Chapter 917 Agree to Cancel Engagement
"Xiaomi, I haven't fed my warhorse yet. I'll go feed it and then call Aunt Xu to come and tidy up. Don't bother tidying up, get some rest. We still have things to do tomorrow." Jiang Dalang said, suppressing his emotions, and walked away.
pity……
Qin Xiaomi grabbed his wrist; her hand was small but strong, stopping Jiang Dalang in his tracks.
"Xiao Mi?" Jiang Dalang had no choice but to turn around and look at her, his eyes filled with doubt, but his heart beat slightly faster because of her touch.
Qin Xiaomi smiled upon seeing this, but didn't say anything, just stared at him intently.
At this moment, Jiang Dalang and Sheng Ting both thought that Su Su had discovered his identity.
"Xiao Mi, what's wrong?" In order to avoid overthinking and giving himself away, Jiang Dalang had no choice but to speak up and break the silence.
Qin Xiaomi was still smiling and silent, but Jiang Dalang had already regained his composure... Compared to his previous life, Jiang Dalang's current emotional fluctuations were out of control.
But such an emotional breakdown is only a normal reaction for a teenage fiancé who is about to be told by his fiancée that the engagement is being called off.
All I can say is that the emperor was indeed a dog.
"Xiao Mi?" Jiang Dalang called her again nervously, leaning slightly towards her, looking worried about her but also afraid of getting too close and upsetting her.
"Big Brother, let's go talk to Grandpa and Grandma about breaking off the engagement as soon as possible." Qin Xiaomi finally spoke, and as expected, she was talking about breaking off the engagement: "You said that protecting the borders and the people is more important than getting married and having children, and you're not obsessed with getting married and having children, so why not break off the engagement and let each other be more relaxed and free?"
See, I brought up the matter of annulling the engagement again. Isn't that annoying? How can a normal grown man tolerate my aggressive manner? He'll quickly grow tired of me and angrily break off the engagement.
Qin Xiaomi thought this way, but her guess remained that Jiang Dalang would definitely disagree this time.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Dalang stood firm and nodded, "Alright, since Xiaomi is unwilling, breaking off the engagement is indeed the best course of action."
Bang!
Ouch!
Various noises emanated from the small door leading to the inner quarters.
The Qin family members who were eavesdropping behind the door were all shocked.
Grandpa Qin was so angry that he was panting heavily and almost couldn't breathe.
"Old man, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's just the beginning, the engagement hasn't been officially dissolved yet." Grandma Qin comforted him softly, but she herself was so angry that she almost burst into tears.
If this marriage hadn't happened, how could Xiao Mi have found a good man like Da Lang who would tolerate her in every way?
Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting didn't want the Qin family to cause trouble, so he quickly added, "But we'll formally dissolve the engagement once you turn eighteen or find a good husband."
"The reason is that you've given me too much of a share of the profits, and I don't want to owe you too much. I want to protect you as your fiancé for a few years, and then we can break off the engagement once you're fully capable. How about that?"
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
"Words are no proof. Come on, let's draw up a written agreement." After Qin Xiaomi came to her senses, she took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the front of the shop and wrote down that Jiang Dalang agreed to dissolve the engagement when she turned eighteen.
"Brother Dalang, come and sign this, and then put your fingerprint on it."
Jiang Dalang saw her smiling face, her eyes sparkling with expectation as she looked at him, and she was waving the document in her hand, gesturing for him to sign it quickly.
Seriously, he almost laughed out of anger.
My heart aches terribly.
Even though she is a new student, Su Su still can't fall in love with anyone. How deeply did he hurt her in her previous life?
But in his past life, he clearly loved her, only her. He was pure and didn't touch anyone else but her.
It was all just to consolidate his throne; he appointed concubines and created a fake son.
Narrow-minded! Did Qin Su break off their friendship because of this?
It was because the Qin family was wiped out, because he hadn't been honest with her, because...
Forget it, that dog emperor is from the past, his thinking is completely different from hers, and it's all history anyway, no need to dwell on it anymore, unless...
The true enemy who killed the Qin family has reappeared. They can join forces to kill the enemy and take revenge, otherwise it will never be possible!
"Tsk, what are you staring at? Hurry up and sign it." Qin Xiaomi urged impatiently, a little worried that the boy would change his mind, and also afraid that Grandpa and Grandma Qin would come out to stop him.
"I was lost in thought when I remembered how many times we've signed agreements," Jiang Dalang chuckled, then added, "Xiao Mi is still the same as when she was a child, always wanting me to swear oaths and make guarantees, even though I'm older and I should be the one to make the decisions."
She complained familiarly about how she bullied older children when she was a child.
Qin Xiaomi searched her memories... Hmm, before the original owner of this body did something 'bad', she was afraid that Jiang Dalang would tell the adults, so she would always make him swear an oath first.
Indeed, it's similar to how she always had Jiang Dalang write down her names.
"The most capable person should be the leader. Stop talking nonsense and sign it quickly." Qin Xiaomi shoved the document into his hand.
Jiang Dalang didn't dawdle any longer. He picked up his pen, signed, pressed his fingerprint, and returned the document to Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, keep it safe."
"Ha, thank you." Qin Xiaomi was very happy and laughed out loud.
Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting: "..."
If it makes Su Su happy, then it's all worth it.
"Take the agreement back and hide it well, lest Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin steal it." He said indulgently.
"Don't worry, as long as you agree, even if Grandpa and Grandma feel it's a pity, they won't force us to get married." Qin Xiaomi put the agreement away and placed it in the inner pocket of her belt, then continued tidying up the front bunk.
You still have the mood to tidy up the front bunk?
The reason I asked you and Dalang to tidy up the front shop was to create an opportunity for you to be alone, not for you to use it to say you want to break off the engagement!
Grandpa and Grandma Qin were furious. They stopped peeking and opened the door to come out.
Seeing their somewhat aggressive demeanor, Qin Xiaomi asked with a smile, "Grandpa and Grandma, what's wrong?"
Looking at their granddaughter's smiling face and those unyielding eyes, the two elders swallowed their questions.
Xiaomi has always had her own ideas since she was a child, and she is only truly happy when she does what she wants to do.
Although they are her elders and are doing things for her own good, but...
"Sigh," Grandpa Qin sighed, "The water's boiled. Xiaomi, go wash up and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow to prepare for the opening."
"Yes, Grandpa and Grandma should also get some rest. You two will be busy all day tomorrow." After saying this, Qin Xiaomi walked towards the back house.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin sighed as they watched her walk away without looking back.
After she left, Grandma Qin came over to comfort Jiang Dalang: "Dalang, I'm sorry you had to go through that... Xiao Mi is still young, she was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."
Apart from Dalang, there was truly no one else who would be so tolerant of her granddaughter, so Grandma Qin would never agree to break off the engagement.
Jiang Dalang laughed: "Grandma, I'm serious about Xiaomi, which is why I respected her wishes and made her write an agreement to annul the engagement when she turns eighteen. But I won't give up on Xiaomi."
She is Su Su, his first wife. He has lived his whole life for her, how could he possibly give her up?
Even if the engagement is dissolved, even if they are truly destined to be apart, he will stay with her for the rest of his life.
"Good, good, good, I'm relieved to hear you say that." Grandma Qin cried tears of joy. She knew that Dalang was a good boy and the perfect match for her granddaughter!
Grandpa Qin sat down without saying a word. After a while, he looked at Jiang Dalang and said, "Dalang, Grandpa thanks you for taking Xiaomi seriously, but don't wrong yourself... You and Xiaomi are both good children. If you meet someone good in the future, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will support you and won't let you suffer again."
