Gu Qingshu was so angry that his face turned green when he heard the messy rumors outside. He was afraid that this matter would cause dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister, so he hurried to explain without doing anything. However, before he finished speaking, Nan Xi came back.

"Sister Xi." Gu Qingshu pursed his lips, looking affectionate, "I have wronged you these days. I am useless-"

"You are indeed useless." Nan Xi interrupted him calmly, "Gu Qingshu, let's cancel the engagement."

What?

Gu Qingshu's face changed: "Sister Xi?"

Prime Minister Nan and Madam Nan were also stunned.

"You should have understood what I said." Nan Xi looked at him with disgust in her eyes, "We were only verbally engaged, and we didn't sign a marriage certificate. It's good for you and me to cancel the engagement."

"Sister Xi!" Gu Qingshu came back to his senses and heard Nan Xi's serious tone. He was flustered and grabbed her shoulders in a hurry, "Sister Xi, what's wrong with you? Did the Regent threaten you? Or did he...he forced you..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Gu Qingshu's eyes were gloomy, but his face was gentle and distressed, "Sister Xi, I know that everything was forced on you by the Regent. It's not your fault. I don't care. I like you as a person. Such a mistake should not be borne by you. Sister Xi, I didn't protect you well..."

Nan Xi looked at his sincere expression calmly, and couldn't help thinking in her heart that he was really pretending. Whether it was his expression or his tone, he sounded like a loving man.

If she was still the silly Nan Xi who threw herself at him, she would definitely be moved by his words, and then the two of them would hug and cry like a pair of lovers in distress, and the heaven and earth would be moved by their tragic love.

"Gu Qingshu." Nan Xi lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "I have made up my mind, don't have any more illusions about me."

After that, she turned to look at Madam Nan, "Mom, I have a lot to say to you, let's go back to Tingyu Tower first."

Madam Nan nodded, took her hand and turned to walk out.

"Sister Xi!" Gu Qingshu called her without giving up.

Nan Xi did not even turn her head, and left directly with Madam Nan.

Before Yin Yue and Yin Shuang followed, they turned to look at Gu Qingshu. Their eyes were as cold as ice, and they seemed to carry a warning of murderous intent, which made Gu Qingshu's blood freeze, and the coldness ran directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

After the two maids followed Nan Xi away, Gu Qingshu loosened his clenched hands and turned to look at Nan Xingzhi: "Father-in-law."

Nan Xingzhi looked deeply in the direction where Nan Xi left, "Don't you think Nan Xi has changed too much after coming back this time?"

Gu Qingshu nodded: "Sister Xi must have been threatened by the Regent, so she said that on purpose... Yes, Nan Yue must have assassinated her because of the Regent's plan. Yue'er couldn't have assassinated her sister. They have such a good relationship, how could Yue'er... How could she..."

In short, he never believed that Nan Xi had changed her mind about him.

How could the little girl who only saw him in her eyes since she was twelve years old and loved him wholeheartedly for four years change her mind about him?

"Sisters have a good relationship? Yue'er?" Nan Xingzhi looked at her with a half-smile, "Qingshu, you don't want to have the best of both worlds, do you?"

Gu Qingshu's face froze, then he lowered his brows and said humbly, "Father-in-law, you are joking. I only like Sister Xi, and I love Sister Yue'er because I love her too. How could I have the best of both worlds?"
