In the ward, Jiang Yi'an had finished breakfast and was taking the trash out to throw away when her cell phone rang.

Because she was still holding something in her hand, she didn't have time to see who was calling, so she turned the phone on speakerphone and answered it.

"An'an."

A low-pitched male voice came from the other end of the phone: "I may...not be able to terminate the engagement."

Jiang Yian was stunned for a moment before realizing that this might actually be a call from Gu Qingze.

She quickly threw the trash into the trash can, and then glanced at the note on the screen of her phone in disbelief.

It’s really Gu Qingze!

She was startled: "What's wrong with your voice?"

She met Gu Qingze for dinner last night. His voice was quite normal last night. Why did his voice become so hoarse this night?

"It's nothing. I've been busy all night and I'm a little tired."

The man's voice on the other end of the phone was full of fatigue: "The thing I least wanted to see... still happened."

Gu Qingze sighed: "There was an accident last night. People from the Lin family have arrived in Rongcheng to take the eldest lady of the Lin family back."

"I followed them back to Haicheng...early this morning, the elders of the Lin family talked to me..."

"If I terminate my engagement with the Lin family at this time... the consequences will be serious."

As the man spoke, he seemed to bury his head under the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "An An, I really... don't want to accept this marriage."

"But as the heir of a big family, I really have too many choices..."

Jiang Yi'an pursed her lips and pinched her cell phone. As she walked from the garbage dump on the floor to the ward, she sighed lightly: "Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory. This is normal."

"If you really can't bear the consequences of breaking off your engagement with the eldest daughter of the Lin family, then just accept it."

"Maybe this eldest lady of the Lin family is not as bad as you think."

Gu Qingze said nothing.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his lips and smiled bitterly: "If you had met this Miss Lin, you might not be able to say such words of comfort to me."

"I still don't want to marry her, so the engagement matter... can be postponed for one day."

"Now that the Lin family has just met her, the whole family is excited and happy. Maybe it is not appropriate for me to terminate the engagement at this time."

"Maybe after a while, I can really achieve something in my career... The Gu family no longer has to rely on the Lin family for help, and I can really have the courage to break with the Lin family."

Listening to the man's painful voice, Jiang Yian didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only comfort him softly: "Well, just do what you want."

"I trust you to say everything is taken care of."

Gu Qingze smiled bitterly, his voice hoarse than before: "It's just An An, I can't go back to chase you as promised."

"You... don't have to wait for me anymore."

Jiang Yian's hand holding the phone suddenly paused and almost laughed.

Since when had she waited for him?

She never expected Gu Qingze to chase her, okay?

However, at the moment, Gu Qingze was sad and in a bad mood. She didn't want to hurt him, so she could only smile lightly: "It doesn't matter. You can resolve your affairs first and then consider whether to come back and chase me."

"it is good……"

Before Gu Qingze finished speaking, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, seemingly shouting the word "Qingze".

"An'an, let's talk next time. Mrs. Lin is looking for me."

After Gu Qingze responded on the other end of the phone, he said goodbye to Jiang Yi'an and hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping busy tone on the phone, Jiang Yian frowned slightly.

For some reason, the voice of Mrs. Lin on Gu Qingze's phone just now... seemed familiar.

It would inexplicably remind her of Grandma Jiang who passed away five years ago.

The woman sighed and put her phone away.

She might miss Grandma Jiang too much.

"You just said you were waiting for Gu Qingze to chase you?"

Just when Jiang Yian put down his cell phone in melancholy, a low and cold male voice sounded from the door of the ward.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised her head and followed the sound.

A tall man in black clothes was leaning against the door frame of the ward, looking at her with cold eyes: "After you married me, not only did you get involved with your Si Hang, but you also tried every means to get close to my brother. .”

"Now you're waiting for Gu Qingze to come back and chase you?"

Mo Beixiao put his hands in his pockets and looked at Jiang Yi'an condescendingly, his eyes filled with contempt and indifference: "Do you like the feeling of being surrounded by men so much?"

Jiang Yi'an frowned and instinctively wanted to refute him.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

She and he were nothing but husband and wife on the marriage certificate.

There was no need to explain so much to him, he was not hers.

Seeing that she didn't answer or argue, Mo Beixiao's brows furrowed: "Why don't you say something?"

Jiang Yi'an shrugged: "I don't want to say it."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Beixiao: "Mr. Mo came here early in the morning to see me for something?"

He didn't come here with chicken soup today, obviously it wasn't arranged by Grandpa Mo.

The man walked in, sat down on a chair nearby, crossed his legs elegantly, and stared at Jiang Yi'an's face with a pair of hawk-like eyes: "You can't come if you have nothing to do?"

His eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything made Jiang Yian feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

She frowned, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers: "Did you rest in Mo's house at night after sending Xiaozhou and Mianmian back last night?"

Mo Beixiao glanced at her lightly and nodded: "Yes."

"That……"

The woman raised her head and looked at him: "Jiang Chengzong was at Mo's house last night... didn't he cause any trouble?"

The child looked just like his mother, Chu Xiaojuan, not a fuel-efficient lamp.

She originally planned to take Jiang Chengzong to Jiang Muming and Chu Xiaojuan today.

But now something happened to Jiang Sinuo and Ding Fangzhi. Jiang Muming should drag his injured body to help them prepare for their funerals in the past few days.

She seemed unable to send Jiang Chengfan back for a while.

"No."

Mo Beixiao smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to fiddle with his phone: "But he was bullied a bit badly by Xiaozhou and Mianmian."

Jiang Yian was stunned for a moment and his eyes widened: "Xiaozhou and Mianmian bullied him?"

"It can't be considered bullying."

Mo Beixiao raised his eyes and looked at her: "Jiang Chengzong is your brother, Mianmian's uncle, and Xiaozhou's uncle."

"The two little guys first complimented him and made him feel that he was a very respected elder. Then they asked him to cook for them and help them solve problems..."

"The questions asked by Xiaozhou and Mianmian made their little uncle cry."
