“You mean you’re still going to proceed with your engagement to him?”
Annie lowered her gaze, not daring to look into his eyes.
“Look at me! Answer me! Are you really going to proceed with your engagement to him? Why? Do you like him?” Ye Sijue gritted his teeth as he said the last sentence for he couldn’t accept that she could have another man in her heart.
No, that was impossible.
She was absolutely not a girl who did things half-heartedly.
He could tell from her eyes that he had a place in her heart.

There was no sign of infatuation when she mentioned Chris.
Annie frowned and twisted her hand, trying to break from his grasp.
“Can you release me first? You’re hurting me.”
Chris was knocking on the door outside and he called out worriedly, “Annie? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Annie replied quickly.
She turned around, wanting to open the door. However, Ye Sijue pressed a hand against the door and pulled her by the waist into his chest with his other hand.
“You’re not allowed to open the door!”
Annie looked at the time and said anxiously, “I really have to leave now. I’m sorry, Ye Sijue.”
Ye Sijue’s expression was cold as he said, “Don’t apologize to me. Did you talk to me so amicably earlier just to stab me in the heart? Must you really proceed with your engagement to him? Why? Give me a reason. Is it that you like him better than me or that you have some other reasons?”
He had never been a person to meddle with someone’s affairs but if it was Annie he would meddle as much as he could.
Before Annie could speak, the handle on the door turned.
Chris had obtained a key from somewhere and opened the door. Luckily, Annie was already in Ye Sijue’s embrace or she would have been hit by the door.
“Are you done with your conversation?” Chris looked at the two figures in front of him, taking in the sight of Ye Sijue holding Annie’s hand.
Annie looked at Ye Sijue and tried to leave his embrace, but he wasn’t willing to let her go.
Ye Sijue held her as he looked into Chris’ eyes and asked, “Rumor has it that you’re about to be engaged?”
“That’s right.” Chris laughed lightly. He seemed to think of something and said, “Since you’re a friend of Annie’s, let’s do this. Do you want to stay in our house? You’ll be able to attend our engagement too. How does that sound?”

Ye Sijue looked at the person in front of him. This was his first time being unable to see through someone.
Chris obviously knew that he had a special relationship with Annie, but his gaze didn’t hold any hostility towards him.
And he was even inviting him to go to their engagement at this time?
What was this person thinking?
Chris extended a hand towards Annie. Annie took a glance at Ye Sijue before leaving his embrace and walking to Chris’ side.
This time, Ye Sijue didn’t force her to stay.
Chris lifted his arm so that Annie could hold onto it.
He then smiled as he said to Ye Sijue, “I knew you were a friend worth making when I first laid my eyes on you. No wonder Boole introduced you to me. So, I want to invite you to stay at my house as a guest, and I hope you won’t reject my offer.”
Ye Sijue peeled his gaze away from Annie and looked at him. A smile formed on his lips as he said, “Sure.”
He really wanted to find out: was this person friend or foe?
Even though Chris was smiling at him with a friendly gaze in his eyes, Ye Sijue had a strange feeling that the person standing in front of him wasn’t really that amicable.
