Guan Tang’s tone was very sincere as she said, “As you know, the Yin family originally didn’t intend to bring you back to the family. Hence, at that time, they didn’t mention our engagement. In fact, the engagement was not only sudden for you, but it was sudden for me as well. I felt even more uncomfortable when I learned you already have someone you love. Why would I want to be a third party in someone’s relationship? It’d be awkward to be sandwiched between the both of you.” Then, she tilted her head slightly and asked with a hint of teasing, “Moreover, do I look like I’d have trouble marrying? Do I look like I need you to marry me?”

Cheng Che looked at Guan Tang and felt his heart calm down. He thought that finally there was someone normal from the Yin family. With that, his expression softened as he asked, “Miss Guan, when you parted ways with Jiahui, was she agitated?”

Guan Tang stopped smiling and thought about it seriously before she gently shook her head and said, “No, her emotions were stable. I carefully apologized to her, and she was very magnanimous. She didn’t care at all that I had a prior engagement with you. She trusts you very much. Your relationship must be very good for her to be so confident. You must have given her a sense of security.”

Cheng Che remained silent as his eyebrows remained furrowed.

At this time, Guan Tang called out tentatively, “Cheng Che.”

Cheng Che looked up. “Huh? What is it?”

Guan Tang studied his expression for a moment before she said tentatively, “Although the engagement our mothers agreed upon back then doesn’t count, can we be friends?”

Cheng Che was slightly startled by these words.

Upon seeing this, Guan Tang hastily said, “I, I mean, we can be ordinary friends. My,my parents left early. Although my aunt adopted me, and I have my cousins, I still can’t forget my parents.” She bit her lower lip as she looked at Cheng Che and said carefully, “In my heart, you’re like the gift that my mother left me. It’s fine that we don’t become husband and wife. I understand that you don’t like me that way. However, I can’t help but feel close to you, kind of like a relative. Do you understand what I mean?”

After a brief moment, Guan Tang added timidly, “I don’t have any ulterior motives…”

Cheng Che looked at Guan Tang and could not help but pity her. Hence, he said slowly, “Alright. If you have any difficulties, you can call me. I’ll do my best to help since I don’t want my mother to be sad either. I apologize, but I don’t love you and I won’t marry you. Love can’t be forced, after all.”

The light in Guan Tang’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she still nodded. “I understand, I understand. It’s just that with you around, I feel like I can feel the warmth from my mother. I don’t have any extravagant desires.”

Following that, Cheng Che wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of paper before he said, “If there’s anything, you can call this number. It belongs to my secretary, Xiao An. It’d be easier for you to look for him than to look for me. He’ll help with your problems.”

Guan Tang bit her lower lip again and nodded slightly. “Alright, thank you.”

Then, she looked as though she was hesitating to say something.

Cheng Che looked at her and softened his tone as he said, “Is there anything else?”

Guan Tang looked at Cheng Che and forced a smile on her face before she asked, “Can I call you to talk if I have any troubles?”

Cheng Che scratched his head and said, “This… I don’t think I’d be good at it. When I find my fiancee, you can interact with her more. She’s very understanding and considerate. I’m sure both of you will be good friends. At that time, it’d be more convenient for us to look after you. After all, the dust hasn’t settled yet for now.”

Guan Tang nodded. “Alright. This is great. I’ll help you to look for Dr. An as well!”

After saying that, without giving Cheng Che a chance to refuse, she grabbed her phone and hurried away.
