Chapter 7: Does Breaking Up Require a Reason?

Qin Zi Mo got nervous right away, "Yan Yan, you… what does this mean?"

Song Huan Yan looked at his face, and in a daze recalled the moments of the past.

She used to think Qin Zi Mo was enthusiastic and bright, daring to love and to hate, upright and unyielding, and righteous.

But now, after he thought he had reached a height he'd never before attained, his righteousness and uprightness turned into nitpicking and a vengeful grudge.

When the two drivers ignored him, he couldn't wait to flaunt his authority and fire them.

"Literal meaning." Song Huan Yan stood up, "There is no Engagement today, it's just my birthday banquet."

She finished speaking and was about to get back into the car.

Qin Zi Mo, however, said, "Wait! You… what exactly do you mean?"

Song Huan Yan turned around, expression flat and indifferent, "It means we have broken up, there is no Engagement, and from now on each goes his own way."

"Break up…" Qin Zi Mo was deeply shocked.

That really was a massive blow to the head!

Breaking up on the day of the Engagement is already ill‑timed and quite surprising.

Moreover, he had just learned his girlfriend was a Billionaire Heiress, and was immediately dumped; that was like a bolt from the blue!

"Why?" Qin Zi Mo reached out to pull Song Huan Yan, "Why break up? Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Song Huan Yan dodged his hand, turned her gaze to stare at him, "Why, aren't you clear in your heart?"

Those words suddenly made Qin Zi Mo feel very guilty.

How could someone who has done something shady not feel guilty?

"I…" Qin Zi Mo stammered.

But Song Huan Yan simply looked at him calmly, her emotions steady.

She waited for him to confess without prompting.

But Qin Zi Mo couldn't just confess, and said, "What's wrong with me? What do I understand? Where did I go wrong? Oh, is it because I said I would punish the drivers and you thought that inappropriate? That you think today is a wonderful day for us?"

Song Huan Yan replied, "Do you think that's it?"

Qin Zi Mo felt Song Huan Yan was acting strange, as if she were deceiving him.

He quickly recalled that since Song Huan Yan entered his Bedroom last night, her behavior had been a bit odd.

But Song Huan Yan's temperament has always been cool and indifferent; calling it odd isn't really odd.

Qin Zi Mo thought he hadn't left any trace, and Qiao An also said that afterward no one entered the Wardrobe Room again.

She certainly hadn't noticed anything; if she had, given Song Huan Yan's character she would have broken up with him immediately then.

But if she hadn't noticed, why break up with him suddenly now?

Nevertheless, whether Song Huan Yan noticed anything or not, he still couldn't avoid confessing!

"I think it's only this. Baby, do you think I was overbearing?" Qin Zi Mo asked.

Song Huan Yan lightly pressed her lips, seeming she wouldn't admit it herself.

"If you want to think that way, that's fine too." Song Huan Yan didn't intend to tangle with him further; achieving her goal was enough.

Her purpose was to make Qin Zi Mo see her as the Song Family Heiress, to cause him to lose the 'wealth and honor' he should have easily obtained, and to leave him with endless regret for the rest of his life!

"No." Qin Zi Mo kept reaching to pull her, his tone indulgent, petulant and helpless, "Yan Yan baby, what's this reason? Fine, I know, I'm wrong. My baby is a Top‑tier wealthy family heiress, a genteel lady, with extraordinary bearing. I can't be petty either. I'll change, okay? Baby, there's no need to get angry over such a trivial matter, right?"

Song Huan Yan looked at him with a smile.

"I understand. I come from a humble background; you Aristocratic Family have things I truly lack. I promise, from this moment I'll study hard, okay?"

Song Huan Yan said nothing.

Qin Zi Mo suddenly felt inexplicably terrified, as if the next second he would lose her completely.

"Yan Yan, I know that a face and bearing like yours in an Aristocratic Family are important. But I'm sorry; because of my birth, I truly lack many things. From now on I'll obey you in everything, never embarrass you, do whatever you want me to do, and learn whatever you want me to have."

Song Huan Yan finally spoke, "Qin Zi Mo, is it because I'm the Song Family Heiress that you act this way?"

"Of course not!" Qin Zi Mo immediately denied.

His eyes also became very affectionate, and he said, "We've been in love for four or five years, sharing many years together. We both poured all our feelings into each other, and we were each other's first love, unforgettable, having gone through countless people and events together. Others who have been together this long have many married and had children, but I know you have devoted yourself to my career, considered everything for me, thought of me. Even if you weren't the Song Family Heiress, even if you were just General Sang's Assistant, you are still the girlfriend I deeply love, the other half I will walk into marriage with, my comrade in my career, my partner in life, my lover in love. Yan Yan, I love you, I truly love you."

At this moment, Qin Zi Mo wasn't entirely a pretended affection; his feelings were genuine.

Sometimes, when people are immersed in past memories, they feel true emotions.

But that is genuine feeling toward past recollections.

The past involved love, but the betrayal was also real.

If Song Huan Yan hadn't heard those last night, Qin Zi Mo's words today would have moved her.

But now they only make her feel disgusted.

She asked with a cool gaze, "Do you truly believe what you say?"

Qin Zi Mo was stunned for a moment, "Yan Yan, I am sincere! Haven't you always known how I feel about you?"

He had always been good to her, and she knew that.

But later things changed; all that goodness turned into a façade.

When did it change?

Perhaps it changed when he got involved with Qiao An.

Song Huan Yan didn't want to probe further.

Song Huan Yan said, "You've acted too much, dragging yourself into it. Let me say it again, we are broken up."

Qin Zi Mo instantly became red‑eyed with urgency, stepping forward again to pull her, "Why exactly?"

His hand was blocked by the bodyguard standing by Song Huan Yan.

Song Huan Yan looked back at him, "Does breaking up need a reason?"

Qin Zi Mo: "How could it not need a reason? You have to tell me why. Where exactly did I go wrong?"

Song Huan Yan raised an indifferent eyebrow, her tone cold, "I can give you a hundred reasons; pick whichever you want, I'll send it to your email later."

After speaking, Song Huan Yan bowed slightly and got into the car.

"You!" Qin Zi Mo's eyes reddened, fine sweat beading on his forehead, "Yan Yan! Song Huan Yan! What on earth are you doing?! Why are you breaking up with me for no reason? Do you know today is our Engagement day! No one breaks up on an Engagement day, huh?"

Qin Zi Mo said that as he shed his tears.

Breaking up on the Engagement day—killing and Punishing the Heart!

"Yan Yan, are you deliberately being coquettish, willful, and throwing a little tantrum at me? You're testing me, right?" Qin Zi Mo propped his hand on the car door, looking at his noble girlfriend inside the car, "Yes, I know, you're testing me. Yan Yan, rest assured, I will never break up with you in this lifetime! I will never let go of your hand, I will always only hold your hand, Yan Yan, Song Huan Yan, I love you!"
