C6 He Was Poisoned to Death!

"Mrs. Qin, what did you just call me?"

"Miss... Miss Shi, is there a problem?"

"Why are you calling me Miss Shi?" Before I lost consciousness, everyone called me Mrs.

Mrs. Qin replied, "I've always called you Miss Shi. That's what Mr. Fu requested. He might be concerned that calling you Mrs. before you're engaged would upset you, so he..."

Niannian suddenly felt like she was onto something, interrupting Mrs. Qin with urgency and excitement, "What did you say?"

"I said I've always..."

"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking if Fu Chenhan and I aren't married yet?"

"Of course not! You and Mr. Fu aren't married yet, not even engaged. But your engagement party is just a few days away. It was because of the engagement that yesterday you..."

Mrs. Qin hesitated, but Niannian suddenly understood. She had somehow returned to five years ago, just days before her engagement to Fu Chenhan!

Realizing she had traveled back in time explained why Fu Chenhan, Mrs. Qin, and even Shi Ranran seemed different.

Five years ago, her loving father and best friend were still alive, and she had just fallen for Lin Moxu, the deceitful jerk. Lin Moxu, with his superficial charm, was still playing hard to get, and she hadn't yet been betrayed or manipulated into those misleading photos.

Those irreversible damages haven't happened yet, so there's still time to change everything.

"Miss Shi... Miss Shi?"

"Huh?"

Mrs. Qin asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?"

Shi Niannian absentmindedly waved her hand. "No need, you can go now."

"Alright."

Mrs. Qin paused slightly at the corner of the bedroom before leaving. However, Shi Niannian didn't notice.

"Shi Niannian, what nonsense were you just spouting? And what kind of random questions were those? Has Fu Chenhan still not agreed to break off the engagement?" Shi Ranran, feeling ignored, asked with dissatisfaction.

"No, he hasn't agreed," Shi Niannian replied, feigning defeat.

Shi Ranran looked disappointed. "It seems you need to try harder. This time, you didn't hit hard enough to make him realize your determination to end the engagement. Maybe you should try cutting your wrist tomorrow. Make sure the cut is deep enough."

Once again, she was being encouraged to attempt suicide. That was probably their goal—to have her accidentally die while trying to make a scene. They would probably laugh in their dreams if that happened.

Looking back now, whether in the past or present, it seems Fu Chenhan has always been silently protecting her from real harm.

"Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shi Niannian quickly masked the fierce look that had accidentally surfaced in her eyes.

"No need for dramatic gestures like pretending to commit suicide. I have a better plan."

Shi Ranran's attention was instantly captured.

"What plan?"

"Slowly poison him. It kills two birds with one stone."

"What? You want to poison him?"

Shi Ranran was torn inside, though her face showed only surprise. Her mother had urged her many times to persuade Shi Niannian to take action against Fu Chenhan.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it. She still held onto the fantasy that only she was worthy of someone as exceptional as Fu Chenhan. In her eyes, Shi Niannian couldn't even compare to her, let alone deserve someone like him.
