Chapter 141: Adapting to Life Without Him
When she thought of the face she had loved for ten years, covered with bloodstains and scars, her heart felt like it had fallen from a height, and she felt so empty and uncomfortable. In contrast, her father's face was full of warmth just now, and there was nothing unusual at all...
But isn't excessive calm even more terrifying than rage?
An Lian couldn't help but take a step back, feeling terrified.
If this is the case, then Zeng Yan's twisted and abnormal behaviors, which he endured alone under such oppression for a long time, seem to have a source.
An Lian realized at this moment that after being a relative for ten years, what she knew about her father Zeng Nian was not even the tip of the iceberg.
Did Zeng Yan allow his father's behavior to happen to his mother, or did he simply not dare to resist?
"Heh~" She suddenly sneered, her laughter full of sarcasm and sadness.
What on earth does she know?
Even her husband, with whom she had slept for ten years, she had only just begun to get to know him.
An Lian shook her head, getting rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind.
In any case, what she was sure of was that her father Zeng Nian was the source of all these tragedies.
A tragedy for all.
Therefore, it is imperative to cut the wings of this hand that covers the sky and the sun.
And the Commander Qi mentioned by my mother-in-law must be the key!
Originally, she just wanted to come out to find out the location and guard situation of the archive room, but she happened to meet Zeng Nian, who interrupted her actions.
Yes, although Zeng Yan did not love her, he was not too defensive towards her. As long as she did not enter any room casually, she could freely walk through all the corridors in the Western Suburbs Military Camp.
Without thinking any more, she moved her feet again, looking for the sword at her own pace.
Wing-chopping blade.

"Drip drip..."
The cell phone under his head was roaring, and Ji Ran startled and sat up suddenly.
After realizing it was just a phone call, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but swear:
"Grass……"
Subconsciously, she tried to reach out for her phone, but found that she couldn't. She looked down and saw that she was wrapped like a silkworm cocoon again.
She turned her head and looked around, but there was no sign of him.
She looked up and looked around the room, but didn't see the person she wanted to see.
I suddenly felt so lost that I couldn't help but open my mouth to call him to appear, but when I thought of what he said yesterday, my teeth slowly bit my lower lip.
"fraud……"
He also said that he would always be by her side, but he never thought about it that much.
Why didn't he think about it? Even if he protected her, what would be the point if she lost him?
He doesn’t care…
"Ding ding ding..." The phone on the pillow was still trying to attract attention.
Ji Ran took a deep breath, suppressed the grievance in his heart, pulled off the quilt, took out his phone and answered it directly:
"explain."
It’s best if the person who calls to wake her up has something important to tell her, otherwise she’ll probably lose her temper, especially when she’s in a bad mood.
The other party was stunned, but then laughed out loud.
Ji Ran frowned in annoyance, took down his phone and looked at the screen. It was Jiang Baishen.
Even more impatient.
"Are you laughing? You're going to fart!"
Hearing this, Jiang Baishen smiled more brightly.
Ji Ran rolled his eyes impatiently, "Are you okay? If not, hang up now."
"I'm at your door." Jiang Baishen replied.
Ji Ran was stunned and asked in confusion: "What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Jiang Baishen smiled helplessly: "I'm here to pick you up. You promised to go to my house tonight. Did you forget?"
"Oh." Ji Ran remembered after hearing this. He actually came to pick her up. This guy was really nice.
But when she thought about how Qi Mu was sad because Jiang Baishen got close to her.
If Jiang Baishen comes to pick her up, Qi Mu will definitely be sad...
She might as well ask Jiang Baishen for an address and go there by herself.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly stopped.
cut!
That man was going to abandon her without a care in the world and go to hell!
Who cares about him!
"Come out quickly~" Jiang Baishen urged softly.
Ji Ran didn't reject Jiang Baishen in the end, he just said "Oh".
But suddenly she caught a glimpse of herself still in bed, and she couldn't help but frown and asked:
"No, we agreed to go there tonight. What are you doing here now?"
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Xiao Leng, it's five o'clock in the afternoon now, you haven't gotten up yet, have you?"
"Ah?" Ji Ran was confused and took out his phone again to take a look at the screen.
Damn, it’s really five o’clock in the afternoon.
Thinking back, it seems that I really couldn’t sleep last night because I was too sad. I don’t even know what time I fell asleep.
"Okay, wait." Ji Ran hung up the phone and rubbed his temples with a headache.
He tilted his head back onto the pillow, rolled around twice skillfully, and opened the quilt.
She got up, pulled out a pair of comfortable home pants from the closet and put them on, took her cell phone and went downstairs to wash up. When she reached the bathroom door, she couldn't help but look around the living room.
There was not even a ghost.
Ji Ran bit his lip aggrievedly, turned around and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Humph... liar!
I brushed my teeth without interest, looking at my listless face in the mirror, with red eyes and sad corners of my mouth.
Ji Ran lowered his head dejectedly, turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on his face. Under the cold stimulation, his brain instantly became much more alert, but the grievance in his heart did not dissipate with the fatigue.
Ji Ran grabbed the towel hanging beside him and wiped the water stains off his face, then casually combed his hair a few times.
Finished, go out.
Just two steps out of the bathroom door.
"Are you hungry?" A familiar magnetic voice sounded from the bathroom door.
Ji Ran paused, and his originally confused heart was suddenly surrounded by a strong warmth.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the handsome face filled with love that belonged only to her, as well as a bit of guilt that could not be ignored.
The grievance suddenly surged like a tidal wave and overwhelmed my heart, and my eyes became red uncontrollably again.
Qi Mu took a step forward with concern and carefully took her hand.
"I made a cake for you..."
His voice sounded humble, yet expectant.
Ji Ran wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she still insisted proudly:
"So you still think you're unimportant?"
Qi Mu was stunned for two seconds, but still looked at her firmly and said, "Not as important as you."
Hearing this, Ji Ran clenched his teeth angrily, trying to suppress the tears in his eyes, pulled his hand away and turned to leave.
Since he is not important, she should just adapt to life without him!
"Ran..." Qi Mu wanted to call her in panic, but was afraid that pestering her would make her feel worse, so he forced himself to turn off the sound.
Ji Ran walked quickly towards the courtyard gate, feeling so depressed that he felt a little suffocated.
Seeing her push the door open, Jiang Baishen happily got out from the driver's seat, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door for her, and blocked the door frame like a gentleman.
