Chapter 10

The director Xiao Yihan mentioned was a good friend of Jian Ansheng’s. Back then, the both of them gave Xiao Yihan a hard time trouble to make sure he would be right for Jian Jianan’s happiness.

The only reason Xiao Yihan told Jian Jianan this was to show her that he was trying his best to impress Jian Ansheng. That way, he would hand Jian Jianan over to him without a shadow of a doubt.

Jian Jianan glanced around and saw his luggage was not very far from them. Ha… it was exactly the same one as the ones in her past life!

In her previous life, she tried to kill herself in order to break from her engagement. Xiao Yihan only returned after two weeks had passed, and she believed his lies like a fool.

If he was really worried about her, he would make the return flight after working hours or at night. However, she only had eyes for Xiao Yihan. She would have believed whatever lies he fed her. Little did she know that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Looking at Jian Jianan’s face devoid of emotion, Xiao Yihan suddenly felt like he did not understand Jian Jianan anymore. Back then, Jian Jianan would have forgiven him when he comforted her like this. ‘Why wasn’t the same tactic not working this time?’

Then again, committing suicide was no a small thing. It was understandable for her to hold a grudge against him.

“Nannan, we can take some time to discuss your engagement with the Gu family. Trust me, I’m already trying my best. I believe that your father will understand how I love and care for you. My sincerity will knock his walls down one day. In this life, you’re my one and only. No one can separate us!”

Jian Jianan felt the urge to chuckle. This lifetime…

Ha, this lifetime. She would never believe him again. In this life, she would make him pay in blood!

She was just about to say something when she caught Qi Xiaorou snooping from the second floor from the corner of her peach blossom eyes. All of a sudden, the words that were about to leave her lips turned into something entirely different. The hardness on her face melted into a sorrow. With her right hand, she threw punches into Xiao Yihan’s chest, “Where were you, then? Do you know how hard it was for me to break this engagement? The pain in my wrist has been keeping me awake every night, but I couldn’t think of any other way. I don’t want to die, I just wanted to use suicide to break the engagement, and you waited until now to come visit. I’m so disappointed in you…” she sobbed.

“Cough cough…”

The punches she landed on Xiao Yihan’s chest looked playful, like Jian Jianan was trying to gain his affection. In actual fact, they were full of hatred. She was focusing all her strength into her fists.

The punches were nothing in comparison to her hatred and rage. How she wished she could shred his bones and carve his heart out.

She wanted to see how black the heart of a person as evil as him could be.

Xiao Yihan coughed a little as he received Jian Jianan’s punches. A hint of disgust and frustration flashed across his eyes as he watched her throw her tantrum. He suppressed his irritation, and he reeled her by her right arm into a hug.

“Nannan, it’s my fault. I made a mistake. In your condition, you shouldn’t be so emotional. You can hit me and scold me when you’ve recovered. It makes me upset to see you like this!”

The way he spoke, he sounded like the perfect man.

Pressed close to Xiao Yihan’s chest, a cold smirk turned up the corner of Jian Jianan’s mouth. She pushed him away violently, and said, “Hmph, don’t think I’ll forgive that easily. You’ve really let me down this time!”

“Okay, okay. Tell me what you want then?”

“I’m hungry. I want to have the most expensive feast of seafood!”

“Of course! Today, you’re the boss. I will satisfy all of your requests!”

“If I said I wanted your life. Will you give it to me?”

Even though Jian Jianan looked like she was being playful and coy, her smile was cold and unnerving. It made Xiao Yihan shiver.

Thinking Jian Jianan was definitely just joking around, Xiao Yihan lowered his head and came close to her. Putting on the warmest smile, he said, “I belong to you now. Naturally, that means my life is in your hands.”

The distance between them was so close Jian Jianan’s heart started to race out of her control. Yet, the faster her heart beat, the pain in her eyes and abdomen swelled as well.
