Mei Yanqiu's body stiffened for a moment. She looked up at Zhou Yanjing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
"Zhou Yanjing, don't think you can shut me up by protecting her! She is a jinx who killed her mother and my daughter, and now -"
"Do you still want to defeat me?"
Mei Yanqiu's voice suddenly stopped and her face turned pale in an instant. Her hands were firmly clamped by Zhou Yanjing, unable to move, and she could only stare at Shen Liwu, the hatred in her eyes almost devouring the other party.
Zhou Yanjing let go of her hand, his tone cold and restrained, "When Shen Jiajia was still alive, you could use her as a bargaining chip to tie Dad down, but now Dad's only daughter is Li Wu. You should know how much Dad loves her now. If you still want to have a place in this family, you'd better behave yourself."
Mei Yanqiu's lips trembled and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, but more of it was resentment and anger. She glared at Zhou Yanjing fiercely, turned around and quickly left the restaurant.
Just wait, she will make Shen Liwu pay back this debt sooner or later. Her daughter is dead, so the Shen family will no longer have a daughter.
Shen Liwu sighed and looked up at Zhou Yanjing, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the commander to protect his safety?"
"It's dinner time. I have half an hour. I saw you coming over to eat, so I followed you."
Zhou Yanjing sat on the seat next to her, propping up his chin with a doting smile on his face, "My wife is amazing. So many big shots want to poach her."
"Where do you think we should go?"
Zhou Yanjing was silent for a moment, then said, "Instead of asking me where to go, why not tell me where you want to go?"
Shen Liwu smiled: "I want to be with you."
I don't want to be too far away from him.
Zhou Yanjing smiled helplessly. He reached out and touched the top of her head. "So am I, but the commander won't give up. If you can't get what you want here, he'll start with me."
Based on his understanding of men, the commander was not a good person. This man could be their benefactor in life, or he could be the dark hand that dragged them into hell.
Shen Liwu was a little worried. She looked at Zhou Yanjing and said, "I caused you trouble, didn't I?"
Zhou Yanjing's fingers gently brushed the hair beside her ear, his eyes soft but firm, "It's not a problem. The commander is a thoughtful person, and every move he makes is not made casually."
The food had been served, Shen Liwu lowered his head, and stirred the bowl with his chopsticks for a few times, but he didn't pick up anything. She spoke in a low voice, as if talking to herself, "I don't want to embarrass you."
Zhou Yanjing held her hand, his palm warm and strong, "Don't think too much. We are husband and wife, and we should face everything together. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
She raised her head, a gleam in her eyes, "If I really stay, will it be a burden to you? The commander..."
Zhou Yanjing raised his lips slightly, with a hint of certainty, "No matter how powerful the commander is, he can't force me to do things that violate principles. My duty is to defend my country, not to cater to anyone's preferences. Besides," he paused, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "if he really transferred me away, you might not be willing to follow him obediently, right?"
Shen Liwu couldn't help but chuckled, and her tense mood relaxed a little, "You just know how to make me happy."
"It's my responsibility to make you happy." Zhou Yanjing's tone was relaxed, but serious.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of light green vegetable and put it in her bowl, "Eat first, it's not good for your stomach if it gets cold."
She looked down at the food in the bowl and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although the storm outside had not stopped, she felt much more at ease with him by her side.
