Exposing her would be extremely dangerous for her; the fewer people who know about her secrets, the better.
He knew perfectly well how twisted researchers were these days.
Once someone with ulterior motives discovers this, they will inevitably relentlessly pursue Sheng Qian.
Until she was put on the operating table.
Thinking of this, Long Yunting's eyes turned cold.
With him around, there's absolutely no chance for anyone to take advantage of him.
“This is what I should do, you don’t need to feel guilty. Qianqian, I haven’t been able to take good care of you usually, so you’ll have to rely on me a little here.” Long Yunting opened the cap of the water bag for her and handed it to her.
As soon as Sheng Qian took the water bag, Long Yunting leaned down and kissed her lips.
Even though it was just a light kiss, it still made Sheng Qian blush.
With so many people walking around outside, someone must have seen us.
This person...
Long Yunting felt no shame at kissing his wife; he was completely at ease with it.
He's not a frivolous person; isn't it normal for lovers to kiss?
Sheng Qian quickly drank some water and stood up: "Where is the nearest water source? I'm going to wash my face."
"Just use these to wash. The water source is a bit far away," Long Yunting also wanted to take her there, but the road was indeed a bit far.
He entrusted Sheng Qian to his own people for care and went to find water as quickly as possible, essentially running a cross-country race through the mountains and forests.
I'm afraid that if I stay away for too long, Sheng Qian will be in danger here alone.
“You went through all that trouble to get it, so keep it for drinking,” Sheng Qian said.
"There will be other water sources along the way, so don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Qian hastily washed her face and rinsed her mouth with the water he had brought back.
Long Yunting gave Sheng Qian the portion of dry rations he had brought. Sheng Qian wanted to say that she had brought her own, but Long Yunting insisted on giving it to her.
After they finished eating their dry rations, Long Yunting took her hands and gently wiped them.
Sheng Qian found it both funny and heartwarming.
She just watched as Long Yunting treated her so earnestly.
“I’m not some pampered young lady. You don’t have to act like this in this remote mountain forest.”
"No matter where you are, I should take good care of you."
He couldn't bear to see Sheng Qian suffer here.
Sheng Qian chuckled again, "What do you mean by 'should do'? It's a two-way street; there's no such thing as one party 'should do'."
Long Yunting pursed his lips and remained silent.
He was happy to treat Sheng Qianhao this way.
He felt happy when he treated her well.
Sheng Qian seemed to understand his silence, smiled helplessly, and let him be.
Chen Zhao walked over and cleared his throat: "Captain Long, we can set off now."
Long Yunting nodded and took Sheng Qian's hand as they stood up.
Fu Huoqing and the others also wanted to go out, so they continued walking forward.
It's better for everyone to stay together and look out for each other.
However, he felt inexplicably wary of the presence of people from the Ye family of Haicheng around Sheng Qian.
Those are members of the Ye family from Haicheng.
Just like encountering the Yan family of Haicheng.
Several top families in Haicheng have other businesses operating behind the scenes, and the Ye family is one of them.
Therefore, they still harbored some reservations about the Ye family.
Sheng Qian noticed it, but didn't say anything more.
Anyway, once they get outside, they'll probably have to go their separate ways.
Long Yunting saw her off, so they must be going back to the capital together.
Fu Huoqing and Sheng Mu might not go to the capital.
"Sheng Qian, I remember you're a researcher. I wonder how things are going with Professor Xu?"
"Mr. Xu is doing well. He is currently doing the work he enjoys, and he is receiving excellent treatment in terms of compensation, so you don't need to worry."
Upon hearing the honorific title, Fu Huoqing couldn't help but glance at Sheng Qian.
She had a strange fondness for Sheng Qian. If it weren't for her age, she would have wondered if she had given birth to a daughter somewhere.
That's right.
Sheng Qian felt like family to her.
"When we first met, I felt that you looked familiar, Sheng Qian. Have we met before at some point?"
Fu Huoqing asked in confusion.
Sheng Qian smiled and said, "Perhaps we were family in our past lives."
“…You really know how to joke,” Fu Huoqing’s lips twitched slightly.
Long Yunting glanced at her sideways.
I remembered what Sheng Qian said to me at the end.
She asked him if he believed in rebirth.
Hearing her mention her past life now makes my heart tighten.
He glanced at Fu Huoqing and Sheng Mu again, recalling the scene from last night, and seemed to understand something.
But now is not the time to ask Sheng Qian.
"There seems to be a temporary shed up ahead..." Before Chen Zhao could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard.
Sheng Qian was immediately protected in Long Yunting's arms.
They all reacted quickly and dodged the gunfire in an instant.
Fu Huoqing looked over at Long Yunting and winked at him.
Long Yunting nodded slightly, then winked at Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao received the order and led his men around the road, cautiously making their way forward.
However, they were discovered after taking only a few steps.
The enemy has a high sniping position!
The person in a high position must be eliminated first.
Sheng Qian looked up, only to be pulled back into Long Yunting's arms.
Sheng Qian was annoyed, but she didn't do anything rash.
At such close range, speaking could easily expose one's identity.
She could only listen quietly to the sounds around her, and react immediately if she noticed anything amiss.
