Xiyin reluctantly smiled back, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't spit them out.
"I told Feili that you and I were about to get engaged. He said congratulations to us. He also said that you were the most beautiful oriental girl he had ever seen. It was my good luck to marry you."
Seeing Ningxi talking non-stop, Xiyin suddenly felt very guilty and sad, and didn't know how to continue.
If possible, she would rather run away and not have to face him. She felt that she was really, really sorry for him.
"What do you think I'm going to do when I go back to New York?" Ningxi suddenly took out a black velvet jewelry box tied with a ribbon from his pocket and put it on the table.
He pulled out the ribbon and opened the box. Two extremely delicate diamond rings lay in the box. The light of the diamonds was refracted by the afternoon sun, so bright that it almost stung Xiyin's eyes.
"I ordered this pair of rings in New York a few months ago. I originally planned to take them out at the engagement party, but I can't help it anymore. Yinyin, do you think they look good?"
Xiyin was almost forced to tears by his words, "Ningxi, I don't deserve you to be so kind to me." She choked and said.
"Silly girl, you are my girlfriend. If I can't be nice to you, who else should I be nice to?" Ningxi reached out to hold her hand on the table and said as gently as possible.
"You'll make me feel guilty if you treat me so well." Xiyin said.
"Stop talking nonsense, are you hungry? I'll order some snacks." Ning Xi half stood up and raised his hand to greet the waiter.
"Ningxi, let's cancel the engagement." Xiyin gritted her teeth and finally said it.
Fang Ningxi stiffened as if she had been struck by lightning. She raised one hand in the air and lowered it after a while.
He sat down slowly and stared at Xiyin for a long time before finally saying, "The man who kissed you in the hospital, was it because of him?" His voice was silent and weak.
He really saw it that day and saw Aqiang kissing her in the hospital.
He didn't dare to face it, so he fled abroad, and then kept talking here without giving her a chance to speak. Uncle Shen, would she say something that would make him sad
But in the end, she still said it out to break his heart.
Cheng Xiyin has never been like this: her heart feels like hot lamp oil has been spilled, and she is suffering from the torment of her conscience. She didn't dare to move and accepted the judgment of his gaze.
"His name is Aqiang, and he was once my adopted son." She said softly, fearing to irritate him again.
"Is that the man who disappeared for eight years and whom you called brother?" His face was ashen, as if all the passion had been suddenly taken away from him.
"I never thought of him as my brother, we grew up together and I always liked him."
"But he has disappeared for many years. No matter how much you like him, you should forget about him, right?" Fang Ningxi suddenly became angry.
"I used to think so myself, but last week, I got news about him from my eldest brother. I couldn't help but go see him, and then I found out that I still like him..."
"What about us? Is the relationship between us for four years not worth the relationship between your childhood sweethearts? We studied music together, joined the orchestra together, performed together, and shared so many beautiful moments together. Are these all fake? Is it true? Can you forget everything?" Ningxi said angrily.
Cheng Xiyin had never seen Fang Ningxi angry before. He had always been a good-tempered man, but now that he was so angry and out of control, she was even more frightened.
"I know it's unreasonable, and I know I'm sorry for you, Ningxi. But I can't control my feelings, and I can't split myself in half and give it to you. I can only choose one. If I can , I really don’t want to hurt you, I hope you can understand my feelings.”
"I don't understand!" Ning Xi stood up suddenly, eyes red, and yelled: "You only met that man again for a week. How can one week be worth the four years we spent together! I love you so much and care so much. You, we are going to get engaged in a few days, I have even prepared the engagement ring, but you dismissed me with a light apology, how can I understand?"
Cheng Xiyin lowered his head, speechless, and tears of guilt slowly dripped into the cup.
At this time, the waiter came over and reminded softly and politely: "I'm sorry, sir, please keep your voice down a little so as not to disturb other guests."
Fang Ningxi sat down slumped, stared at her tears, and was silent for a long time before she said, "No, Yinyin, I will not cancel the engagement. You are just infatuated with that man for a while, and the real relationship between us is Love. I will continue to prepare for our engagement party. Whether you come or not, I will always wait there until you change your mind!"
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the counter to pay the bill, and then left in despair, leaving Xiyin sitting there alone, enduring the torment of guilt and pain.
Shuqiang didn't know that Xiyin had made an appointment with Fang Ningxi, so he drove his jeep to the hospital.
I heard from Xiyin that grandpa had woken up and passed through the dangerous period safely.
When she said that, she hugged him, laughed and kissed him, as happy as a child, and Shuqiang couldn't help but laugh along with her.
Walking in the corridor in front of the ward, he happened to meet a lady, who turned out to be Xiyin's mother Lin Yueru.
