Chapter 10 I Want To Break Off Our Engagement!
"All right." - Suddenly Victor interrupted.
"Аh?"
Mu Bing Yun felt as if she didn't hear it correctly, she didn't believe what she heard.
"What did you say?"
"From now on, I'll stop following you." - With a slight smile Victor replied.
Mu Bing Yun was stunned by the sudden turn of events, she knew that Victor would never stop stalking her, she even prepared several women ready to climb into the bed with him just so he would leave her for a while, but her plan was suddenly ruined by Victor's strange behavior.
"Are you sure you're going to stop following me?" - She squinted her eyes looking at Victor, she was suspicious of his words and wasn't sure whether what he spoke was true.
"Why wouldn't I?" - Victor grinned.
"Ah?" - Once again Mu Bing Yun was stunned, she couldn't understand what was going on with Victor today. He acted very differently compared to his usual behavior.
"If that's all, I think I'll be going."
Although Mu Bing Yun's expression was quite amusing to watch, Victor didn't want to waste any more of his time, he knew it was better to let this woman go, because there were quite a few beautiful flowers in the Northern Region besides her.
Only after a few breaths passed did Mu Bing Yun seem to begin to come to her senses, she could not believe Victor's words.
'He's changed…' That's all she could think, his indifferent words and ignorance of her beauty, he seemed not to notice her presence at all; she even thought he was trying to escape as quickly as possible.
'It's none of my business. Most importantly he stopped stalking me.' She shook her head a few times and smiled a bit thinking that it was already over, when she suddenly noticed that Victor suddenly stopped and returned to her desk.
'What? Did he already change his mind?' - Mu Bing Yun laughed scornfully now she was sure that Victor's real personality and behavior had returned, because she assumed that now Victor should take his words back.
Victor ignored her chuckle because he didn't care about this woman at all.
"You don't like me at all?" - Victor asked with a bright smile; he needed to know the answer.
"No." Mu Bing Yun answered without even stopping to think for a second.
"So our feelings are mutual, should we break the engagement?" - Victor answered indifferently.
"Huh?" - After Victor's words, Mu Bing Yun froze as if struck by thunder, she could not believe his words, if she was asked which words Victor would never say in his life, they would be these, but now she did not even know how to answer.
Her persecution by Victor began a long time ago, and in time Mu Bing Yun seemed to get used to it, because it was not someone unknown but her future husband, whom she will have to marry for the welfare of the clan.
Although she wanted to have an opinion on the marriage, there was no place for her opinion at all, the order of the clan patriarch, her father, was like a decree from the heavenly emperor, no one could contradict his words in the Mu clan.
Of course this did not apply to Victor at all, unlike her he could decide whether to marry her or not, and the last time he noticed her beauty he decided he should, and eventually began to pursue her.
But the real Victor, the current possessor of the body, is very different. He thinks differently, it is not a man who should pursue a woman, but a woman who should pursue a man. It was like that in his second life, so he assumed it should be the same in this life too.
'Is this a dream?' wondered Mu Bing Yun, when she came to her senses and pinched her hand a few times to reassure herself that all of this was really happening.
'Didn't he dream of marrying me?' Mu Bing Yun couldn't help but wonder, she had always thought it must be his most cherished dream. He had been like a shadow, constantly by her side at all times for the past few years, but now he himself proposed to break the marriage contract without anyone even forcing him. Which made Mu Bing Yun deeply puzzled.
"You're kidding right?" - She asked seriously, Mu Bing Yun had already begun to realize that Victor was probably telling the truth now, so she didn't mock him but just asked straight out.
"No, I used to be deeply in love with you, but now... I have other priorities, and I don't want to waste my time chasing after you, which will lead nowhere. So the best thing for both of us is to break off the engagement. Neither you nor I are in love with each other, so it's the best solution for both of us." - Looking into her cold eyes Victor said indifferently.
Mu Bing Yun was stunned by Victor's words, because she assumed that she would never hear him speak to her like that, and on top of that he was speaking about breaking off their engagement.
'He really wants to break off the engagement!' You couldn't say she hadn't dreamed of it, today she just wanted to get rid of Victor's pursuit but she didn't expect him to break off the engagement and cut her out of his life.
"Can you tell that to my parents?" - Mu Bing Yun tried to keep calm, but alas it failed as her eternally icy face was now slightly frowning.
Victor understood why she asked that, maybe she wasn't quite sure if Victor was telling the truth or not, at least just yet. But the main reason was their parents, if Mu Bing Yun personally could not break their engagement as their Mu clan was significantly inferior to the Yang clan.
It was easy for Victor to do so, because even if he broke off their engagement, the Yang clan would not lose much unlike the Mu clan, Victor would only be forced to marry another beautiful girl from any relatively strong clan of the Northern region and that was it.
It was a win-win, Victor didn't care if the Mu clan begged him not to break off the engagement or not, he needed to get rid of this girl and the unwanted marriage contract.
"Of course, I'll visit them tomorrow." - After these words Victor immediately left the restaurant.
At the same time Mu Bing Yun was too puzzled by Victor's behavior today, it was not to say that she was not happy about it, but it was still quite strange and unusual to see Victor act like this. With a slight sigh she looked at her palms, it was impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment.
Victor, on the other hand, laughed merrily on his way home; he was glad to be rid of the time bomb. Mu Bing Yun was undeniably a beautiful girl, but she had a fatal flaw in Victor's opinion, she was too beautiful.
Victor read novels about cultivation and can guess what will happen if he marries her, for example she will be kidnapped and he will have to save her, or some young master and a huge clan will appear, which even his Yang clan could not afford to disturb and again Victor will know no peace.
"No, no and again no!" Victor shook his head a few times; he didn't want any trouble, for this meant the end of his peaceful life. Ever since he had seen Mu Bing Yun, he already knew that it is for the best that he stays away from her.
For she possessed a beauty capable of destroying cities.
