Nangong Yan had been having a hard time lately. Every night, as soon as he closed his eyes, a figure would appear, hovering in front of him.
However, he wasn’t seeing a ghost, because he recognized the figure he was seeing.
It was Chen Qing—Mr. Chen.
Once again, Nangong Yan awoke from his dreams, his face flushed, his mouth dry, and his body uncomfortably warm.
Blushing, he slowly recalled the dream from the previous night, feeling even more heated as he did so.
Ever since his condition had improved, he found himself losing interest in all women. At first, he wondered if perhaps even after being cured, something was still wrong. But ever since he started dreaming about Mr. Chen Qing, he began to think otherwise.
Nangong Yan sat dazedly at the edge of his bed, a mix of excitement and frustration swirling within him.
“Could it be… I like Mr. Chen?”
Realizing this possibility, Nangong Yan felt both panicked and thrilled.
He was anxious—how could he suddenly develop feelings for a man?
But on the other hand, he found himself thinking about how adorable Mr. Chen Qing was… How that frail, delicate body of his seemed to need a strong man like himself to protect him.
With that thought, Nangong Yan felt a surge of energy and made an important decision in his heart!
That same day.
The Nangong family sent several carriages loaded with gifts to Wen’s Medical Clinic.
“I want to break off the engagement.”
What?!
Break off the engagement?!
Everyone at Wen’s Medical Clinic was stunned.
The Wen family members looked as if they had seen a ghost.
When Nangong Yan and Wen Qingchen had first gotten engaged, it had been the talk of the town, a grand event in Tang City!
But how long had it been since then?
Now, Nangong Yan was asking to annul the marriage contract with Wen Qingchen?!
The Wen family was immediately anxious. The real Wen Qingchen and her brother were still missing, and they desperately needed the power of the Nangong family to help track them down. If Nangong Yan broke off the engagement now, it would mean losing such a powerful ally!
“Young Master Nangong, why are you suddenly…” Wen Zhaoping’s face turned sour, and he deliberately lowered his voice, “Don’t you still want the divine medicine?”
Nangong Yan thought to himself: Why would I need divine medicine? My illness has already been cured by the god in my dreams. What do I need divine medicine for?
Nangong Yan snorted coldly, “After all the things Wen Qingchen did to Sai Hua Tuo Medical Clinic, do you think she’s still worthy of being with me?”
Wen Zhaoping’s expression became even more unpleasant.
Nangong Yan held his head high, with an air of superiority: “I’m not leaving you empty-handed. These gifts are your compensation, so don’t be ungrateful!”
With that, Nangong Yan strutted out, leaving the Wen family members with dark expressions.
The only person who was happy about this was Wen Xin.
After all, since Wen Qingchen was the one engaged to Nangong Yan in name, if they broke off the engagement, she would still have a chance!
Soon, the news of Nangong Yan personally breaking off the engagement spread like wildfire throughout the city.
The entire city was abuzz with discussion. This couple, who had been considered a perfect match, had annulled their engagement in less than two months—how extraordinary!
But when people recalled how “Wen Qingchen” had framed Sai Hua Tuo Medical Clinic before, they felt it was only natural. Miss Qingchen had shown poor character, so it made sense for Nangong Yan to end the engagement.
As a result, Wen Qingchen’s reputation shifted from that of a highly esteemed daughter of a divine physician to someone who was viewed with mixed feelings.
The people of Tang City didn’t think Nangong Yan had done anything wrong; after all, it was “Wen Qingchen” who had first tried to frame others.
However, when this news reached Sai Hua Tuo Medical Clinic, Wen Huanzhi was so furious that he smashed a cabinet.
“How dare he! How dare he ruin Chen’er’s reputation like this!”
Wen Qingchen also felt exasperated. She was being blamed for something she hadn’t even done.
Unaware of the true circumstances, Nangong Yan, having sorted out his feelings, brought various precious gifts to the clinic to see Wen Qingchen.
But as soon as he walked through the door, Wen Huanzhi angrily drove him out.
“Get out! If you dare come back, I’ll break your legs!”
Nangong Yan: “?????”
