Gu Mingzhou remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.
"No, my divorce is only between the two of us, and has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Brother Mingzhou."
Although Gu Mingzhou wouldn't admit that he hadn't given up on Lin Qingyan, his actions made it very clear.
He cares about Lin Qingyan, and even if Lin Qingyan falls for someone else, he probably won't give up.
She bit her lip hard and continued, "Mingzhou, have you forgotten what happened in Jinshi? You once said that because you saw me naked, you would take responsibility for me for the rest of your life. You can't be so heartless."
"Fine, since you're going to report this to your superiors, then I'll tell them what happened back then, so they know what kind of person you are. How can someone who's so irresponsible be fit to be a military officer?"
Gu Mingzhou clenched his fist in anger; he couldn't do anything about Lin Sisi.
He turned his head and glanced at the broken thermos and the large puddle on the ground, recalling once again the scene of him seeing Lin Sisi naked at the Lin family's house.
He closed his eyes and said, "Fine, but you can only drug me this once. If I find out again, I will definitely hand these things over and get the organization to approve our divorce application."
"I won't do it again, there won't be a next time." Lin Sisi hurriedly waved her hand. "I know I was wrong. I just wanted to keep my marriage with Mingzhou, I didn't think about anything else. Mingzhou, thank you, thank you for giving me the chance to continue being your husband. I won't be foolish again."
She really does have a way of controlling Gu Mingzhou.
Gu Mingzhou gave a faint "hmm" and then turned to leave.
Lin Sisi wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so she stood up, hugged Gu Mingzhou tightly, and pressed her body close to his.
"Mingzhou, there's no future for you and Lin Qingyan. Can't we just live a peaceful life together?"
Gu Mingzhou pried her hands away, intending to reject her outright and say that there was absolutely no possibility between them.
But after thinking about it, to prevent Lin Sisi from acting rashly, he nodded gently: "Sisi, don't rush me. Let me think about it carefully and give me some time to adjust."
Lin Sisi was overjoyed.
Gu Mingzhou's words proved that she and he still had a chance to develop feelings for each other, and she was determined to hold onto Gu Mingzhou tightly.
"Alright, Ming Zhouzhou, I'll give you time. I'll be waiting for you."
"Um."
Lin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and was also pleasantly surprised when she saw Gu Mingzhou leave.
She hadn't expected that even though she had been so careful, Gu Mingzhou would still notice.
Although the drugging attempt failed this time, it gave her the opportunity to develop a relationship with Gu Mingzhou.
She subconsciously squeezed the bag containing the remaining powder, wondering if it would still be of any use.
Gu Mingzhou didn't explicitly say he would accept her; she needed to leave herself a way out.
If Gu Mingzhou still refuses to accept her in the future, or if he only said those things to stall for time, she will use those same things on Gu Mingzhou.
Next time you administer the drug, you must be extremely careful and cautious, and absolutely cannot let Gu Mingzhou find out again.
After cremating Lin Guanghui's body, Fang Huilan and Yang Yuanting went to find Lin Qingyan, but unsurprisingly, they were both kicked out by Lin Qingyan.
Knowing that getting close to Lin Qingyan was hopeless, the two did not persist and prepared to take Lin Guanghui's ashes back to Beijing.
The day before they left, Yang Yuanting deliberately sent Fang Huilan away and went alone to the mountain west of Mopantun Brigade.
He carefully and cautiously found the cave where the medical treasure was hidden. He pushed aside the dead branches covering the cave entrance and saw with his own eyes the pair of dragon and phoenix grooves on the cave door. The dragon and phoenix patterns inside the grooves were lifelike.
He reached out and gently touched it, wondering who could have made the dragon and phoenix pattern in the groove so exquisite.
However, they also resented that the person had made the mechanism so intricate that their men couldn't open it and had to find the original key.
He sighed deeply at the two stone doors, wondering when he would finally be able to enter the cave and retrieve the treasure inside.
He dared not linger there for too long, so he hid the cave entrance again and went down the mountain.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's now late spring.
The new green leaves on the trees have turned into a deep green, and the crops in the fields have grown to more than half a foot tall.
Along with these plants, Lu Zhengting's legs are also thriving.
More than a month ago, he regained feeling in his legs and was able to move them slightly. After a month of Lin Qingyan's careful treatment, he is now able to stand up and walk independently.
However, there are still some limitations on the scope and intensity of the activities.
"Comrade Lu, your leg has been improving, and it won't be long before you fully recover."
Lu Zhengting was overjoyed; his ability to stand up again was entirely thanks to the little girl.
He was one step closer to confessing his feelings to Lin Qingyan in person.
When they were the only two people left in the room, Lin Qingyan hugged him again.
Now that he could stand, she wrapped her arms around his lean waist, pressed her face against his chest, and felt the strong, muscular power of his body.
"Comrade Lu, your leg is almost fully healed. Is there anything you'd like to say to me?"
