Chapter 223: Chapter 223 My Name is Mu Wanqing_1

"Ah?" Ning Fan was taken aback.

"My name is Mu Wanqing. Twenty years ago, our elders made a marriage arrangement between us with the best intentions, but now, that arrangement has become outdated. So, I’m here to call off the engagement," the woman in military attire said again.

An image of a stack of marriage contracts flashed through Ning Fan’s mind, and he quickly remembered that one of them indeed bore the name: Mu Wanqing.

"Ning Fan, I know you probably don’t want to cancel our engagement, but what I want to tell you is that you are just an ordinary person now, while I am the captain of the Phoenix Special Combat Team! The gap between us is simply too great."

"You might not understand what the Phoenix Special Combat Team means. It’s one of the eight top special combat teams in Xia Country, the ace of aces, the elite of the elite! My epaulets bear the rank of Senior Colonel! Only one step away from the rank of General!"

"Do you understand now? It’s impossible for me to marry an ordinary person! So, this marriage, you have to cancel it whether you want to or not, you must cancel it!"

Mu Wanqing saw Ning Fan’s silence, thinking he didn’t want to cancel the marriage, and instantly became more aggressive.

The next second, Ning Fan finally came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Miss Mu, what perfect timing. In fact, if you hadn’t come to me, I was intending to find you myself!"

"You... What do you mean?" Mu Wanqing asked, puzzled.

"Aren’t you here to cancel the engagement? Actually, I’ve been wanting to find you to do the same. It’s just that I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t had the time to find you. Now that you’re here, it works out perfectly. Please wait just a moment for me; I’ll go get the marriage contract for you right now."

After saying that, Ning Fan didn’t wait for Mu Wanqing to respond. He entered the house without inviting her in, leaving her standing at the door.

Two minutes later, Ning Fan emerged with a marriage contract in hand and handed it to Mu Wanqing, saying, "Here you go. This should be the one, right?"

Mu Wanqing looked it over. The marriage contract had an old-fashioned style, exquisite materials, and had clearly endured the test of several decades, with both her and Ning Fan’s names written in the signature area.

Obviously, it was the real marriage contract!

But...

Holding the marriage contract, Mu Wanqing’s gaze towards Ning Fan was filled with confusion.

Who was she, Mu Wanqing? The captain of one of Xia Country’s top eight elite special combat teams, the Phoenix Special Combat Team!

With four stars on her shoulders, she was hailed as the Goddess of War in the military!

Her looks, figure, and demeanor were in no way inferior to those of any other woman. She was even privately known as the Flower of the Eastern War Zone!

Just the suitors from the Eastern War Zone alone could make up an enhanced company!

Months before coming to find Ning Fan, she had already checked him out through the military’s intelligence system. The information showed that the Ning Family had long fallen into decline, and her fiancé, Ning Fan, was now nothing but a commoner at the very bottom of society, even cuckolded by a girlfriend!

She had thought that coming to find this destitute fiancé to call off the marriage would surely meet with his resistance, or he would take advantage of the situation to make various demands.

She had even prepared to offer him some compensation.

But now, here she was, actually coming to call off the marriage, and Ning Fan seemed neither reluctant to end the marriage nor did he pose any conditions. Instead, he appeared somewhat... relaxed? Happy? Eager?

What kind of joke was this?

Was she being rejected?

Mu Wanqing’s face turned ice cold in an instant.

She, the captain of the illustrious Phoenix Special Combat Team, the Flower of the Eastern War Zone, was being rejected?

Ning Fan was so eager to cancel their engagement; could it be because of that girlfriend who cheated on him?

In his eyes, she wasn’t even comparable to a girlfriend who had cuckolded him?

Mu Wanqing’s eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she was suddenly flooded with a feeling of irritation.

"By the way, Miss Mu, now that I have returned the marriage contract to you, please also return the corresponding token of engagement to me,"

Ning Fan said among Mu Wanqing’s confusion and anger.

He now clearly understood that each of these marriage contracts left by his mother corresponded to a fiancée, and each fiancée had a matching token.

A marriage contract and a matching token together constituted a complete marriage agreement.

The jade ring that Su Qingcheng had returned to him when she came to cancel their engagement was the token corresponding to that marriage contract.

Now that he had returned Mu Wanqing’s marriage contract, it was naturally time to reclaim the corresponding token.

"The token..."

Mu Wanqing frowned for a moment, then spoke calmly, "When we truly cancel our engagement, I will naturally return the token to you."

"Truly cancel our engagement? Miss Mu, what do you mean? We can truly end our engagement right now!" Ning Fan said, confused.

Mu Wanqing snorted coldly and said, "Our marriage contract was made by our respective elders. I, Mu Wanqing, am not someone who reneges on promises. Therefore, I won’t cancel the engagement with you just yet. I will give you a chance! If you can seize this opportunity, then I might not cancel the engagement with you!"

"But if you fail to seize this opportunity, it won’t be me breaking the promise our elders made. It would be because you simply aren’t suitable for me!"

"The opportunity is... the Qingyun List three days from now!"

"If you can secure the top spot on the Qingyun List three days from now, then I won’t cancel the engagement with you!"

"Otherwise, don’t blame me!"

"Until then, let’s keep this marriage contract with you," Mu Wanqing said as she stuffed the marriage contract back into Ning Fan’s hands, stepped into her boots, and walked away.
