Free Web NovelChapter 196: Chapter 196: Lin Mengdie Changed Her Mind _1
Seeing the marriage document she had longed for day and night, Lin Mengdie felt somewhat excited.
She took the marriage document and carefully examined the writing on it, indeed she saw both of their names at the bottom of it.
She had waited for this day for far too long, but now, when she truly held it in her hands, she hesitated.
After all they had been through, Lin Mengdie had developed feelings for Ye Ming.
In every aspect, Ye Ming was the most suitable choice for Lin Mengdie.
In terms of strength, although Ye Ming had never fought a real match with her, the ease with which he had defeated her senior brother Liang Hao was proof enough of his profound strength.
On the matter of family background, Lin Mengdie once heard her grandfather say that the Ye Family had also been a prominent household but had simply fallen into decline due to some twists of fate; however, now, Ye Ming lived in such a grand villa, leaving no doubt about his family’s situation.
As for the rest, Lin Mengdie stole a glance at Ye Ming, her feelings making everything clear.
More importantly, there was Ye Ming’s attitude toward her.
She had been well-off and attractive since childhood, with suitors never ceasing to flock around her, yet she had never bothered to give those men a proper look. She found them utterly vulgar, approaching her only for her beauty. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Whereas Ye Ming had always acted indifferently toward her, as if she didn’t matter at all. This attitude annoyed Lin Mengdie greatly, yet drew her in even more.
Moreover, now that she knew about the existence of Ye Ming’s other fiancées, Lin Mengdie felt even less willing to give up.
She wasn’t ready to let go easily and wanted to compare herself with those two women. She couldn’t believe she would lose to Miss Xia and Miss Xu. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
She was determined to make Ye Ming infatuated with her.
And furthermore...
Lin Mengdie quickly convinced herself, and after looking at the marriage document, she handed it back to Ye Ming, saying earnestly, "I said before that I have to defeat you before I can cancel the marriage agreement!"
"We have never truly sparred, so I can’t cancel this marriage yet."
After saying this, Lin Mengdie returned the marriage document to Ye Ming.
This move left Ye Ming somewhat at a loss.
He asked, a bit bewildered, "Actually, it doesn’t need to be so complicated... we can cancel it now, and if you really feel troubled, I can just admit defeat right away, as if you have already beaten me."
"Not possible!" Lin Mengdie rejected Ye Ming’s offer without even thinking.
Her sudden change of attitude caught both Ye Ming and Lin Bingqing by surprise.
"Uh... that’s not what I meant." Realizing her outburst, Lin Mengdie blushed and hurriedly explained, "What I meant was, if I say something, I have to follow through, or else I will despise myself."
"I need to go back now and deal with my own matters. As for the marriage agreement..."
Lin Mengdie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Once I’m done with my affairs, I will naturally come back to continue our contest. If you lose, I will call off the marriage without hesitation!"
Seeing Lin Mengdie’s determination, Ye Ming didn’t know what to say. He simply made up his mind that when the time came, he would need to throw the match, losing to her on purpose to resolve the matter smoothly.
With everything explained, Lin Mengdie didn’t linger.
After changing her clothes, she left Ye Ming’s home in a hurry and set off on her return journey.
Having sent away this formidable girl, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
He adjusted his emotions and a smile once again graced his face.
The day he had long anticipated had finally arrived; he picked up the marriage contract with Xu Lele and planned to go to the Xu Family to ask for her hand in marriage.
He had waited for this day for too long and could hardly wait any longer.
Just as Ye Ming stepped outside, a grey SUV suddenly roared up and stopped in front of him, blocking his way.
The car door opened, and a smartly dressed woman stepped out.
Ye Ming recognized her at a glance. She was the woman who had always been watching him at the Martial Arts Conference.
Initially, Ye Ming had been full of curiosity about her. Now that the woman had come to him, he certainly needed to inquire about the situation.
Before he could speak, the woman approached Ye Ming and said, "My name is Wang Yating, and I’m from the Yanjing Martial Department. I’ve come to invite you to Yanjing to assume the position of Chief Instructor of the Falcon Squad."
Ye Ming understood. So that was it. No wonder she had been able to sit beside Jiang Long to watch the competition—she was someone with status.
Upon hearing the name Wang Yating, Ye Ming suddenly paused, as if something had come to mind.
"Wang Yating?" After he murmured the name, he recalled that in his marriage contract, there was a woman’s name: Wang Yating.
Wang Yating tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her voice, "What’s wrong? You seem very surprised by my name."
"No, no, no, I just suddenly remembered something!" Ye Ming hurried back into the house, fetched a marriage contract and handed it to Wang Yating.
"Miss Wang, we previously made a marriage contract, and here it is. Perhaps you weren’t aware..."
Wang Yating shook her head, her tone indifferent, "I’m aware of this matter."
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "That simplifies things, no need for further explanations. Since you’ve come to find me, you probably don’t want to marry me, right? With you here, I’ll just return the marriage contract to you and, by the way, annul our marriage agreement."
After hearing Ye Ming’s words, Wang Yating showed a surprised expression.
"Annul the marriage contract?"
Immediately after, she quickly reined in her expression and returned to her usual demeanor.
She thought Ye Ming was playing hard to get by speaking this way, but seeing his serious expression, she realized he wasn’t joking at all.
She felt a bit of indignation inside.
Being the most dazzling woman in the Yanjing Martial Department, she had been constantly pursued over the years. Countless men had tried to woo her, all to be unemotionally rejected by her.
Ever since she learned that she was engaged to a man named Ye Ming, she was even more unwilling and initially extremely resistant, wishing she could immediately seek Ye Ming to annul the engagement.
Therefore, after she came to Yanjing, she started to investigate Ye Ming’s whereabouts and incidentally was invited to attend the Martial Arts Conference, helping the Falcon Squad find a Chief Instructor.
By a twist of fate, she did not expect to find Ye Ming listed among the competitors.
Consequently, her gaze throughout the competition was focused solely on Ye Ming, witnessing firsthand how he, despite being targeted, fought bravely from the first match to the last.
Seeing his valor, Wang Yating had wavered. She wanted to give Ye Ming a chance to see if he was worthy of her.
Yet, to her surprise, at their first formal meeting, Ye Ming intended to annul their engagement.
