Song Baiyu fled in disarray under his mother's bombardment of questioning, and the car key was handed over by his elder brother Song Bohu who chased after him.
The car had just started, and Song Bo Yu discovered a very serious problem - he didn't know the location of the date. Earlier, his mom was so busy asking about his relationship with Zhou Yan Ran that she forgot to tell him this important detail, and he was too busy responding to her questioning to ask.
Song Baiyu really wanted to go back and ask his mom where the date was, but remembering his mom's enthusiasm earlier and his sister's piercing gaze, he decisively dispelled this idea.
Song Baiyu took out his mobile phone and searched for half a day before finding Zhou Yanran's phone number.
"Hello?" As soon as the phone was answered, a thick Beijing-accented Mandarin voice came through, sweet and crisp.
Hearing the other party's obviously distant voice, Song Boyu raised an eyebrow, and it was clear that the other party had deleted his phone number long ago. Taking a deep breath, Song Boyu calmly asked: "I'm Song Boyu, where did we meet?"
"I'm at the leisure bar on the 2nd floor of Jindu Cinema." The voice on the other end of the phone was Song Boyu, and it immediately turned cold. After a few simple words, he hung up the phone, and Song Boyu didn't even have time to recall the specific location of Jindu Cinema.
Feeling the woman's disgust and indifference towards him, Song Baiyu's anger also surged up. The day after tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, what can't that woman talk to him about in person at that time? She even called it a date with him, probably wanting to clear things up with him ahead of time.
At this moment, Song Baiyu even thought of releasing Zhou Yanran's pigeon and not going to the cinema. He just thought that the woman's phone call was made to his home landline, and she was still so close with his mother, Song Baiyu fell silent, no matter what he did, that woman was always carefully calculating.
Fortunately, Jindu Cinema was a large place, and Song Baiyu thought for a moment before knowing the location, driving straight to the destination.
Jindu Cinema is located inside Xijie Pedestrian Street. In less than twenty minutes, Song Baiyu arrived at Xijie Pedestrian Street.
A sudden rainstorm in the late afternoon came and went quickly, leaving behind a sultry wet air and the smell of mud mixed with the air.
The downtown business street is brightly lit. The leisure bar on the 2nd floor of Jindu Cinema is even more bustling with people. Fashionable men and women, after drinking a little red wine, all had flushed faces, either holding hands or hugging each other as they slid into the smoky dance pool.
Song Baiyu walked into the leisure bar and immediately saw Zhou Yanran. Although there were many beautiful girls in the leisure bar, Zhou Yanran was really eye-catching, and the eyes of many men in the bar frequently swept over her body, Song Baiyu thought it would be hard not to see Zhou Yanran.
Zhou Yanran was holding a wine glass, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if pondering a very difficult problem. Her soft and shiny black hair was simply coiled up, with a few strands falling down, setting off her beautiful pink cheeks with lovely curves.
Those almond-shaped eyes with a clear and charming luster, perfectly complemented by the transparent high-heeled sandals that matched her feet. The slender legs, smooth and delicate as jade, were like a work of art. A simple casual outfit yet fully revealed her captivating charm.
If Su Tingting's beauty is like the lily of spring, elegant and refined yet evoking tender love, then Zhou Yanran's beauty is like the chrysanthemum after autumn, exuding a cool fragrance and an air of aloofness that commands respect from afar. This is also why so many people gaze at Zhou Yanran, but few dare to sit close to her.
"How did you get here without making a sound?" When Zhou Yanran came back to her senses, she found that there was an extra person beside her. She frowned slightly, and the tender corners of her mouth were filled with anger, just about to scold, but found it was Song Boyu, so she swallowed her rebuke in time, but the disgust in her eyes did not decrease at all.
In Zhou Yanran's opinion, Song Baiyu had arrived at the bar but didn't make a sound, instead deliberately sitting next to her and sizing her up, making it clear that he was trying to take advantage of her, who knows what he was thinking in his heart.
Song Baiyu glanced at Zhou Yanyan indifferently and said impatiently, "What's the matter with you looking for me?"
Zhou Yanran was taken aback by his words, remembering that this weak man had never dared to lose his temper with her before. Today, he seemed like a completely different person. Recalling that she needed something from Song Boyu today, she successfully concealed the disgust in her eyes.
Song Baiyu's attitude was apparently a bit beyond Zhou Yanran's expectation, which made her have to adjust her emotions in time.
"Bo Yu, I asked you out today because there's something I need your help with." Zhou Yanran spoke carefully, watching Song Bo Yu's expression.
Although the tone was much softer, this sentence was extremely stiff in Song Boyu's ears. Song Boyu heard it without any expression or comment.
"You also know that back when we weren't even born yet, Song Grandfather and my grandfather had already arranged our engagement. The two elderly men wanted to strengthen family ties through marriage, I can understand their way of thinking, but after all, it's the old-fashioned ideas of their generation. Now times have changed, and the environment is different from back then, so...so..."
Song Baiyu's expression on his face didn't change at all, which made Zhou Yanran feel very uncertain. The previous Song Baiyu had always promised her a hundred times, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue. Zhou Yanran bit her teeth and still said what she thought: "Do you think our engagement is over?"
After finishing the last sentence, Zhou Yanran's whole body relaxed, as if the heavy burden on her had been suddenly lifted. Her sitting posture also straightened a lot, and her beautiful eyes stared at Song Boyu. At the same time, she kept encouraging herself in her heart: She didn't need to be afraid of this mediocre bookworm, the worst result was that he would not agree to divorce, but he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
It's true that she was in the wrong, and Song Baiyu had been acting out of character all day, only saying one sentence from entering the bar to now, treating her as if they were strangers, which made her feel a bit guilty.
"Why aren't you speaking, is there something wrong with me?" Seeing Song Boyu staring at her without saying a word, his eyes were a bit strange, but not that passionate or greedy gaze, which made her think that there was something wrong with her outfit, she couldn't help but ask out of doubt.
"I'm not a fan of arranged marriages either, let's just do as you say." Seeing Zhou Yanran's anxious expression, Song Boyu suddenly smiled. After all, she was just a young girl and would get flustered too. He had actually been intimidated by this woman before he arrived, which was truly ridiculous.
"Ah, you agree to cancel our engagement?" After hearing Song Boyu's words, Zhou Yanran's small mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were filled with incredulous expressions.
This bookworm can't easily let himself off, he's been pestering himself for over a decade. Zhou Yanran clearly remembered that five years ago when she proposed to dissolve the engagement with Song Boyu, Song Boyu got so agitated that they had a huge fight, and things got out of hand, resulting in Song Boyu getting beaten up by his family and even being sent abroad, while she also didn't escape scolding when she returned home.
