[DayTheEngagementWasBroken] Chapter 18.1 — Don’t Tell Me That You Lost Her

Gou An was already a little drunk and could not stand firmly without holding on to the wall. The scene that happened in front of her made fireworks explode in front of her eyes—

Her half-sober brain suddenly found a clue, and she retracted her head with a ‘swish’. She clung to the wall, speechless because of shock. Every time she saw Lu Wan and He Jinxing together, she trembled in fear.

It was like watching everything hurtling towards a predetermined ending, the course irreversible—

The author’s will could not be changed: the hero and the heroine must be HE; the vicious female supporting character must seek death; and the handsome police officer must say to her ‘Welcome to Qingshan Prison’.

“Jiao, Assistant Jiao,” Gou An was so frightened that she was almost stuttering, “What’s going on with these two right now? Check it out for me!”

That time at the hospital was obviously the first time these two had met. At that time, apart from doing his good deed for the day, He Jinxing didn’t even look at Lu Wan too much—

Why was it that tonight Lu Wan was suddenly grabbing his shirt and burying her face in his chest muscles?

This author, do you not even follow logic in your writing? Are these two going the old routine of ‘the heroine is dumped by the male supporting character at the beginning, and in the first three lines of the next chapter, she drags the male supporting character’s elder to get a room”!?

Lu Wan’s character and plot development shouldn’t be like this! Why don’t you go and take a look at the outline again?

Gou An was clutching the bathroom wall anxiously, wishing she could jump out of the script and grab the author’s keyboard to write things herself.

The stupid, fat cat, who had also been shocked by this quick development between the hero and heroine, began meowing and finally gave an answer—

[Jiao Jiao: It seems that they met again when the scholarship was awarded two days ago.]

“…Dammit, I knew He Jinxing wasn’t just there to award me a scholarship!”

[Jiao Jiao: Are you really still concerned about that now! ]

“Then what’s the point of me worrying about other things?”

[Jiao Jiao: According to the description of the incident, does it seem like the two of them met by chance?]

“So what if they did? What difference does it make?! Do you still want me to applaud their good marriage? What happened after they met last time? Why did it suddenly turn out like this?!”

[Jiao Jiao: Let me take a look at the original text— Oh, here it is. The following is the original text narration.]

[Jiao Jiao: ‘Because He Ran officially announced Gou An’s status, Lu Wan was ostracized and blamed by many people at school. She hid in a fire escape stairwell to cry in secret… There, Lu Wan again met the person who helped her last time, He Jinxing.’]

[Jiao Jiao: ‘He Jinxing was like a god descending from the sky. He appeared in front of Lu Wan again, playing with the black lighter in his hand. He looked a little careless, but the shadow cast by his tall figure enveloped her.

“Why are you hiding here crying again?”

“For He Ran?”

“It’s not necessary. He and the little miss from the Gou family will not be together in the end.”

His voice sounded quiet and slow.

So gentle.’]

Gou An: “…”

Gou An: “=L?”

Gou An showed a stepmother’s face¹ which was really appropriate under the circumstances.

She actually learned of the hero’s most ‘sincere’ ‘blessing’ for her ‘marriage’.

Gou An decided to announce that from now on, she would equally hate every person in the world who didn’t care whether she lived or died and was biased against her—like the author of this domineering CEO novel.

“Okay, from today on, I will lock myself up at home and not go out—or I’ll go abroad. Right, I will go abroad. How about going to Iceland? Or Norway. Or if Antarctica is not unsuitable for long-term human habitation, I can actually go to Antarctica—at least the penguins won’t catch me and put me in jail.”

As Miss Gou spoke, she was so distressed that she sobbed with genuine emotion.

Her legs softened, and she slid down the wall, hugging her knees and squatting against the wall.

The alcohol had gone to her head, and she felt like the world was spinning. At the same time, her heart was filled with grievance and she wanted to cry—

The worst thing was that the silly cat in her mind that usually jumped up and down and liked to chatter endlessly suddenly turned off its microphone. This made Gou An feel even more lonely.

She pouted and muttered, “Stupid cat, please stretch your head and take a look. Are the two people still outside? I’ll wait until they leave before I go out. I don’t want to see them.”

[Jiao Jiao: Oh!]

Gou An didn’t stop talking, “If they are kissing now, if He Jinxing is pinching Lu Wan’s waist and pressing her against the wall to kiss her, don’t tell me.”

[Jiaojiao: …]

Gou An was shocked: “No! Why did you stop talking! Are they really kissing??”

[Jiaojiao: No, this ellipsis just expresses my speechlessness.]

[Jiao Jiao: The male and female protagonists are gone. There is a bit of noise outside. I don’t know what happened. There may be a new plot point. Do you want to go out and take a look? ]

Gou An held the door frame with one hand, muttering “It better be the end of the world” as she staggered to her feet, then leaned half of her body out the door and found that it was indeed very noisy outside.

There were sounds of glass breaking, people shouting and cursing, and even someone screaming.

In comparison, the ordinary VIP box on the third floor where He Ran’s party was very quiet.

Gou An was stunned for a moment. She looked at the time only to find that almost half an hour had passed since she entered the bathroom… She didn’t know what had happened during this half hour.

She walked out of the bathroom. There were more than a dozen VIP rooms on the third floor, but there was not a single person in the entire floor.

The music in some private rooms was still playing, but the microphone was casually thrown on the sofa; the cool lights in the rooms were still turning silently; the foreign wine in the ice bucket had not been opened; the fruit in the fruit plate was only half eaten…

But there was really no one there, and they all seemed to have left in a hurry.

Even though her mind was confused at this moment, Gou An realized that something must have gone wrong.

“Have all the people been arrested in a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications?” she asked hopefully. “If the male and female protagonists go to jail before me, then I will feel better about things. I sincerely pray that the crackdown on pornography and illegal publications will catch them all. Hehehe!”

[Jiaojiao: … Do you have to talk so much when you’re drunk? ! !]

Gou An: “Do you mean everything is okay? Can’t I hope?”

[Jiao Jiao: Don’t drink anymore in the future, please. Quit drinking! ]

Gou An: “…”
