The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 359 - 358: Never Rest Until Death

So... the task was completed.

She had just gotten the marriage certificate with Lu Qingyan, and her task was finished. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She stared at the still-warm marriage certificate, she couldn’t just let him become a widower right after getting married, could she?

Jiang Nanshu licked her somewhat dry lips and gave a hollow laugh, "Lu Qingyan, you definitely haven’t forgiven me, have you... Shall we go in and get divorced again?"

Lu Qingyan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and he chuckled, "You’re trying to trick me again? Right, it wouldn’t be like you if you didn’t mess with me."

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

Was her image in Lu Qingyan’s heart really that bad?

Jiang Nanshu looked down at the marriage certificate, she married Lu Qingyan on a day without blessings, without a wedding ceremony, not even a ring, simply for "repayment."

She felt a bit despondent, over this past year or so.

Jiang Nanshu had learned a lot.

How to interact with people, the feeling of friendship and kinship.

She had lived as Zhou Yanxu had instructed her.

The more she had, the more hesitant Jiang Nanshu became, the less she was like herself.

Jiang Nanshu reached out to grab Lu Qingyan’s sleeve, looked up at him, "So when will you stop being angry?"

At the very least, she hoped the resentment in Lu Qingyan’s heart would disappear by the time she left.

She didn’t want to owe anyone anything.

Lu Qingyan looked at her indifferently, "Jiang Nanshu, if I did that to you, would you forgive me?"

Jiang Nanshu was speechless.

Putting herself in his shoes.

She could hate Lu Qingyan to death.

"So you marrying me..."

"Revenge, only with you by my side, can I take my revenge on you."

After he said this.

He seemed somewhat disgusted.

He tossed the keys to Jiang Nanshu, "Go home and wait for me."

It was the key to Emperor’s Garden.

Logically speaking...

She had paid for this house!

He left without looking back.

Jiang Nanshu felt somewhat empty inside, see... a broken mirror was irreparable.

She and Lu Qingyan were already impossible.

Even if they were married... they couldn’t return to the past.

Jiang Nanshu kept the flash marriage a secret.

It was so easy to do bad things then, and now rising up was just as painful.

"Da Shachun, how much longer can I stay here?"

Da Shachun: [Host, you must leave within a month, or else it will be considered giving up, and you will stay in this world forever. I will unbind from you after one month.]

Its mechanical voice sounded a bit more jubilant.

It was finally going to be free!

One month huh...

"Okay, I got it."

A month later, winter left and spring arrived.

Jiang Nanshu returned to the villa in Emperor’s Garden, it was chillingly cold inside, devoid of any sign of life.

Jiang Nanshu, having grown accustomed to being with Xu Xi and the others, found it a bit uncomfortable to be alone in a place.

She came in and tidied up simply.

As she bent over to clean the coffee table, a tube of ointment for frostbitten hands fell out.

Jiang Nanshu was slightly stunned, and the memory instantly returned to the night she was Snow Rose, the eve of Lu Qingyan’s departure abroad.

So it wasn’t a hallucination? Lu Qingyan had truly been sitting by her side?

When Lu Qingyan returned it was already 8:30 p.m.

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t cook and was too lazy to order takeout, so she just ate a few pieces of fruit to fill her stomach, and incidentally drank two cups of warm water.

She remembered the past, when she was kicked out of the house, living here alone, Lu Qingyan, even if he hadn’t finished his work, would rush back to have dinner with her, because he knew she would be hungry when alone, feared that takeout was unsanitary, so he would cook himself.

The current time was 8:30 p.m.

Lu Qingyan walked in from the hallway, casually hanging his coat on the coat rack.

Jiang Nanshu immediately went to meet him, showing him the ointment she had found, "Did you apply medicine to me the night I made Snow Rose for you?"

Lu Qingyan’s indifferent eyebrows slightly moved as he looked down briefly, then met Jiang Nanshu’s expectant gaze. His adam’s apple bobbed, and he took the ointment, accurately throwing it into the trash behind Jiang Nanshu, "Forgot about it. It’s not important."

Jiang Nanshu’s expression turned to shock, "You..."

Lu Qingyan walked past her without stopping.

"Lu Qingyan!"

Jiang Nanshu chased after him, but Lu Qingyan’s steps did not halt.

"Is it so hard to admit? You did apply medicine for me." Jiang Nanshu didn’t understand why it was so difficult for him to admit such a simple thing.

Lu Qingyan stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around, "What’s the use of bringing up pointless matters?"

Jiang Nanshu’s lips moved slightly, "I thought..."

"You thought that after we married, I would fall in love with you again, or you thought that by applying medicine, you could erase the fact you once ignored my plea for help." Lu Qingyan’s voice was cold and calm, stating the facts.

He had really thought that the first time he saw Jiang Nanshu, she would take him away.

But she merely waved his hand away, leaving him behind like trash.

"Lu Qingyan..." Jiang Nanshu wanted to say something.

Lu Qingyan turned around, his dark eyes icy cold, "Let me ask you, if we could go back to that time, would you take me away without any hesitation?"

Jiang Nanshu was stunned. Would she?

The Jiang Nanshu of that time certainly wouldn’t.

Jiang Nanshu’s hesitation was the best answer.

Lu Qingyan looked at her mockingly, his gaze falling as he hid the sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

"You would leave me behind, at any time, so we are doomed to be at odds with each other for life."

As the sound of the door closing echoed,

Jiang Nanshu finally came to her senses.

There was a pain in her chest, and it was uncomfortable.

She sat crouched by the wall next to Lu Qingyan’s door, pulling out their marriage certificate from her pocket and flipping it open to the photo of the two of them.

Jiang Nanshu, feeling irritated, ran her fingers through her hair. With only one month left, and the way Lu Qingyan was, even marrying him wouldn’t extinguish his rage—it had been a year already!

While she was figuring out what to do,

The door behind her suddenly opened, startling her.

Looking up, she saw Lu Qingyan gazing down at her.

"You..."

He bent down, seized her hand, and pulled her inside.

"What are you doing!"

"Retribution."

Jiang Nanshu: "?"

Alright, alright.

What a retribution.

Pinning her to the bed as his retribution.

Jiang Nanshu felt as though stars were swirling in front of her eyes, and it wasn’t until dawn began to break that Lu Qingyan finally let her go.

She woke up at noon, ravenous.

Sitting up, she immediately noticed something was off with her body.

Lifting the blanket, her face turned pale.

He, how could he...

Jiang Nanshu definitely didn’t want to get pregnant at this time.

Bearing the exhaustion, she rushed to the bathroom to wash up, then hurriedly left the house to buy a box of contraceptives from a store far from the villa.

She gulped them down with a cup of warm water provided by the pharmacy.

Once she was done, she slipped the box into a compartment of her backpack.

The next second, her phone rang.

It was Jiang Jingcheng’s call.

Jiang Nanshu picked up, "What’s up? Second brother."

There was a moment of silence on Jiang Jingcheng’s end before he said, "Could you come to the hospital? Mom wants to see you."

Jiang Nanshu frowned, "What happened to her?"

Jiang Nanshu hadn’t seen Mrs. Jiang for a long time.

She hadn’t kept up with her news either.

Jiang Jingcheng sighed, "Late-stage gastric cancer, she doesn’t have much time left."
