Chapter 12 Sorry, He's Dead

That dog of a man has another woman in his heart, yet he still agreed to marry her. If that's not a scumbag, what is?

Just like that man who already had a fiancée but still dated another woman, they're all scumbag behavior.

They should be severely despised and condemned!

With her big, watery eyes, Li Rao looked pitifully at Song Yan and pleaded, "Song Song, you're the only one here with love experience. Please teach me, what should I do to get out of this marriage?"

Just as Yingying was their term of endearment for Lu Zhanying, Song Song was a nickname for Song Yan.

Lu Zhanying was puzzled, "What does your love experience have to do with getting out of an arranged marriage?"

"Are you dumb? Song Song knows what to do to make a man like her, so all I need to do is the opposite, right?"

"..."

Indeed, that was Li Rao, the logic genius.

It left them at a loss for words.

"As long as Wei Shiran finds me repulsive, he will take the initiative to call off the engagement."

If Wei Shiran called off the engagement, she would be free of it!

Song Yan said, "To my knowledge, the Wei Family just wants a true lady of noble birth. Wei Shiran's little girlfriend was disliked by Old Master Wei simply because her family background was slightly flawed. So, it's not hard to get out of this marriage. You just need to show that hidden side of yours openly, and that should do the trick."

"Impossible," Li Rao shook her head decisively.

Song Yan wasn't surprised.

She then gave another option, "To someone like Wei Shiran, the more you resist, the more excited he gets. I suggest you just go along with it, pretend to like him a lot, cling to him, keep expressing your love for him. Maybe he'll get fed up and call off the wedding himself the next day."

"That's not a bad idea," Lu Zhanying chimed in with rare approval.

The thought of Li Rao doggedly pursuing a man and madly displaying her affection excited her.

They all knew, Li Rao had a disdain for men.

Li Rao had a strange expression, as she imagined the scenario in her mind and couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

The mere thought was enough to disgust herself.

Suddenly, as if a thought struck her, Lu Zhanying asked Song Yan casually, "By the way, why haven't you mentioned your boyfriend lately?"

Upon hearing this, Li Rao glanced at Song Yan.

The fact that Song Yan and Gu Chenxiao broke up was only known to Li Rao; Lu Zhanying was still out of the loop.

Song Yan looked down, her voice cold as she responded, "Sorry, he died."

Both Lu Zhanying and Li Rao were taken aback.

They glanced behind her, their expressions turning quite odd.

Song Yan, looking down, didn't pay attention to their reactions, so she didn't see the change in their expressions.

She parted her lips and added nonchalantly, "So don't mention him in front of me again. I would be so happy I might just drink another two liang of Erguotou."

"..."

Li Rao frantically gestured with her eyes.

She signaled so clearly, thankfully Song Yan was not so foolish as to misunderstand her hints.

Song Yan turned around to find a man had appeared behind her at some point.

He was dressed in a white shirt, casually resting one hand in the pocket of his suit trousers, with a Vacheron Constantin on his wrist, understated yet luxurious.

Even the cufflinks on the shirt's cuffs shone brightly under the dim, ambiguous light.

The handsome man's face was cold and distant. At this moment, his dark, deep eyes seemed to harbor storms, giving off a chilling sense of oppression.
