Ye Huanyan never expected Leh Ruoxin would humiliate her in public. Shock aside, shame overwhelmed her.
Amidst the scrutinizing stares of the crowd, she felt as though she was stripped bare and thrown into the street, subjected to their merciless gaze.
The feeling was unbearable. Clenching her fists tightly, she was about to run away when Lie Xunjue grabbed her hand firmly.
She looked up at him in anger and shame, only to meet his deep and resolute eyes.
The crowd noticed their tightly clasped hands. Being seasoned professionals, they immediately grasped the underlying implication and withdrew their interrogative gazes.
They sat down properly.
Leh Ruoxin, too, noticed the locked hands, a flicker of discomfort flashing across her serene expression.
Still maintaining her smile, she spoke, "Xunjue, are you here for the meeting?"
"Leh Ruoxin, I'm breaking off our engagement. From now on, there's nothing between us!"
