Chapter 326: Could She Have Called Off the Engagement

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

"We're your brothers, we're not pushovers either. Helping you deal with that little piece of trash is more than easy for us. We'd go through fire and water for our brother! Take a knife in the ribs for you!" Little White Dove said with a laugh.

Jiang Muye looked at Little White Dove with a smile. "As long as the knife doesn't end up in my ribs, that's fine. Don't forget that Yu Xi looks exactly the same as me. If you beat me up, I won't even have anywhere to complain."

"Our combat power isn't the same at all. If I tried to hit you, wouldn't I just get beaten up however you like? I wouldn't even have a place to cry about it."

Jiang Muye nodded. "It's good that you have that awareness."

That was indeed the truth. He was a man with the System.

The System had given him fists comparable to a boxing champion's and ferocious combat power. Who could compete with that?

While Jiang Muye and his brothers were chatting happily, his phone chimed with a notification.

Jiang Muye picked up his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Leng Ruoli.

His heart felt as sweet as if he'd eaten honey.

His girlfriend was messaging him. How could he not be happy?

Although they'd only been apart for less than two hours, his longing for Leng Ruoli had only grown.

Jiang Muye opened WeChat and saw Leng Ruoli's message, but his smile froze.

Wife: Muye, I might not be able to see you for the next few days. I have a bit of a thing.

A thing?

What kind of thing could it be?

Jiang Muye replied with doubt: What's going on? Are you going abroad?

After a short while, Leng Ruoli replied: No, it's just a little something.

Jiang Muye found it particularly strange.

Just now, when they were in the car, Leng Ruoli hadn't mentioned anything. How could she suddenly have a thing now?

What exactly had happened?

Seeing that Jiang Muye's expression had turned sour, Little White Dove leaned over to sneak a peek at his phone. "What's up, bro?"

Jiang Muye felt inexplicably irritable. "Ruoli has some thing going on, she says she can't see me for now and I'll have to wait a while."

Little White Dove was baffled. "Didn't you just succeed in your proposal? You two are in the honeymoon phase right now. Could she be trying to call off the engagement?"

"Call off the engagement? That can't be right! But I've heard that girls all have marriage anxiety, especially when they're locking things down this early. It's hard to avoid feeling anxious. Besides, she's still a student, studying comes first. Could she be having second thoughts about getting married?" Old He analyzed.

Old He's words made Jiang Muye's brows knit tightly.

Kai nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, a girl's youth only lasts a few years. If she spends them stuck in a marriage, revolving around firewood, rice, oil, and salt, that really would be a shame. Could the Cold Campus Belle think it's too early to get married and want to think it over?"

Jiang Muye immediately rejected it. "No, she's not that kind of person!"

If she was unwilling, she wouldn't have agreed in the first place.

She would have told him clearly. How could she possibly be so roundabout and delay things?

"A girl's mind is the hardest thing to understand. Otherwise, what reason would she have to not see you? When a girl wants a few days to cool off with you, she's thinking about your relationship," Little White Dove said worriedly.

"Did you do something to upset her? Step on a landmine?" Kai asked.

Jiang Muye was completely baffled. "None of that. I just proposed, and she agreed. There was nothing weird about it."

"Did she agree to your proposal just to save your face? Afraid that rejecting you would make you lose face, since you're a public figure and all?" Old He thought for a moment and said.

"Girls are the most tsundere. Especially the Cold Campus Belle, she's the type who isn't great at expressing herself. It's very possible she doesn't know how to tell you to your face, afraid you'll get angry. After all, this concerns a major life decision," Little White Dove nodded.

Jiang Muye was instantly at a loss. "?"

Was that how it was?

"Right now I just want to marry her, but I don't want her to marry me immediately. She's only my fiancée for now. If we don't get married right away, we can wait a few years," Jiang Muye said, troubled.

There were indeed many girls with pre-marital anxiety, but he had never imagined Leng Ruoli would have it too.

True, Leng Ruoli was still so young and about to get married. It was hard to avoid anxiety.

Could it be that her mother had said something and put pressure on her?

All sorts of guesses spun rapidly through Jiang Muye's mind.

So, was that why Leng Ruoli was starting to change her mind?

Just as Jiang Muye's mind was in chaos, Little White Dove began to remind him. "How about you give the Cold Campus Belle a few days to calm down? Maybe it'll be fine in a few days. Let her think about your relationship."

"…Alright."

Jiang Muye didn't want to force Leng Ruoli either. Getting married was a very important matter, after all.

If she wanted to break free from him, he would respect that too.

True, getting married required careful thought. It wasn't like dating, carefree and easy.

There was a thorn in Jiang Muye's chest, so sharp he couldn't breathe.

After much careful thought, Jiang Muye replied to Leng Ruoli: Alright, then we won't see each other for the next few days. I'll give you time to calm down and reexamine our relationship.

When Leng Ruoli received Jiang Muye's message, she was stunned for a moment.

Reexamine their relationship? What did that mean?

While Leng Ruoli was a little confused, Jiang Xueli happened to walk in from outside the dorm.

Jiang Xueli seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song. Just as she was about to sit down and style her hair, Leng Ruoli, who had been lying on the bed, immediately looked at Jiang Xueli.

"What should I do? I think I'm having some relationship problems."

Hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Xueli snapped her head over. "Relationship problems? With who? With my brother?"

"Yeah." Leng Ruoli nodded.

"Didn't you and my brother just settle your engagement? What's going on?" Jiang Xueli asked, puzzled.

Leng Ruoli pressed a pillow to her face and said helplessly, "We did have a bit of a conflict just now. He messaged me on WeChat saying he wanted to reexamine our relationship. It left me at a loss."

"What! Could he be one of those men who doesn't cherish it once he's got it!" Jiang Xueli's emotions flared up. "Thinking that since you're his fiancée and it's a done deal, he doesn't have to treasure you?"

Leng Ruoli immediately shook her head at Jiang Xueli. "Impossible. He's not that kind of person."

Having dated Jiang Muye for so long, how could Leng Ruoli not know his character?

Jiang Muye had wanted to marry her not long ago, wanted to give her a future.

How could he possibly go back on it now?

Seeing Leng Ruoli's distressed look, Jiang Xueli nodded. "You're right. My brother is still very reliable. Could he be facing some difficulty, something he can't bring himself to say?"

Jiang Xueli's words made Leng Ruoli's brows knit a little tighter.

She thought hard for a moment. It really was very possible.

But she'd never heard Jiang Muye mention anything like that before.

What on earth was going on?
