Using power to force marriage

Ruan Qian went to the remote mountain area entirely because of that bastard Jiang Qiyu.

If he hadn't deliberately avoided relationships and gotten engaged to someone else, Ruan Qian would never have gone to the southwestern mountainous area, let alone encountered the flash flood.

It's all his fault!!

Ruan Fu was an impatient and hot-tempered person. Before she could even wipe away her tears, she immediately went to find Jiang Qiyu.

Knowing he couldn't dissuade her, Zhao Jingnian had no choice but to take her there.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Qiyu had just arrived at the company when he saw the news of a massive flash flood that had struck the southwestern mountainous region before entering the conference room.

He was worried about Ruan Qian and couldn't get through to her on the phone, so he couldn't even attend the meeting.

He instructed his assistant to coordinate the situation in the disaster area and arrange the nearest flight to the disaster site.

Although he didn't know if she was among the missing people, Jiang Qiyu was completely distraught. No matter what, he had to rush to the disaster area to bring her back.

When Ruan Fu arrived at Jiang Qiyu's company, she saw him coming down from the elevator and walking hurriedly out.

The moment she saw him, Ruan Fu's suppressed anger erupted, and she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Jiang Qiyu!"

A crisp slap echoed in the company lobby, startling the surrounding staff who gasped in shock, too afraid to look up or approach.

Jiang Qiyu took the blow head-on, and half of his cheek turned red.

"You're a bastard! I'll never acknowledge you as my brother again! If my sister doesn't come back, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Ruan Fu's chest heaved violently as she angrily accused him, "It's all your fault! You drove her away, you put her in danger, her life hanging in the balance! I hate you!"

Although Jiang Qiyu was worried, he remained relatively calm. "She might not be among the missing persons. Fufu, can you calm down first?"

"Calm down my ass! Zhao Jingnian has already had it checked, my sister is on the list!"

Ruan Fu was furious. She stepped forward and shoved him, her voice sharp, "It's all your fault!"

Jiang Qiyu had just forced himself to calm down, telling himself that she wasn't among the missing persons. He was just deceiving himself, afraid to think the worst.

Upon hearing that Ruan Qian had been confirmed missing, an overwhelming sense of fear swept over him.

I originally thought that I was restraining my feelings and pushing her away for her own good, but I never expected that it would put her in a dangerous situation.

The news of Ruan Qian's disappearance was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart and engulfing him with endless guilt and self-blame.

He immediately mobilized all resources, located the point where the medical team had lost contact, and dispatched professional mountain rescue and exploration teams to the disaster area to provide support.

Jiang Qiyu had to rush to the airport. He was determined to bring her back safely and let Ruan Fu go home and wait for news.

Zhao Jingnian knew Ruan Fu's personality all too well. At this moment, she was only concerned about Ruan Qian's safety, so how could she stay peacefully in Beicheng?

If I don't take her with me, she'll throw a huge tantrum.

The plane could only land in the city, and after getting off the plane, we had to drive 200 kilometers to reach the small town in the disaster-stricken mountain area.

The closer you get to the disaster area, the more shocking the surrounding scenes become.

The torrential rains in the disaster area have not stopped, and the mountains are unstable, so secondary disasters could occur at any time.

Ruan Fu was forced to wait for news in the town. The disaster area was too dangerous, and if she rashly went into the mountains, she would only become a burden.

Jiang Qiyu didn't dare to delay for a moment and followed the search and rescue team into the mountains.

Fortunately, he was notified that Ruan Qian had been found as soon as he entered the disaster-stricken village.

On the night the flash flood occurred, the rain intensified, and she and several medical staff worked through the night to evacuate elderly people who remained in the village. However, the flash flood came so quickly that it destroyed the roads, and in order to protect two elderly people with mobility issues, she was unable to keep up with the medical team's evacuation.

She was trapped in the half-collapsed village guardhouse, but escaped by hiding in the corner of the load-bearing wall. She only suffered some minor injuries and was not in any life-threatening danger.

Inside a temporary shelter set up in the disaster area, Ruan Qian is being examined and treated by a doctor.

Jiang Qiyu rushed over and saw Ruan Qian covered in mud, her brows furrowed in pain and tears welling up in her eyes. The love he had kept hidden in his heart broke through all his constraints. More than worldly criticism, he was afraid of never seeing her again.

The doctor examined her and treated her wounds.

Upon seeing Jiang Qiyu appear, Ruan Qian, whether from pain or fear, felt large tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

But she didn't want Jiang Qiyu to see her crying, so she stubbornly turned her head away.

He almost staggered forward, trying to reach out and hug her, but she dodged him as soon as his hand touched her.

Ruan Qian's eyes were filled with stubbornness and grievance, as if she was sulking with him, and she avoided his touch.

She harbored resentment towards Jiang Qiyu, and having just escaped death, her emotions were unstable. She didn't want to see him, much less let him touch her.

Jiang Qiyu's arm froze in mid-air, his face filled with confusion and helplessness. "Qianqian, were you scared?"

Because he said he didn't like her, that they were just like brother and sister, and that she shouldn't be delusional, and that he was going to get engaged to someone else, Ruan Qian chose to leave Beicheng and, heartbroken, hid away in a remote mountain area.

Now that she has survived a flash flood, the first person she sees is Jiang Qiyu. She feels no joy, only irony.

"Qianqian, are you trying to avoid me?" He asked with a bitter smile, tentatively reaching out again.

I really want to hug her.

Ruan Qian took two steps back, her voice distant and indifferent, "We are siblings, it's not appropriate for us to hug and cuddle."

Jiang Qiyu had used the word "brother and sister" countless times to push her away and bind her; this was his reason for refusing her, and now it was being returned to him exactly as it was.

Jiang Qiyu felt a sudden, sharp pain in his chest, as if his internal organs were twisted together, making it difficult to breathe.

He chuckled, suddenly realizing how unpleasant it felt to be estranged and avoided by those close to him.

"It's only natural for us siblings to hug each other after we've reunited. What's inappropriate about that?"

Ruan Qian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said stubbornly, "Nowhere is suitable. I don't want to talk to you or see you right now."
