Cai Wenxi spoke up softly, "I'm not his fiancée. You may call me Wenxi."
Zhang Ming's face contorted with frustration, a surge of disrespect coursing through him. He turned towards Cai Wenxi with a stern tone, "Shut up! Our marriage is already set in stone. Or do you want me to report your behavior to Uncle Cai?"
