Netizens’ comments:

Netizen A: Damn, my white moonlight sister actually swore because of another woman?

Netizen B: Suddenly feeling like Qiao Jinyan is so dominant (A), how to handle?

Netizen C: So the past rumors were true? Qiao Jinyan really came out and snatched her fiancé?

Netizen D: Somehow I ship it now, what’s going on…

Netizen F: My wife was stolen by an outsider?

Netizen G: The Qiao-Tang CP I support actually got a bad ending? I’m an emotionless robot.

Netizen H: Wailing in sorrow! The hatred of wife-snatching is unforgivable!

Netizen I: Show us Luo Nianshu’s face, what exactly attracts my goddess? I just don’t get it.

A small pop-up appeared on the screen, then the system suddenly prompted: Content cannot be loaded.

Weibo crashed!

Luo Nianshu’s hand trembled, black lines covering her forehead.

“Why did you post that kind of Weibo?”

Qiao Jinyan looked at the flustered Luo Nianshu calmly and said, “Don’t you like it?”

“No.”

“Do you know how dangerous this is?”

Qiao Jinyan pressed her lips: “I like it, so it’s fine.”

Luo Nianshu: “… Unreasonable, so unreasonable.”

Luo Nianshu said righteously, “No matter what, we’ve broken up. You shouldn’t post that kind of Weibo to mislead the public.”

“Have you ever heard a phrase?” Qiao Jinyan tilted her head to look at her.

“What?”

Qiao Jinyan furrowed her brow, struggling to recall something from a primary school textbook: “Some people die, but they are still alive.”

“So?”

“What I mean,” Qiao Jinyan looked seriously at her, “by analogy, some people break up, but actually haven’t.”

Luo Nianshu: “… That’s a touching logic.”

“Why did you suddenly leave silently two years ago?” Qiao Jinyan’s tone turned serious, suddenly grabbing Luo Nianshu’s face and staring deeply into her eyes.

Luo Nianshu’s heart skipped a beat nervously, she avoided her gaze: “Didn’t you already know the reason?”

“Then look me in the eyes and say it again.” Qiao Jinyan stared firmly into Luo Nianshu’s eyes, refusing to look away even a bit.

Luo Nianshu turned her head away, not daring to look.

If she told Qiao Jinyan the truth, Qiao Jinyan’s personality would probably make her go find Zhang Weiyin for a fight.

Can an arm really win over a thigh?

Qiao Jinyan grabbed her face again: “Say it! Look me in the eyes and say it again!”

The air was quiet for a moment.

Luo Nianshu took a deep breath, turned her head back, summoned courage to look into Qiao Jinyan’s eyes, forced a careless smile, but her expression was more heartbreaking than crying: “Do you still want to hear me say that kind of thing again?”

Qiao Jinyan’s eyelashes trembled.

“Forget it.” Qiao Jinyan let go of Luo Nianshu and turned her back.

Luo Nianshu sighed with relief, got up to find slippers. Qiao Jinyan felt a movement on the bed, immediately turned over and hugged Luo Nianshu’s waist tightly.

Luo Nianshu looked at the person holding her waist helplessly and sighed, “I’m just going to take a shower.”

“Hmm…” Qiao Jinyan quietly loosened her embrace, her expression flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

When Luo Nianshu entered the bathroom, she felt a gaze watching her from behind.

Two years apart, and now without clothes, she actually felt shy.

She turned on the hot water, applied shampoo.

Not even two minutes had passed before Qiao Jinyan called from outside, “Luo Nianshu.”

Luo Nianshu turned off the water valve and asked, “What is it?”

“Nothing.”

If it’s nothing, why call?

Luo Nianshu frowned suspiciously and turned the water back on.

After two minutes, Qiao Jinyan called again, “Luo Nianshu.”

“What now?” Luo Nianshu turned off the water again.

“Nothing, just calling you.”

The water continued, and two minutes later

“Luo Nian”

“What?” Luo Nianshu opened the door and glared at her.

Qiao Jinyan looked up at her and then went back to leisurely scrolling her phone: “I’m just afraid the water will wash you down the drain.”

Luo Nianshu: “…”

Suddenly she called, “Qiao Jinyan.”

“Hm?”

“I’m not leaving.” Her eyes half-smiled.

Qiao Jinyan paused, then acted indifferent, “Leave if you want, I don’t care.”

The bathroom door closed again, water resumed, mixed with Luo Nianshu’s chuckles.

Hearing her laughter, Qiao Jinyan outside the bathroom smiled lightly. Her mood instantly brightened like the clear sky outside.

More than ten minutes later, Luo Nianshu, drying her hair, stood before Qiao Jinyan: “You go wash.”

Qiao Jinyan hesitated.

Only the two of them were in the house; if she went to shower, then Luo Nianshu

“You’ll stink if you don’t wash.” Luo Nianshu jabbed.

Qiao Jinyan rolled her eyes and said, “I’m always fragrant,” but took a step toward the bathroom.

She took off her clothes, turned on the water, rinsed her hair while chatting.

“Luo Nianshu, let’s go buy you some clothes this afternoon.”

“Okay.”

“What style do you want? A small suit? Or a dress? Or I’ll buy both.”

“Your choice.”

Hearing that, Qiao Jinyan’s face flushed.

“What do you want to eat tonight? Let’s go out.”

“Sure.”

“We can also watch a movie; I’ve acted in many films in the past two years. Have you seen them?”

“I’ve watched every one.”

Hearing “every one,” Qiao Jinyan smiled.

“I’m rich now and famous again. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.” She paused, “If you want to go public, we’ll go public, up to you.”

No response from outside the bathroom.

“Luo Nianshu?” Qiao Jinyan cautiously called.

Still no reply.

Sensing something was wrong, Qiao Jinyan rushed out of the bathroom.

The room was empty; no sign of Luo Nianshu.

Qiao Jinyan: “???”

“Luo Nian Shu!”

Luo Nianshu gasped as she pounded on Jiang Chengzhi’s door.

Jiang Chengzhi opened it, before he could react, Luo Nianshu squeezed inside.

She found the water dispenser like she was at home, propped one hand on her waist and poured herself a cup, gulping down water like a familiar guest.

“What’s wrong with you? Owing debts and running away?” Jiang Chengzhi crossed his arms, looking at her messily.

Luo Nianshu rolled her eyes, “Qiao Jinyan is after me. I need to hide here for a few days.”

“Why not hide at your own place?”

“You don’t get it.” Luo Nianshu sighed and shook her head.

Jiang Chengzhi didn’t know how strong Qiao Jinyan’s investigation skills were—she definitely found Luo Nianshu’s workplace and home by now.

Hiding at home would be walking into a wolf’s mouth.

Jiang Chengzhi’s boyfriend came out of the bedroom and was happy to see Luo Nianshu. He patted Jiang Chengzhi’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Chengzhi, Nianshu helped us before. Now that she’s in trouble, we must help her.”

Jiang Chengzhi smiled and gave an “OK” sign, then curiously asked Luo Nianshu, “What’s the relationship between you and that actress yesterday? She seems to like you. Don’t you like her?”

Luo Nianshu pursed her lips, “Whether I like her or not is none of your business.”

“Okay, okay, none of my business.” Jiang Chengzhi waved his hand, “Can’t believe you’re such a heartless guy, Luo Nianshu.”

“Can you talk less?” Luo Nianshu picked up a pillow to throw at him.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it.” Jiang Chengzhi laughed and went to the door. Luo Nianshu lay on the bed in a “big” pose, stretching out.

Jiang Chengzhi looked through the peephole.

“Nianshu.”

“Hm?”

“It’s Qiao Jinyan.”

The air was tense for a few seconds, then the three scrambled nervously in the room.

What to do? Where to hide?

“Hide in the closet!” Jiang Chengzhi’s boyfriend quickly opened the wardrobe. Luo Nianshu didn’t hesitate and crawled inside.

Everything ready.

Jiang Chengzhi cleared his throat, smiled, and opened the door wide: “Hello, Miss Celebrity.”

“Where is Luo Nianshu?” Qiao Jinyan ignored Jiang Chengzhi, her expression icy as she stepped in.

“You can’t break into a private residence.” Jiang Chengzhi protested.

Qiao Jinyan gave him a knife-like glare.

Jiang Chengzhi: “Uh, please have a seat, I’ll get you some tea.”

He then quickly slipped to the kitchen.

This woman is completely different from how she looks in posters. So scary…

Jiang Chengzhi’s boyfriend saw him leave and took the initiative to protect Luo Nianshu.

He stood tall, blocking Qiao Jinyan: “It’s just the two of us here.”

Qiao Jinyan sneered.

Since the door took so long to open, they were either hiding someone or something else.

Qiao Jinyan clapped her hands, and two even bigger burly men entered the house, standing on either side of her, making the ground seem to shake.

Jiang Chengzhi’s boyfriend silently stepped aside, “Guests are welcome, miss. Feel free to look around.”

Sorry, Nianshu, no help from me this time.

Qiao Jinyan circled the room and stopped precisely in front of the wardrobe.

Luo Nianshu’s heart sank; she dared not move, curled up inside, tightly covering her mouth, afraid her breathing might give her away.

Knock knock knock.

Qiao Jinyan knocked on the door, “Come out?”

Luo Nianshu pretended not to hear.

Qiao Jinyan grew angry, yanked the door open to see Luo Nianshu half-sitting inside: “How long do you plan to keep hiding?”

Luo Nianshu closed her eyes and pretended to be blind.

“Deceiving yourself.” Qiao Jinyan cursed angrily, then started hitting Luo Nianshu’s chest with her handbag repeatedly.

Luo Nianshu didn’t make a sound, silently enduring the blows.

The sound of the bag hitting flesh echoed in the room.

“How long do you want to run away? Another two years?” Qiao Jinyan’s voice trembled.

Luo Nianshu pursed her lips. Water droplets from Qiao Jinyan’s hair fell on her face—obviously, she came without drying her hair.

Jiang Chengzhi looked uncomfortable and whispered, “No domestic violence, no domestic violence.”

Qiao Jinyan shot him a sharp glance.

Jiang Chengzhi shrank his neck, “Uh, but Luo Nianshu deserves it.”

Qiao Jinyan stretched out her hand, “Come home with me.”

Luo Nianshu didn’t move.

Qiao Jinyan grew impatient, grabbed her and tried to pull her out of the closet, “I said come home! Did you hear me?”

“No.” Luo Nianshu shrank further into the closet.

“Why?”

“Because you…”

“What about me?” Qiao Jinyan’s dark eyes stared at her, waiting for her to continue.

“Because you…” Luo Nianshu started but the hurtful words got stuck in her throat and couldn’t come out.

“Forget it.” Luo Nianshu turned her head and shut her mouth.

Qiao Jinyan sighed in relief.

Then she sneered, “Not coming? I have ways to make you.”

She gave a look to the two burly men, who immediately nodded and went forward to carry Luo Nianshu out.

Luo Nianshu struggled, screaming, “Jiang Chengzhi! Save me!”

Jiang Chengzhi stood at the door, watching the two big men approach, silently opened the door wider, and gestured “please.”

“Wish you a happy marriage.” Jiang Chengzhi waved at the carried-away Luo Nianshu, then quickly shut and locked the door.

Luo Nianshu: “???”

Luo Nianshu: “Jiang Chengzhi, you bastard!”
