Chapter 43

Luo Bi sighed, recalling a few months ago, who would have thought that she and Feng Ling would have an engagement. The marriage alliance was, in essence, a marriage of convenience, but as long as the benefits remained, the engagement was generally unbreakable. She had no intention of going through with it with Feng Ling, so when he proposed cohabitation, she firmly rejected it.

Marriage? That was even more out of the question.

Luo Bi had her own plans. Her family had arranged for her to temporarily defy, but it was uncertain what would happen in the future. Once a suitable opportunity arose, she would certainly dissolve the engagement. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but the current situation was indeed quite troublesome.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Luo Bi casually dismissed her worries. It was nearly noon, and she wandered to the vegetable patch at the back to pick some vegetables for cooking. Nutritious vegetables were not easy to grow; the young sprouts in the three plots of land were thin-stemmed and yellow-leaved, sparse and scattered. She had to move to several places before she could gather a handful of vegetables.

No matter how poorly the young sprouts grew, they were still nutritious vegetables. But when paired with ordinary seasonings, the taste was astringent and truly not good.

In the afternoon, several groups of people rang the doorbell at Luo Bi's house. With no one answering, the visitors, perhaps in a bad mood, rang the doorbell persistently, taking a long time before they finally left.

Manager Wu Yue finally managed to get through to Luo Bi's communicator and asked, "Why aren't you at work today?"

Luo Bi was extremely depressed: "I'm being watched. I probably can't go to the pharmacy for a while."

"What happened?"

Luo Bi explained the situation. Wu Yue, coming from a prominent family, immediately understood the severity of the issue: "The news of your awakening has just spread, and the situation isn't too bad yet. Quickly get your father and Hua Ran to come back. Without a Thunder Flame Warrior to protect you, if someone has ill intentions, it could be disastrous."

After a moment of hesitation, Wu Yue added: "If you really don't want to be a Contract Master's assistant, I suggest you find Feng Ling. He's a military man and a high-ranking officer. As long as he's willing to protect you, the current troubles won't be an issue."

Luo Bi was silent for a moment before saying, "Feng Ling wants me to marry him."

"Huh?" Wu Yue was surprised for a moment but quickly understood: "If you marry him, the military will find a way to get you into the Contract Master Academy."

The high status and benefits of military personnel have always been envied. Wu Yue listed one by one the advantages of marrying an officer, but no matter how many benefits there were, Luo Bi remained silent, unwilling to marry Feng Ling.

In fact, Feng Ling was outstanding in every aspect. Without Qiu Qiu, marrying Feng Ling would be a match above her station. But the problem was that there had been a Qiu Qiu between her and Feng Ling, and that was an unchangeable fact.

Luo Bi had a severe case of psychological cleanliness. When Feng Ling and Qiu Qiu were dating, she had seen everything. Suddenly turning a friend's ex-boyfriend into her husband, who could bear it?

But the situation was forcing her, and she had few people to turn to. Her father and Hua Ran didn't have the capability, and her grandfather did, but only if she agreed to be Luo Yan's assistant, which was absolutely impossible and out of the question.

As for Wu Yue? Luo Bi directly ruled him out. Wu Yue wasn't just an individual; he represented the Wu family. If the Wu family got involved, there would be conditions, and Luo Bi didn't want to agree to the Wu family's terms.

Be a Contract Master's assistant? Hell no, she would never agree.

After that day, people came to Luo Bi's door every day to talk about the Contract Master assistant position. Luo Bi didn't dare to offend anyone and used delaying tactics to deal with them. Luo Fan and the people from the Executive Hall came to see Luo Bi several times. Luo Bi couldn't afford to offend anyone, so she repeatedly smiled and used evasive tactics until she politely saw them out.
