Chapter 4

Jian Jianan frowned. In her previous life, she recalled that the Gu family agreed to calling off the engagement immediately. The Gu family was reputable; they would never have tolerated her recklessness. Back then, the Gu and Jian family made the same official statements: that the arranged marriage was just a little joke among adults. Now that they were older, the children had their own respective crushes, and thus, the engagement was called off.

After some thought, Jian Jianan firmly said. “Father, I don’t want you to worry about this. Your daughter knows what to do!”

Jian Ansheng amiably pat her on the back. “Nannan, to tell you the truth, I only care about your happiness. Nothing else matters!”

Jian Jianan’s eyes teared up instantly. “Father, I’m sorry… and thank you too…”

If she had not been so reckless in the past, Xiao Yihan might not have killed her father!

“Alright, you should rest. I’ll ask the kitchen staff to cook your favorite mushroom and chicken porridge!”

“Okay!”

“Little Bei, come with me. Let your sister rest for a while!”

“But…”

“Father, it’s fine. I want to stay with him a little longer!”

He nodded with a smile as he watched Jian Huaibei crawl under Jian Jianan’s quilt. “Alright then. However, Nannan, you must let me know if you’re not feeling well!”

“Okay, I will!”

After Jian Ansheng left, Jian Jianan embraced Jian Huaibei’s tiny figure. “Little Bei, your sister missed you so much!” She had a lump in her throat and started to weep again.

Jian Jianan could still remember the winter break when Jian Huaibei passed away. She kept pestering Xiao Yihan to bring her to ski in Harbin. They had barely had enough fun when she received her father’s call telling her that an accident had taken Little Bei away.

Little Bei had a Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIP). The common explanation was that he could not feel pain, even if he was injured. It was exceptionally dangerous, because he would not even notice blood draining from him.

If she was correct, the kindergarten had brought the students sightseeing at the wild animal park. During the trip, Little Bei had gotten off the safari bus and an animal had bitten him. The attempt to resuscitate him had failed, and he lost too much blood before he could get to the hospital.

She hurried back home, but she never got to see his final moments. All she saw was his cold, dead body. There was no pain on his face. Instead, there was a faint smile. In her old life, she regretted this incident the most.

In this new chance at life, she would not let this mishap repeat itself. She could not live with those regrets again.

However, back then, she thought that Little Bei’s death was just a tragic accident. But now, she dared not say if it was really an accident or a disaster engineered by someone else.

Little Bei was a great and obedient boy. Her father and her had always talked to him about safety awareness because of his CIP. Why would he open the door and get off the bus?

In this new life, she must protect her father and Little Bei at all costs. She would not let those bi*ches do whatever they pleased!

“Little Bei is right at sister’s side and sister still misses Little Bei?”

“Yes, I miss… I miss you terribly!”

After a little while, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

“Sister, are you feeling better?”

Jian Jianan’s eyes were filled with spite the moment she saw Qi Xiaorou. Yes, in the past, Qi Xiaorou always kept her company and cared for her whenever she was sick. She would tell Qi Xiaorou anything and everything. She treated her like a younger sister. But, now, she knew Qi Xiaorou had another motive…

‘Qi Xiaorou, don’t you dare try deceiving me this time!’ she thought.

Instead, Jian Jianan replied, with a tender smile, “Yes, I’m feeling better now! Why are you here?”

“You just woke up and you’re still weak, so I brought you your mushroom and chicken porridge! Come, eat it while it’s hot!”

Qi Xiaorou scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Jian Jianan’s mouth. Jian Jianan opened her mouth wide and, just as she was just about to eat, she let out a sudden sneeze. The porridge splattered all over Qi Xiaorou’s face.

“Oh no, Xiaorou, I’m so sorry…“

Jian Huaibei was delighted . “Sister Xiaorou, your face looks so funny!”

Qi Xiaorou glared at Jian Huaibei. She was mad, but a smile graced her face. “Oh don’t worry about it. I’m sure it was unintentional…”

“What if I said it was intentional?”
