Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Chu Lian

Xu Ke was smiling as he sent messages to Lin Mengyao, but was suddenly overshadowed by two figures. Xu Ke’s eyes flickered with a dark glimmer. When he looked up and recognized them, his eyes were full of surprise, followed by deep nostalgia and emotion. "I really didn’t expect the first people I’d encounter after returning to Shangjing would be you two. Please, have a seat. What would you like to drink? It’s on me." The joy in Xu Ke’s voice was so clear that anyone who wasn’t deaf could hear it plainly.

Yang Rongrong looked worriedly at Chu Lian.

Chu Lian pulled Yang Rongrong to sit opposite Xu Ke, her delicate face full of frost. "There’s no need for drinks. I just came in to clarify something with you."

Xu Ke’s smile clearly grew stiff for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "I don’t know what you want to say to me?"

"I know our two families once jokingly arranged an engagement for us when we were young, but you know it’s not the Republic era anymore. The practice of parental arranged marriages is long outdated, so I advise you to forget about the past. I will not marry you. I already have someone I love, and we are currently dating. Unless something unexpected happens, we will get married, so I don’t want you to bother me."

Chu Lian spoke coldly, ignoring Yang Rongrong shaking her hand under the table.

"Lian’s words may have been a bit harsh, but she means no harm. She just hopes you won’t separate the lovebirds and ruin others’ happiness for personal gain." Yang Rongrong said helplessly, casting a glance at Chu Lian before speaking to Xu Ke.

"Who is the person you like?" Xu Ke chuckled lightly and looked at Chu Lian as he asked.
