Liu Mengyue originally wanted to mock the narcissistic words of the young man in front of her.

But the last three words from the other party, "Little Short Person," exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.

Although she is not particularly tall, at 1.65 meters, she is definitely not considered short.

At this moment, Liu Mengyue felt that her personality had been severely insulted.

"You, you..." Her face flushed red, and she wanted to yell back.

However, years of self-cultivation prevented her from uttering any harsh words.

Finally, she put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Zhou Shijin.

"You insult me, you're at a disadvantage, you're just a little turtle!"

Zhou Shijin mimicked Liu Mengyue's mannerisms, putting his hands on his hips and mumbling indistinctly the words she had just spoken.

"You insult me, you're at a disadvantage, you're just a little turtle, boohoo, you can't even swear properly, you shorty!"

Liu Mengyue had never seen such a scoundrel before. She gritted her teeth and said, "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Shijin interrupted her, "Short person, short person!"

"Ugh~~~ I'm so angry!" Liu Mengyue stomped her foot and looked down to open her crossbody bag.

Then, he took out something and threw it at Zhou Shijin.

"You pretty boy, go to hell!"

Zhou Shijin was startled by the other party's sudden action, and he instinctively reached out to take it.

When he saw the lollipop in his hand, he was so angry he laughed.

"Oh my god, you little brat, you're pretty arrogant. If you keep showing off, I'll throw your bottle at you."

Liu Mengyue finally understood that this pretty boy was not only a scoundrel, but his mouth was also like it was coated with poison.

This pampered young lady was completely unable to handle it.

"Zhou Shi'an, he bullied me!"

At this moment, she looked at Zhou Shi'an with pitiful eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.

Perhaps she was too angry, her long eyelashes trembled incessantly.

Zhou Shi'an's biggest fear is girls crying, not because he's overly sensitive, but because he finds it troublesome.

His expression immediately turned serious: "Zhou Shijin!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shijin immediately dropped his playful and smiling demeanor.

He hunched over and scurried over to Zhou Shi'an's side.

"Brother, I'm right here. Just let me know if you need anything."

Seeing his obedient child-like appearance, Zhou Shi'an swallowed back the words he was about to say about asking the other party to apologize.

He shook his head helplessly and gave Liu Mengyue an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, my brother's personality is rather..."

He paused for a moment, as if he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"Mao Leng San Guang!" Zhou Shi Jin added in a low voice.

Zhou Shi'an rolled his eyes at him before continuing, "I apologize on his behalf. I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Hmph!" Liu Mengyue snorted coldly, her expression softening considerably.

"By the way, Miss Liu, is there anything important that brings you here so suddenly?"

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'an's question, Liu Mengyue immediately pouted.

"You have the nerve to ask? Zhou Shi'an, why didn't you come to the engagement banquet yesterday?"

As she spoke, she angrily sat down opposite Zhou Shi'an.

"Uh..." Zhou Shi'an was speechless for a moment.

I thought she was there to break off the engagement, but judging from her attitude, it seemed like she was there to interrogate me.

At that moment, Zhou Shijin's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! Could I have misplaced my loyalty and done something wrong with good intentions?

Liu Mengyue didn't get the answer she wanted, and her anger grew even stronger.

"Zhou Shi'an, answer me, why didn't you come yesterday? Don't you like me?"

Zhou Shi'an looked somewhat uncomfortable being stared at so intently by a young girl.

"Miss Liu, I am very sorry about yesterday's incident. I was delayed by some family matters."

It was my mistake not to notify you in time, and I apologize on behalf of the Zhou family.

Liu Mengyue crossed her arms and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph, I forgive you!"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed drastically.

Did he just call that person "brother"?

So, is that pretty boy the real young master of the Zhou family?

What happened yesterday must have been a huge injustice for Zhou Shi'an, and he must be feeling very upset.

I deserve to die for questioning him today without even knowing the facts!

Upon realizing this, Liu Mengyue's expression immediately became flustered.

"Um, Zhou Shi'an, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get angry at you."

"I only came because you didn't come yesterday, and I thought you wanted to call off the engagement, so I came to your door."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shi'an looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Miss Liu, I've already guessed what Uncle Liu means, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Mengyue hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant."

This marriage was arranged by your grandmother and my grandmother. That old geezer is wicked, and I won't listen to him.

I'm here today to tell you that no matter what others say, I will not call off the engagement.

Zhou Shi'an, I will marry no one but you in this lifetime!

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they had just heard.

Zhou Shi'an has lived two lives, and he has never even had a girlfriend.

Now, a girl confessed her love to him in front of her whole family, and even said that she would marry no one but him.

In an instant, the roots of his ears turned bright red.

However, he was an extremely rational person and did not become complacent because of the other party's confession.

Moreover, he and Liu Mengyue were not familiar with each other; they had only met a few times.

Where does this so-called love come from?

Gathering the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Zhou Shi'an's expression became extremely solemn:

"Miss Liu, you must understand that marriage is not just a matter between two people, but a union of two families."

Especially given our backgrounds, we are destined to bear our own responsibilities.

Even in ordinary marriages, the marriage is unlikely to last without the blessings of parents.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Liu Mengyue's eyes immediately reddened: "You, you're talking nonsense, you just don't like me!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became very strange.

Wen Shuran wanted to say something, but as an elder, she didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

Zhou Xubai, the father, actually looked like he was watching a good show, as if he was looking forward to what would happen next.

Butler Li stared blankly at the scene before him, shaking his head in disbelief.

Young Master Shi An is too cruel. Although Miss Liu is not as dignified and virtuous as other young ladies.

However, she has a lively and lovely personality, and is passionate and outspoken, making her a perfect match for her young master.

Unfortunately, the young master doesn't understand... Wait, something's not right!

Suddenly, Butler Li remembered what happened last night and his eyes widened.

He glanced unconsciously between Zhou Shi'an's legs and couldn't help but sigh deeply again: "Sigh..."

The sound was so loud that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
