"I can't guarantee anything about his actions." Xu Nian was also extremely troubled. In her panic, she had only temporarily relieved Yu Hao's life.

"I don't care, you caused this mess, you have to fix it for me." Yu Hao didn't want to die. He still had the best years of his life ahead of him. He hadn't met a suitable wife yet, and he didn't want to lose his life for nothing because of Xu Nian, this troublemaker.

I wonder who her lover is!

He really has no taste.

There are plenty of good women in the world, why did she have to fall for such a hopeless wretch?

A woman whose appearance and figure are even more delicate than a man's, how can such a woman be a man's support?

Xu Nian noticed a hint of contempt flashing in Yu Hao's eyes from time to time. After putting herself in his shoes, she felt she could understand Yu Hao.

If it were a patriarchal society where women were inferior, and Yu Hao was a woman, it would mean that she would have to marry a man who was good for nothing, lazy, and emotionally inferior yet arrogant.

No one would want to marry someone like that.

"You should hide at my house for now. Once I find a safe place, I'll send you away," Xu Nian said calmly.

She wanted to save Yu Hao's life, that's true, but that doesn't mean she had to fawn over him.

"How long do you want me to hide? Can't you just talk to your lover and clear things up as soon as possible?" Yu Hao said impatiently.

"I can't find him, I can only wait for him to come to me, but the time is unknown." Xu Nian shrugged, there was nothing she could do, but she knew he would come to see her soon.

He couldn't stand her protecting others, and he couldn't stand her threatening him for the sake of others.

"Xu Nian, if I die because of you, I'll haunt you even as a ghost." Yu Hao said angrily, then turned and went into the house to say goodbye to his parents before leaving with Xu Nian.

Yu Hao never gave Xu Nian a kind look the whole way, and she couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Yu Hao's expression softened only after he arrived at the Xu family home and met Xu's father.

“A-Nian, you two aren’t even married yet, how could you bring Yu Hao home without any explanation? What does this do to him?” Xu’s father pulled Xu Nian back to her room and questioned her sternly.

“Father, my engagement with Yu Hao is off. He will be my younger brother from now on. What’s wrong with a younger brother coming to my sister’s house?” Xu Nian said, while subtly observing her father’s expression.

"You unfilial daughter, how could you break off your engagement with Yu Hao without my permission?" Xu's father was so angry that his fingers were trembling.

This ignorant daughter, does she even know how hard-won this marriage was?

Without Yu Hao, where would she find a proper husband given her family's circumstances?
