"Are you serious?" Ren Zhaodi looked up at Fang Leiluo and her gaze changed.
The voice was completely devoid of warmth, and Fang Leiluo was startled for a moment, but he quickly realized that he had Ren Zhaodi under his control!
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Fang Leilu raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I'm serious! I'm asking you one last time, will Jiang Jingzhou still die on the mission? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I might say something to your family."
"Won't."
Ren Zhaodi replied without hesitation.
"Why not? Did you remind Lin Zhaoyue?"
Fang Leiluo suddenly reached out and grabbed Ren Zhaodi by the neck, pinning her against the wall. His voice was forceful and threatening, "Speak!"
“No…cough cough,” Ren Zhaodi coughed violently, her face turning red. “I didn’t remind her.”
"..." Fang Leiluo suddenly loosened his grip, and Ren Zhaodi lost her support. She abruptly squatted down to ease the discomfort in her neck. For a moment, Ren Zhaodi really thought Fang Leiluo was going to kill her.
She had finally been given a second chance at life, and her new life was just beginning; she didn't want to die.
Fang Leiluo is different; he's having a rough time right now and is prone to impulsiveness.
"You'd better be telling the truth. If I find out even a single lie, your life is over..."
Fang Leiluo lowered his voice and threatened, "Perhaps I won't even need to lift a finger. You should know better than I what kind of people your parents are!"
Ren Zhaodi's neck was in severe pain. She slowly stood up, supporting herself against the wall behind her. When she spoke again, her voice was clearly strained.
"It's no use for you to pressure me here. Lin Zhaoyue has the Jiang family protecting her, and besides, you're already married. Do you really think that even without Jiang Jingzhou, Lin Zhaoyue would still be interested in you?"
Ren Zhaodi thought he was simply daydreaming!
Lin Zhaoyue never had a crush on Fang Leiluo from beginning to end.
Besides, he has children. Even if she never gets married, she will never be with Fang Leiluo.
Whether she likes me or not is none of your business.
Fang Leiluo's voice was deep and resonant. "I'm warning you, there are some things that should be said and some things that shouldn't be said. I hope you can keep that in mind."
Ren Zhaodi: "..." She touched her neck and knew without looking that it must have been choked until it bled!
What a scoundrel!
They really don't care about their past relationship as husband and wife at all.
After Fang Leiluo left, Ren Zhaodi returned to her room, still feeling unsettled.
She couldn't sleep that night. Fang Leiluo's warning made her realize that some dangers should be dealt with in advance so that they wouldn't become leverage for others to threaten her.
...
The male and female leads have now completely broken up, and the plot is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
[The current male and female leads are Lin Zhaoyue and Jiang Jingzhou, what's so hard to understand? ╮(￣⊿￣)╭]
Fang Leiluo seems to be showing signs of turning to the dark side. Could he be targeting Jiang Jingzhou next?
Anything is possible. What did Zhaoyue do to deserve this?
[...]
Lin Zhaoyue was lost in thought for a moment after seeing the comments on the screen, when she heard Jiang Jingzhou enter the room and push open the door behind her.
"Mom asked me to ask you if the food she made tonight wasn't to your liking? Why didn't you eat much?"
Jiang Jingzhou's voice was gentle. When Lin Zhaoyue saw him asking, she shook her head and said, "No, I just don't have much of an appetite."
"Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?" Jiang Jingzhou immediately frowned. Why would someone suddenly lose their appetite?
The man's concern made Lin Zhaoyue somewhat worried, as she thought of the unknown dangers mentioned in the comments.
“Jingzhou,”
"Hmm?" Jiang Jingzhou asked in a low voice, waiting for Lin Zhaoyue to continue. "What's wrong?"
"You still need to be careful. Never let your guard down. Remember, the children and I are waiting for you to come home safely."
Lin Zhaoyue nestled in Jiang Jingzhou's arms and said meaningfully, "If we're being realistic, I really don't want you to continue in the army..."
The key issue is that it's unrealistic. Jiang Jingzhou can't possibly not participate in the mission because of these unknown circumstances. He has his own future to pursue, just like her work. They both have different goals.
"I know."
Jiang Jingzhou held his wife in his arms and gently patted her shoulder. "I'll be fine. Don't overthink things. Hmm? I think you're not losing your appetite, you're just thinking too much. Never worry about dangers that haven't happened yet. We'll deal with them when they actually happen. Or maybe the things you're worrying about will never happen. Isn't that too tiring? Life should be more relaxed. You haven't been back to see Dad for a long time. Do you want to go back and see him tomorrow?"
“There’s one more thing,”
Lin Zhaoyue almost forgot to discuss it with him.
“My dad and my uncle are planning to go back to business. They intend to return to their old ways. They told me when they went back a while ago that they had mortgaged their house, but the money from the mortgage is far from enough to cover the initial investment. Although my dad didn’t formally ask me for help, I still want to do my part.”
Lin Zhaoyue currently has some savings, but she knows that this amount is still far from enough.
"Consider this money as our investment. If the factory makes a profit, we'll give out dividends every year. What do you think?"
"Can."
Jiang Jingzhou would never question any of her decisions; he would simply accept whatever she made.
"The money we have is probably not enough. You can talk to Mom directly."
