Chapter 619: The Engaged Man
After learning that the Gu family did not approve of her being with Gu Yeqi, Song Yin stopped asking about the Gu family's affairs and spent the entire afternoon learning songs from Gu Yeqi.
However, her talent and ability in this area are limited. No matter how well Gu Yeqi teaches her or how seriously he teaches her, it will only be so-so.
So after an afternoon, Song Yin could only barely sing the song without going off-key or out of tune; it was still a long way from being pleasant to listen to.
"Alright, let's go eat. We've been busy all afternoon, and we're starving."
Even though Song Yin already knew about the Gu family's situation, she was acting as if nothing had happened. At this point, Gu Yeqi was unsure of Song Yin's thoughts. Several times she wanted to ask Song Yin, but before she could even utter a word, Song Yin would brush her off with various excuses.
He had no other choice but to suppress his emotions and go to eat with Song Yin.
They ate barbecue at a Japanese restaurant that evening. Recently, Song Yin has had other ideas in her mind and is no longer as restrained in her eating habits as before.
After the two finished ordering their food and the waiter left, Song Yin rested her arms on the table, propped her chin up with her hands, and looked at Gu Yeqi. She finally said, "Tell me, what exactly is going on with your family? You need to explain it to me clearly so I can figure out what to do."
When Song Yin finally brought up the matter, Gu Yeqi breathed a sigh of relief and then explained Gu Chengyuan's attitude to her. As for the reasons why Gu Chengyuan disagreed, although Gu Chengyuan didn't say, Gu Yeqi could roughly guess, and he also told Song Yin his guess.
At this moment, Gu Yeqi was like a well-behaved child in front of Song Yin, not daring to hide anything from her and telling her everything he knew.
After she finished speaking, she blinked at Song Yin, looking at her with an innocent yet sincere expression, and said, "I've said everything, Yin Yin. I really didn't lie to you this time."
Such an innocent look is almost unfair.
Song Yin couldn't resist and, like a female pervert, reached out and touched Gu Yeqi's face before lazily saying, "I thought it was something serious. If you put it that way, if you weren't engaged to someone else, your family wouldn't object to our relationship, right?"
While the Song family's background isn't as prestigious as the Li family's, it's still a wealthy and influential clan, a good match for the Gu family. If Gu Chengyuan and his family value family background, they wouldn't be dissatisfied with Song Yin.
Gu Yeqi nodded honestly, but for some reason, his gaze towards Song Yin suddenly became somewhat guilty: "This engagement was arranged when we were young. Perhaps my father did this because he felt it would be difficult to explain to them."
"So, this is a pre-arranged marriage between you two, and I'm the one who interfered and ruined your good match with someone else?"
Even though Song Yin was smiling when she said that, for some reason, it just felt creepy.
His ambiguous smile immediately made Gu Yeqi's heart leap into his throat. He nervously swallowed, then quickly said, "How could that be! I was just a child when we got engaged, and besides, I never really approved of this marriage. It's not like ancient times where marriages were arranged."
Gu Yeqi had learned his lesson and knew to play the victim in front of Song Yin. When he looked at Song Yin with a pitiful expression, no one could bear to say anything harsh to him.
Song Yin felt somewhat helpless, and realized that she really lacked self-control.
To outsiders, it might seem that Gu Yeqi was completely under her thumb, but only he knew that it was Gu Yeqi who had him completely under her thumb. This man, relying on his good looks and her soft heart, pretended to be pitiful to "deal with" her, which was truly "despicable"!
"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim with me. I was just asking you casually, I didn't mean anything by it. The way you're acting makes me sound like some heinous villain."
"I didn't mean that, I was just afraid you'd be angry..."
Gu Yeqi continued to feign pitifulness, but Song Yin couldn't bear to look at him. She turned her head away, took a deep breath, and forced herself not to be tempted by Gu Yeqi.
After her somewhat agitated mind calmed down a bit, she looked at Gu Yeqi again and said, "Actually, I have a method here, it just depends on whether you are willing to try it."
"Ok?"
Song Yin didn't answer immediately. Instead, she beckoned to Gu Yeqi to come closer. When Gu Yeqi was close to her, she slowly asked, "What is the attitude of the girl you're engaged to regarding this marriage?"
Gu Yeqi shook his head: "I'm not too sure, but I've heard that he's a very wild person in private."
Song Yin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. If that was indeed the case, then things would be much easier. She had plenty of ways to make the other party cancel the engagement on their own initiative.
So Song Yin whispered her thoughts into Gu Yeqi's ear.
No one knew what she said to Gu Yeqi, but after she finished speaking, Gu Yeqi's eyes widened immediately: "Will this work?"
"Whether it will work or not, we'll find out when we try. What? Are you just being chivalrous and unwilling?"
Gu Yeqi shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. How could he possibly show mercy to another woman? He was just a little worried. After all, if Song Yin's method failed and the Gu family found out, it might give them an even worse impression of Song Yin, which was definitely not something he wanted to see.
However, the situation was already quite dire. Even if it got worse, it couldn't be too bad, so Gu Yeqi didn't hesitate any longer and continued to discuss the detailed plan with Song Yin.
The family Gu Yeqi is engaged to is the Chen family, which settled abroad in the last century and has a predominantly overseas background. The girl Gu Yeqi is engaged to is named Chen Hao, and she is a year younger than him. Even if they were to get married, it would still be several years away, as both are quite young.
Although Gu Yeqi seems sunny, in all his years, the only person he's ever been in a serious relationship with is Song Yin.
However, Chen Hao is different. With the development of foreign customs, she has been having a lot of fun. At such a young age, the number of boyfriends she has dated could almost form a football team.
