This was not a skill that an ordinary girl from the mountains could possess.
Therefore, before they were married and everything was set in stone, he was afraid of knowing her real identity.
After all, he was a soldier, and it was because of this identity that he was bound by many restrictions.
Hence, he was afraid that she possessed an identity that was considered unacceptable by the military.
If that was the case, he would be at a loss of whether he should report this information to the military base.
Therefore, he would rather stay in the dark forever.
If he must know, he would wait until they got married first…

After the driver rescued Gu Mingyan from the garbage dump, she fell ill immediately after suffering from physical damage, mental trauma, and stinky stenches—the three blows came crashing down on her all at once. She called the Gu family and told them that she could not do anything to Selina for the time being. Then, she took a private plane that flew straight back to Emperor District.
The head of the Gu family immediately called Gu Mingzhe and informed him that the Gu family would not be able to hold their ground any longer, requesting him to come up with another way as swiftly as possible.
At this moment, the entire Zhong family was down in the dumps. Jiang Shuwan was so mad that she kept slamming her cup onto the table while directing a continuous bunch of curses toward Zhong Nuannuan.
She basically called Zhong Nuannuan a slut, an ingrate, a traitor, a bastard who abandoned her family after getting a man et cetera. Gu Mingzhe frowned as he listened to her.
“Mom, isn’t Zhong Nuannuan your biological daughter?” Gu Mingzhe asked. In truth, he had yet to understand what kind of role Jiang Shuwan had in Zhong Nuannuan’s life.
Zhong Qianqian was Nangong Yu’s daughter, and Zhong Nuannuan was Jiang Shuwan’s daughter. Yet, why in the world that it felt like Zhong Qianqian was really Jiang Shuwan’s daughter?
Jiang Shuwan coughed out a dry laugh and retained the same disgusted tone when she spoke about Zhong Nuannuan. “She’s my daughter? Does she acknowledge me as her mother? Who accompanied me when I was hospitalized? Mingzhe, let me tell you, although Zhong Nuannuan is my daughter, I don’t think she can compare to Qianqian at all. She’d think of me as her mother only if I was still breastfeeding her. She’s an ingrate who forgets her family once she has a man!”
Gu Mingzhe thought, ‘Really?’ Why did he feel that Zhong Qianqian was the one who could not come up to par with a single strand on Zhong Nuannuan’s hair?
“Brother Mingzhe, what did your aunt say?”
Gu Mingzhe frowned. “Selina is too stubborn. She’s vengeful at my aunt for abandoning her, so she threw my aunt into the garbage can and sent her to the dump.”
Zhong Qianqian, “…”
Zhong Kuijun, “…”
Jiang Shuwan, “…”
“Now we can only rely on your elder brother. If your brother can’t handle it, you’ll immediately come with me to Emperor District. Once we get to Emperor District, there will be a way.”
Zhong Qianqian nodded. “Alright, I’ll give him a call and see how he’s doing.”
Then, Zhong Qianqian called Jiang Hongyi.
Jiang Hongyi hung up as soon as the phone rang. Soon, a message came.
[Still working on it.]
Zhong Qianqian glanced at Gu Mingzhe. Gu Mingzhe frowned. “Didn’t you say you wanted to confess? Why doesn’t this look like a confession?”
Zhong Qianqian answered gleefully, “My elder brother’s confession failed. Why would he do that again?”
“Then, what does he mean when he said he’s working on it?” Gu Mingzhe’s eyes widened. A sense of impending doom washed over him.
“My brother found someone to attack Selina on the street. If they can subdue Selina, my brother will rush out to save the damsel in distress. What do you think? It’s a brilliant idea, isn’t it?”
When Gu Mingzhe heard Zhong Qianqian’s words, his mouth could not help but twitch violently.
His twitching got so out of hand his eyes started twitching too.
