Chapter 314 Mr. Jin is so good to his wife
Seeing that Wen Jingxi was speechless with anger again, Song Lanyin toned down her joking attitude, coughed lightly, and became solemn.
"I haven't received any bad news yet, at least I can confirm that Shen Qingshu is still alive."
“She’s still alive…” Wen Jingxi lowered his eyes. “She’s alive, but she’s being controlled, so she can’t contact us, right?”
“It’s good that we’re not in contact,” Song Lanyin said. “In our line of work, no news is the best news. As far as I know, Jin Que has a complex and powerful background, but he didn’t really harm the two children. This is actually good proof that Jin Que showed mercy.”
Wen Jingxi looked up at Song Lanyin, and after a moment, he said, "You mean, Jin Que really fell in love with A Shu, and knows that A Shu values these two children very much, so he softened his heart towards them?"
"It could be that he was soft-hearted, but it's also possible that he deliberately kept the two children to threaten Shen Qingshu into compromising and giving in."
“I understand.” Wen Jingxi sighed heavily. “A-Shu will definitely compromise for the sake of the two children. Jin Que wants A-Shu’s compromise.”
"The worst thing for a desperate man is to fall in love." Song Lanyin crossed her arms, turned around, and looked at the blue sky outside the window. "I come from a mercenary organization. I was selected and sent to the training camp when I was eleven years old. The first principle of the training was not to fall in love. Family, friendship, love, none of them! Because emotions will make people soft-hearted and indecisive. On the battlefield, amidst the hail of bullets, being soft-hearted and hesitant will only lead to a faster death."
Wen Jingxi looked at Song Lanyin.
Her profile was indifferent, and her expression was solemn.
Wen Jingxi couldn't imagine the experiences she described. Or rather, those experiences were like scenes from movies to Wen Jingxi—perhaps thrilling or shocking, but they felt too unreal to him.
He had never lacked food or clothing since childhood, his family was happy and harmonious, his country was peaceful, and education was equal. His world was too comfortable and pleasant. He never thought that someone like Song Lanyin would appear in his life, let alone that he would live with someone like Song Lanyin and take care of two children together.
They were so incompatible, yet they just happened to meet.
“Song Lanyin,” Wen Jingxi looked at her, his voice low and serious, “how did you and Fu Siyan meet?”
Song Lanyin turned her head and met Wen Jingxi's gaze.
She smiled, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Fu Siyan is different from me. He comes from a peacekeeping force and takes orders from his superiors. I, on the other hand, take orders from the financiers who hire us. We mercenaries have no faith and do not belong to any nationality. In essence, people like us can be comrades-in-arms, but we can also be adversaries, depending entirely on the mission."
“I worked with Fu Siyan on an operation. Because it was overseas, we needed the assistance of many forces, but even so, the casualties were still heavy. All my teammates who participated with me died, and I almost died too. Fu Siyan saved me at the critical moment.”
Wen Jingxi felt a chill run down her spine just listening to it. "Was that operation also related to Jin Que?"
“You don’t need to know that.” Song Lanyin walked over and patted Wen Jingxi’s shoulder. “Teacher Wen, don’t be too curious. People who know too much are not happy.”
Wen Jingxi frowned and stared at her.
After a moment, he gently pushed Song Lanyin's hand away. "I apologize for my prejudice against you before."
“I accept your apology.” Song Lanyin raised an eyebrow at him as she spoke. “However, isn’t an apology a bit insincere? I don’t belong to any organization anymore. I’m working independently now. I’m a free agent. Teacher Wen, how about considering dating me?”
"No." Wen Jingxi immediately reverted to his cold demeanor. "My family is strict. They hope I'll find a girl who is of equal social standing and has a simpler background."
Song Lanyin chuckled lightly, "Teacher Wen, that's so hurtful. If you're going to refuse, just refuse. Why make such a sarcastic remark?"
Wen Jingxi's face stiffened, and he quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant that your profession is a bit dangerous, and my family can't accept it..."
"Alright, alright." Song Lanyin waved her hand. "I was just teasing you. You really think I like you? I can't help but flirt with any handsome man I see. If he's open-minded and willing to have a one-night stand with me, I'd be happy to. But serious relationships... well, men are all the same once they get out of bed and pull up their pants."
Wen Jingxi: "..."
He pursed his lips and glared at Song Lanyin, his ears turning red.
After a long pause, he managed to utter, "Song Lanyin, you have no shame."
"It's only natural, what's there to be shy about?" Song Lanyin chuckled lightly, looked at Wen Jingxi's reddened ears, shook her head, and clicked her tongue twice: "You're such a virgin, so inexperienced, you might even need to be taught, I'm not interested at all!"
"Song Lanyin!" Wen Jingxi exclaimed angrily, "Watch your mouth! If the two children hear this, it won't be a good influence!"
Song Lanyin rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with him, and turned to walk out of the house.
Wen Jingxi stared at the woman's dashing back, a nameless fire raging within him.
This isn't a female agent, she's practically a female hooligan!
…
N Country Holy Capital Private Estate
There's only one week left until the wedding.
Shen Qingshu's condition has been brought under control, but she has lost a lot of weight.
The wedding dress that Jin Que ordered arrived today.
After trying it on, it was too big, so Jin Que had it sent back to the designer for alterations.
Shen Qingshu didn't care about this.
Jin Que, on the other hand, took this very seriously. After the wedding dress was returned, he personally called the designer to communicate with him.
Jin Que valued this wedding more than anyone else.
Unaware of the feud between them, Wang Chunmei smiled like an aunt, saying, "Mr. Jin is so good to his wife."
Jiang Ruomi was also present when she said this.
Shen Qingshu subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruomi.
Jiang Ruomi lowered her head, her hands clasped silently.
Shen Qingshu withdrew her gaze.
In the evening, Jin Que went out.
Shen Qingshu asked Jiang Ruomi to accompany her to stroll in the back garden under the pretext of admiring the flowers.
Wang Chunmei followed them.
Upon arriving at the back garden, Shen Qingshu said to Wang Chunmei, "I suddenly have a craving for osmanthus cake. Aunt Wang, do you know how to make it?"
Wang Chunmei was taken aback. "I know how to make it, but it takes some time to make this osmanthus cake."
"Go ahead and do it." Shen Qingshu walked to the rattan chair next to her and sat down. "I can wait."
Wang Chunmei nodded and turned to walk into the house.
The small gate in the backyard has been sealed off, and more people have been deployed to guard the entire manor. Wang Chunmei is not worried that Shen Qingshu's escape will happen again.
With no one around, Shen Qingshu looked at Jiang Ruomi and said, "Come and sit down."
Jiang Ruomi walked over and sat down next to her.
"Sister Qingshu, I know what you want to say." Jiang Ruomi lowered her head and gently stroked her belly. "But I will not give up this child."
Shen Qingshu looked at her for a long while before asking, "Haven't you thought about this child's future? His father has committed so many crimes. In China, if either parent commits a serious crime, it will affect the next generation."
