The new mission of the CEO of the Miraculous Doctor after traveling through time
Chapter 55: Forcing Princess Qiuchan to Get Engaged
Princess Qiuchan locked herself in her room, tears falling like beads from a broken string. She tightly held a delicate sachet that Lei Wei had given her, and his scent still lingered on it.
"Lei Wei, why did you leave like this? Don't you really understand my heart?" Qiu Chan murmured to herself. Lei Wei's figure kept appearing in her mind, his resolute face, his affectionate eyes, and the loneliness when he was knocked down in the martial arts competition.
"Princess, don't be sad anymore. Maybe this is fate." Xiaohuan, the personal maid, whispered.
Qiu Chan raised his tearful eyes and said angrily, "What destiny! The martial arts competition was a trap set by my father. I didn't want Lei Wei to be seriously injured, and I didn't want to humiliate him in public. But now he has gone to Lingxian Mountain, and I don't even have a chance to explain."
Xiao Huan sighed helplessly and was about to persuade him again when she heard a noisy sound of footsteps outside. The door was suddenly pushed open and Qiu Chan's father, the prince, walked in.
"Qiu Chan, what are you doing? Locking yourself in the room all day long, what a shame!" said the prince with a frown.
Qiu Chan wiped away her tears and said stubbornly, "Daddy, why did you do this to me? Why did you set a trap like that?"
The prince's face darkened and he said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Lei Wei is just a nobody, how can he be worthy of your status as a princess. I have already found a marriage for you. Yan Luo, the son of a wealthy businessman in the capital, is a handsome man and is practicing in Lingxian Mountain. His father said that when the time is right, he will let him develop in the army. With their family connections, he will have a bright future in the government in a few years."
When Qiu Chan heard this, he was furious: "I won't marry! I only have Lei Wei in my heart. I will go to Lingxian Mountain to find him and explain everything to him."
The prince was furious: "How dare you! You are a princess, and your marriage is not up to you. Steward, tell them to get the engagement done as soon as possible."
The butler quickly responded, "Yes, sir."
At the urging of the prince, the engagement process was carried out in full swing. Soon, both parties selected an auspicious day to hold the engagement ceremony.
On the day of the engagement ceremony, the place was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was very lively. Qiu Chan was forced by Xiao Huan to wear a gorgeous dress, but there was no trace of joy on her face.
Yan Luo came over in a brocade dress with a proud smile. He looked Qiu Chan up and down and said, "Princess Qiu Chan, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Now that I see you, you are indeed as beautiful as the rumors say."
Qiu Chan looked at him with disgust and said nothing.
Yan Luo didn't care and continued, "Princess, it is my honor to be engaged to you. I, Yan Luo, will definitely treat you well."
Qiu Chan said coldly: "Don't be too happy too soon, I won't marry you."
Yan Luo's expression changed slightly, but she still forced a smile and said, "Princess, you are joking. This marriage was arranged by the prince himself."
At this time, the engagement ceremony officially began. The prince and Yan Luo's father, Yan Fushang, stood on the stage with smiles on their faces.
The prince said: "Today is a good day for my daughter Qiu Chan and Master Yan Luo to get engaged. I hope they can live happily together and have a son soon."
There was cheers and applause from the audience.
Qiu Chan watched everything on the stage, her anger growing stronger and stronger. She suddenly broke free from Xiao Huan's hand and rushed onto the stage.
"I won't marry! I don't agree to this marriage!" Qiu Chan shouted loudly.
The prince's face instantly turned livid: "Qiu Chan, stop messing around!"
Qiu Chan burst into tears: "Dad, I really can't marry this man. I only have Lei Wei in my heart."
Yan Luo heard Lei Wei's name and suddenly felt jealous and resentful. He gritted his teeth and said, "So the princess's sweetheart is that guy Lei Wei. Humph, I, Yan Luo, will not let this go."
Qiu Chan glanced at him and said, "Don't think you can threaten me. I will never marry you even if I die."
As he spoke, Qiu Chan pulled out a hairpin from his head and put it against his neck: "Daddy, if you force me, I will die here."
Seeing this, the prince was horrified and said, "Qiu Chan, put down the hairpin quickly and talk nicely."
Yan Fushang also said quickly: "Princess, this is not possible. We can discuss the engagement later."
Qiu Chan said, "I don't care. I just won't get married."
The prince had no choice but to say to the wealthy businessman Yan: "Brother Yan, it seems that the engagement can only be postponed."
Although Mr. Yan was unhappy, he could only nod in agreement.
The engagement ceremony was ruined by Qiu Chan, and the prince left in anger.
Yan Luo had a gloomy face and secretly vowed in his heart that he must get Qiu Chan and make Lei Wei suffer.
After returning to the room, Qiu Chan said to Xiao Huan: "Xiao Huan, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must go to Lingxian Mountain to find Lei Wei."
Xiao Huan said worriedly: "Princess, this is too dangerous. Lingxian Mountain is a long way away, and the situation on the mountain is complicated. What if we encounter any danger?"
Qiu Chan said firmly: "I am not afraid. I will go no matter how dangerous it is. I cannot lose Lei Wei."
So Qiu Chan began to prepare quietly. She packed some luggage, took some dry food and water, and set off for Lingxian Mountain with Xiaohuan.
They traveled all the way, and one day, they came to a remote mountain forest trail. There was no one around, and the grass and trees were thick. Suddenly, a group of masked bandits jumped out from the woods on both sides. These bandits all had fierce looks on their faces and held weapons.
"Hey, where did this young lady come from? She has delicate skin and tender flesh. She must have a lot of valuable things on her." A gangster said with a strange smile.
Xiao Huan was so scared that she hid behind Qiu Chan, trembling. Although Qiu Chan was scared, she still pretended to be calm: "You villains, do you know who I am? How dare you be rude to this princess."
The gangster laughed: "Princess? Even if you are a princess, no one can save you in this wilderness." Then he pounced on her.
Qiu Chan and Xiao Huan were panicked. At this critical moment, they heard a loud shout, "Stop being so arrogant, you evil villain!" and a figure came flying like lightning.
The man who came was a knight in white, holding a long sword and looking agile. He fought with the gangsters with his sword as swift as a dragon. Although the gangsters were numerous, they were no match for the knight's sharp swordsmanship and soon fell to the ground one after another.
The knight sheathed his sword, walked up to Qiu Chan, and bowed slightly: "Young lady, are you frightened? It's too unsafe for two weak women like you to walk in this wilderness."
Qiu Chan looked at the knight with gratitude and said, "Thank you for saving my life, I am very grateful."
The knight waved his hand and said, "When we see injustice, we should help. Where are you going, young lady?"
Qiu Chan said, "I am going to Lingxian Mountain to look for my sweetheart."
The knight nodded slightly: "The journey to Lingxian Mountain is long and there will be many dangers along the way, so you must be careful."
After Qiu Chan thanked him again, he and Xiao Huan continued on their journey.
On the other side, Yan Luo was not idle either. He wanted to catch up with Qiu Chan as soon as possible to stop her from going to Lingxian Mountain to meet Lei Wei.
"Lei Wei, you took away my sweetheart, I will not let you go. I will embarrass you on Lingxian Mountain and let Qiu Chan see how miserable you are." Yan Luo said viciously.
On Lingxian Mountain, Lei Wei was practicing martial arts diligently. Although he still had a little concern for Qiu Chan in his heart, he also understood that he had to become stronger in order to protect himself and his beloved.
"Lei Wei, are you thinking about Princess Qiu Chan again?" Lei Wei's senior brother said jokingly.
Lei Wei blushed slightly and said, "No, I'm just thinking about how to improve my martial arts."
The senior brother smiled and said, "Don't be so stubborn. I can see your feelings for the princess. However, you have to know that you are not strong enough now. You still have a long way to go."
Lei Wei nodded and said, "I know, Senior Brother, I will try my best."
