After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly

Returning the Token

　　Gu Qingan started packing his luggage after the training. He had already bought a ticket for the evening train. This time, he went back to see his family and to break off the engagement with Ling Yao. He didn't like Ling Yao and didn't want to spend his life with someone he didn't like in the future.
　　
　　Thinking of Ling Yao, he couldn't help but frown. Before he joined the army, he had told Ling Yao that he didn't like her anymore and asked her not to take the engagement seriously, but Ling Yao didn't listen at all, saying that it was the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Now it's a new era, and what matters is freedom of marriage. This feudal dregs should have been abolished long ago.
　　
　　"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
　　
　　Gu Qingan stopped packing his luggage and went forward to open the door. He saw a pretty girl standing outside the door, "Comrade Xu, why are you here?"
　　
　　Xu Juanjuan smiled shyly and handed a lunch box in her arms to Gu Qingan, "I heard from my brother that you are going back to your hometown. This is the snack I made for you. You can eat it on the way." She fell in love with Gu Qingan from the first sight.
　　
　　"Thank you! I have prepared delicious food." Gu Qing'an refused with a smile. He knew that Xu Juanjuan liked him, and he also had some feelings for her, but he was still engaged.
　　
　　"Brother Gu, do you hate me?" Xu Juanjuan's eyes suddenly turned red.
　　
　　"No... no, how could I hate you, I'll just accept it, don't cry." Gu Qing'an reached out to take the lunch box.
　　
　　Xu Juanjuan raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and showed a bright smile to Gu Qing'an, "Brother Gu, I wish you a safe journey, I'll go back first."
　　
　　"Okay." Gu Qing'an watched Xu Juanjuan leave, retracted his gaze to look at the lunch box in his hand, shook his head and smiled. This time when he goes back, he will cancel the engagement with Ling Yao no matter what, whether she makes a fuss or cries, he will not be soft-hearted.
　　
　　The Gu family was very happy to get the news that Gu Qing'an was coming back, especially Gu Lili.
　　
　　She heard that her elder brother came back this time to break off the engagement with the ugly Ling Yao. She had long disliked Ling Yao. How could someone as ugly and fat as Ling Yao be worthy of her elder brother? Her elder brother is now a company commander. Even if he doesn't marry a daughter of an official family, he must marry a daughter of a rich family in the city.
　　
　　Humming a song, she came to Ling Yao's house. Seeing Ling Yao carrying a backpack and about to go out, Gu Lili stepped forward to stop her and said proudly: "Ling Yao, my elder brother is coming back soon. Do you know what he is doing this time? He is here to break off the engagement with you. I advise you to be sensible and not affect my elder brother's future."
　　
　　Ling Yao looked at Gu Lili coldly. In her previous life, Gu Lili relied on the fact that she was Gu Qing'an's sister and had tortured her a lot. She even teamed up with Zhou Yu to secretly plot against her. She also contributed to her miscarriage and imprisonment.
　　
　　"Why are you looking at me like this?" Facing Ling Yao's cold gaze, Gu Lili suddenly felt breathless and took two steps back involuntarily.
　　
　　"Even if all the men in the world died and only your brother was left, I wouldn't even look at him." As she spoke, Ling Yao took out the token of the engagement between the two families from her pocket and threw it to Gu Lili, "Take it, I won't send you off."
　　
　　Before Gu Lili could come to her senses, Ling Yao had already turned and left. She was going to the mountains. It was on this day in her previous life that she saved Zhou Yu in the mountains and brought her home, but in this life she would only watch from the sidelines.
　　
　　"Ling Yao, don't regret it." Gu Lili reacted, bent down to pick up the silver bracelet on the ground, wiped the dust off it and put it on her wrist. Her elder brother is so outstanding, he is already a company commander at a young age, and his future is definitely limitless. Ling Yao is just being angry now, and she will definitely regret it later. But regret is useless, her elder brother will not be soft-hearted.
　　
　　After taking a look at the silver bracelet on her wrist, Gu Lili hummed a song as she walked home. When her elder brother comes back, she will tell him the good news, and he will be very happy.
　　
　　Ling Yao carried a backpack and walked up the mountain, following her memory of the place where she met Zhou Yu.
　　
　　After finding the trap where Zhou Yu fell, Ling Yao put the pre-prepared trap into the trap, and then covered the trap with a layer of weeds. After
　　
　　doing all this, Ling Yao walked to a big tree not far away and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the prey.
　　
　　After waiting for a while, a voice calling for help came from a distance.
　　
　　Ling Yao looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Zhou Yu with messy hair and mud all over his clothes, stumbling towards this direction. Finally here, Zhou Yu, I will never save you again in this life, I will only watch you fall into the abyss.
　　
　　Soon, a scream was heard, and Ling Yao curled the corners of her lips, she knew that Zhou Yu had fallen into the trap.
　　
　　As soon as Zhou Yu fell into the trap, her feet were caught by the trap. She bled profusely, but she didn't dare to scream because the two men would find her. She endured the pain and covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
　　
　　Ling Yao saw two men running towards this side, pretending to be picking herbs.
　　
　　"Hey, have you seen a girl?" The two men stopped when they saw Ling Yao.
　　
　　Ling Yao deliberately glanced at the trap not far away, then shook her head in panic, "I didn't see it, I don't know."
　　
　　After saying that, she ran away in a panic. She knew that the two men were human traffickers. In her previous life, Zhou Yu told her that her father was a gambler and sold her to human traffickers when he lost money and couldn't pay it back. In her previous life, she was kind and deliberately led the human traffickers away to save Zhou Yu. In this life, she would only respect the fate of others.
　　
　　The two men also found the trap. When they walked to the trap and looked down, they saw Zhou Yu curled up in the trap.
　　
　　Zhou Yu knew that she was discovered, so she stopped resisting and let the two human traffickers pull her out of the trap. Now her feet were caught in a trap, and it was useless to resist.
　　
　　Ling Yao watched from a distance, and saw Zhou Yu being taken away by two human traffickers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. If killing was not illegal, she would never let Zhou Yu go.
　　
　　Retracting her sight, Ling Yao walked towards the mountain. She remembered that the day after she saved Zhou Yu in her previous life, Uncle Liu from the village dug up a hundred-year-old wild ginseng in the mountain and sold it for several thousand yuan.
　　
　　Now that she was reborn, she would naturally not give this opportunity to others.
　　
　　Ling Yao shuttled through the mountains and forests, and her senses became extremely sharp. Suddenly, she smelled a familiar smell, which was the fragrance of ginseng. This smell was very familiar to Ling Yao, as if it was the call of an old friend. She had an extraordinary sensitivity to the smell of herbs since she was a child, and she could accurately identify it with just one sniff.
　　
　　Following the tempting smell, Ling Yao walked forward quickly. Sure enough, not long after, she saw a wild ginseng behind a big tree.
　　
　　Ling Yao took off the backpack behind her, took out the ginseng digging tools she had prepared in advance, and began to dig ginseng carefully. She first used a hoe to dig up the surrounding soil, revealing the main root of the ginseng. Then, she used a small shovel to carefully dig away the soil around the main root little by little until the entire ginseng was exposed. Finally, she tied the main root and fibrous roots of the ginseng together with a thin rope and put them in the backpack.
