Chapter 32: Stepping Out of His Arms
The regimental commander has arrived.
No wonder he looked like he had a lot of troubles to say when he met the regimental commander after returning to the team.
She left without even saying goodbye to Ning Xin, apparently because everyone already knew what that bitch had done!
Zhang Yanfei's face darkened, and he suppressed his anger: "Sisters, I know about this, but I trust Ningxin's character. I'll ask her what happened when I get back."
"I'll talk to my sisters-in-law in detail another day."
"Captain Zhang, please speak nicely, please don't resort to violence." The women suppressed a laugh.
If Ning Xin had paid attention just now, she would have noticed that these three women were the same ones she had argued with on the street a while ago.
They're deliberately trying to sow discord between Zhang Yanfei and others!
Let that little slut act tough with them! She'll get a beating when she gets home!
As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, Zhang Yanfei kicked the door open with all her might.
The first thing you see is Ning Xin standing in front of the cabinet where he kept his money for his wife, clutching a few ten-yuan bills in her hand, muttering that she was going to buy a dress.
Only she knew about this place, so how did she know?
Thinking of what he had just heard, he was so angry that he immediately grabbed the mop handle and held it in his hand.
"I haven't even done anything yet, and you've already caused me trouble!"
"If the battalion commander has a problem with me because you're the daughter of a capitalist, and I can't get promoted in the future, I'll beat you to death!"
Ning Xin was startled by the sound of the door being kicked.
Before she could even put on a seductive smile, she was struck hard on the head with a stick, screaming in pain.
She was initially feeling wronged, but upon hearing the words "meritorious service," she immediately rushed over and hugged Zhang Yanfei.
"Brother Yanfei, don't worry, no one will know that I am a capitalist's daughter."
"Have you forgotten that Ning Tang is also a member of the Ning family? Even if she was adopted, she still ate the Ning family's food and water. When this gets out, it won't do the Xu family any good, so they will definitely keep it a secret."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanfei paused in his work. He thought about it for a moment and realized that what he said made sense.
But who can guarantee that?
The Xu family is so powerful, maybe only he himself will be affected.
Zhang Yanfei sneered, pulled Ning Xin in front of him, and threatened, "If I don't get promoted this time while I'm putting out the fire, you'd better get the hell out of here!"
"Brother Yanfei, don't worry, your boss will definitely praise you when the time comes."
Ning Xin clearly remembered that Xu Qiaofeng was praised and commended on the day he returned in her previous life.
Why hasn't Brother Yanfei arrived yet?
Could it be because Xu Qiaofeng's grandfather was a commander?
Thinking about it this way, Ning Xin instantly felt relieved. That must be it; they were eager to curry favor with Commander Xu.
"So what? All you do is eat and drink, you can't help me at all. Look at Ning Tang, she's busy in the tent, she's earned so much face for Xu Qiaofeng!"
"And look at you, wearing lambskin high heels even when you go out to the mountains. All my brothers are laughing at me behind my back. I'll beat you to death!"
Zhang Yanfei slapped Ning Xin across the face.
The force was so great that it knocked the person down.
"Brother Yanfei, I have a use for you!"
Ning Xin thought of something and immediately flattered, "A few days ago I accidentally saved an official's wife on the mountain. I heard she's the wife of some high-ranking official. Once I get on her good side, will I still have to worry about getting promoted in the future?"
"What's that official's wife's surname?"
"I see other people call her Sister Li, so her surname must be Li."
Zhang Yanfei suddenly remembered a military officer who had been transferred from Beijing some time ago, and it seemed that his wife's surname was Li.
I heard he dotes on his wife a lot. If he knew Ning Xin saved his wife, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely.
Ning Xin still has some value to be used.
Zhang Yanfei helped the woman up from the ground and tenderly touched her swollen face.
"Honey, I was just fooled by what those women downstairs said. Let me see if it hurt!"
Ning Xin was completely overwhelmed by the sudden tenderness.
The pain from being hit earlier has faded.
She leaned against the man's chest, her voice tinged with coquettishness: "Brother Yanfei, I knew you loved me the most."
"I felt really bad when you hit me just now."
Zhang Yanfei took the opportunity to comfort her, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
While speaking, he snatched several large bills from Ning Xin's hand.
"Listen to me, we won't spend this money. When things get better in the future, I'll give you as much money as you want."
Ning Xin nodded, touched.
She knew that Yanfei only had eyes for her.
This is not a wound, but a medal from love.
...
Night fell quickly.
After changing the last dose of medicine for the day, Ning Tang coughed and gestured for Xu Qiaofeng to quickly put on his clothes.
The man in front of me had a great physique; he was so perfect it made my mouth water.
She was so engrossed in looking up that she didn't dare to meet his gaze.
"Thanks."
Sometime later, Xu Qiaofeng finished dressing, but didn't button up his clothes. He turned around and whispered his thanks.
Ning Tang subconsciously looked up and was startled when she met Xu Qiaofeng's exposed abs. She hurriedly tried to get up and leave.
The carpet beneath her feet was so soft it offered her no cushioning whatsoever. The moment she stepped on it, her ankle twisted, and she stumbled forward, about to fall.
Xu Qiaofeng was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.
With a long arm outstretched, he pulled the person into his arms with a little force.
Ning Tang's forehead bumped against his chest, her nose filled with the faint scent of soap emanating from the man, and her breathing became inexplicably tight.
"What's the panic?"
"No, I didn't panic. I just tripped over something."
Ning Tang blushed and explained in a low voice.
Facing the bulging pectoral muscles in front of him, he propped himself up on his arms and stepped out of Xu Qiaofeng's embrace.
He raised an eyebrow.
She usually seems emotionless, but now she's like a little rabbit.
It's quite interesting.
Ning Tang rubbed her ears and didn't say anything more until she went to bed that night.
She lay on the bed, while Xu Qiaofeng, injured, lay on the other side of the bed.
This time it's different; there's no pillow separating them.
Although no one spoke, Ning Tang's ears burned, and she felt as if something had gone wrong.
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
I slept without any dreams.
When Ning Tang woke up, Xu Qiaofeng was no longer by her side.
She quickly got up to wash and brush her teeth.
As soon as I entered the bathroom, I heard a loud crash outside.
The wardrobe door fell down.
Ning Tang wanted to go out and call Aunt Zhang, but when she got there she found a shiny hair clip lying on the ground.
The style is exquisite; it's not hers, it looks like something only a cute girl would wear.
Ning Tang squatted down and gently picked it up.
Why did Xu Qiaofeng put this thing in the wardrobe?
Could it be... for Lu Niannian?
The name popped into her mind instantly, and the more Ning Tang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
My heart felt heavy, as if something was blocking it, and my mind went blank.
Ning Tang took a deep breath and put the hair clip in the wardrobe as if she had never noticed it.
He turned around and went back to wash up.
After she finished tidying up, she went downstairs and saw Xu Qiaofeng sitting on the sofa. He pointed to the seat next to him, got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge.
"Your porridge is just right, not too hot."
"Thank you." Ning Tang was out of sorts and thanked him subconsciously.
"By the way, do you have time tonight? I have something I want to tell you."
Xu Qiaofeng paused, as if he were solving some difficult problem, his face tense.
