Hearing Sheng Han's response, the last thread of hope in Li Qi's heart was extinguished.
Grandfather was right, the Sheng Family did intend to back out, and Sheng Han was certainly aware of it.
"Qi'Er, Sheng Han is not wrong. Lord Sheng is over eighty years old and in poor health. He mustn't be further agitated. You need to understand."
Listening to his daughter's somewhat accusatory and questioning tone, Li An stepped in to defend Sheng Han.
"Father, let's annul the engagement with the Sheng Family."
Li Qi looked at her father and uttered words that left both Li An and Sheng Han stunned. The difference was, after Sheng Han realized what had been said, a trace of delight flashed in his eyes. Li An missed this, but Li Qi saw it clearly.
"Nonsense, Qi'Er, what are you talking about? This engagement was set by both families. How can it be annulled without reason? How will this let your grandfather rest in peace?"
