DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -16

The woman that the male lead had let off was Chou Tzuyu and was currently cutting a sorry figure trying to hide from the pursuit of Prince Jeon’s people. However, it was clear that she had done her research on how to escape Prince Jeon’s complex. After jumping out of the water, she slipped into a wooden hut that she had set up and changed back into the clothes of a woman.

Once she turned back into a woman, the pursuers lost their target and began to mill around aimlessly. Things were progressing smoothly, but she felt rather depressed. Wasn’t that fiancè of hers too violent? He had ordered a girl to be beaten to death. Although he had been born with a handsome appearance, he was pretending to be something he wasn’t and that frightened her.

Also, the woman she had been talking to must have been his concubine. She hadn’t thought that she would be that beautiful. With such a beautiful concubine, would he even take a second look at her after marriage?

Not, she thought. After she finished changing into her female disguise, she returned home.

As she entered her courtyard, she was greeted by a snow-white figure. Startled, she was about to leave when the white figure spoke, “Younger cousin, are you still going to run?”

“Uh, older cousin, how did you know it was me?” Tzuyu walked back, a sheepish smile on her face.

“How could I possibly mistake you? I told you that it’s not a good idea to provoke Prince Jeon, but you still went anyway. How was it? Are you satisfied with your fiance? Based on looks, he’s ranked amongst the top.” Chou Jackson was almost sneering as he spoke. He’d adored his younger cousin for many years, and hadn’t thought that his aunt would match her with that cold-hearted killer.

Distress showed on Tzuyu’s face before she threw herself into her older cousin’s arms, crying. “Cousin, that man… he’s really scary. He killed someone without batting an eye, he beat a girl to death with staves. And, and… the woman in his rear court is both beautiful and kind. He won’t even take a look at me. What should I do, what should I do? I don’t want to marry him, I don’t want to.”

Jackson patted her head while his heart ached for her. He said tenderly, “I know, I’ll help you.”

“Cousin, could you help me escape this marriage? I just want to hide for some time so I don’t have to marry him anymore.”

Her tears had soaked into his clothing, making Jackson feel even more sorry for her. Helpless, he said, “Alright, I’ll do anything for you.”

Tzuyu nodded in gratitude before continuing to hide and cry in Jackson's arms. When she thought about Prince Jeon’s sharp gaze, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Lisa was currently gardening outside her room. Recently, she had been planting things in the garden of her courtyard whenever she had the time.

However, the weather was a little too cold, so she couldn’t plant too many things. After she was tired of fiddling with plants, she went back to talk to the cactus Mang. She then found a soft shoot growing out from Mang's body. Was it about to branch off?

“Itchy, it’s itchy…” Mang wasn’t used to the newly sprouted shoot and kept complaining that it was itchy.

“Just hang in there. Once it grows bigger, you’ll have a companion.” Lisa felt that Mang's voice had matured a little, but it was still a little child’s voice.

“Enduring. Mang is enduring. But Mang wants to feel the breeze, wants sunlight.” Mang always acted cute towards Lisa. She had no other choice but to move it to the windowsill and open the window so Mang could bask in the sunlight and the breeze.
