"Grandma isn't feeling well and is resting upstairs. Bowen, are you tired? Come inside and I'll give you a shoulder massage."
Kang Qiqi glanced at the people busy in the kitchen; the occasional glances they gave her made her very uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go upstairs and rest for a while." Qi Bowen had no idea what Kang Qiqi meant.
His good grandmother didn't come out because she wanted to create an opportunity for them; after all, this wasn't the first time.
The people from the organization who were sent to take care of his maternal grandfather also saw these things, but they knew that the Li family would have to rely on him in the future.
He gave them a warning, and they didn't dare say anything more, besides, they had no evidence.
Once upstairs, Qi Bowen habitually pulled the person into his arms.
"Brother Bowen, I miss you so much." Kang Qiqi nestled obediently in Qi Bowen's arms, expressing her longing.
"I went to my parents' place. If I had known you were here, I would have come back long ago." Qi Bowen glanced at the beautiful woman in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her.
How could Kang Qiqi miss such an opportunity? Soon the two of them were rolling around together.
She knew that it would be difficult for her to enter the Li family through normal channels, and her only advantages were her appearance and her grandmother's help.
Grandma said that as long as Qi Bowen is under control, everyone else will eventually give in.
The Li family only has this one child, and they will all be counting on him in the future. If they have him under their control, then the Li family will be in charge.
Qi Bowen was quite pleased with Kang Qiqi's initiative, since it wasn't the first time.
A gentle breeze rustled outside the window, and the two figures intertwined on the spacious bed. In just a few minutes, everything returned to calm.
"Brother Bowen, you're really amazing." Kang Qiqi knew what men liked to hear; her grandmother had taught her a lot about these things.
"I know." Sure enough, Qi Bowen beamed with joy upon hearing her words.
He knew his assets as a man; they were certainly rare in the world.
Kang Qiqi always gave him a unique sense of satisfaction. His family looked down on him, but Kang Qiqi admired him immensely.
“Brother Bowen, I heard that your aunt has arranged a marriage for you? I know I am not good enough for you, but I still feel bad.”
“After you get married, will we no longer be able to see each other? Grandma also told me not to have any unrealistic dreams and to settle down and marry an ordinary person after you get married.”
"But I've met such a good man as Brother Bowen, how could I possibly be interested in those other men? No matter how good they are, I don't want them."
Kang Qiqi knew it was difficult for her to come to the old military compound. The Li family agreed to let them visit their grandmother, but they could only come two or three times a month.
What can you do in just a few days? She heard from her grandmother that the Li family was planning to arrange a marriage for Qi Bowen, and she was very anxious.
"My marriage is not settled yet, so don't have any wild ideas. Even if I get married, you will still be my woman. Do you think you can marry someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Bowen felt utterly humiliated. Kang Qiqi was his woman; how could he possibly watch her marry someone else?
Kang Qiqi: "..."
Was that the point she was making? If she weren't still counting on this man, she would have spat in his face.
He has no intention of taking responsibility, yet he wants her to remain chaste for life, and he acts as if it's perfectly natural. Well, we'll have to see if she agrees.
“I don’t want to marry someone else either, but you know, Bowen, if Grandpa Li finds out about us, he will definitely stop us.”
"Whether I get married or not won't be up to me then." Kang Qiqi knew that Qi Bowen wouldn't be willing to marry her now.
He was only seduced by her because she offered herself to him and was also quite attractive.
If he really rises to a high position and no one in the Li family can control him, then any woman will be within his grasp, and she will definitely not be enough to satisfy him.
She wanted to take advantage of the fact that he hadn't yet taken charge of the household, to entice him, to make him worry, and hopefully to make him do something impulsive and wrong.
All she ever wanted was to enter the Li family; romance and love were secondary.
"Don't worry, no one will dare to make you marry someone else. I won't let Grandpa find out." Qi Bowen impatiently interrupted Kang Qiqi.
All she said was to get him to marry her, right? But does she deserve it?
Kang Qiqi knew that Qi Bowen didn't like her and that he was just putting on a show. This wouldn't work, so she had to try a different approach.
"Brother Bowen, I believe you." The two hugged each other, each calculating against the other.
When it got dark, the rest of the Kang family came out of his grandmother's room, pretending to be unaware of what had happened.
I originally planned to wait for Old Li to come back and say hello before leaving, but he didn't return even after it got completely dark.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave politely. Qi Bowen went upstairs after seeing that she had left. Every time Kang Qiqi came, she would drain him dry.
His enthusiasm was almost too much for him; it was a sweet burden, and he needed to rest and recuperate.
He didn't care that his maternal grandfather hadn't come back, as this had happened before.
"Marshal, are you really planning to go to Shanghai?" The guard at the gate was surprised by the old marshal's order.
The old marshal has basically retired from public life. If it weren't for his grandson being so incompetent, he would have retired long ago.
"Yes, I want to go see my old comrades-in-arms." Marshal Li had experienced many trials and tribulations.
Even though her heart was already churning with turmoil, her face remained calm and composed.
He thought about what was said on the phone. He needed to remain calm until he had investigated the matter thoroughly, but he had a strange feeling that it was true.
He knew who the Guo family was; in those chaotic times, many families like theirs had been destroyed and their members killed.
The Guo family is also full of loyal martyrs, and they are the same kind of people as him. I wouldn't make this call to him if I wasn't sure.
If he went directly to Jiangxi Province, it would easily alert the enemy; going to Shanghai would be fine.
The two places, Beijing and Shanghai, have always maintained close ties. Most people would only assume that his trip to the Shanghai Military Region was for work.
The work that would require him to appear in public must be confidential; even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't dare.
"Okay, I'll go prepare now." Driver Xiao Liu and bodyguard Xiao Li saw that the old marshal couldn't wait and immediately went to make arrangements.
I don't know what happened this time that made the old marshal set off for Shanghai so late at night.
These minor incidents from the past few years would never have reached the old marshal's attention, which made them very worried.
"Marshal, should we tell our families?" The bodyguard had been with the old marshal for many years and knew that although the old marshal didn't say it, he cared a lot about his daughter and grandson.
Especially his grandson, whom the old marshal doted on with his life, though he never showed it on the surface.
"Tell Qi Feng, but don't tell anyone else." Marshal Li, thinking of that incident, didn't know how to face Qi Bowen.
He even felt a sense of relief. He thought of his ancestors, fathers, brothers, sons, nephews, and nieces. The children of the Li family should not be like this.
