Meng Xiao looked at the time. It was already late. Now that everything had been sorted out, he wanted to go home quickly to be with his wife and children.
Shen Qingli must be worried since you didn't come back so late.
"Lingling, I'm sorry." Yan Sheng didn't know what to say at this moment except sorry. He was too inferior to her. If he had more confidence, he would not have used someone else's identity to interact with her.
Lin Lingling continued to cry and ignored him. She didn't want to pay any attention to this person at all. Too bad! Too bad! How could there be such a person!
Meng Xiao stood up and straightened his collar and button.
"Now that we've figured things out, I'll be leaving. Also, I don't care how you deal with him, whether it's demobilization or demotion. I only have one request."
He paused.
"I want him to criticize the entire army and explain himself clearly to everyone. Otherwise, everyone will say that I, Meng Xiao, abandoned my wife and children. I'm afraid my wife will never be able to hold her head up high again."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without caring about the people behind him. He always followed his heart, and once the matter was resolved, he would leave whenever he wanted.
That being said, it's probably unlikely that he'll be demoted, but at least he should be dismissed. This is different from the last fight between Ye Mingchuan and Liu Tiejun. It's a matter of principle, and no one would be willing to protect him.
Maybe a few years ago, with his temper, he would have beaten the person first, but now he just wanted to go home quickly because his wife and children were waiting for him at home.
He left, leaving Zheng W sitting there staring at his back. Good guy, you left so easily, why did you leave me here alone?
When Yan Sheng heard the words "withdraw his troops", his pale face instantly turned even more bloodless. He looked at Zheng W who was sitting on the chair with pleading eyes. The other stood up, sighed heavily and shook his head.
"You are so confused! So confused! Oh!"
——————
"I'm back." He pecked the corner of Shen Qingli's lips.
"There's rice left in the pot." Shen Qingli wanted to get up to get him some rice but was held down. "I'll get it myself later. Hug."
He put his arms around Shen Qingli and rested his forehead on her neck.
"It's so late today. What's keeping you up?" She put her arms around his shoulders and gently hugged him back.
"No, no." He felt a little awkward. He didn't mean to hide it from her, but he just didn't want to make her worry, so he concealed it.
Shen Qingli paused in hugging him back. Perhaps Meng Xiao was not good at lying in front of her, and she could see through his discomfort at a glance.
She looked normal, smiled and gently pushed him away: "I'll get you some food."
Meng Xiao followed her closely, wherever she went, Meng Xiao followed, which made Shen Qingli even more certain that he must be hiding something from her.
When he saw two full plates of food and some warm porridge in front of him, he realized that he was already hungry.
"Qingqing."
"Um?"
"You're so nice." He said as he put the food into his mouth and looked up at her with a silly smile.
Shen Qingli smiled and said, "Eat quickly."
She planned to wait until he had eaten before asking him. She couldn't just stop him from eating when he was so hungry.
Of course, she believed that Meng Xiao would not do anything to let her down, but when he was obviously hiding something from her, she was always full of curiosity and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
So either don't let her notice it, or if she notices something is wrong, she won't be able to sleep and will feel uneasy if she doesn't ask about it.
After patiently waiting for Meng Xiao to finish his meal and take a shower outside, Shen Qingli looked at him seriously and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me yet?"
Meng Xiao's heart tightened, "What did you say?"
He held her in his arms guiltily, not wanting to look into her eyes. If he looked into her eyes while lying, he would feel exposed.
"I already know everything, and you're still hiding it from me!" Shen Qingli broke free from his embrace and sat aside, staring at him quietly. Humph, keep pretending. I wonder how long you can keep pretending.
Meng Xiao really couldn't tell a lie in front of her. Shen Qingli only said two sentences, and they looked at each other for less than five seconds before Meng Xiao gave in and looked away.
He let out a long sigh and then turned to look at Shen Qingli: "I'm sorry, wife. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just felt that the matter was resolved and didn't want you to be troubled by it."
His words were sincere, but Shen Qingli felt a chill run down her spine. Did she really figure it out? Was he really hiding something from her? She remained silent, staring at him silently.
Sometimes when a person feels guilty, he will really avoid your gaze when you stare at him.
Meng Xiao pinched his brows and told Shen Qingli what happened today.
"I rescued a girl during a mission three years ago, and she came to see me today."
After saying the first sentence, Shen Qingli thought of the looks of those people today. So that's how it was. It turned out that she was the only one who didn't know.
She was thinking wildly, a hero saving a beautiful woman, coming to her house? What could he do? To pledge himself to her?
She looked at Meng Xiao expressionlessly, but Meng Xiao noticed at the first moment that her expression had turned a little colder. He knew that his little girl was the most jealous and sour.
He reached out again and took Shen Qingli into his arms. This time, Shen Qingli did not struggle. He continued, "Don't be angry. I haven't finished speaking. She did come for me, but you could also say she didn't come for me."
"Don't you think that what you say is inconsistent?" Shen Qingli said in a sullen and sarcastic voice.
His heart ached. He should have stopped keeping the secret and confessed quickly! If he kept on pestering his wife, she would be really angry!
"Don't worry, I..."
"I'm not anxious. Who is anxious? Are you anxious because you feel guilty?"
“……Okay, okay, I’m anxious, can you listen to me now?” he said helplessly.
Shen Qingli snorted reluctantly, and then he continued, "That female comrade came here to find Meng Xiao, but the Meng Xiao she was looking for wasn't me."
Shen Qingli was about to get angry with him and keep him in suspense, but he endured it. If he interrupted again, he wouldn't be able to finish his story until tomorrow.
"She was looking for Meng Xiao, with whom she had been corresponding for over three years. She also had my photo. Everyone was confused.
Then after investigation and evidence collection, it turned out that a comrade who was carrying out the mission with us at that time asked for her mailing address. The girl thought that I asked him to get it for her, and this person deliberately kept it vague.
Because he said he was not good-looking and inferior to me in every aspect, he felt inferior to me. So in the days that followed, he kept in touch with this girl by letter, pretending to be me, and agreed to pick her up three years later, that is, this year. But the girl did not wait for him to pick her up, and secretly traveled thousands of miles alone by train for three days to come.
She originally wanted to give this so-called "Meng Xiao" a surprise, but someone told her that Meng Xiao and Meng Tuan were already married. She suspected that her motives were impure. The girl was also hot-blooded and had a strong temper, so she didn't believe it and started making a fuss.
Later, I came back after solving the problem!"
