, then let’s cancel the engagement."
Wen Zhuo looked at Huo Shiyuan, "I’m sorry, I did have inappropriate thoughts before, but I can assure you now, I have no intentions or thoughts about your wife, I am now in love with Li Ping. I know where this photo came from, it was taken by Fu Qin’s little boyfriend, right? I met him when Li Ping and I were skiing, I had no intention of keeping it a secret."
