"I'm going to the hospital to find him! Since his mother has gone to such lengths, why should I give him any face? We can't let him be bullied like this. His mother has to apologize to you for this!" Tian Xiaohui said angrily, gritting her teeth, her breathing trembling slightly.

This girl is genuinely speaking up for her.

Ye Yun patted Tian Xiaohui's shoulder and gently comforted her, "His mother will naturally pay the price for what she did, you don't need to worry about that. But you're so resolute, don't you feel sorry for Xing Yujie?"

Tian Xiaohui was speechless for a moment.

After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "What's the use of me feeling sorry for him? He can't even make his own decisions about his marriage. Even if I marry him, I'm afraid the days ahead will be even harder."

"Just like Brother Qin Zheng said, it's not like I can't get married, I don't need to jump into a fire pit."

"Actually, I feel sorry for him too. He told me that he grew up with his grandparents. A few years ago, his grandparents had an accident together, so he moved back to live with his parents. He wasn't that close to his parents, but the pressure of filial piety weighed him down, and he didn't have much say in many things..."

I see.

Ye Yun suddenly realized why she always felt that Xing Yujie's family was strange.

As a promising young soldier in the military region, Xing Yujie is upright and kind, making him a good candidate.

The Xing family, on the other hand, was far inferior.

The father of the criminal is currently unknown.

Xing Yuzhen is cunning and calculating.

Needless to say, Xing's mother was also involved.

He's a snob, full of tricks. If he can't win a fight openly, he'll resort to underhanded tactics.

So we're not family after all.

Seeing the tears glistening in Tian Xiaohui's eyes, Ye Yun wiped them away, patted her shoulder, and said, "You don't need to worry about Xing Yujie's matter. Since I've taken care of your affairs, I'll see it through to the end. Just focus on living your life."

"ah?"

Tian Xiaohui was still a little confused when Ye Yun entered the house, only to find that Zheng Song was not there.

"Wasn't Zheng Song with you?"

She walked to the table, poured herself a cup of hot water, took a small sip, and looked at Tian Xiaohui, who was still standing at the door.

He had to leave early.

Tian Xiaohui immediately replied.

Ye Yun responded with an "oh".

Perhaps because Tian Xiaohui and Zheng Song were together yesterday, their relationship had improved. Today, Zheng Song was on vacation, so he came to see Tian Xiaohui as soon as possible.

She and Qin Zheng just left, leaving Zheng Song to keep Tian Xiaohui company. Where did they go now?

Tian Xiaohui shrugged and said, puzzled, "I don't know either. Someone suddenly came looking for him. I don't know what his parents said. Zheng Song told me something and then left. But the person who came looking for him was wearing a suit, so I guess they were from their patrol team."

Ye Yun understood.

Being a police officer is a tough job. Even on days off, there are always surprises that require them to return to the station. They can't even spend a day with their families in peace. So it's only natural that Zheng Song would suddenly disappear.

"I don't know what he's doing... He said he was coming to keep me company, but he just ran away like that." Tian Xiaohui lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and muttered her dissatisfaction.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun's brows furrowed slightly.

“Xiao Hui, if you’re with Zheng Song, this kind of thing will become very common in the future.”

"ah?"

Tian Xiaohui suddenly raised her head, her mouth slightly open, her eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

“His job is like this.” Ye Yun nodded, her expression serious: “Responsibility outweighs obligation. His job is to protect the lives of ordinary people. Thieves, robberies, and human trafficking can all escalate into life-threatening situations. So no matter where he is, he has to go wherever the safety of ordinary people needs him.”

Tian Xiaohui was dumbfounded.

After a long pause, she managed a stiff smile and said, "So he doesn't even have time to spend with his family? What's the point of me dating him? Am I supposed to be out chasing criminals while I'm having my baby? I'm not doing that. Isn't Brother Qin Zheng setting me up?"

Ye Yun's face darkened. "So you think Xing Yujie can be with you when you give birth?"

His tone suddenly turned somber, filled with displeasure.

Tian Xiaohui couldn't help but shrink her neck, subconsciously taking a step back and cautiously looking at her.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be angry..." She realized she had said the wrong thing and apologized in a low voice, "I didn't mean to, it was just a slip of the tongue, I didn't mean to attack Brother Qin Zheng..."

Ye Yun glanced at her indifferently.

She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Tian Xiaohui felt even more uneasy.

What I fear most is Ye Yun's silent, cold gaze, her icy stare seemingly tangible, capable of crushing a person's very spine.

She knew that Ye Yun couldn't stand hearing people speak ill of Qin Zheng.

She had previously said she wanted to find a marriage partner like Qin Zheng, and it was also because her relationship with Xing Yujie had broken down that Qin Zheng was worried she might do something rash, so he called Zheng Song over to spend time with her and keep her company.

But she said those kinds of things.

Oh dear, really.

At this moment, Tian Xiaohui deeply realized her mistake. She lowered her head and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

Ye Yun: "..."

Given Tian Xiaohui's good attitude in admitting her mistake, she didn't intend to say anything more to her. She said calmly, "Xing Yujie is also a soldier. If he goes on a mission, it can last anywhere from half a month to several years. If he's unlucky, he might never come back. His job is even more dangerous than Zheng Song's, do you know that?"

Tian Xiaohui pursed her lips and nodded.

She hadn't thought about this in detail before, but now that Ye Yun had reminded her, she realized the downsides of marrying Xing Yujie.

"Your brother Qin Zheng would never harm you."

Ye Yun said no more, put down the enamel cup in her hand, and walked outside.

Tian Xiaohui was startled.

Fearing that Ye Yun might abandon her in a fit of anger, she grabbed Ye Yun's arm and asked urgently, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Ye Yun just wanted to pick up Qin Zheng.

After the investigation was completed, she saw the inspection team off. Qin Zheng noticed it was almost noon and didn't want her to continue eating the factory's communal meals. He wanted to get her something fresh, so he went to the nearby vegetable market.

With the arrival of spring and blooming flowers, the market has received a large supply of seafood that has just been caught from the sea.

However, seeing Tian Xiaohui's nervous appearance, Ye Yun also had the urge to tease her. She deliberately put on a cold face and gave Tian Xiaohui an unpleasant look.

He rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Sigh... My good intentions have been taken for granted. I probably don't want to stay here anymore; I feel a bit nauseous."

Feeling nauseous?

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohui quickly grabbed her hand and asked with concern in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant again?"

Ye Yun was taken aback: ?!

No, little sister, is your focus always this peculiar?
