Xiao Zhan's POV

I got a call from Mr. Bin and my heart dropped, but I also gave him conditions. I didn't wait for school to end. I just drove home. However, I didn't know how long I stayed in my room until I heard Nana's voice talking to my mum. I listened to their conversation.

Mrs. Xiao, I don't mean to pry in but, Yibo asked me to speak with you, I don't know what happened between him and Zhan yesterday evening after he came to your house, only for him to walk back home crying and lost in thought, so I thought maybe they had a fight and he wanted me to speak with you.

Oh my God, he must have overheard us talking last night. We didn't see him, though. We had been meaning to speak with you actually, it's a good thing you came here. Mr. Xiao and Yibo walk in, and Yibo bowed to greet them.

In her story, Mrs. Xiao explained how her husband made a bad deal, which led to them going bankrupt.

There is no need for you to sign the contract. Nana said, "I will talk to Kuan about partnering with you."

As soon as I heard Nana make that statement, I left where I was standing and walked "That won't be necessary Nana, dad, you can sign the contract, Ziyi will pick a date for the engagement, and I will get married to her post-graduation." I said in one go without flinching, although my heart ached from the words I uttered.

What? Everyone asked, confused. It broke my heart to see Yibo cry, but this has to go on. That's why we must carry on regardless of how much we are going through.

As for you, Zhan, Yibo loves you, and I think that it's better to be with him than Ziyi. There's something about that family that I don't like about it. My mum said.

With an unfriendly face on my face, I said to her, "I cannot love Yibo the same way he loves me."

As he barely said my name, he could not help but cry more heavily.

I do not understand what you mean when you say that you can't love him like he loves you. My dad asked.

I see Yibo as my little brother and I cannot love him as a husband; I said with an unreadable expression on my face.

It's hard to believe you've been leading him on all this while. I gave you a warning six years ago not to promise him something you aren't capable of, didn't I? Nana said.

"I never thought he was serious about the prospect of marrying me," I said bitterly at that moment.

Zhan ge, what are you trying to say to me? As tears rolled down his cheeks, he whispered softly.

There is no love in my heart for you, Yibo. I only see you as a baby brother.

I thought you kissed me yesterday, but it came out as a whisper.

You begged for it, remember? You asked me if you could kiss me that one time...

But you looked at me lovingly. His eyes widen in surprise as he stares at me.

I realized you were suffering from a stomachache, and I took pity on you, but nothing more. Yibo, I don't have any feelings for you at all. I blurted.

There's no need to marry me as long as you don't sign the contract. You can partner with Kuan ge, Yibo said as he walked out of our house with Nana.

The hurt has shattered my heart. I'm so sorry fluffy, I wish there was something I could do. I am very sorry.

: Wang's Pov.

How Zhan ge broke my heart was something I could not imagine. I felt my heartbreak like crazy. Zhan ge doesn't love me, he doesn't have feelings for me, he only kissed me cause I asked for it, he pity me, I Couldn't control my tears, I should talk to zhan ge, I'm so confused, this minute he is sweet with me the next minute he is cold. It makes me want to walk in the garden; I feel like I'm being suffocated by it. I walked out of the house to go to the garden but I found myself in front of Zhan ge's house. I could hear laughter. Ziyi was with the boys. I turned back to leave when I saw Cheng ge and Zhan ge.

Yibo, what are you doing here? Zuocheng ge asked.

There are no words to describe what happened to me. I was walking to the garden and found myself here. I said pitifully. Would you mind if I had a moment to speak with you, Zhan ge?

We have nothing to talk about, Yibo.

Zhan ge please.

Good night Yibo, he said coldly.

Can I have your WeChat number? Cheng ge asked.

Yes, sure I said. I gave him my number and left.

Yibo, I'll pick you up every morning and drop you off after school every day he said loud enough for me to hear.

Both Zhan and Yibo are heartbroken, but Nana knew something was wrong with the sudden change in Zhan's attitude, but she didn't speak with Yibo about it. She called Kuan. It is important that you look into the Bin family and what their deal with the Xiao family is before your brother gets hurt. I want you to be discreet about it before your brother gets hurt. She repeated.

: it's been 4 months since Zhan stopped talking to Yibo, but Cheng picks him up every morning and drops him home after school. Yibo made new friends, Lan Yuan and Song Ji, and he hung out with them during lunch break. But his eyes are always on his Zhan ge. Zhan started flirting with different girls in school. Which got Ziyi upset and called her dad, but what she heard shocked her, so she let him be. It was 2 weeks before Ziyi's birthday when they announced she and Zhan would be engaged on her birthday. But Zhan was having problems with girls he flirted with. They'll accept to date and hang out with him only for them to ignore him. That kept going, but Zhan never gave up. He'd talk to different girls every day and have lunch with them.

Zuocheng received a text message from an unknown number stating, "Can you please take care of Yibo for me?" Thus, since then, he picks and drops Yibo off at home.

:::: Wang Yibo pov ❣️❣️❣️

Although I was angry when I heard they were getting engaged in two weeks, it is what it is, and there is nothing I can do about it. I dreaded this day, but finally, it is happening.

When Lan Yuan and Song Ji asked if they could stop the engagement, I told them it is not possible to stop the engagement. Zhan Ge no longer loves me, so I will talk to him later.

Would you mind telling me what you would like to ask him? Lan Yuan asked.

It's hard to say, I guess I'll find the questions when I see him again.

You shouldn't think too much about it Yibo, I can ask my brother if he could help you kidnap Ziyi Song Ji.

There is no need for that, Song. However, I would like to thank you guys for always being there for me.

When I went to Zhan ge's house and saw Mrs. Xiao, I bowed and greeted her, and she was very nice.

Is Zhan ge around I ask calmly, yes dear, he is in his room, I still stood there looking. It's okay you can go in, she grinned.

Okay Mrs. Xiao thanks, I walked to Zhan ge's room; I knocked and waited for him to answer.

Yes, come in he said. I slowly opened the door and walked in!

What are you doing here he said?

I'm here to talk. Can you please calm down?

Get out of my room he said, Zhan ge please. I just want to talk; I didn't know when I started shaking unconsciously.

He looked at me, and after a while said OKAY.

Zhan ge, why're you doing this to me? I asked.

Doing what? He asked.

I don't know you anymore. You started flirting with girls, you're getting married, your engagement is in 2 weeks, you skip classes sometimes!! What's happening with you?

Is that why you're here? Whatever I do is my business. Are you stalking me? "He yelled at me."

I'm not stalking you Zhan ge, everyone talks about it in school.

Get out of my room if that's why you're here "he yelled again."

I started having anxiety attacks, Zhan ge, do you not love me anymore?

I don't love you Yibo, now get out.

I started hyperventilating. I don't know how, but I felt my heart was going to pop out of my chest. And that was when I felt Zhan ge's soft lips on mine. He kissed me so passionately, and I felt safe in his arms.

And my breathing got normal. He asked if I was okay. I said yes.

I'll walk you home, he said.

When we got to my house, I asked him to come in, but he said no.

Yibo, I'm getting engaged. I think I'd be good if you stay away from me, please.

I was surprised, but you kissed me.

You're a medical student. You should know why I kissed you. Don't read any meaning to it, and he left.
