Chapter 14 “So That You Don’t Suffer Loss.”

Li Fuzheng suddenly laughed: "I just happened to hear you calling. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I want to help you in case you get into a conflict and suffer a loss, and I have to clean it up."

The bubble of expectation was punctured, and with a "poof" sound, Meng Liyue pursed her lips. After a while, she calmed down and defended herself: "I am not the same person as before."

"Yeah, I figured it out." Li Fuzheng seemed to have thought of something, and it was rare for him to smile so obviously, "The action of splashing milk tea is steady, accurate and ruthless."

Meng Liyue couldn't figure out the real meaning of his words. Was he praising himself?

She asked hesitantly, "Do you think...Is it too much for me to treat Xu Moti like this?"

They are friends, and even though the relationship between Xu Moti and Li Fuzheng is not that good now, they were close in the past.

Li Fuzheng's answer was unexpected: "I am not qualified to judge whether your behavior is excessive or not. You are the one who was hurt before. It is your right to treat her however you want. This is a matter between the two of you."

He always gives people such a distant and indifferent feeling, yet he has a fatal attraction.

Meng Liyue knew better than anyone that he was not as cold as he appeared.

Her uncomfortable mood was relieved: "Thank you..."

"I didn't help you."

It was she who rose up on her own to break free from the nightmare of the past and dared to declare war on those who had hurt her.

Li Fuzheng was walking out, but suddenly stopped and asked, "What are we having for dinner?"

"Anything is fine... Let's order takeout."

"Then let's go out to eat." Li Fuzheng raised his wrist and checked the time. "I happened to have an appointment with a friend, so let's go together."

Meng Liyue hesitated: "I don't even know your friends. Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

"It's not inconvenient. Besides, if Ms. Shen knew that I went out to eat with my friends and left you at home to order takeout, what do you think she would do?"

Meng Liyue blinked and asked curiously, "How?"

"Call me at least three times a day to make sure I'm taking good care of you."

Meng Liyue seemed to suddenly understand why Li Fuzheng was so anxious to get married.

Aunt Shen is really worried about his marriage.

"I'll change my clothes, quickly!"

"Um."

Li Fuzheng closed the door considerately, and when his breath faded away, Meng Liyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so nervous when he was here that sometimes she couldn't even look him in the eye.

What should I do next?

Living under the same roof and often in such close proximity, she was afraid that one day she would become angry, lose her mind, and act impulsively...

When going out, Meng Liyue wore a blue suspender skirt, half-tied her long hair, and applied pink lipstick, which, combined with her fair skin, made her look radiant.

Li Fuzheng was dressed casually, in a black short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, but the aura brought by his height alone was enough to attract attention.

In addition to that outstanding face, when they took the elevator downstairs and bumped into their neighbors, their gazes at them were particularly direct.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a particularly well-matched couple.

On the way, Li Fuzheng probably received a call from a friend who was going to have dinner with him tonight.

"On the way."

"Add one more person."

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when you get here."

He hung up quickly, staring at the traffic ahead, and suddenly tilted his head, glanced at her and said, "We're childhood friends. I'll introduce you to each other later."

"……good."

Meng Liyue was a little bit looking forward to it. Would getting to know Li Fuzheng's friends mean that she was one step closer to him?

…

Arriving at the restaurant in the new district, Meng Liyue had never been there before. The environment was secluded and quiet. She followed Li Fuzheng and began to feel nervous.

She is not an extrovert by nature, so it is inevitable that she is nervous.

"Here you are, here you are, finally you are willing to give me a favor. It's so hard to see you."

As soon as the door of the private room was opened, the two people inside looked over at the same time and immediately saw Meng Liyue beside Li Fuzheng.

They were all stunned and exchanged glances secretly.

Li Fuzheng was calm and walked straight in. His seat had been reserved long ago. He even pulled out a chair next to him and gestured to Meng Liyue, "Sit down first."

"……good."

She tried to keep a faint smile on her face and walked over.

Others finally responded.

"Could you introduce yourself?" The man who spoke had a crew cut, strong features, and a strong aura.

Li Fuzheng leaned slightly to one side, resting his arm on the back of the chair, looked at Meng Liyue, and said calmly, "My wife."

He was too lazy to beat around the bush; since the marriage was a fact, he had no intention of keeping it secret, even if he didn't want to publicize it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Liyue's cheeks began to feel hot, and the other two people in the box fell silent again.

"...Did I hear you right?" The man in the flowered shirt looked sloppy and had a weird expression on his face.

The man with the buzz cut was the first to respond: "No, Li Fuzheng did say he was married."

"Li Fuzheng, you are really great. Why are you telling me such an important thing today?"

Li Fuzheng smiled lightly, not caring at all: "It's not too late to tell me now."

He began to introduce his friends to Meng Liyue.

The man with a crew cut is called Qi Zhi, and the man in the flowered shirt is called Ning Yixiu. They are both his childhood friends and grew up in the same compound.

Moreover, Qi Zhi was an air force pilot who flew attack planes.

When Li Fuzheng said this, Meng Liyue inexplicably heard the yearning implied in his tone.

This is probably his dream too.

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to choose another path.

"I'm younger than Li Fuzheng, so should I call you sister-in-law?" Ning Yixu said in a rather informal manner.

But his eyes were serious and full of scrutiny, as if he was observing what kind of ability she had to marry Li Fuzheng.

"Don't tease her." Li Fuzheng poured water into the cup, placed it in front of Meng Liyue, and reminded her indifferently.

"It's protected now. It looks like it's really over. They're not fooling us." Ning Yixu finally became serious.

But Meng Liyue could feel that he still didn't seem to like her very much.

She had no idea why, but luckily she had Li Fuzheng. Although he was a little cold-tempered, he never embarrassed her and took care of her in every way.

Even though this was just his instinctive gentlemanly behavior, Meng Liyue was secretly happy.

"The last time you were training, the airspace was basically occupied, and I almost couldn't land." Li Fuzheng casually mentioned this as they started to eat.

He turned his head to Meng Liyue again: "It was you who reminded me not to go too far east that day."

She immediately remembered that Qi Zhi's team was training that day.

Qi Zhi didn't say much, then he looked at Meng Liyue and asked, "Are you approach control?"

"Yes." Meng Liyue nodded, "That night, half of the sector I was in charge of was taken over by you guys."

He was quite polite: "Night training, sorry to bother you guys."

"How could that be? It's my duty to cooperate with you."

Seeing that they were still chatting, Li Fuzheng raised his eyebrows and put a piece of meat into Meng Liyue's bowl: "Don't worry about it."

She glanced at him quickly and held back the word "thank you" with great difficulty.

Meng Liyue had almost finished her meal and went to the bathroom to touch up her lipstick. When she came out, she ran into Ning Yixu.

Just as I was about to say hello, he smiled in an ambiguous way and said, "You are quite capable."
