Chapter 386

The urge to cry grew even stronger, yet Minamoto Xia Jiang still restrained that emotion.

"Grandfather, I want to be willful just once."

"..."

Minamoto Hogoro vaguely sensed what his beloved Sun Nu wanted to say.

"Xia Jiang, you must make a firm decision about such matters."

"I have already made my decision."

This was the first time Minamoto Xia Jiang made such a request of her grandfather; whatever followed would be her act of willfulness.

After saying those words to her grandfather, Minamoto Xia Jiang prepared herself and slowly walked to Minamoto Wu's presence.

Minamoto Wu also felt a trace of unease at Xia Jiang's sudden, formal approach, yet he still rose to his feet.

"Xia Jiang."

Looking at the man before her, Minamoto Xia Jiang took a deep breath.

"Xiao Wu, our engagement has encountered an unexpected change, so let us cancel it."

Those sudden words were to Minamoto Wu almost like a bolt from the blue.

This made him instinctively want to grab Xia Jiang and demand answers, but Xia Jiang dodged as he reached out.

This made Minamoto Wu realize the problem is very serious.

"Xia Jiang, this, this—why exactly?"

Seeing that this man still refused to give up hope, Minamoto Xia Jiang finally spoke through gritted teeth:

"Caicheng Wu Yan... must I say that name before you will give up?"

Minamoto Wu... Caicheng Wu Yan froze, his face deathly pale as he looked at Xia Jiang, whose eyes still held tears.

This time he understood why Xia Jiang wanted to cancel the engagement.

He also realized his identity had been exposed.
