The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: You Couldn’t Possibly Hear the Words in My Heart, Could You?

A man?

"I wasn’t aware there was a man in my room." Jiang Nanshu looked at him, utterly perplexed.

Now that the facade of a loyal flatterer was no longer viable, she refused to be humble.

So, she forcefully pushed Lu Qingyan against the wall, wearing a face full of indignant humiliation, "Brother Qingyan, do you suspect that I’m with someone else? I only called male models to provoke you, but I overestimated myself. I can’t even make you waver slightly. I agree to call off the engagement, but I can’t bear to break Grandpa Lu’s heart. After chasing you for so long, even a stone would have warmed up; I’m such a failure."

"You don’t like me, so what right do you have to interfere with me? I don’t need you to, go find Su Ran. I promise I won’t bother her anymore. If you go to her, I’ll go to Grandpa Lu and call off our engagement!"

This was the second time Jiang Nanshu had laid hands on him.

Twice in one day.

Yet he wasn’t angry; in fact, he felt this was the personality that Jiang Nanshu should have, not the one that constantly kneeled and tried to please him just to marry into the Lu Family.

She lacked any hint of a gentlewoman’s demeanor.

Even somewhat rebellious, the type Lu Mother least liked in a daughter-in-law.

No wonder Lu Mother had been against it for three years, but Lu Qingyan’s marriage had been set in stone by Young Master Lu.

Lu Qingyan stared at her silently.

The dim yellow light cast a mystical glow, making Jiang Nanshu look like a dusty gem of indescribable beauty.

Blinking her eyes, Jiang Nanshu couldn’t figure out Lu Qingyan’s thoughts.

"After all this, if you can still tolerate it, I really should take you for a mental health check."

He also thought he might need a check.

Otherwise, why could he hear her inner thoughts?

It was like a dream...

Lu Qingyan took a deep breath, stood up straight, ignored Jiang Nanshu’s unreasonable behavior, and instead asked, "Is what you said about calling off our engagement your true feelings? Jiang Nanshu, tell me the truth."

Jiang Nanshu paused, her mind racing. Clinging on desperately seemed futile now—her recent experiences were proof enough.

It even led the original story’s romantic plotline astray to the Pacific.

Weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Nanshu decided to take a bold step.

Her almond-shaped eyes quickly reddened, "Of course it’s true. I hate feeling insecure, I hate living in fear of loss, I hate when the things I care about are at risk of being taken away, I hate being abandoned by someone I rely on the most. If we can’t get married tomorrow, then let’s not contact each other ever again!"

"From the beginning, you should have called off the engagement with me. What were you thinking? You suddenly change your mind and delay my money-making! This isn’t just about seeking love anymore, I’m pushing for a marriage, something that anyone would find unacceptable."

Jiang Nanshu fiercely imagined her five brothers.

Jiang Yisen might flash a grin and sew the mouth shut of a woman pushing for marriage so he wouldn’t have to listen any longer.

Jiang Jingcheng would idly spin his surgical scalpel, coldly educating her on how to meticulously commit an undetectable murder using medical knowledge.

Jian Hemian would methodically dissect artificial body tissues in her presence, then smile afterward and ask, "Still want to get married?"

Zhou Ye’s defiant eyes would laugh coldly: "What status do you have to marry me? Still dreaming? I suggest you drink some herbicide to wake up that brain of yours."

Yun Chuan would keep a stoic face: "Unless you buy my life with a hundred gaming companies, what right do you have?"

Just thinking about it made Jiang Nanshu break out in sweat.

She waited with a mix of restraint and anticipation for Lu Qingyan’s answer.

After a while, he said indifferently, "We can’t get married."

Jiang Nanshu’s eyes lit up, "Then we should just..."
