[Chapter: 2 Adamantly Retire! Refuse to be a licking dog!]

"Miss Yan, you have not paid the bill yet," Lin Yuan said, his voice neutral but his words different from the thoughts running in his mind.

Yan Ruyue was stunned at hearing this. She turned to see both the counter cashier and the waiter staring at her.

"I'm checking out?" Yan Ruyue blurted out, only to realize something was wrong the moment she spoke.

She had invited Lin Yuan, which meant it was her responsibility to pay. But she was used to Lin Yuan rushing to pay for her every time she invited him. This time, however, the reality felt different, and it took her a moment to process.

"Ms. Yan, didn't you invite me? Never mind, I can pay," Lin Yuan said with a shrug. He glanced at Yan Ruyue, his thoughts wandering. He couldn't help but think back to how he had once been the faithful servant to her whims, the original Lin Yuan who would do anything to please her. A pang of regret mixed with a hint of sorrow filled him as he thought about it.

"Okay, I'll pay," Yan Ruyue replied angrily, feeling the heat of irritation creeping up her chest.

She didn't understand why she was so angry. After all, paying for the bill wasn't a big deal. Why did it feel like such a huge issue? She touched her bag, trying to focus, but her expression suddenly changed to one of embarrassment.

Yan Ruyue didn't usually carry cash, and her phone was still in the car. She had forgotten it once again, and now, there was no way out.

Seeing no other choice, she nibbled her red lips before sighing inwardly. Slowly, she opened her mouth, voice quieter, "Lin Yuan…"

"What?" Lin Yuan asked, turning back with a puzzled look as he was ready to leave.

"I didn't bring any cash, can you…?" Yan Ruyue finished her sentence, the awkwardness clear on her face.

"Okay," Lin Yuan responded indifferently.

With that, he paid the bill without further comment and walked out of the coffee shop, feeling a strange detachment from everything around him.

Outside, he saw Yan Ruyue standing beside her Ferrari, her body as elegant as ever, though her face was aloof. Her expression could have been mistaken for indifference, but her beauty still stood out. Her long legs beneath the skirt drew the attention of every passerby, and her figure, perfect in every way, outshone any car model. Her aura seemed to captivate everyone who happened to glance her way.

Yet, Lin Yuan didn't even glance at her. Without a second thought, he walked straight to his Rolls-Royce Phantom, his mind elsewhere.

Yan Ruyue watched him without a word, a twist of unhappiness swirling in her chest. It was as though she had been given roses every day for months, and now, with no warning, they had stopped coming. There was discomfort in her chest at the sudden shift. Why hadn't he even looked at her? Did he really not care anymore?

Annoyed, she walked swiftly to his car, ready to confront him.

But before she could say anything, Lin Yuan's voice cut through the air. "The total is 750. Please remember to transfer the money."

Yan Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, her anger flaring once again. To her, being reminded to pay felt more like an insult than a mere transaction. She was the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Would she really need reminding for a small amount like 750?

"Got it, I'll pay it back!" she snapped, her tone sharp with frustration.

Lin Yuan's strange behavior was not lost on her. He was acting differently today—no longer the submissive man who catered to her every whim. This change in him made her feel something she couldn't quite place, but she knew one thing for sure: he was trying to get her attention. She could tell he was shifting his behavior, but to her, it was just childish.

"So, this is what you think attracts me?" Yan Ruyue said with a slight sneer. "How utterly juvenile."

Lin Yuan's expression grew cold at her words.

It was clear now: if he didn't fawn over her, she assumed he was trying to get her attention. How ridiculous.

This Miss Yan had become so self-righteous, so used to being catered to, that she couldn't even fathom what it was like for someone to stop giving in to her. It was all the fault of the original Lin Yuan for spoiling her so much.

His face hardened, and his voice cut through the tension between them. "Miss Yan, watch your tone. You called me here. You asked for help, and I paid the bill. You seem to be angry because I reminded you to pay me back. If you don't want to, that's fine. It doesn't matter to me."

"But why do you keep scowling at me as if I owe you money?"

Yan Ruyue's anger bubbled over, but she didn't know how to express it. Lin Yuan had done nothing wrong, and she knew that. It was her who was being unreasonable. But deep down, she couldn't help but feel it was all his fault, given how persistent he had been in bothering her.

She sighed, her frustration only growing, and muttered under her breath, "You have a way with words, but I'll never like someone like you."

[Ding! Yan Ruyue has expressed her disgust for you! Please make a choice!]

[Choice 1: Become the embodiment of a simp king and apologize to her. Reward: 'Master Level Martial Arts'!]

[Choice 2: Break off the engagement and refuse to be a submissive dog! Reward: 'God-level Medical Skills'!]

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment. Both rewards were extremely tempting—Master-level martial arts and God-level medical skills. It was a tough decision, but in the end, he knew what he had to choose. Furthermore, he needed medical skills for his actions in the future. He couldn't continue being a lapdog for her.

[Ding! The selection is complete! You will receive 'God-level Medical Skills'! After task completed]

"Then, let's break off the engagement," Lin Yuan said, his voice cold and firm.

"Huh?" Yan Ruyue blinked, completely stunned by his words.

"What did you say?" Her voice wavered, disbelief evident in her tone.

"I said, let's break off the engagement," Lin Yuan repeated, his eyes icy with resolve.

Yan Ruyue stood frozen in place, stunned beyond words. Her first reaction was that Lin Yuan had lost his mind. Did he really mean it?

Yan Ruyue did not see the slightest of emotions in the icy cold eyes of Lin Yuan and was dumbfounded. Her second reaction was that Lin Yuan had taken the wrong medicine.
