Chapter 14: Wait For Me To Pick You Up

Each of them held a marriage certificate, and even Lu Jingchen felt it was surreal.

“Let’s go eat,” Lu Jingchen said, his heart full of sweetness, a sense of satisfaction washing over him at that moment.

Su Anan naturally didn’t object. Thinking of the tragic fate of the original owner and Lu Jingchen in her previous life, a sigh escaped her lips.

In this life, she would change everything.

In her past life, the original owner was blind and foolish, wholeheartedly supporting Wei Zhiming, paving the way for him, ultimately causing Lu Jingchen immense suffering, until she herself met a tragic end.

She wondered what her state of mind was like at the moment of her death…

The two went to the state-run restaurant together.

Because of Lu Jingchen’s military uniform, no one dared to give him a hard time wherever they went.

They had a very pleasant meal.

“Eat more meat, you’re too thin,” Lu Jingchen kept serving Su Anan braised pork and stir-fried meat.

He had enough food coupons and ordered four meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and two bowls of rice.

He had no other intentions; he just thought Su Anan was too thin and needed to be properly nourished.

Su Anan, accustomed to rich food in the modern era, hadn’t had many filling meals since arriving here.

Su Dajun and Feng Cuihua had always been very frugal.

They saved all their money for Xia Yuting.

Including the money left by the original owner’s parents.

Su Anan ate elegantly, also picking food for Lu Jingchen: “En, don’t worry, I’ll gradually gain weight once I leave the Su family.”

“You’re their biological daughter, right?” Lu Jingchen raised an eyebrow, truly puzzled. “How could they be so good to a niece? Haven’t you ever suspected anything?”

His doubts ran deep.

Especially after witnessing that scene earlier.

He felt truly uneasy.

“En, I suspected,” Su Anan said nonchalantly, “But there was nothing I could find.”

Of course, she now intended to push the Su family to their ruin, as well as Xia Yuting and Wei Zhiming.

Then, she would reclaim the jade pendant from Xia Yuting’s neck.

In the original text.

The original owner committed suicide by jumping into a well early on.

Xia Yuting, with that jade pendant, became the darling of the biggest entrepreneur in Shanghai.

It also gave her life a new turning point, propelling her to great heights. She became a winner in life.

Su Anan, not being the original owner, wasn’t fixated on claiming kinship.

But she couldn’t let Xia Yuting, that wretched woman, get away with it.

Lu Jingchen looked at her delicate eyebrows and casual demeanor, unsure how to respond.

Did she really not care?

If it were him, he would care.

Leaving the state-run restaurant, Lu Jingchen bought a ceramic bowl and packed two dishes and a portion of rice.

The Su family was in chaos; Su Dajun and his wife were probably still at the hospital.

“You…aren’t angry about me scheming against you back then? And you’re still so good to me?” Arriving at the doorstep and hopping off the bicycle, Su Anan tugged on Lu Jingchen’s sleeve and asked.

After spending time together, she also felt that Lu Jingchen possessed numerous virtues.

He had a strong sense of justice!

Lu Jingchen looked at her eyes, like a pool of autumn water, his heart quickening, subconsciously averting his gaze: “I was angry at the time, but now…”

“Now you’re not angry, right? You said it, you’re not angry!” Su Anan grabbed his sleeve, speaking somewhat domineeringly.

Her eyes shimmered like the stars and sea, brilliantly shining.

At this moment, Lu Jingchen didn’t know how to answer.

He truly wasn’t angry anymore.

Because Su Anan was honest.

Seeing his hesitation, Su Anan pursed her lips; it seemed that acting cute wouldn’t work.

Just as she was thinking of a way to make him relent, a large hand enveloped her small head, then pulled her into his embrace.

Lu Jingchen felt he couldn’t resist this little girl.

He surrendered, saying: “I’m not angry, I’m not angry anymore!”

The scent at his nose made Su Anan’s heart flutter; he smelled faintly of flowers and fruit.

It must be tulip soap.

She subconsciously sniffed, then wrapped her arms around his waist: “That’s more like it. Alright, you should be heading back to the army, Wei Zhiming won’t be back for a few days, you should seize this opportunity.”

That Wei Zhiming bastard wants a promotion to battalion commander, huh, he can dream on.

She would ensure Wei Zhiming could never rise again.

“Okay.” Lu Jingchen was reluctant, but afraid of being seen, he slowly let go, “Wait for me to pick you up.”
