Chapter 18

“What sort of taxi would be willing to fetch Xiaorou like that? I think you should hurry and send her home. She’s been through a lot today!”

In the end, Xiao Yihan sent Xiaorou home. There were a few drops of chicken blood on Jian Jianan. As she was about to go clean up in the washroom, she suddenly noticed a familiar face.

‘Gu Mocheng?!’

‘Isn’t he in the military? Why is he here?’ she thought.

Without his uniform, he was wearing a simple black t-shirt and smooth-cut casual trousers. Maybe it was all his military training, but the shape of his body was impeccable. A simple combination of clothes looked rather fashionable on him.

The most popular international supermodel would be ashamed if he saw Gu Mocheng’s body.

It was like he was glowing. His presence occupied the attention of all the female diners. They stared at him without restraint, like they were going to devour him like food served on a plate.

Suddenly, Gu Mocheng turned towards her direction, and their eyes met. Jian Jianan could feel the distance and iciness in his eyes, perhaps even a hint of disgust!

Jian Jianan picked up her bag and strode towards Gu Mocheng.

When Shen Linfeng saw the beautiful lady approaching them, he nudged Gu Mocheng with his elbow, “Hey, one of the pretty ladies from that commotion is walking over. I think she’s looking at you… Look at you, so popular with the opposite sex. You can’t switch over and turn gay! Wait, why does this woman look so familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere…’

When Gu Mocheng saw the way Jian Jianan limped over, his handsome features turned even colder. ‘This silly woman, why is she still running around when her leg is hurt? Doesn’t she want to keep her right leg?’ he thought.

Jian Jianan stood in front of Gu Mocheng. His gaze shifted from her. She closed in on him and giggled as she said, “Hey, Xiao Chengcheng, I didn’t expect fate had this in store for us. We’d only just met at the military camp just today, and here we meet again tonight!”

“Pffst…” Totally out of character, Shen Linfeng spat out the red wine he had been drinking upon hearing ‘Xiao Chengcheng’.

However, Shen Linfeng’s attention snapped towards the woman standing before him when he heard her mention 'military camp’. He finally came to the realization, with shock on his face, “You’re Jian Jianan?”

“Hello, I’m Jian Jianan, fiancée to Gu Mocheng!”

Jian Jianan purposely added the title to her introduction. Gu Mocheng frowned, “You’re disturbing our meal!”

Seeing Gu Mocheng’s indifferent expression, Jian Jianan scoffed lightly, as if she had been unjustly wronged, “We’d already sealed our love with a kiss - your attitude is really hurting me. Also, you know full well that I sprained my leg because of you. You need to take some responsibility and send me home!”

‘Sealed our love with a kiss!!!’

Shen Linfeng stared at Gu Mocheng with great shock. He regretted that he was not there to witness that. Gu Mocheng was a total germaphobe. Even his childhood friends that grew up with him could not even go near him, let alone other people. In their early years, his germaphobia was much more extreme. It only improved since he entered the military, but it was still quite serious.

He never expected him to kiss someone!

Even more so, a woman!

A woman who attempted suicide just to break off their engagement!

Gu Mocheng did not expect Jian Jianan to be so stubborn. Had she not made a scene in the military camp, he would not have to deal with this aftermath with his family right now.

How dare she blame this on him!

When he was about to speak, Shen Linfeng passed Jian Jianan a full glass of red wine and said, “Ms. Jian, if you finish this right now, we’ll send you home. Deal?”

Jian Jianan’s suicide attempt was the talk of the town these days. Gu Mocheng and the Gu family had also been the joke in public gossip.

Even though Gu Mocheng was fine with it, and the Gu family had not mentioned anything to the Jian family, but as Shen Linfeng’s best friend, he did not want to see his brother suffer.

Shen Linfeng already had plans for Jian Jianan, and yet here she was, offering herself to him!

Shen Linfeng wanted her to pay for making his brother suffer!

“Ms. Jian, this is a 1982 Château Lafite-Rothschild. I wouldn't allow just anyone even a sip, but you’re a special one!”
