Chapter 192 Cold-Blooded Young Marshal 5
Xu Qiuqiu got out of the car, and Jiang Lifeng seemed to only then notice her, gesturing for her to come over with his eyes.
Xu Qiuqiu didn't go over immediately. She hesitated for a while and glanced at Ling Jiazhen not far away.
There was no response from the other party, so she gave up and went to Jiang Lifeng's side.
Jiang Lifeng was quite pleased with her obedient appearance and was about to reach out and put his arm around her waist when Ling Jiazhen suddenly spoke up: "Godfather, it's been a long time. How about we have a couple of drinks and chat tonight?"
The moment he spoke, Jiang Lifeng's initial enthusiasm vanished. He put down his hand and instead revealed a fatherly smile, "Alright, we father and son should have a good get-together."
Xu Qiuqiu followed the maid into a newly cleaned guest room.
After the maid left, the room quieted down, and her anxious heart calmed down. She needed to think carefully about what she should do.
She didn't want to become the male lead's concubine, and 003 didn't have any medicine to help her.
From the conversation between A-Zhen and Jiang Lifeng just now, they seem to be father and son, but it doesn't seem to be as simple as it appears.
Moreover, her current status seems somewhat awkward. Although they're not officially married yet, wouldn't there be a generational difference once they are? Has she directly become his stepmother?
Xu Qiuqiu wanted to know how the plot was going, so she asked 003, "In this world, does Azhen have a bad relationship with the male lead?"
003 checked the data and said, "The second male lead doesn't have much screen time. He is the son of the male lead's sworn brother. After the male lead's brother died, he took the male lead as his adopted son. However, the second male lead left the warlord's mansion at the age of thirteen for unknown reasons. Now he is the young warlord of Jicheng. This is all we know about his background."
Xu Qiuqiu asked, puzzled, "Then why did he come back today?"
003 continued, “It’s mentioned briefly in the plot that the second male lead was originally supposed to appear at this point in the story, but the original female lead didn’t see him because she was forcibly taken to the warlord’s mansion while resisting.”
Xu Qiuqiu pressed on, "Any other hints? What kind of personality does the second male lead have in this world?"
003 only mentioned it briefly in one sentence: "It's rather general, just one word: cold-blooded and ruthless."
After hearing 003's answer, Xu Qiuqiu fell into deep thought. Does this type of boy like the delicate, innocent type of girl?
Ah Zhen has absolutely no feelings for her now. She should seize the opportunity to win him over while he's at the Marshal's mansion. But how should she deal with the male lead?
In the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Ling Jiazhen had already finished drinking with Jiang Lifeng. A middle-aged man in military uniform helped him out of the main hall, with servants leading the way.
Ling Jiazhen withdrew her hand, "Uncle Tan, there's no need to help me."
The servant led the way to another building, opened the room, made the bed, and then withdrew.
After everyone left, Tan Wei asked in confusion, "Young Master, there's something I don't understand. Why do you stay here? You clearly know that Jiang Lifeng has always wanted to get rid of you."
Ling Jiazhen smiled indifferently: "It's actually safer to stay in the Marshal's Mansion. Jiang Lifeng won't make a move inside the mansion. If he does, it will be when he's creating chaos outside. Moreover, staying here will make Jiang Lifeng feel that I'm not a threat, so he won't take me seriously and won't be in such a hurry to arrange for someone to kill me."
“Young Master is absolutely right.” Tan Wei didn’t ask any more questions. He had been following the young master for five years and knew that the young master was always very decisive and would never look back once he made a decision.
After Tan Wei left, Ling Jiazhen took off her heavy military uniform, unbuttoned a shirt, exhaled, and looked out at the night sky.
Yes, why does he insist on living here?
In reality, this is not convincing at all. As soon as he leaves the Marshal's Mansion, Jiang Lifeng will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him and arrange other chaos to create an accident to kill him.
He didn't understand why he did this. He didn't understand why he couldn't stand seeing her barefoot, why he was afraid she would be cold and made her get in the car, and why he was afraid that Jiang Lifeng would touch her. So he directly made Jiang Lifeng drunk.
He himself didn't know why he was doing all of these things; he was just subconsciously trying to stop them.
A beautiful image flashed through my mind: her pitiful eyes, her reddened ears, and her slender waist.
