"What?"

Qin Zheng replied to her, but his hands didn't stop, wandering lightly over Ye Yun's back.

The calluses on his palms rubbed against Ye Yun's delicate back, causing a tingling sensation. Ye Yun shifted uncomfortably, only to be held even tighter by him.

She was being hugged so tightly she could hardly breathe. "It's about... what your team members came to talk to you about today."

Qin Zheng paused.

"Do you know what it is?" he asked, somewhat curiously.

Ye Yun was speechless. "What do you think your good brother's sister was arguing with me about in the yard?"

At this point, she gently poked the man's chest, teasing him as if to say in a soft, coquettish voice, "I've already told you, this is your chance. After you finish this mission, you're going to go to the city to develop your career. You won't want a nobody like me anymore then..."

"Nonsense!"

Qin Zheng immediately hugged her tightly, saying anxiously, "Wife, don't listen to their nonsense. I will always put you first. Whether we move to the city or not, I'll be wherever you are. I could never abandon you in this lifetime!"

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Look how scared you are..." She stopped teasing him, put her arm around his shoulder, and looked at him seriously in the light of the kerosene lamp. "So, are you planning to go?"

Qin Zheng remained silent.

He looked at Ye Yun's face as well, blinked, and a hint of confusion crossed his strong features, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Honey, what do you think?"

"Me?" Ye Yun paused for two seconds, then gently tapped the hand on his shoulder. "This is all I can tell you. This is indeed your opportunity. If you go, you will definitely make a contribution, and your status and position will rise to a higher level. That's the truth."

However, you can also get hurt.

There are no easy tasks in your area. In fact, this task might be very dangerous, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone to find you before your vacation was even over.

Everything has two sides; if something is good for you, it must also be bad.

You're asking me to make the decision for you? I don't feel qualified. This is your path, and all I can say is that whatever choice you make, I will support you unconditionally.

Qin Zheng was momentarily dazed.

What Ye Yun is saying now is just like what she said before: unconditionally believing in his character.

After realizing what was happening, Qin Zheng hugged the soft, warm body in his arms even tighter.

"Qin...Qin Zheng..." Ye Yun felt like she was being strangled. She struggled to reach out her small hand and couldn't help but tap the man's hard head.

Is this man... looking to find someone else?

Qin Zheng suddenly realized what was happening and let go of her, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Sorry, honey, I lost control."

Ye Yun couldn't help but cough, "..."

As long as it wasn't intentional.

"Honey, I actually don't want to go this time," Qin Zheng finally said hesitantly.

If it were before, he would have agreed without hesitation.

Previously, he was all alone and had no worries. He always went all out on every mission, so ruthless that the enemy was terrified. That's why he was able to complete many difficult missions that others couldn't.

But things are different now.

After he gets married, he starts to think, "What will happen to my wife if I get into trouble outside?"

"Honey, will you dislike me? Will you think I'm irresponsible?" Qin Zheng held her hand and asked with an embarrassed look.

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.

She quickly snapped out of her reverie after Qin Zheng's words and shook her head, saying, "No."

She didn't feel that he lacked responsibility at all; on the contrary, she felt relieved after hearing Qin Zheng's words.

She had to admit that she had been selfish in this matter.

She hoped that Qin Zheng could stay with her in the small mountain village and live out his life peacefully. Fame and fortune were not important to her.

"But I still agreed."

Qin Zheng suddenly said seriously.

Ye Yun was stunned: "??!"

Dude, are you kidding me?
