The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

06: Breaking the Engagement 2

"Oh? What's this about?" Ye Ling asked.

Duan Tianrao fell silent for a moment before saying: "My goal is here today, other than visiting Tang Tang, which is more important. I'm afraid that's not possible anymore."

Just when Duan Tianrao finished his statement, Ye Ling, who was smiling earlier, immediately turned serious.

"Tianrao, what does this mean?"

Duan Tianrao took a deep breath and decided to come clean: "Tang Tang and I were childhood friends. I admit there is love between us, but it is more love between siblings than a couple. Anyway, that's how I feel, and before coming here, I've told my father about this. My father understood my point, he also felt that relationships should not be forced, he also felt that relationships should not be forced, and because of that, I am here today to officially let go of my engagement to Tang Tang. "

"What?!" Ye Ling hit the table and stared at the dagger towards Duan Tianrao.

"You broke the engagement! Do you know what you're saying ?!"

Ye Ling was furious. The engagement between Duan Tianrao and Ye Qingtang had long since been decided when they were young, and it was a known affair throughout Lin City! But now, with Duan Tianrao canceling the engagement, if this news were to spread, his daughter would become the laughingstock of the entire city!

Duan Tianrao's decision was already final. Even though Ye Ling lost her patience, she confirmed her case: "Uncle Ye, a few days ago, my father had announced to me the heir of Household Duan, and as the next head of the family, a few days ago, my father had announced to me the heir of Household Duan, and as the next head of the family, he was the next, my bride-to-be also became the First Lady of the household. "

After reaching this point in his statement, Duan Tianrao glanced at the veiled Ye Qingtang sitting beside Ye Ling. A trace of disdain could be seen from Duan Tianrao's eyes.

"Tang Tang would never show his face in public, moreover, his spirit root was destroyed; this hindered the future growth in his martial prowess. We, the Duan household, are one of the three main households in Lin City, and the First Lady should play a definite role. Tang …. I'm afraid it's no longer suitable for that. "

"Duan Tianrao, you don't know what you're saying! Your engagement to Tang Tang Tang was an oath made a long time ago, and now you are breaking that oath." Ye Ling warned Duan Tianrao while glaring at him.

Duan Tianrao furrowed his brows and raised his eyes slightly, saying:

"Uncle Ye, we exchanged engagement vows, but that's when Ye Qingtang's spirit root was still intact. Look at his condition now. Uncle Ye, do you really expect me to marry a woman who has no spirit root or face? "

Ye Ling trembled in anger; never in her life did she expect all of this from Duan Tianrao.

Despite being faced with Ye Ling's anger, Duan Tianrao's decision did not falter. He turned his gaze once again towards Ye Qingtang, who had remained silent all this time.

"Tang Tang, I'm sure I've treated you well all this time, but this time, you should put yourself in my shoes. People from the city have long criticized you as horrible and faceless, however, the thought of destroying our engagement never crossed my mind that entire time. But now, even your spirit root is destroyed and you still want to force me to marry you? How did I meet my family's expectations? "

"I can live with such a horrible woman as my wife, but I can never accept having such an incompetent woman as the First Lady of the Duan family."

Duan Tianrao's words were like a heart-piercing dagger. From the very beginning, what he valued at Ye Qingtang was only his spirit root.

When Ye Qingtang's spirit root was still of high quality, he was willing to put up with his sinister face, but now that his spirit root was gone, tolerance towards it was no longer necessary.

Ye Ling rose up in anger, "Shut up! Duan Tianrao, I must have been blind when I agreed to get engaged to Tang Tang Tang to you, to think that you really are a delinquent who likes to cheat!"
