After breaking off the engagement, my aloof fiancée regretted it

Ye Tianming looked at the woman in front of him who was worried about him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

His voice softened: "I know, don't worry."

Yun Manyao nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She took out an exquisite jade pendant from the storage jade ring and stuffed it into Ye Tianming's hand: "Take this. If you encounter danger, crush it. I will come as soon as possible!"

Ye Tianming looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He wanted to refuse, but looking at Yun Manyao's eyes that were full of worry and expectation, he finally said nothing and just put the jade pendant away silently.

"It's getting late. I should leave too." Yun Manyao said with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Ye Tianming nodded, "Take care of yourself."

He had mixed feelings in his heart. Faced with this sudden affection, he really didn't know how to respond.

Yun Manyao looked at Ye Tianming deeply, then turned and left.

Ye Tianming looked at Yun Manyao's back as she left, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

It would be a lie to say that I was not touched at all, but I can’t say I loved it either.

He has never been a person who drags his feet, not to mention that he already has Ji Qingwan.

"What are you looking at? Have you felt like your soul has been taken away?" Ji Qingwan came to his side without him noticing, her tone sour.

Ye Tianming withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ji Qingwan, only to see her with her arms folded across her chest, her delicate face full of displeasure.

How could he not understand what this little girl was thinking? He couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Ye Tianming raised his eyebrows and teased her intentionally.

"Who... who is jealous!" Ji Qingwan's cheeks turned red, and she retorted with her neck stiff, "I just can't stand some people being so sentimental!"

"Oh? Really?" Ye Tianming smiled noncommittally and stretched out his hand to pinch her puffy cheeks. "Don't worry, I'm interested in gentle little white flowers like you."

"You're the naive one! Your whole family is naive!" Ji Qingwan slapped his hand away and gave him a cold look.

"Okay, okay, I'm not. You're not okay, right?" Ye Tianming smiled and shook his head. This girl is quite cute when she is jealous.

"Hmph!" Ji Qingwan snorted, turned her head away and ignored him.

Ye Tianming didn't care and turned to look into the distance.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the horizon, dyeing the clouds a brilliant orange-red.

"Let's go back." Ye Tianming called out and walked down the mountain first.

Ji Qingwan followed behind him, and the two of them remained silent all the way.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the mountain path, making the figures of Ye Tianming and Ji Qingwan look particularly slender.

The two of them walked in silence, but the atmosphere was not awkward. Instead, it was filled with a faint ambiguity.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ye! It's a great opportunity to obtain the Kunpeng inheritance!"

Just at this moment, a group of people came over in a mighty manner, led by Ji Gang, the head of the Ji family.

His face was flushed and he was smiling, and behind him were a group of elders and disciples of the Ji family, who had obviously come specially to congratulate him.

Ye Tianming stopped and looked at the group of people in front of him, smiling slightly: "Master Ji, you are too polite, it's just luck."

"Mr. Ye, you are joking. This is not something that can be achieved by luck."

Ji Gang waved his hands, his eyes full of awe. He had lived for most of his life, what kind of people had he not seen?

But this was the first time he had seen someone as young as Ye Tianming who possessed such terrifying strength.

He paused, and his tone became somewhat tentative: "Mr. Ye, now that you have obtained the Kunpeng inheritance, your strength must have reached a higher level, right? From now on, my Ji family will have to rely on you to take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianming turned his head and looked at Ji Qingwan, only to see that her pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness.

He understood in his heart and smiled faintly: "Master Ji, you are joking. Qingwan is my friend, and her family is naturally my family. I, Ye Tianming, have no choice but to accept it."

"Good! Good! Good!" Ji Gang was overjoyed when he heard this. He said "good" three times in a row and looked at Ye Tianming more eagerly.

"Ye Tianming..." When Ji Qingwan heard Ye Tianming's words, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She was originally worried that Ye Tianming would not want to have too much connection with the Ji family because of family reasons, but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.

She secretly glanced at Ye Tianming and saw that he looked indifferent, as if he had just done something insignificant. She was deeply moved.

"Mr. Ye, don't worry. Although my Ji family is not a big family, we will never treat you unfairly!" Ji Gang patted his chest and promised.

"Master Ji, you are too polite. I am not doing this for reward..." Ye Tianming said lightly. However, he was interrupted by Ji Gang before he could finish his words.

"Mr. Ye, you are being too polite! You have helped our Ji family so much before. If we can't even do such a small thing, what kind of people are we?" Ji Gang said seriously.

"I've heard from Qing Wan a long time ago that you are an upright person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. It's people like you that I admire the most!"

Ye Tianming smiled helplessly.

In the past, when encountering problems, the Ji family members were often very hesitant and wavering in their stance.

He didn't expect that Ji Gang would become so enthusiastic just after he obtained the inheritance, and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Master Ji more in the future." Ye Tianming nodded, and followed Ji Gang and others towards the many forces waiting for them.

Along the way, Ji Gang and several elders surrounded Ye Tianming and asked him about his well-being, their words full of awe and flattery.

Although Ye Tianming didn't like this kind of scene, he couldn't offend them, so he could only deal with it patiently.

Ji Qingwan followed Ye Tianming and looked at him being surrounded by everyone, her heart filled with pride and sweetness.

She knew that the reason why Ye Tianming was so respected was because of his own strength and charm.

"Tianming, you are so awesome!" She couldn't help but whisper, her tone full of admiration and love.

Ye Tianming turned his head and looked at her. He saw that her eyes were shining and her face was full of happiness and joy. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

He reached out and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what's so great about this?"

"Hmph, you're the stupid one!" Ji Qingwan pouted and slapped his hand away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

At this moment, an old man in a gray robe, surrounded by several family members, walked up to Ye Tianming and his friends.

The old man had white hair and beard, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were bright and seemed to be able to see through everything.

He is Huang Shirong, the second elder of the Huang family, and the great uncle of sisters Huang Bingxin and Huang Bingyan.
