"Jiang Feng, why are you here?" Jing Jie stared hard at Jiang Feng.
"Are you Situ Yan's cousin?" Jiang Feng suddenly rembered that the na shown on the phone earlier was Jing Jie, could it be the person right in front of him?
"Jing Jie, I should be asking you that. Why are you here?" Situ Yan walked out of the bedroom barefoot, asking indifferently.
Jing Jie saw Situ Yan's disheveled appearance and the blush on her face, easily inferring what the two had been doing at ho. Instantly, he was furious!
"Situ Yan, no wonder you didn't answer my calls, it's because you're with him? Didn't you promise you wouldn't see him again? Why did you bring him ho, are you intentionally trying to embarrass ? Making it impossible for to explain to grandpa?" Jing Jie fired off his questions.
Jiang Feng frowned. He won't let Situ Yan et him? Could it be that it was all his doing, making Situ Yan distance herself?
"Jing Jie, isn't the deadline next month? At least this month, I'm still free, you have no right to interfere!" Situ Yan retorted sharply.
"Next month? How many days left till next month? This month is almost over, don't deceive yourself!"
Jing Jie sneered, glanced at Jiang Feng, and said, "Are you having a final fling with him? It's laughable! A dignified mber of the Situ Family sleeping around without status, I feel embarrassed for you!"
Hearing this, Situ Yan got angry: "Jing Jie, don't speak so rudely. When did I have a fling? I'm openly with him at ho. I'm an adult; who I sleep with is my right, none of your business!"
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded by these words. Although he had done nothing with Situ Yan, once a woman said such things, he couldn't clear his na even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Shut up! Situ Yan, are you just throwing in the towel now? I know what you're up to. You want He Jinrong to consider you as used goods and not want you, to rid yourself of this engagent?"
Jing Jie scoffed: "If that's the case, you're overthinking. This matter is set in stone; it won't change because of any factor!"
"Engagent?" Jiang Feng frowned, looking at Situ Yan in confusion, "What's going on?"
Situ Yan bitterly chuckled, she had held back for so long not wanting to say anything, but Jing Jie spilled it all!
"Don't you realize? She's already considered part of the He Family, and you, having an engagent yourself, should have stayed away from her, not harming her or yourself!"
If Jiang Feng had left a decent impression on Jing Jie last ti, despite his humble status as a live-in husband, showing loyalty and risking his life for friends in the vast ocean—it all dropped to the bottom today!
"Jing Jie, stop exaggerating, who belongs to the He Family? Which eye of yours saw enter the He Family's door?" Situ Yan, though knowing this was a foregone conclusion, still argued against Jing Jie, perhaps, deep down, still wanted to win a last bit of dignity for herself.
"It's just a matter of ti; the engagent is set for next month, a fiancée is still a fiancée!" Jing Jie said coldly.
Jiang Feng understood now, no wonder Situ Yan had been acting so differently recently, she had an engagent waiting for her next month!
And it seed she didn't like this engagent, but couldn't resist it, making her a little self-destructive and unmotivated at work.
"You're getting married?" Jiang Feng couldn't describe what he felt, but if next month Situ Yan beca soone else's fiancée, he'd feel sothing missing in his heart.
"So you really didn't know? Then let formally tell you now, yes! She'll officially be taken next month, though not marrying yet, it's a win-win engagent! I'll pity her one last ti, pretending nothing happened today, you shouldn't co looking for her again!" Jing Jie firmly told Jiang Feng.
Though speaking of "pity," he was actually considering the bigger picture, he didn't want this disgraceful matter reached the He Family's ears!
If the He Family truly rejected Situ Yan, the entire Situ Family would suffer a great loss.
"Do you like him?" Jiang Feng ignored Jing Jie, calmly asking Situ Yan.
"He's called He Jinrong, from the Provincial City's He Family, I don't like him, but he has feelings for , I..." Situ Yan gave Jiang Feng a deep look, leaving the rest unsaid.
"Jiang Feng, I've told you, from now on, she has nothing to do with you, you can leave!" Jing Jie, angered by Jiang Feng's disregard, said coldly.
Yet Jiang Feng still ignored him, continuing to look at Situ Yan, "Since you don't like him, why did you agree?"
Situ Yan lowered her head, unable to express it, feeling bitter.
"Why she agreed, don't you understand? She offered herself as a pawn through to the Old Man, agreeing to the engagent if we deployed warships to find you. Now we've done it, she naturally can't back out!" Jing Jie squinted, explaining.
Jiang Feng paused, then understood.
No wonder, with Situ Yan's ability to mobilize military exercises' warships to rescue him and Chu Feifei, Jiang Feng had thought Situ Yan used her privileged status to leverage family influence, but it turned out, it was far from that.
"So it was all for ." Jiang Feng laughed, remaining calm, though his gaze grew complex.
"No! It wasn't all for you, also for..." Situ Yan rushed to clarify, trying to ease Jiang Feng's guilt, but couldn't think of another reason, leaving her speechless.
Jiang Feng sighed, asked Situ Yan, "I only ask you, do you want to marry that He Jinrong?"
Situ Yan was taken aback by the question, staring blankly at Jiang Feng.
At that mont, she contemplated the consequences of saying she did or didn't want to, naturally feeling strongly against it, yet feared Jiang Feng might act rashly if she said so.
"Jiang Feng, are you challenging my patience limit? What difference does it make if she wants or doesn't want? Can you influence her? This matter is already unchangeable, it's beyond her control, I warn you not to push to anger!" Jing Jie threatened!
"Answer , do you want or not?" Jiang Feng stared quietly into Situ Yan's eyes, waiting for her response.
"You!!!!" Jing Jie was about to explode with rage, his chest filled with anger!
"What do you think?" Situ Yan, her eyes reddening, smilingly asked in return.
"If you want to, I won't intervene, but your eyes tell you don't want to! If that's the case, you shouldn't suffer over this. No one in the world can force you to do what you don't want, not even the King of Heaven, that's what I, Jiang Feng, say!" Jiang Feng's words resonated, bursting with confident bravado!
And when Situ Yan heard Jiang Feng's words and saw the defiant expression on his face, she imdiately burst into tears, biting her lips, her eyes brimming with tears!
