Qi Zhaoning left.
Chen Ji pondered carefully over what Princess Liyang had said: Qi Zhaoning is willful, and he cannot annul the engagement, but he can force Qi Zhaoning to withdraw.

It would simply result in Chen Ji being ridiculed for a while, but Chen Ji didn't care.

Chen Ji smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you today."
Chen Dong hesitated for a moment: "Then when will you kill..."
