I didn't pick up, and instead hung up and started silently browsing through the hundreds of messages he sent today.

[I do not agree to cancel the engagement!]

[Give me another chance, let's start over.]

Reading his words of repentance, I felt nothing but boredom.

I crafted a message for him, word by word, trying to make him understand that I wasn't joking:

[It's just a verbal engagement with no legal effect. Since you see it as a commercial marriage, let's cancel it.]

[It won't do any good even if you disagree, don't ever come looking for me again.]

Lu Ze either didn't see the message, or saw it but refused to believe, persistently kept calling me.

Too many things happened today, I'm physically and mentally exhausted, so I turned off the phone completely and tossed it onto the bed before heading to the bathroom to wash up.

I slept very deeply, not waking up until noon the next day.
