In her reincarnations, when she hadn't woken up and remembered who she was, she used to fall in love helplessly to Li Junzhe. Like a fool!
When Jiang Tianyu mentioned breaking her engagement with Li Junzhe, her reaction was big, arguing and yelling toward him. She even splashed him with a glass of water before running to her room to sulk.
However, now she was much calmer, not really caring whether her engagement would be broken or not. Anyway, not long after Jiang Tianyu left in anger, the plot often made Li Junzhe call her to discuss the topic of the engagement.
Through his words and gentleman-like personality, he hinted about his desire to break the engagement. Of course, she didn't catch on. She was too happy that Li Junzhe had taken the initiative to invite her to a meal.
At this time, the relationship between Jiang Meiling and Li Junzhe wasn't that deep yet. In every reincarnation, both main leads knew about the incoming apocalypse because they were reborn. Jiang Meiling had a harder time because of her difficult position in the Jiang family and most likely she was working hard to stock supplies.
"Junzhe, does something matter?" She glanced at him calmly.
He raised his eyebrow, and Jiang Yuxue silently mocked herself in her heart. He was probably surprised that she didn't act like that bratty girl, clinging to him shamelessly, right?
"Why? I can't ask my fiancee out for a meal?" His tone was flat, holding no enthusiasm.
Jiang Yuxue scrutinized him deeply. They ordered the food and ate in silence. When she took a bite of the rich taste in her tongue again, her eyes lit up.
The food in the human realm always astonished her, but it was really a pity that after she turned into a zombie, her tastebud couldn't appreciate those foods. They turned into something worse than dirt.
"There must be something you want to talk about." She muttered, taking a quick sneak at his face that could enchant even the immortals. His devilish allure when he smiled, chiseled jaw, and sharp, penetrating eyes. The aloofness in his bones.
"Tianyu called last night." He stared at her, who was busy stuffing herself with food. "He mentioned canceling the engagement."
He stopped there and didn't explain further. According to the novel, she would hurriedly deny it and convince him she wanted no such thing. However, his intention was always the same. He wanted to cancel the engagement.
It was better that he wouldn't have a burden like her in the apocalypse, right?
"Oh." She nodded. "I will mention it to Dad and Mom later."
He narrowed his eyes. "Mention what?"
She silently clicked her tongue. He was a person who wouldn't allow anything to go wrong, didn't he? He wasn't even willing to accept an ambiguous answer.
"Cancelling the engagement." She bluntly said without even looking at him. Another spoonful of food entered her mouth, and she closed her eyes in enjoyment.
Sensing that Li Junzhe hadn't responded for a while, she lifted her gaze, finding his penetrating eyes scrutinizing her deeply. Was he afraid that she wasn't serious about this and merely joking? What a fussy man who couldn't even allow her to eat in peace.
"I can even call Dad right now." She muttered. "I promise I won't throw a tantrum later and change my mind even after I return home."
If it were in her early reincarnations, such words would have been shameful for her to say, admitting that she was a spoiled brat! However, her heart had grown calmer, and she didn't care anymore. Silently waiting for another cycle of reincarnation to pass.
She held up her phone and shook it slightly in front of him. Just as she was about to call her father, she heard him say, "when did I say I wanted to cancel the engagement?"
Her finger froze less than a centimeter away from her phone screen. It took her a few seconds to process his words, and she couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "You don't want to cancel it?"
In her mind, Jiang Yuxue silently wondered. Another new variation in this round of reincarnation, huh? Some reincarnations went according to a similar plot. The engagement wasn't cancelled, she obstructed Li Junzhe and Jiang Meiling's relationship, Lin Haoxuan shoved her to a horde of zombies, she became the zombie king, and then she died.
"Yes, I don't want to cancel it." He elegantly took a sip of his tea. Raising his eyebrows, he shot his gaze toward her sharply. "Why? You want to cancel it?"
She contemplated it. It was really the first time it happened because Li Junzhe actually took the initiative to maintain their engagement. In other plots, they sometimes broke up, but he was pressured by his elders later. There will be a plot where a dying parent gave him their last will to keep the engagement with her.
Actually, since she even lost counts of how many times she had reincarnated, there will always be some unique variations. Sometimes, she didn't remember her past life as the immortal fox spirit or her identity as Jiang Yuxue. So, in her next life, she believed she was a zombie king who had transmigrated into Jiang Yuxue's body.
"Then just keep it," she said in a nonchalant tone. It didn't matter anyway, the ending has already been determined. She wouldn't lie that it did arouse her curiosity, but only a little.
He might change his mind after he met Jiang Meiling. Who knows?
Oh, she almost forgot that Jiang Meiling most likely worked in this restaurant. They might meet here after she returns home later. Wanting to do them a favor, she intended to go back sooner.
Her heart was suddenly filled with the thought of her parents. It didn't matter, even if her efforts would be useless. She still wanted to provide the best for them. She thoughtfully looked at the rings on her finger.
It was originally two rings, but whoever made it was so creative to merge the thin rings into one. She remembered it now. It wasn't merely a decoration, but an artifact. Most likely she had acquired it in the immortal realm, although she didn't remember when and who had given it.
The rings have space inside.
"Miss, Sir, are you two finished and would like the check?" A voice pulled Jiang Yuxue out of her thoughts.
Her pupils dilated when she saw that it was Jiang Meiling. She clicked her tongue. Was she about to witness one of the legendary encounters between the main leads?
