When he asked this question, Lu Zhan's face was already full of frost.

He looked at Shao Jingque intently, his mood was extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell what kind of answer he wanted to get by asking this question.

Lu Zhan's eyes were filled with too many emotions, which made Shao Jingque, who was originally looking into his eyes waiting for an answer, feel inexplicably flustered, and for no reason he developed a sense of guilt for abandoning him.

But...but she didn't sleep with him on purpose. At that time, she thought she was having an erotic dream...

Do I have to marry a stranger and spend my whole life with him because of an accident?

Shao Jingque admitted her fault, but she really couldn't make up her mind to make such a major life decision out of guilt. What if she and Yue Feiying found a way to return to modern times soon?

If she really gets married, what choice will she make then?

Shao Jingque thought about it and finally answered:

"Captain Lu, thank you for your kindness. I know you are a responsible and good person, but I...can't marry you."

Although he had guessed the possibility of being rejected in advance, Lu Zhan's face still turned pale for a moment.

Seeing Shao Jingque's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but ask:

"Why? Am I not good enough, or..."

The hurt expression that was revealed inadvertently made Shao Jingque feel a pang of pain in his heart. He secretly cursed himself for being so evil. Look at how badly he had hurt the other person!

She quickly explained:

"You're fine. It's not your fault. It's because... because it was just an accident. No one wanted to happen, and I was more responsible. You don't have to think that I must be responsible for that accident. Your help to me today is enough."

When Lu Zhan heard the word "accident", his heart felt as if it was stabbed by a needle.

He remembered the first question Shao Jingque asked him afterwards, and also remembered her surprised and stunned expression at that time, but he didn't expect that even though they had already made it, Shao Jingque still chose not to accept him.

An accident... something no one wants... These words were like sharp blades scratching back and forth in his heart.

The light in Lu Zhan's eyes dimmed. He felt that he was ridiculous at the moment.

"I see."

He couldn't stay in this room for another second. The faint fragrance he smelled seemed to be burning his self-esteem.

Looking at Lu Zhan's silent back as he left, Shao Jingque inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

She stood there in a daze for a while, and when she turned around, she found Lu Zhan's household registration booklet still on the table. She quickly picked it up and chased after him, but Lu Zhan was nowhere to be seen.

The front desk clerk saw her running down in a hurry and quickly called her:

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!”

Shao Jingque could only stop and didn't know why the front desk clerk called her.

"Sister-in-law, Captain Lu told me to prepare a set of toiletries for you when he left. If you need anything else, please tell me. Don't hesitate."

The front desk clerk took out a washbasin from the counter, which contained a cup of water, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a towel and a small piece of soap, and handed them to Shao Jingque.

"Thank you... I don't need anything else. Thank you for your help."

Shao Jingque took the thing and felt as if the weight of her hand was pressing on her heart, making her feel depressed.

"No trouble, these things were all given to me by Captain Lu. I'll just help get them from the warehouse."

Looking at her, the front desk clerk still had a face full of envy:

"Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to see Captain Lu's iron-blooded and tender side. He's usually so fierce in our regiment headquarters, a notorious cold-faced devil. The soldiers are all afraid of him. I'm afraid they never dreamed that Captain Lu's tenderness was reserved for you, sister-in-law!"

Shao Jingque's ears felt hot after hearing this, and he could only use a smile to hide his embarrassment:

"Haha, really... Well, I haven't finished packing my luggage yet..."

The waiter immediately said sympathetically:

"Sister-in-law, you go ahead and get some work done. Finish packing quickly and get some rest so you can go get your marriage certificate with Captain Lu in the morning looking radiant. Don't forget to give us wedding candy then!"

Shao Jingque smiled awkwardly and ran up the stairs quickly as if running away.

After washing up and lying on the bed, Shao Jingque, who had originally planned to relax and have a good sleep, unexpectedly found that he was completely sleepless. Lu Zhan's figure kept appearing in his mind:

The two of them were entangled in the darkness, passionately. Under the streetlight, he asked with a serious face, his lips occasionally raised, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his back left dejectedly...

She shook her head vigorously and buried it deeply in the pillow, but no matter how she twisted, the cold and upright figure in her mind could not be shaken off.

Shao Jingque, who had been tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, kept comforting herself:

"It's okay, it's okay. I haven't done many bad things in my daily life, so I'm not used to it. But when I do more bad things in the future, I'll get used to it."

"He has such a great figure, it's normal for him to have a photographic memory. It has nothing to do with whether he's lustful or not..."

"After a while, he'll realize how lucky he was to be rejected. With such good conditions, there's no girl he can't find."

…

The next morning, Shao Jingque went downstairs with dark circles under his eyes.

The front desk clerk has been replaced, but it is obvious that when handing over the shift, the predecessor has handed over this shocking piece of news about Captain Lu to the current one.

The current waiter's eyes when he looked at Shao Jingque were not friendly, and he looked at him with a look of scrutiny.

Shao Jingque, who hadn't slept well all night, didn't notice any of this. She was tormented by the lingering images in her mind and the conscience she couldn't get over. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to find Yue Feiying immediately.

She urgently needed enlightenment and strength from Yue Feiying.

From childhood to adulthood, the two of them were as close as one person. They had no secrets from each other and could talk about even the most difficult topics in front of each other.

Shao Jingque firmly believes that Yue Feiying will be able to help her dispel Lu Zhan's "inner demon"!

The front desk clerk saw her walk out the door listlessly and immediately turned around and started chatting with the others:

"Is this the Captain Lu's fiancée Wang Fang was talking about? She has those big dark circles under her eyes and looks unwell. How can she be as pretty as she said?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Captain Lu to be good at everything except picking people!"

"That's right, she's not as pretty as our Xiaoli. What a pity..."

The waitress named Xiaoli behind the door had tears in her eyes and bit her lower lip tightly. She stared at Shao Jingque's back without blinking, and her fingertips had already left deep marks on her palms.

Why is this woman who appeared out of nowhere considered Captain Lu's fiancée?!
