He couldn't help but regret his stupidity. He hadn't known his grandmother had chosen Zhang Xinglian. But after returning from his mission, he didn't address the matter publicly. At the time, he figured no one would marry him, so he could just privately ask Zhang Xinglian to break off the engagement. Most importantly, he thought he could get rid of Zhang Xingrong.
But unexpectedly, he fell in love with Zhang Xingrong.
No matter how you look at it, this matter is his fault, but some things still need to be made clear.
"My engagement to Zhang Xinglian wasn't my decision. I was on a mission at the time and had no idea about it. At the time, I didn't want to marry anyone."
"Really? You don't want to get married? You've been engaged for almost half a year, and you've been on missions the whole time? Later, when you came back, you didn't cancel the engagement, right? Men like to say one thing and do another." Zhang Xingrong's mouth was full of disdain.
Seeing that she was getting angrier and angrier, Lu Ran became even more anxious. "I've really been on missions for the past six months. Two missions in a row, and an escort mission. I've been abroad for several months! Do you remember the day you fainted? It was the day we met again. I had just returned two days ago!"
Zhang Xingrong recalled that time and she was almost bullied by Liu Ergou.
"Not even two days? You didn't break off the engagement afterwards. After all this time, you're breaking off the engagement? You're trying to use this to force me to back off. You think if you and Zhang Xinglian break off the engagement, I'll stop pestering you, right?"
“…”
She is really smart and there is no way to hide it from her.
"Yes," he admitted obediently, "I wasn't in a rush to deal with it publicly at the time, but I thought about bringing it up privately with Zhang Xinglian first."
"hehe."
"I'm not lying to you. We have to do all sorts of reports in the next few days after we get back, except for the zipper. But once the reports are finished, I'll be on vacation, and I want to wait until I'm on vacation to deal with the cancellation of the engagement."
"And wait for me to completely give up? Why did you come to Lugou Village on your vacation? If you hadn't come to Lugou Village, I would have given up by then."
"...I didn't know you were living such a hard life in the Zhang family. I saw you taking your brother to Lugou Village, and I heard it was very difficult there, so I went there. Actually, I was very interested in you at that time, but I didn't know it myself."
"Haha!" Zhang Xingrong only wanted to think of two words: him or her.
She was so stupid before, running to the camp to look for Lu Ran every day. She also knew that Lu Ran often went on missions just to avoid seeing her, fearing that she would pester him.
Thinking of all the stupid things she had done for this man, she felt so resentful that she turned and glared at him: "If you hate me so much, why are you still looking for me here? Get out of here right now. I don't want to see you at all!"
“…”
Why did she get angrier the more he talked about it? But this matter was between the two of them, and they had to face it sooner or later. He couldn't back down.
"I don't hate you. I want to see you every day and stay with you."
"But I don't want to see you now. Seeing you makes me annoyed!"
Lu Ran suddenly felt aggrieved and looked at Zhang Xingrong: "What should I do so that you won't stop annoying me?"
He remembered that when he didn't like Zhang Xingrong before, he felt annoyed when he saw her. Now he was afraid that Zhang Xingrong would be like this too.
"Get away, don't follow me, don't let me see you." She had guessed the truth, but she still felt uncomfortable when she heard it with her own ears.
Lu Ran shook his head: "No, except telling me to get out, you can ask me to do anything."
Zhang Xingrong laughed angrily: "Stay away from me and don't bother me!"
Lu Ran didn't dare to say anything and followed behind obediently with a look of grievance on his face.
