Chapter 7: The Past is Past

Lu Jingchen quickly learned about the embarrassing incident involving Wei Zhiming in the military compound.

He also lived in this compound, but in the South District, guarded by sentries, not just anyone could enter.

He knew that Su Anan and Wei Zhiming were engaged.

And all along, Su Anan had always obeyed Wei Zhiming without any rebuttal or questioning.

On his way back home with Su Anan on his bicycle, his mind was in a mess.

“Your… fiancé is Wei Zhiming?” Lu Jingchen was somewhat angry, feeling betrayed by his comrade.

His legs were long, pedaling the Phoenix bicycle, looking perfect.

Su Anan, having achieved her goal, was quite happy. She knew that if she went back and made a scene,

the engagement with Wei Zhiming would definitely be broken off.

Lu Jingchen’s question made her freeze.

There was a small pothole on the road, unavoidable.

The bicycle bumped.

Su Anan subconsciously reached out and pressed against his strong waist, then said, “That ungrateful dog! He’s engaged to me, yet he’s always fawning over my cousin, treating her like a precious treasure. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he was her father!”

Yes, in later generations, men who spoil their daughters act like this.

The problem is, Wei Zhiming isn’t Xia Yuting’s father!

“You know…” Lu Jingchen spoke slowly, “Wei Zhiming and I are comrades in the same regiment.”

“I know now!” Su Anan replied naturally, her small hand around his waist, her face slightly flushed.

She also thought of some R-rated scenes.

Actually, she didn’t care.

At the time, Lu Jingchen stopped her and insisted on taking responsibility. So, she said frankly, “Do you suspect that Wei Zhiming and I conspired against you last night?”

The bicycle stopped.

Lu Jingchen propped one long leg on the ground, seemingly considering how to speak. “No matter what, my promise remains.”

He couldn’t understand it.

What kind of brain circuit could produce such a thing?

Didn’t destroying him also destroy her?

He didn’t think Su Anan was stupid.

“To say we conspired against you, I did have a hand in it,” Su Anan wasn’t dependent on him. It was supposed to be a casual encounter, but he insisted on taking responsibility. Now that they were talking openly, she wouldn’t hide it. “But I didn’t intend to get myself involved.”

As a result, Wei Zhiming not only plotted against Lu Jingchen, but also against Su Anan.

“Okay, I understand!” Lu Jingchen instantly understood. Feeling the warmth of her hand on his waist, he continued, “Once you break off your engagement with Wei Zhiming, I will propose marriage. The past is past.”

It’s better to have it all out in the open.

Su Anan’s frank admission made him look at her with new respect.

Of course, he felt he should also do something about the annulment.

He was principled and followed the rules, but he wouldn’t let himself be taken advantage of.

Returning home, he saw Xia Yuting crying.

Su Dajun and Liu Cuihua’s faces were grim.

“How could you bully your cousin like this?” Liu Cuihua said angrily, glaring at Su Anan. “She’s an orphan, dependent on others. Don’t you know how to be considerate?”

It was as if Su Anan had committed some heinous crime.

“Anan, you’re too inconsiderate. She’s your cousin, you should support each other in the future,” Su Dajun said sternly, maintaining his authority in front of his daughter. “Quickly apologize to Yuting, and don’t mention the money and coupons anymore.”
