âYeah, you only care about her feelings.â Nian Xi nodded, feeling indescribably sad. âYouâre ignoring my feelings. Is she your fiancee or am I?â
âHow can you say something like that? Sheâs our mutual friend.â Ji Chuanâs face showed disappointment as well. âNot to mention the fact that she was a victim, too. Didnât she avoid coming home because of your brother? Sheâs been through many hardships out there over the years. You were a soldier too, so you know how hard being a female soldier can be. Why canât you just be more considerate to her?â
âBe more considerate to her? Whoâll be considerate to me, then?â Nian Xi closed her eyes and said, âPull over.â
âStop being unreasonable,â said Ji Chuan.
âI said, pull over,â Nian Xi repeated loudly. âOr Iâll jump.â
Only after hearing that did Ji Chuan slowly stop the car by the roadside. Nian Xi quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
âWeâre getting married soon. Do you have to do this now?â Ji Chuan grabbed her arm. âOnly for Xu Luosang?â
âThis isnât only for Sangsang. This is more for myself.â Nian Xi raised her head. Her eyes had turned slightly red. âJi Chuan, do you love me?â
âWhy would I marry you if I didnât care about you...â
âDo you love me?â Nian Xi interrupted him.
Ji Chuan paused briefly, slightly opened his mouth, but stayed silent for a few seconds.
âAlright, I get it.â Nian Xi threw off his hand, turned, and left.
âXi, what do you know? Come back with me.â Ji Chuan leaned forward and grasped her hand again.
âI know that you wouldnât hesitate at all if you loved me.â Nian Xi freed her own hand from him once again and burst out screaming, âIf you asked me the same question, Iâd give you an answer immediately. What about you? You needed to hesitate, to think. What is your love to me? I think you should think carefully about why youâre marrying me. Are you marrying me because of responsibility or because of guilt?â After saying that, she called a taxi and left.
Feng Ji Chuan stood there watching the taxi leave. His eyes contained a trace of confusion.

Tianhu Villa
Nian Junting walked in with the beef noodles. Seeing him coming back, Sister Lan flinched with a guilty feeling and said, âYoung Master, Sangsang is upstairs.â
Nian Junting went upstairs. The light in the bedroom was on. Luosang was curled up on the couch, playing a game with her phone. She didnât raise her head when he came in.
âIâm back. Why wonât you even look at me?â Nian Junting walked up to her and bent over to look at her face. âWhy didnât you answer my calls? I called you many times. We made a date this morning. I know that youâre on your period, but you could have told me about that. I waited there for half an hour.â
Luosang ignored him but kept playing the game.
âStop playing that.â Nian Junting took away her phone, then took a deep breath and said, âNever mind. Women are always in weird moods during their periods. I donât blame you. Sister Lan says that you donât feel well. Whatâs wrong? Should I call Doctor Han?â
Luosang finally raised her head to look straight at his handsome face. She just couldnât understand why he had sexual dysfunction, and why that illness was so weird that his body only responded to her. Does he like me even a little bit? she wondered.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Nian Junting frowned. âAre you feeling extremely unwell? Canât you even talk? Iâm calling Doctor Han right now.â
âIâm not.â Luosang finally started talking in a tired voice, âDonât call him. I just want a quiet moment.â
âEat some beef noodles then.â Nian Junting put the packed beef noodles on the tea table.
