Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 14 Lin Miao’s lovelorn
No one came to open the door for a long time. Lin Miao, who was standing outside the door, was extremely anxious, and all she could hear were rumors about Qi Yan's wedding.

Lin Miao clenched her fists, her delicate face showing resentment and anxiety.

She didn't believe those rumors. Qi Yan was only going back to visit relatives. She had seen Qi Yan's leave slip with her own eyes. How could it be for a wedding?

But rumors can spread like wildfire. As more and more people discussed it, Lin Miao's resolve began to waver.

"Qi Yan, open the door! I need to talk to you urgently!"

Qi Yan's refusal to open the door made Lin Miao even more anxious. The person who usually spoke softly was now shouting loudly outside the door.

"You should go and see him. It's so late, he must have something urgent to tell you, and making such a commotion could easily disturb the people around you." Ji Sisi had no appetite to eat anymore.

Qi Yan nodded, wiped his mouth clean, stood up, and walked out against the light, his tall figure silhouetted against the backdrop of the sun.

"It's urgent. Let's talk about it at the hospital tomorrow." Qi Yan got straight to the point, not wanting to get too involved with Lin Miao.

Seeing that it was Qi Yan alone, Lin Miao smiled, but the smile disappeared in less than two seconds.

Ji Sisi stood at the living room doorway, the moonlight shining on her. Her skin was like jade, and beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of dark and bright eyes. Her lips were red and luscious, like a female celebrity from a poster.

Lin Miao stood there stunned for a long while. After a moment, she pointed at Ji Sisi and asked Qi Yan, "Who is she?"

"My fiancée, you came all this way just to ask this?" Qi Yan's deep voice was tinged with impatience.

Qi Yan's words struck Lin Miao like a thunderbolt; she opened her mouth, speechless with shock.

Lin Miao subconsciously shook her head and muttered to herself, "No, Ayan, do you have some kind of hardship, or is your family forcing you? You could have refused. You could have just said you have a boyfriend at the research institute, and I could have pretended to be your boyfriend. Why did you choose to compromise?"

In Lin Miao's mind, Qi Yan was a womanizer. During his three years at the research institute, she was the woman he had the most contact with. How could he suddenly marry a stranger?

Qi Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze deep and intense.

"My matter shouldn't have much to do with Dr. Lin. If there's nothing urgent, please leave. My fiancée and I need to rest."

Qi Yan told them to leave, ready to close the door at any moment.

"How can it not be related? I saved your life! Have you forgotten?" Lin Miao stuck her foot out to block the door, preventing Qi Yan from closing it.

Although Qi Yan had been indifferent to her before, he would never have kept her at arm's length like this.

Lin Miao felt as if her heart had been ripped out, experiencing pain accompanied by emptiness.

“Dr. Lin, you saved my life, and I am very grateful to you. But saving lives is your duty as a doctor. If you are using this as leverage, I think I need to suggest to the base that we find another doctor.”

Qi Yan frowned, looking at Lin Miao with displeasure.

Lin Miao's expression froze. This was the first time Qi Yan had ever been angry with her. Lin Miao never imagined that one day, the usually polite Qi Yan would speak harshly to her twice in one day.

Qi Yan slammed the door shut without any hesitation. "Take care."

Ji Sisi was very satisfied with Qi Yan's solution. It left no room for doubt or hope, and his refusal was simple and clear. He also closed the door decisively.

Ji Sisi asked curiously, "Have you ever encountered anything very dangerous before?"

Qi Yan was slightly taken aback. He had thought she would be curious about Lin Miao's identity, but instead, her first concern was about his past. Qi Yan felt a warmth in his heart. Ji Sisi waved her hand in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

"Yes, there was a slight accident with the test pilot the year before last, but everything is fine now."

Ji Sisi hummed in agreement. "Let's eat. You've had a long day."

After leaving Qi Yan's house, Lin Miao went straight to the research institute's dormitory, found Lin Peifeng's room, and kicked it hard.

Lin Peifeng, who was sitting at his desk reading, was trembling and staring wide-eyed at the newcomer.

His heart sank. It was over. What was bound to happen had finally happened.

"Sister, what brings you here so late?" Lin Peifeng put down his book and smiled guiltily.

"Lin Peifeng, did you already know that Qi Yan was going back to get married this time?"

"What! Who did you say got married?" Lin Peifeng raised his voice. "My eldest brother? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Sis, stop listening to those aunties gossiping all the time."

No one knows a brother better than his sister. Seeing Lin Peifeng's exaggerated appearance, Lin Miao had already guessed that he was in the know, and she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

"Lin Peifeng, you're really something! You know I like Qi Yan, but instead of helping me, you're siding with him and keeping it from me!"

As Lin Miao spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Miao cry, Lin Peifeng's expression also became serious. "Sister, my boss said from the beginning that he wasn't interested in you and told you not to waste your time on him. You just didn't listen and insisted on hanging yourself on one tree."

“I don’t know the boss, but don’t you? He’s definitely not the kind of person who would be easily coerced or bribed. He wants to marry you because he genuinely wants to be with you. Sister, don’t cause him any more trouble.”

Seeing Lin Miao cry, Lin Peifeng felt bad too.

He had tried to persuade him many times before, but no one listened. Besides, he also wanted Qi Yan to be his brother-in-law. He always said that good things should not go to outsiders, but you can't force feelings.

Lin Miao sobbed, then burst into tears, "But I've liked him for three years! He suddenly married someone else. What's the difference between this and having all the cabbages I've grown for three years stolen overnight?"

Lin Peifeng: "..."

Is it possible that this cabbage was delivered to someone's door on its own, begging to be picked?

The thought that such an outstanding man was already taken, and that her three years of companionship had been wasted, filled Lin Miao with a deep, aching pain.

But her pride and upbringing wouldn't allow her to interfere in someone else's marriage. Lin Miao couldn't stop crying, and she was completely heartbroken.

Ji Sisi's appearance caused quite a stir not only in the research institute but also in the family compound. However, one person was very unhappy and had already harbored a grudge against Ji Sisi.

Guo Xiaolan was upset and annoyed just looking at the water in the basin.

Why is it that Ji Sisi gets to be assigned to the new family compound, while she has to be assigned to the old family compound with a bunch of old women?
And because of Ji Sisi, everyone's attention has been focused on her.

She had only arrived yesterday, yet no one welcomed her. Just now, when she went to fetch water from the well, several women mistook her for Ji Sisi, which infuriated Guo Xiaolan.

"What's wrong with you?"

Fang Shijie had just returned from the cafeteria with breakfast when he saw Guo Xiaolan standing angrily in front of the washstand, lost in thought.

"It's all because of you. Why can everyone else live in the new family compound, but I can't? We all arrived on the same day."
