Chapter 109 Qin Lie's Confession! I only want you in this lifetime!

On Saturday night, the military club was brightly lit.

The melodious waltz music echoed in the spacious ballroom.

Young officers in crisp military uniforms and girls dressed in their finest attire danced gracefully on the dance floor.

The air was filled with youthful hormones and a faint scent of perfume.

This is a social ball for the capital's elite circles.

Behind every smiling face may lie an exchange of interests and the building of connections.

Qin Lie was also wearing a brand-new military officer's uniform today, the stars on his shoulders shining brightly under the lights.

He was already tall and handsome, and at this moment he appeared even more imposing and extraordinary.

Upon entering, he immediately became the center of attention.

Many girls' eyes were glued to him, as if hooked.

But Qin Lie ignored those ardent gazes.

There is only one person in his eyes.

His wife, Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu wore a sky-blue dress today. The design was drawn by herself; it was simple and elegant, yet exuded an indescribable refinement in the details.

The dress perfectly accentuated her slender waist, which had recovered remarkably well after childbirth.

She wasn't wearing makeup, just a thin layer of lipstick, yet she looked more elegant and refined than any of the heavily made-up girls in the room.

She sat quietly on the sofa in the corner, holding a glass of juice, smiling gently as she watched the crowd on the dance floor.

Like a white lotus, standing alone in the world.

"Wife, aren't you going to dance?" Qin Lie walked over and sat down next to her.

"I'm not going." Jiang Wu shook her head. "I can't ballroom dance."

"I'll teach you."

"No." Jiang Wu glanced at him, a mischievous smile on her lips. "I'm afraid I might accidentally step on Deputy Division Commander Qin's foot and embarrass you."

Qin Lie was amused by her. He reached out and took her hand, which was resting on the sofa.

"My pleasure."

The two sat in a corner, whispering to each other, oblivious to everyone around them. Their intimate manner broke the hearts of many girls secretly observing from a distance.

Especially Lu Yao.

She was the center of attention today.

She wore a bright red long dress that she had asked someone to buy for her in Hong Kong; the V-neck design was bold and sexy.

With her meticulously styled wavy hair and exquisite makeup, she resembled a burning flame, attracting the attention of all men.

But her gaze remained fixed on Qin Lie in the corner.

When she saw Qin Lie and Jiang Wu being so intimate, her heart felt like it had been bitten by a venomous snake.

On what grounds?!

What's so great about that country woman?!

In terms of family background, appearance, and education, in what way can she compare to me?!

The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in Lu Yao's heart.

She picked up two glasses of champagne, took a deep breath, and put on a perfect smile again. With elegant steps, she walked towards Qin Lie and Jiang Wu.

"Brother Qin Lie, sister-in-law, why don't you go dancing? It's so boring sitting here."

Lu Yao's voice was still as sweet and charming as ever.

She handed one of the glasses of champagne to Qin Lie.

"Brother Qin Lie, let me toast you. Congratulations on your promotion, and... congratulations on your long and happy marriage with your wife."

She offered her blessings, but her large, watery eyes stared intently at Qin Lie with a hint of melancholy.

This pitiful look of hers is enough to soften any man's heart.

The air around us seemed to become ambiguous.

Many people stopped talking, pricked up their ears, and prepared to watch a good show.

Qin Lie didn't even glance at her.

His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Wu's face.

He didn't even accept the glass of champagne.

The scene was quite awkward at one point.

Lu Yao's hand, holding the wine glass, froze in mid-air.

The smile on her face was about to fade.

"Brother Qin Lie..." she called out again, her voice trembling with tears.

Qin Lie then impatiently raised his head.

He looked at Lu Yao with a completely cold gaze, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.

“Miss Lu,” he said, his voice as cold as ice.

"First of all, we're not familiar with each other, so please don't call me 'Brother Qin Lie,' I can't accept that title."

"Secondly, my wife is here, and I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings. So please stay away from me as well."

"Third, and most importantly."

Qin Lie slowly stood up; he was more than a head taller than Lu Yao.

Looking down at her, he exuded a powerful yet cold sense of oppression befitting a soldier.

"In this life, I, Qin Lie, belong to my beloved Jiang Wu, whether I live or die."

"Apart from her, any other woman is no different from a roadside stone in my eyes."

"So please put away those inappropriate little thoughts of yours."

"Don't disturb our married life, and don't try to challenge my wife's position."

"Because you don't deserve it."

A resounding statement!

Show no mercy!

Qin Lie's words were like a resounding slap in the face to Lu Yao.

It was like a thunderclap, exploding throughout the entire dance hall.

Everyone was stunned.

They've seen people who defend their own, but they've never seen anyone defend their own like this!

This is practically a declaration that "I am not interested in women, I only love my wife" is etched on his face and broadcast to the whole world through a loudspeaker!

Lu Yao's face instantly lost all color, turning as pale as paper.

She stared at Qin Lie in disbelief, her body swaying precariously.

She never imagined that Qin Lie would reject her in such a decisive and humiliating way in front of so many people!

A suppressed murmur arose from the surroundings.

Those gazes held sympathy and pity, but more so schadenfreude and a desire to see someone make a fool of themselves.

Lu Yao felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into public.

All pride and self-esteem were crushed to pieces at this moment.

"Wow--"

She finally couldn't bear it any longer, covered her face, let out a mournful cry, and turned and ran out of the dance hall.

A meticulously planned "offensive" turned into a farcical spectacle.

After saying those words, Qin Lie didn't even give Lu Yao a second glance.

He sat back down next to Jiang Wu, as if nothing had happened.

He took Jiang Wu's hand, placed it to his lips, and gently kissed it.

Then, in a hoarse yet extremely solemn voice, he said:

"Jiang Wu, listen to me."

"I don't care what your background is, or what secrets you have."

All I know is that you gave me my life.

"You gave my two children their lives."

"I, Qin Lie, owe you so much in this life that I can never repay you in the next, or the life after that."

"So, from now on, I will never let you suffer even the slightest grievance again."

"Whoever dares to make you unhappy, I'll make sure they're unhappy for the rest of their lives!"

"In this world, only I can bully you."

"Only I have the right to be bullied by you."

He looked into Jiang Wu's eyes and said, word by word:

"I love you, Jiang Wu."

"In this life, I only want you."

Jiang Wu felt as if something had struck her heart heavily.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

This man...

This man is domineering, childish, and incredibly affectionate.

She reached out and touched his sharply defined cheek.

"Qin Lie".

"Me too."
