Ding ding dong dong

I didn't expect that the adjutant I deeply loved for years would turn out to be the awe-inspiring young general of South City.
I also didn't expect that his cold demeanor every day was actually because he was willing to serve as my deputy for five years for Song Lian.
He left me behind several times to rescue Song Lian from danger, yet I didn't mind, foolishly believing that love could melt a millennial iceberg.
Until that day, when he used a photo of Song Lian to satisfy his desires, the heart that always beat for him finally died.
I resolutely married his arch-enemy!
But when my wedding announcement was published in the newspaper, he held a gun to his head and threatened death.
He pleaded with me, "Don't marry."

Farewell to the Old Love

When I was five years old, as my mother was about to give birth, Song Lian appeared.


My mother hysterically questioned my father, causing a miscarriage, claiming two lives.


It's said that with a stepmother comes a stepfather.


Since then, I became invisible in this house.


Sleeping, I could only sleep in the storage room.


It wasn't until my mother's savings allowed me to study abroad that I could get away from this family.


Twelve years later, I returned home with permed hair, Song Lian snuggling up to my father's arm.


My heart was already numb, but then Xue Jinwen appeared.


When his broad shoulders blocked malicious rakes for me,


I felt that he was a ray of light that redeemed me.


Even if he was unmoved, I still fell for him like a moth to a flame.


But it turns out... this was all a joke.


Thinking of Xue Jinwen's flushed face, I started retching.


I, Song Zhiwei, am the eldest Miss of the Song Family.


The maternal Bai Family is the top merchant in South City.


People who like me can line up from the Song Mansion gate to France.


Why should I belittle myself for a worthless man?


So, before getting married, I have to stand up for myself.


In the evening, I kicked open Xue Jinwen's door.


"Eight o'clock tomorrow night, go with me to the South City auction."


He frowned slightly, "Tomorrow I will rest..."


His eyes brightened slightly, "Understood, Miss."


Indeed, Song Lian can make him break all his principles and limits.


No problem, very soon, I will make your wish come true.


Personally deliver you to the side of your beloved!


The next day, I attended the auction in a red dress.


Xue Jinwen followed behind me, his upright military uniform accentuating his perfect physique.


In the past, he would always catch my eye, but today I gave him not a glance.


Song Lian's hand climbed onto my arm, which I frowned and pushed away.


Feeling Xue Jinwen's burning gaze from behind, Song Lian's eyes redden slightly.


I had no time to watch her play out a weak act and turned to sit at the VIP seat.


When a blood-red Pigeon Blood Necklace was auctioned, I bid one hundred silver coins.


The next second, Song Lian also bid one hundred and fifty silver coins.


She looked at me with a sweet smile, "Sister, I also like this necklace. Let me have it. Father wouldn't cover your bid."


I ignored her and bid five hundred silver coins again.


Song Lian's eyes filled with tears as if she had suffered enormous grievance.


"Sister, you can't afford this much money. You're disrupting the auction, it'll bring shame to father."


I sneered, "Is that so? But why do I feel it's actually you who can't afford it?"


Even if my father dotes on her, now he can't help it as he gave me five thousand silver coins.


Suddenly, a squad of stern soldiers barged in, the leader loudly announced:


"Major General Xue to light the sky lantern for Second Miss Song!"


An uproar of exclamations shook the surroundings.


"Oh my god! Major General Xue is a distinguished figure in South City, a prodigy among men!"


"Looks like this Second Miss Song is flying high! Better curry favor while you can!"


Song Lian was even more delightful, covering her mouth as if struck by immense joy.


"Can someone tell me where Major General Xue is? I wish to thank him in person."


I coldly turned to look at the person behind me.


His gaze, however, was fixed tenderly on Song Lian.


The vice-general announcing the sky lantern softly said:


"Miss Song, the Major General is busy with official duties, not convenient to meet. A mere sky lantern is no great favor."


Song Lian's face brimmed with pride, unable to restrain the curve at her lips.


"Sister, if you won't give up the auction item, today you might have to bankrupt yourself. After all, in the whole South City, is there anyone richer than Major General Xue?"
