Chapter 898: Chapter 898 Ruined His Face

An Hao held him tightly around his waist, her head resting against his chest, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "It’s all your fault!"

"It’s all my fault, I arrived too late," Qin Jian’s heart ached as he gently stroked An Hao’s hair, soothing her frightened heart.

"It’s all your fault for being so good-looking as a man. Everyone is after you!" An Hao looked up at him with a grievance, "Your charm always disturbs my peace."

"Sorry! Should I make myself look uglier?" Qin Jian joked, pulling out a dagger from his military belt with a swoosh and gesturing at his own face.

"What are you doing?!!" An Hao was startled, quickly clutching at his wrist without letting go, "You’re going to disfigure yourself!"

"Aren’t you complaining that I’m too handsome?" Qin Jian looked down at her, a doting smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "If I make my face uglier, wouldn’t that mean no one else will be interested in me?"

"No way," An Hao immediately retorted, "If it’s ugly, won’t I also find it displeasing to look at?"

"I thought you fell in love with me as a person," Qin Jian frowned slightly.

"But to measure you as a person, the first thing I saw was this face," An Hao said, breaking into laughter. She raised her hand and touched Qin Jian’s face, "Even if you’re willing to destroy it, I can’t bear to let you."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Seeing that this incident hadn’t left much of a shadow in An Hao’s heart, Qin Jian let out a sigh of relief.

"But I have a small request," An Hao pondered and then declared with authority, "From now on, you’re not allowed to smile at other women, only smile at me. Can you do that?"

"Of course."

"Reward." An Hao stood on her tiptoes and planted a light peck on his face, then buried her head in his chest once again.

It was just a playful joke between the couple, but Qin Jian truly took it to heart and adhered to it for life!

Qin Jian safely escorted An Hao back to the military base.

That evening, he called his father, Ning Yibin, to ask for help in investigating the detailed records of past reconnaissance soldiers from the Northern Military Region.

Today, this man had given Qin Jian a whiff of threat.

Intuition told him that this man’s background was not simple, and in order to prevent a similar situation from occurring again,

He had to know both himself and his enemy to be invincible in battle.

Afterward, An Hao also asked Qin Jian if he had gone to see Cheng Yu.

Qin Jian told An Hao about what had happened today, which confirmed An Hao’s guess!

Cheng Yu was evidently bolder than she had imagined; it seemed she would have to be more wary in the future. This woman was the real threat! She absolutely could not fall into her hands!

............

The situation with An Hao was temporarily resolved.

Xin Ni left, and so did Cheng Yu.

She could finally have a few days of peace.

Meanwhile, Gu Shuangshuang followed Tian Niu back to the Niu Family’s hometown.

Tian Niu’s father had already been taken to the local city hospital. The old man was tough as nails.

He had fallen from a cliff and not died.

But with a fractured pelvis, he wouldn’t be able to work for quite some time.

The family had no significant source of income to begin with, and now, not only had they not made any money, but they also faced famine and debts.

Tian Niu put in all the wages he had saved through frugality over the past few months, yet it was still not enough to cover the medical expenses.

Gu Shuangshuang also put in the money An Hao had given her before coming here.

Tian Niu’s father, after surgery, stayed in the intensive care unit for three days before the danger was over and he was transferred to a general ward.
