Chapter 176
Jiang Youbai was already on edge due to the situation with his fiancé. The sudden appearance of a strange-looking young man in front of him set off alarm bells in his mind!
His fox-like eyes, usually softened by laughter, now revealed their true fierceness. Still holding Jiang Yan's hand, Jiang Youbai glanced at Lu Yang, then looked down at her, waiting for an explanation.
Jiang Yan had initially felt justified about the whole affair, believing she had handled it well, especially since she hadn't really been involved with Lu Yang...
But when this person abruptly appeared before her, Jiang Yan froze completely!
It seemed as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head at once, making her lips tremble, unable to utter a single word.
The same... How could it be the same?!
Jiang Yan stared blankly at Jiang Youbai, squeezing his hand even harder than he was holding hers, then dazedly reassessed Lu Yang...
But the feeling was indeed the same.
Although the two men looked nothing alike, they both gave her an eerily familiar sensation that penetrated to her very bones.
Two men with the same feeling - one standing beside her, holding her hand, the other standing in front of her with a look of betrayed accusation.
She knew both of them all too well.
Lu Yang, who had harbored feelings for this girl in his heart for so long, thinking of her day and night, now saw her before him, intimately holding someone else's hand.
Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Yan! I never agreed to break off our engagement."
Jiang Yan opened her mouth but no sound came out.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yang recited all the words of apology he had prepared: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so focused on training after our engagement that I neglected you, causing our relationship to gradually drift apart.
I'm not good at expressing myself, but I always had my mother send you gifts, just without telling you. I even have a diary I wrote during training, full of things I wanted to say to you...
Didn't we have it all planned out? We were going to get married in two years, put all the property in your name, you'd manage me, and I'd ask you for pocket money..."
Jiang Yan was too shocked to speak, wanting to say this wasn't true, but Lu Yang was still so much like himself. Meanwhile, Jiang Youbai's face had turned ashen.
Jiang Youbai had been very confident in his status as her boyfriend. Even with some fiancé in the picture, even if Lu Yang said a lot, it was all just empty words. As long as Jiang Yan loved him, he could handle anything.
Rather than waiting for the girl's explanation, he really just wanted to see her attitude, to teach her a lesson... But the girl slowly let go of his hand.
Jiang Youbai was stunned. His fox-like eyes twitched as he feigned nonchalance, saying to Jiang Yan in a lazy tone, "What's this? You really have some emotional entanglement? It's not a big deal, just give me an explanation and I'll let it slide this time."
He reached for Jiang Yan's hand, but she pulled away.
Lu Yang still stood there, his handsome face showing an eagerness never seen before.
Jiang Yan ignored them both and ran away!
She ran so fast that neither Jiang Youbai nor Lu Yang could catch up.
In fact, Lu Yang had held Jiang Youbai back, preventing him from continuing the chase.
Jiang Youbai stopped willingly, mainly to mock Lu Yang: "We're in the interstellar age now, brother. Don't try to use an engagement to tie someone down. My girlfriend isn't having it."
Lu Yang retorted coldly, "Whether she's having it or not isn't for you to decide. We're childhood sweethearts, grew up together. You just took advantage of a gap. I suggest you stop coveting my fiancée."
Jiang Youbai narrowed his fox-like eyes, coldness seeping from his gaze. He sneered, "Let's see who she chooses, me or you?"
"Same goes for you," Lu Yang shot back without hesitation.
