Chapter 5

Qi Xiaorou was dumbfounded. Her eyes met Jian Jianan’s ice-cold eyes. “Sister, what do you mean?”

“Nothing, I was just joking! Why are you so nervous!”

Qi Xiaorou was confused by Jian Jianan’s sudden coldness. ‘Damn it! Does she know about her and Yihan?’

‘No… that was impossible. They were doing a brilliant job hiding their secret. No one could possibly know. Moreover, Jian Jianan had slit her wrist just for Yihan and has not stepped out of the room since. How could she even begin to doubt her? She has to stay calm.’

“Oh, by the way, sister, I just heard father mention you don’t want to call off the engagement with the Gu family? Is that true?”

“It is!”

“Sister, but why? Brother Xiao has been waiting for you. Not to mention that you two are so deeply in love with each other. Why did you suddenly decide not to break off the engagement?”

‘Deeply in love with each other? Haha… it’s always just been with her right?’

Now, Qi Xiaorou was here trying to convince her to not call off the engagement. Jian Jianan knew her true motives.

Qi Xiaorou wanted her to be with Xiao Yihan so that after Xiao Yihan had gained her and her father’s trust, they could kill her and her father and revel in all of the Jian family’s possessions!

“I figured Xiao Yihan would be here by my side after I was injured. Have you also noticed that Xiao Yihan has never visited me once ever since my incident? So tell me, why should I give up on a fabulously wealthy family for a poor doctor?”

“It is not that Xiao Yihan doesn’t want to visit you. He was recently transferred to a neighboring province for a medical consultation!”

Jian Jianan glared at her coldly. “Oh? Is that right? You seem to know more about his whereabouts than I do!”

She was stunned. Qi Xiaorou felt like she was being tricked. Jian Jianan had made a dramatic change!

“Sister, I just hoped that you wouldn’t give up on him. I’ve seen you two work so hard and so long to be together!”

“That’s enough! Who I want to marry is my business. You can leave.”

Qi Xiaorou’s mouth tried to form words, wanting to say something. Instead, she just nodded her head. “Okay, please rest well. I will come by to check on you later!”

Once Qi Xiaorou closed the door, the smile on Jian Jianan’s face disappeared.

Qi Xiaorou was still, as usual, a hypocrite!

“Little Bei, do you like Qi Xiaorou?”

“I do! Sister Xiaorou is so gentle!”

Jian Jianan frowned.

“However, I like sister Nannan the most!” Jian Huaibei pecked Jian Jianan on her check.

“You’re lucky you’re smart enough to know that!”

A coldness glazed Jian Jianan’s eyes when she remembered her past life.

After a week of rest at home, Jian Jianan asked Jian Ansheng for Gu Mocheng’s contact details, remembering that she still had to deal with the relationship between the Jian and Gu families. However, the refusal to pick up and abrupt silences on the other line was more than frustrating.

The messages she sent to him were undelivered. There was no news and no reply.

Jian Jianan knew Gu Mocheng was determined to call off the engagement, and so she decided to meet up with Gu Mocheng to talk things over.

However, at that time, Gu Mocheng was in the army.

Jian Jianan had never met Gu Mocheng before, in both her lives. However, from the one time she had seen him in a photograph, Jian Jianan could recognize Gu Mocheng.

In that photo, Gu Mocheng wore a camouflage uniform. He had buzz-cut hair and stood with an upright posture and a stern look on his face. He resembled a plank of wood.

In her previous life, Jian Jianan wanted to break off the engagement as soon as she saw the photo. It was not that Gu Mocheng’s was average-looking. She had never wanted to marry a soldier. She felt that being an army wife was full of pity; they spent their time alone in constant fear of becoming a widow. On top of that, the man she loved was Xiao Yihan. She loved him passionately and thought a gentleman like Xiao Yihan was a more suitable husband. Because of that, she went to extreme lengths to end the engagement with Gu’s family.

Thinking of it now, she realized how much of a fool she had been back then.

Once she reached the entrance to the military camp, she got out of the car and asked her driver to leave.

“Young Lady, how will you be going back?”
