I Called Off the Engagement, and the Officer Next Door Carried Me Home

[Military Marriage] [Sweet Romance] [Rugged Husband Dotes on His Wife]

Su Nian catches her fiancé cheating, wrecks their engagement banquet on the spot, moves out of their love nest that very night, and rents an apartment in an old residential complex.

She thinks the quiet, taciturn security guard next door is a big, burly man with a piercing gaze. Every time they meet, he leaves her on edge.

Until one day, her scumbag ex corners her in the corridor and harasses her. The "security guard" next door kicks the door open, pulls her behind him with one hand, and bellows, "Touch her again and I'll break your legs!"

Only later does she learn that he is no security guard. He's a legendary war hero, the youngest commander in the entire military region, temporarily staying there while on leave.

Later still, pinned against the wall by the man, she hears his rough voice rasp in her ear: "Niannian, don't be afraid of me. Be with me, and I'll protect you for the rest of your life."
