Chapter 1119: The Fierce and Vicious Fiancée

Qi Heng:...

He was speechless once again.

In fact, he had been speechless the entire time since seeing them today.

But one thing was certain: he and Miss Liu were incompatible in their values, their appearances didn't attract one another, and in any case, their auras were completely mismatched; they simply could not be together.

He decided to refuse directly; he could no longer be tactful.

Being tactful wasted too much time, especially with someone like Miss Liu.

"I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I have someone I like."

"It doesn't matter, that was in the past; in the future, you will like me."

Qi Heng:...

Was this woman a bit too confident?

"You don't mind?"

"I don't mind at all. Isn't it quite normal to have three wives and four concubines here? You can trust that I am a magnanimous person and will get along very well with your other women."

Qi Heng was speechless once again; she was quite magnanimous indeed.

But he did not need magnanimity; he only wanted his future wife to be Shi Ran, not some other woman.

Huaxia University, nearby airport.

Yun Qitian and Shi Ran pulled their suitcases, passports in hand, and queued to board the plane, heading to L Country.

Yun Qitian kept looking left and right, not daring to look anyone in the eye.

Shi Ran poked him in the lower back: "Calm down, don't look so shifty."

Yun wore a mournful face: "I can't calm down! We're using fake passports; if we get caught, will we be locked up?"

The two of them going to L Country could not openly use their own identities, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get in at all.

The connections Wang Yong found in L Country to make the passports actually used official channels; they just changed their identities for them.

Yun Qitian was timid and felt guilty.

Shi Ran glared at him: "It's not too late for you to back out now. I can save A Heng just fine on my own."

If it weren't for his insistence, she wouldn't have wanted to bring him along. She had originally thought he would be a help, but now he looked like a dead weight; she shouldn't let him drag her down!

"I'm going."

"How about this, I'll just stand by your side."

Yun Qitian held Shi Ran's arm tightly, like a younger brother seeking protection from his older sister.

There was no helping it.

Shi Ran could only reach back to hold his arm, comforting him incessantly.

After dawdling, they finally reached the inspection point.

All documents were checked, there were no issues, and the two passed through successfully.

Yun Qitian let out a long sigh of relief: "That was close."

Shi Ran:...

Where was it close?

Clearly, there was no risk at all.

L Country.

Wang Yong came to pick them up at the airport in person.

He took the two youngsters to the hotel and arranged for them to stay.

He said to Shi Ran: "Niece, I received reliable internal news that Qi Heng has fallen gravely ill, and Miss Liu has already moved into Qi Fu to take care of him."

"A week from now, they are holding a grand engagement ceremony to ward off bad luck. What should we do? Do you want me to send people to snatch him out?"

Wang Yong despised Qi Xiansheng's treacherous behavior. Although he had made a lot of money in L Country through connections over the years, Sheng Hanyu was still the most important person in his heart.

His big brother's daughter was his own niece; as long as Shi Ran nodded, he would stop at nothing to snatch Qi Heng back.

As for the future... at worst, he would become an outlaw.

In any case, there were so many unclaimed islands around L Country; he could just go be a pirate and live just as freely. Living was living anywhere; he was open-minded about it.

"No need. Uncle Wang, please don't be impulsive. Let me think, let me think."

Shi Ran's brows furrowed slightly as she rested her chin on her hands, lost in thought.

Quiet, steady, and reserved.

Not only did she not let Wang Yong go snatch the person, she didn't even allow him to tell her parents.

Her own affairs, Shi Ran would resolve herself.

"Uncle Wang, could you deliver a letter to A Heng for me?"

Wang Yong: "I can. That little task is easy."

She wrote a letter and handed it to Wang Yong: "Sorry to trouble you."

Wang Yong actually had his own people in Qi Fu. Although they weren't in important positions, finding a way to get a letter into the Eldest Young Master's hands wasn't difficult.

Qi Fu.

Qi Heng was faking an illness, eating and drinking in bed, with servants delivering three meals a day to his room.

Today, the person delivering the meal had changed.

This person set down the tray, arranged the food on the table one by one, and while Miss Liu wasn't paying attention, quickly pulled a piece of paper from their bosom and handed it to Qi Heng.

He quickly took it and hid it under the quilt.

"What are you two doing?" Miss Liu had sharp eyes; even such a quick movement was discovered by her.

"We aren't doing anything. I wanted a tissue; I couldn't possibly order you to do such a trivial thing, could I?"

"Oh." She didn't say anything more, so it was considered brushed off.

"Eat."

The small dining table was pulled over and placed between the two of them.

Qi Heng ate very little, then excused himself by saying he was full.

"How come you only ate this much? Are you feeling unwell again? Let me check."

He gripped the quilt tightly: "No need. I just didn't sleep well last night and want to have a good sleep. You go out; let me sleep in peace for a while."

Liu Min had been active since childhood and disliked being still; she never had a moment of quiet, and she was so energetic that she didn't need a nap during the day at all.

She would make all sorts of noise if she stayed in the room, so now that Qi Heng asked her to leave, she didn't think much of it and decided it was a good time to go out and play for a while.

Liu Min went out, and Qi Heng immediately threw off the quilt and stood by the window, watching her leave the main gate before he felt relieved enough to come back and lock the door.

Then he took out the letter paper and unfolded it!

The letter paper was clean and blank, without any handwriting.

He took a bottle of potassium permanganate from the cabinet, used a cotton swab to apply it evenly over the paper, and elegant handwriting leaped onto the page.

Shi Ran didn't say anything else; in a tone like chatting about daily life, she said she had arrived in L Country and where she was staying now, and then there was nothing else.

He pressed the letter paper tightly against his heart; his heart was beating "thump-thump" very fast, so fast it almost felt like it would jump out.

He understood Shi Ran.

Just as Shi Ran understood him!

Although the hard-won letter contained no passionate content, the meaning it expressed was very clear.

Her saying she had arrived in L Country was an expression of her determination to be with him.

Telling him the address was an indication that the two of them could leave together, fly far away, and abandon their studies.

"Bang!"

The door was clearly locked, yet it was kicked open with great force, and Liu Min stood at the doorway.

"Are you crazy? Do you know anything about manners? Who kicks a door open to enter someone's room? Get out." He hurriedly hid the letter paper behind his back, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it under the pillow.

"Why are you getting so angry? I was just worried about you, afraid you might have an accident while alone in the room..."

Qi Heng interrupted her huffily: "I thank you, I thank your whole family. If you weren't here, I wouldn't have any accidents."

Liu Min was very calm and also very certain: "You aren't sick; you are faking illness. You don't want to get engaged to me, and you don't want to marry me." It wasn't a question, but a statement.

Qi Heng almost blurted it out and admitted it.

But the words reached his lips and were swallowed back down by force.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I don't want to marry you, but I'm not faking illness. I am sick, sick to the point of dying, cough cough..." He still hoped Liu Min would take the initiative to suggest leaving.

"Hmph! Do you take me for a child who is easy to fool? You aren't sick at all; don't try to fool me."
