Xie Shaochen fell silent after hearing this. Although he didn't know how serious the danger of Qiao Lubai's mission was, he could judge from the intensity of Qiao Lubai's training despite his injury that this mission was extraordinary.
As a child of a military family, Xie Shaochen understands Qiao Lubai's approach very well and hopes that his sister-in-law can understand it too.
In fact, my sister-in-law is a soldier herself, and she understands the helplessness of frontline soldiers better than most people.
Perhaps he was worrying too much, and his sister-in-law was not as worried as he was.
Afterwards, Xie Shaochen met Mu Qiao at the camp office, and he observed Mu Qiao's emotions intentionally or unintentionally.
Fortunately, Mu Qiao didn't act like most other women and was very calm every day, as if nothing had happened.
After the operation meeting ended today, Director Zhang took Mu Qiao aside and talked about many things between men and women. Mu Qiao just smiled and agreed without expressing any opinion.
Xie Shaochen listened and found nothing unusual, so he finally felt relieved.
In fact, Mu Qiao had already discovered that Xie Shaochen was paying attention to her, so she behaved normally.
...
...
She was conflicted about what happened between her and Qiao Lubai, but she didn't want outsiders to know.
There is a saying; "Things between two people should be resolved between the two of them, and should not be disclosed to outsiders."
These days, Mu Qiao has also figured it out. If Qiao Lubai insists on divorce, she will agree, but she has a condition, "On the battlefield, you can't give up even if there is a glimmer of hope to survive."
He didn't want her to be a widow, and she didn't want him to die young, which was the only thing she asked of him.
It took a lot of determination for Mu Qiao to make this decision, because she simply couldn't do something like crying, making a fuss, or threatening to commit suicide.
Qiao Lubai needs peace of mind, and she needs to give him peace of mind and dignity.
Perhaps this is how adults think.
Once people mature, they will not care too much about gains and losses. Their minds will be filled with only one thought, that is, the people they care about are safe and happy.
After Mu Qiao realized this, she stopped avoiding Qiao Lubai like before. She said generously, "Qiao Lubai, you are about to go on a mission. Let's get along well in the remaining days. Even if you are determined to divorce me, we are still husband and wife before the divorce. I want to spend time with you happily instead of avoiding each other."
Qiao Lubai didn't expect Mu Qiao to figure it out so quickly. He felt happy but also a little disappointed.
He suppressed the unnecessary disappointment in his heart, and said with a smile on his lips, "You are right, I think too much. Let's get along well in the remaining few days."
Mu Qiao felt an indescribable bitter feeling in her heart, but she was a carefree person and did not think about it any more. She suppressed the feeling deep in her heart and ignored it as much as possible.
There are some things that you want to ignore, but the more you think about them.
Especially every time she saw Qiao Lubai smiling at her, the bitter feeling in Mu Qiao's heart would emerge in her mind and would not go away.
Maybe because they were about to separate, Mu Qiao became much more attentive to Qiao Lubai and bought him all kinds of things, but he always felt that something was missing and he couldn't think of what it was no matter how hard he tried.
Qiao Lubai also tried his best to buy things for Mu Qiao, such as properties under his name, cars, houses, etc.
The way he did this was as if he was making arrangements for his final affairs, and Mu Qiao felt a pain in his heart.
Many times, she wanted to make a scene like before, but she had already said that she didn't want to make him sad, so she held back.
It was late at night and Mu Qiao had just fallen asleep when she felt someone sitting next to her bed. It was a very familiar person. She wanted to open her eyes to see him, but her eyelids wouldn't open.
When she finally woke up, it was already the next morning, and the man was gone.
She knew that in recent nights Qiao Lubai would come to her room while she was asleep, sit quietly beside her bed, look at her, and leave until the early morning.
He couldn't bear to leave her, but he had to leave her. She felt the same way as him.
Mu Qiao was in tears before she knew it, but she didn't dare cry out loud. She didn't want Qiao Lubai to see her weakness.
After crying silently, Mu Qiao wiped away his tears, got up, washed and went for a morning run as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Lubai was just like her, with a smile on his handsome face, without a trace of sadness.
Seeing the two of them being so quiet, Xie Shaochen muttered to himself, "These two are really patient. Their divorce application has already been approved, but why don't they seem to be sad at all?"
Is there no love between them?
Xie Shaochen was shocked by his own thought, but he quickly calmed down.
He was unable to attend the wedding of Qiao Lubai and Mu Qiao, but according to gossip, Qiao Lubai and Mu Qiao did not get married because of love, but because Qiao Lubai's grandfather was seriously ill and wanted to see Qiao Lubai get married and start a family.
As expected, a marriage not based on love cannot last long, so using this difficult task as an excuse to get a divorce directly is really smart!

At lunch time, Mu Qiao and Qiao Lubai came out of the cafeteria and met Xie Shaochen. After the three of them saluted and greeted each other, Xie Shaochen asked Qiao Lubai to talk aside.
"Brother, let me ask you something. How can you get along with a girl in a fake marriage so that you can divorce peacefully when the time comes?"
Qiao Lubai was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why do you ask me this question? Do you think I would know?"
Xie Shaochen said fearlessly, "You and your sister-in-law had a fake marriage to deceive your family, and now the time has come, you applied for a divorce. You seem to be so righteous, but in fact you are taking this opportunity to give each other freedom, right?"
Qiao Lubai's handsome face darkened as Bao Gong when he heard this, and he asked coldly, "Who told me that Mu Qiao and I were in a fake marriage, and this divorce was an excuse to give each other freedom?"
"Do I need anyone to tell me this? Just ask around and you'll know everything." Xie Shaochen really dared to say that.
Qiao Lubai's face was extremely ugly, but his tone was very serious; "I like Mu Qiao. If possible, I would like to be with her for the rest of my life, but I am going to die, and I don't want her to choose divorce because of me and live a lonely life. Do you understand?"
Xie Shaochen looked at Qiao Lubai's serious expression and nodded, "So you had feelings for each other when you got married?"
"We have a good impression of each other." Qiao Lubai did not deny that he had not fallen in love with Mu Qiao at that time.
Xie Shaochen muttered, "I thought you were just faking your marriage. I wanted to learn from you, but now it seems there's no hope."
There was something else behind his words, so Qiao Lubai took the opportunity to ask, "You don't want to have a fake marriage, do you?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Shaochen's confidence was obviously lacking when he denied it.
Qiao Lubai rarely gossiped, "Tell me, who is the girl who wants to fake marry you? Do I know her?"
"You don't know her." Xie Shaochen would never say that the girl was Yang Jing.
Ever since the Yang family was expelled from the military, Yang Jing came to Zhouquan and lived in Xie Shaochen's house.
Recently, Xie's father urged Xie Shaochen to get married, but Yang Jing told him that she was willing to have a fake marriage with him.
Although he didn't know what Yang Jing's purpose was, there was nothing wrong with having a fake marriage with Yang Jing as it could solve his urgent problem.
