Chapter 1: Breaking off the Engagement
"Pei Yanzhou, do you really want to break off your engagement with me?"
The bright-looking girl looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
The fiancé who had said to her "We will be together for the rest of our lives" three days ago was now holding another woman in his arms.
The man, full of pride, was unwilling to meet her gaze and turned away and said indifferently:
"There has always been only Yan'er in my heart. I was just being polite to you because my grandmother forced me to do so."
"Now that my grandmother has passed away, our engagement should be annulled."
He squeezed Chu Ruyan’s hand, his eyes full of love, but when he turned to look at Ana Shen, his eyes were cold again.
"Fake it?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Shen Yuning's eyes. She sneered, "Then what you once said, 'Three thousand rivers, I only take one scoop', 'I will only love you in this life', were all lies too?"
When talking about the past, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Pei Yanzhou's handsome face. He said in a deep voice:
"It was because of my grandmother's illness that I pretended to be engaged to you and said those nonsense."
"Actually, the woman I've always loved is Yan'er. Back then, when I was trapped in Tiger Roar Mountain, she risked her life to save me. The bond between us... you wouldn't understand."
"So you betrayed me a long time ago?" Shen Yunning's lips curled up in sarcasm: "Pei Yanzhou, the son of a noble family and general of the Xuanjia Camp, is actually the kind of person who plays with women's emotions?"
"We're getting married next month, and we've even sent out the invitations...Wouldn't it bother you to cancel the engagement now?"
Pei Yanzhou frowned when he heard this, as if he didn't want to face it. But Chu Ruyan, who was hiding in his arms at this moment, couldn't help but:
"What's betrayal? The person who is not loved is the third party."
She gave Shen Yuning a victorious smile, "I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. My status is equal to that of the Pei family. I will be helpful to Brother Yanzhou in the court in the future. And you?"
"She is the daughter of the former Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital. Her family was once prominent... but unfortunately, Lord Shen passed away young, and the Shen family has long since declined. Do you think she is still worthy of Brother Yanzhou now?"
"If I were you, I would have already..."
"Shut up." Shen Yuning interrupted her directly: "We are married by the emperor, and we are following his order. Who allowed you to confuse right and wrong here?"
A sharp look appeared on her face, and she pulled Chu Ruyan out of Pei Yanzhou's arms like a chicken.
"Pei Yanzhou and I haven't broken off our engagement yet. I'm still his fiancée, so I won't allow you to hug and kiss in front of me."
Meeting Pei Yanzhou's gaze, Shen Yuning exerted a little force with her palm and threw his cigarette directly to the ground.
"Ah, it hurts, Brother Yanzhou, save me——"
Chu Ruyan cried out loudly, her voice soft and gentle.
“Shen Yuning!”
Pei Yanzhou quickly helped Chu Ruyan up and said sternly, "Yan'er is not in good health. She is not a military doctor like you who fights and kills. How can you treat her like this?"
He rubbed Chu Ruyan's wrist with concern and asked softly: "Does it hurt? Is your wrist bone dislocated? Is it uncomfortable?"
"No, it doesn't hurt much, but I'm scared..." Chu Ruyan shook her head aggrievedly, but tears fell down, which made Pei Yanzhou feel even more pity for her.
Shen Yuning turned her back and stopped looking at them.
Tears welled up in her eyes like a flood, but she forced them back.
Three years after their engagement, although he had made solemn vows to her, he always kept three steps away from her. How could there be such deep affection between them?
"Pei Yanzhou, let her go first. Today's matter is between you and me. I don't want outsiders to get involved."
The fierceness on Shen Yuning's face remained unchanged, but she calmed down.
She just wants to solve the problem quickly.
Seeing the hesitation on Pei Yanzhou's face, she said again:
"I have a bad temper. I don't know what bad things I will do when I get too angry."
"If you don't want your sweetheart to be hurt by me, kick her out now."
"I won't leave!"
Chu Ruyan's face was filled with anger, and she loudly retorted:
"Brother Yanzhou, why is she so arrogant? Is it just because of her fancy martial arts?"
"How could I, the daughter of the prime minister, be afraid of her?"
"Click", a crisp sound.
Shen Yuning crushed the teacup in her hand expressionlessly.
Chu Ruyan retreated obediently.
"Brother Yanzhou, remember to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me later. I'll be waiting for you at home." Before leaving, she still did not forget to declare her sovereignty.
"Okay, I will. Be obedient. Go back and wait for me." Pei Yanzhou nodded in response, his eyes full of tenderness.
Shen Yuning felt extremely ironic. She was still standing here, but her fiancé was already asking about other people's well-being.
It turns out that a man's sincerity is the last thing worth expecting. No matter how upright, brave and brilliant a man is, he can change at any time.
"Bang".
The door closed in response, instantly bringing Ana Shen back to her thoughts.
She and Pei Yanzhou were the only ones left in the tent.
A quiet room with no one else around.
In the past, she would have been so nervous that she would have been unable to sit still and would not have dared to look him in the eye.
But now...why does she still care about those reserved things?
"Pei Yanzhou——"
Ana Shen suddenly stood up, grabbed his wrist fiercely, and pressed him directly into the corner.
"Pei Yanzhou, do you like women like Chu Ruyan?" Her voice was gentle, but her face was full of sharpness.
Pei Yanzhou felt his scalp tingling as the distance suddenly got closer.
After being engaged for so long, this is the first time she has been so close to me.
"call--"
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan from his throat.
This was the first time he could so clearly feel her warm breath, and... the ups and downs that he dared not look directly at.
Pei Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, and even forgot what the situation was at the moment, and also forgot that he should push her away immediately.
"Pei Yanzhou, do you like women dressing like this?"
The questioning voice sounded again, a cold light rose in Ana Shen's eyes, but her hand suddenly reached for her collar.
“Wow—”
The girl's face was bright and bold. When her eyes deepened, her jade-like neck immediately appeared.
white.
It is dazzling white.
It was as smooth as cream and almost more beautiful than the most precious gem in the world.
Pei Yanzhou only took one look and felt his blood boiling and his whole body tense up.
It was as if his eyes were burned by the scorching sun at noon, his Adam's apple rolled and his mouth became dry.
“Chen…Chen Yuning, what…are you going to do?”
How could a young man who was inexperienced and full of vigor face such a scene?
"Pei Yanzhou, what Chu Ruyan has, I also have..."
"Stop liking her, okay?"
Her voice was soft, but there was no ambiguity in her expression.
"Don't break off the engagement, okay? I'll be gentler with you from now on."
Her voice became softer and hoarse, sounding very soft, but without any hint of coquettishness.
However, her stunning face was simply too beautiful.
She is so beautiful that as long as her attitude softens a little, she will immediately become charming and beautiful.
Pei Yanzhou's heart trembled, and he gently pushed the person out with his big hand, but... he didn't move.
The general commander of hundreds of thousands of Xuanjia Guards, the son of Wu'an Hou and the emperor's nephew, had seen all kinds of big scenes, but at this moment he was helpless:
“Shen, Shen Yuning, you… need to be sensible.”
"A female military doctor actually...tugged at her general in the tent."
"You...you let me go first and put your clothes in order..."
He turned his head away, not daring to look at her anymore, his handsome face flushed red as if blood was dripping from it.
