Gu Youlan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the useless sister hadnât seen it.
Gu Youlan displayed her signature innocent smile, "Hereâs the thing, I heard the wild chrysanthemums here were blooming, so I came to take a look. Who would have thought Iâd run into Brother Qiang?"
"Is that so? Quite a coincidence!" Nianyang smirked slightly, "But sis, why is your shirt unbuttoned, and I think I just saw you in my fiancĂ©âs arms."
Gu Youlan hastily fastened her collar, "I accidentally fell just now, thank goodness Brother Qiang helped me up. Yangyang, donât overthink it."
Zhang Zhiqiang snapped back to his senses, "Thatâs right, thatâs just what happened."
Even though he didnât think much of Nianyang, he was still her fiancĂ© in name. If his secret affair with Gu Youlan were uncovered, his reputation would be ruined.
"Brother Qiang, thank you for just now." Gu Youlan said shyly and timidly.
"Itâs nothing, as long as youâre okay." Zhang Zhiqiang said affectionately.
Nianyang smirked sarcastically, wondering how blind she must have been in her past life not to see that these two were already secretly involved.
In the past life, Gu Youlan, to cover her crime of seducing her brother-in-law, drugged the original host and sent her to the hut of a violent old widow in the neighboring village, leading to her disgrace. She was forced to marry the old widow, ultimately tortured to death, while they lived in harmony with everyoneâs blessings.
Recalling the past, the glint in Nianyangâs eyes was somewhat eerie, making Gu Youlan and Zhang Zhiqiang shiver.
"Whatâs wrong, Yangyang? Donât you believe what your sister said?" Gu Youlan bit her lip and put on a pitiful look.
Zhang Zhiqiangâs heart ached, and he rebuked Nianyang, "Gu Nianyang, what kind of attitude is that? Apologize to your sister right away!"
Nianyang couldnât help but laugh, "Apologize? What did I do wrong?"
Zhang Zhiqiang said painfully, "Didnât you see your sister fell? You donât care for her and dare to question her? Shouldnât you apologize?"
"Itâs okay, Brother Qiang, my sister is just willful; Iâm used to it." Gu Youlan played the role of a tolerant and gentle sister forgivingly.
Nianyangâs view of this shameless couple was utterly refreshed, "Please, get this straight: weâre in a secluded grove, with my sister and my fiancĂ© alone here. Shouldnât I have questions?"
Zhang Zhiqiang and Gu Youlanâs faces changed simultaneously, then Zhang Zhiqiang accused, "Wasnât it explained as a coincidence? Why go on and on about it? Gu Nianyang, let me tell you, I like obedient women. If youâre going to marry me, the first thing you should do is talk less and do more, or else I wonât marry you!"
"No, Brother Zhiqiang, donât be angry. I said something wrong. I was just worried you were messing with my sister because sheâs prettier and more gentle than me. All men love to cheat..." Nianyang put on an expression of fear of being abandoned by Zhang Zhiqiang, though she felt like throwing up. Not to mention Zhang Zhiqiang not wanting to marry her, she couldnât wait to draw a line with him.
But not now. She had already planned it out; she would never let herself become the stepping-stone for their affair like in her past life. Instead, she would publicly expose their scandal and then righteously break off the engagement!
After all, being labeled as this scum fiancĂ©âs fiancĂ©e was truly disgusting~
Zhang Zhiqiangâs face turned ugly upon hearing the word "cheat." He wanted to explode but didnât know what to say since it was true, stuck in his chest like an unswallowed lump. "What nonsense are you saying? Since you know your sister is better than you, learn from her. Iâm leaving first."
Gu Youlan moved closer, "Um, Yangyang, donât misunderstand... thereâs really nothing between Brother Qiang and me..."
Nianyang, "Is that so? But Brother Zhiqiang is the town mayorâs son, the best-off in our town, and Brother Zhiqiang also thinks youâre prettier and gentler than me. Sis, do you really have no thoughts at all?"
Gu Youlanâs face stiffened, "Yangyang, how can you say that? Even if Brother Qiang is great, heâs your fiancĂ©. How could sis have any thoughts about him..."
