But even if she thought so, Ning Wan would never let Shen Jingwen leave.
She and Zhou Wenhuai set out at chenshi (8:00 a.m.) and climbed the mountain for two hours. Afterward, she waited at the same spot for another two or three hours. By now, it was almost sunset, and the people who had passed by had already left. (chenshi: 8:00 a.m.)
Furthermore, Ning Wan was walking along a small path, so it was impossible for her to suddenly roll onto the main road. Therefore, Shen Jingwen was most likely the only living person she met today.
Seeing that Shen Jingwen was about to leave, Ning Wan used all her strength to pull the hem of Shen Jingwen's old robe. She wanted to ask the man in front of her to save her, but the next moment, a sound of cloth tearing was heard in the silent mountain road.
Ning Wan could clearly feel the air around her getting a bit colder. She looked at the palm-sized piece of cloth in her palm in surprise, her breath stagnating.
It’s over, this time I really offended someone.
She didn't even have the courage to look up at the person in front of her. She looked at the hand that had already escaped from Shen Jingwen's arm. She didn't know whether to retract it or not, but she was afraid of causing more trouble if she continued to pull.
Xiao Qi, who was watching this scene in the space, turned his head silently: Who would have thought that the male protagonist's fabric was so fragile, this does not fit the male protagonist's setting at all!
Shen Jingwen was only two years older than Ning Wan at this time. Looking at the cloth in Ning Wan's hand and then at the torn hem, his mood was naturally not very good.
He bent down again, but still had no intention of saving Ning Wan. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Judging from the clothes she was wearing, she must be from a wealthy family or a prominent family.
Especially that appearance, even without saying a word, it makes people feel pity for her.
This kind of girl is definitely not the daughter of an ordinary family. I believe it won't be long before her family members realize something is wrong and come out to look for her. If they see the two of them together at that time, he is afraid that he will be implicated, for example, being misunderstood as a thief and sent to the authorities.
If she met a wealthy family, they might even kill him to save her reputation.
Thinking of this, he reached out and grabbed Ning Wan's wrist, trying to pry her fingers apart, then took away the cloth to destroy the evidence of their meeting.
Ning Wan could see what Shen Jingwen was thinking. Although she wanted to tighten her grip, she couldn't resist his great strength. Seeing that things were beginning to develop in an unpredictable direction, she had to think of other ways.
"I am the only daughter of the Ning family. If you save me, I can give you a lot of rewards."
Ning Wan's voice had long been hoarse, weak, and her lips were pale. If she hadn't known that the man in front of her would really abandon her, she would have fainted long ago.
However, Shen Jingwen was only frozen for a moment, and then he took back the material in the blink of an eye before she could come to her senses.
Shen Jingwen: "No need..."
"Save me, I'm very rich, you can have whatever you want."
Ning Wan didn't expect too much. It was perfectly normal for the male protagonist not to bow down to money. And just as she expected, Shen Jingwen wasn't tempted and even planned to leave.
[Host, are you sure? ]
"It's certain and certain. It doesn't matter whether I'm found dead or not. What matters is that my body will be left in the wilderness without my help."
[Random command is being used once: Please confirm the command target and content again.
Command target: The male protagonist of the current plane: Shen Jingwen.
Command content: Rescue the host. (Note: Both the user and the user of this skill will retain their memories. Please be aware of this.)
After issuing the order, Ning Wan could no longer endure and fell into a coma. As Shen Jinggu was about to leave, Ning Wan's words "Save me" echoed in his mind.
…
After coming to her senses, Ning Wan couldn't help but clear her throat.
In a flash, the door was pushed open from the outside. Chunqin placed the tea tray on the table, while Luzhu hurried to the main room. "The young lady has woken up. Go tell the master, the young lady has woken up..."
Inside the room, Chunqin hurried to Ning Wan's bedside, helped her up, and took a pillow from the side, placing it under her waist. "Miss, are you feeling better?"
Ning Wan was only wearing a single piece of clothing at this time, and her exposed skin was still covered with large and small, blue and purple marks.
Her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, her slightly long eyelashes trembled, and her breathing was slightly heavy, as if she was thankful to have survived the disaster.
Chunqin felt very distressed when she saw Ning Wan lying weakly on the bed. Then she thought about the engagement and didn't know whether she should speak up or not.
She and Luzhu both saw the young lady's feelings for the young master of the Zhou family.
Although the master and the one from the Zhou family have often competed for business in recent years, it has never affected the young lady and the young master of the Zhou family.
But this time, the young master of the Zhou family asked the young lady out, and then designed to get rid of her and Luzhu, and asked the servant to deceive the two of them, saying that he had taken the young lady back, but in fact he left the young lady alone in the mountains, causing the young lady to fall into the mountains.
This move is really disheartening...
"Haruko, I want some water."
Ning Wan looked at Chunqin, whose expression was extremely grim, but she didn't want her to notice anything was wrong. She sighed and said slowly, "Marriage has always been the decision of parents and matchmakers. There's nothing to regret."
Chunqin poured the tea very quickly. Just as she was about to pass the tea over, she heard Ning Wan's next words. Her hand trembled slightly, and some tea splashed out.
She could not hide her sadness, she just quickly took the cup of tea to the window and poured it out, then took a breath of fresh air, turned around and went to the table again, poured another cup of new tea, and walked to the bed.
Ning Wan looked at Chunqin, whose eyes were red, and couldn't help but laugh. After taking the teacup from her hand and taking a sip, she finally came to life again. "What's wrong? Did father blame you and fine you your monthly salary?"
"Miss!"
"Chunqin simply felt that the scholar was unworthy of the young lady, and that the young lady had no feelings for him. The master took advantage of the young lady's coma to arrange a marriage with the scholar in return for saving her life. This was truly unfair to the young lady."
Chunqin took the cup from Ning Wan's hand, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally told him the reason.
Ning Wan didn't get angry after hearing this, but simply asked cooperatively, "Then what should we do according to your opinion?"
Chunqin thought for a moment and then expressed her truest thoughts: "Since he is a scholar, we should just give him money to help him study. There is no need to sacrifice the young lady's lifelong happiness to repay his kindness."
