As Luo Bi left, Wu Yue and Jiang Zhu began to discuss the matters of Luo Bi's family. The pharmacy had few staff, and when they were working, their mouths were often idle, so gossiping about others became a daily routine.
Luo Bi was also such a person. Despite appearing to be close friends with Jiang Zhu, if Jiang Zhu wasn't around, Luo Bi would talk about her behind her back with Wu Yue, just as she often gossiped about Wu Yue with Jiang Zhu.
Luo Bi didn't have the virtue of not gossiping about others, which some other穿越者 (time travelers) possessed. No matter who it was, if she was bored, she and Jiang Zhu, Wu Yue would all comment on them. In the small world of the Wu family pharmacy, no one could control their tongues.
Xiang Ming Pavilion was not far from the Wu family pharmacy, and it took only five minutes to drive there in a sports car.
Luo Bi entered Xiang Ming Pavilion, scanned the room with her eyes, and saw Hua Chen sitting by the window. She then walked over with a smile and sat down.
Hua Chen first glanced at Luo Bi, took a sip of tea, and said, "I've thought it over repeatedly. We are not suitable for each other, so let's dissolve the engagement."
"Huh?" Luo Bi initially thought she had misheard. She looked at the handsome man across from her with a puzzled expression, her smile fading. Her hearing was excellent, and she clearly heard what Hua Chen said.
However, the suddenness of the situation left her unprepared. She tilted her head, blinking repeatedly, trying to read any hints from the man's face. There had been no prior signs, and Hua Chen's sudden proposal to dissolve the engagement left her bewildered.
Hua Chen calmly sipped his tea, his expression showing no emotion, but the obvious distance made Luo Bi's mind clear. Regardless of the reason, the other party truly wanted to end the engagement.
"Unsuitable?" Luo Bi smiled mysteriously, twirling the teacup by its handle. Hua Chen was outstanding in appearance, a strong gene lightning warrior, and his family background was decent. Luo Bi had always thought that when the time was right, they would naturally get married.
Who would have thought that Hua Chen would want to dissolve the engagement.
Clearly, something unexpected had happened on Hua Chen's side. Luo Bi didn't believe the obvious excuse that they were unsuitable, as they had been getting along well.
After a quick mental review, Luo Bi probed, "Can you tell me the real reason?"
Luo Bi guessed it might be related to Hua Ran's damaged strong gene. She had hidden the fact that she had awakened, and in everyone's eyes, she was just an ordinary person. However, Hua Chen was a strong gene lightning warrior with a gene level of A, and they were not a good match. The main reason Luo Bi and Hua Chen had an engagement was because she had a brother with the most potential to become a strong gene lightning warrior.
Hua Ran and Hua Chen were cousins in the Hua family. Due to certain reasons, Hua Ran left the Hua family and joined the military on Zhihuang Star, where he gradually showed his strength. The Hua family probably didn't want to give up on a promising young member and, upon learning that a branch of the Luo family on Zhihuang Star was interested in marrying into the local military, tacitly approved of Hua Chen's engagement to the Luo family.
Now that Hua Ran's strong gene was damaged, even if his life could be saved, he would likely be incapacitated. It was not surprising that the Hua family decided to dissolve the engagement.
Hua Chen looked at Luo Bi with a complex expression. Luo Bi couldn't read the meaning behind his gaze, but she heard him say, "You're overthinking it. We just aren't suitable. There's no other reason."
After spending time together, he wouldn't even tell her the truth. Luo Bi felt a bit annoyed, and her good feelings towards him plummeted to the lowest point. Any lingering regret instantly vanished, and she chuckled, "Alright then. If that's the case, let's dissolve the engagement."
Luo Bi was a time traveler and had no sense of belonging to this interstellar world. An engagement was just that; besides feeling a bit puzzled, there was nothing to be sentimental about. If the engagement was to be canceled, so be it. Who cares.
