  The life after the engagement was simple and relaxed. The only bad thing was that Qiao Tian hadn’t returned yet, and Ning Meng Yao didn’t know when he would return or how he was doing.

  While Ning Meng Yao was thinking about Qiao Tian Chang, he was staring coldly at Lei An.

  “Boss, don’t look at me like this. I’m scared.” Lei An looked at Qiao Tian Chang pitifully.

  Only God knew who had provoked the boss. It had been many days since the arrival of his boss. His expression was like a dynamite that might explode at any time.

  Previously when their plan was ruined by someone, he almost tore that person’s skin off. That person was still lying in bed presently.

  From that day onwards, everyone was extremely careful. Everyone was afraid to accidentally offend the stern general, Qiao Tian Chang.

  Qiao Tian Chang glared coldly at Lei An: “What’s the progress on the thing I told you to do?”


  “Big brother, rest assured. I have investigated it clearly.” Lei An nodded quickly, not daring to go against his orders.

  Qiao Tian Chang let out a breath and focused at the man in front of him.

  This matter technically only needed a short time to resolve, but it had been postponed for too long.

  He had just gotten engaged but he had to leave to come here immediately. The plan that he had planned initially had been ruined which made Qiao Tian Chang furious.

  Although this was very good, it wasn’t without any harm, instead the result was quite well, because these setbacks made them more careful, and to perform their orders with almost no mistakes. At this rate, he should be able to return soon. He wondered if his wife-to-be missed him or not.

  It was for the best if he didn’t think of Ning Meng Yao because the more he thought about her, the more he wanted to return to her soon.

  He didn’t know what she was doing right now. He wondered if she was living her life as leisurely as she used to.

  Naturally, Ning Meng Yao didn’t know what Qiao Tian Chang was thinking.

  She looked at Xiao Qi Tian standing in front of her, and her brow furrowed slightly.

  “Is there a reason for why you’re here?” Ning Meng Yao asked curiously. He often came over when things were unhappy. This time, he even had a serious expression, which made Ning Meng Yao somewhat perplexed.

  Xiao Qi Tian gazed into Ning Meng Yao’s eyes with enlightenment. Looking into those serious pair of eyes, no one could guess what he was thinking. In the end, Ning Meng Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she demanded: “Xiao Qi Tian, what did you come here for?”


  Xiao Qi Tian’s eyes glimmered a little as he watched Ning Meng Yao: “You’re engaged to Tian Chang?” Actually Qiao Tian Chang had already told him the news before and he felt a little dissatisfied at that time. As such, he had wanted to find a chance to ask her personally. However, due to things being a little busy at the emperor’s place, he didn’t have the chance until now.

  “Yes.” Ning Meng Yao paused and then nodded.

  “Do you think you’re worthy of him?” Xiao Qi Tian asked while keeping his serious eyes locked at Ning Meng Yao.

  Ning Meng Yao smiled and put down the embroidered basket in her hands. She looked at Xiao Qi Tian’s hateful appearance: “Xiao Qi Tian, I know your family is rich, but this is something between me and Qiao Tian Chang. You don’t have to care too much. As long as he loves me, it is enough for me. What does this have to do with you?”


  Xiao Qi Tian originally felt that he should be angry at her, but when he saw her cold eyes, he realized that he didn’t seem to have a right to speak any more.

  “I know that you’re his friend, but I’m not living with you, so questions like “how my life has been?” is better to be kept to yourself. It’s enough as long as we feel happy in our lives. I’ll not intervene in the things he wants to do.” Ning Meng Yao was obviously setting up her position.

  Xiao Qi Tian’s expression changed slightly. Looking at Ning Meng Yao, he suddenly realized that he had never really understood this woman. She was like a mystery.

  “If you’re here to talk about this today, then I suggest that you save your effort.” Ning Meng Yao would never be dissatisfied with Qiao Tian Chang because of Xiao Qi Tian’s questions. Instead, the questions were expressing their concern for Qiao Tian Chang so she should be glad he had such a good pal.
