Chapter 528: A Moment of Tenderness (3)
"It’s fine, don’t worry." Mu Qiancheng reached out to gently tousle Jiang Xue’s hair, not wanting to tell her about his own matters.
However, what he didn’t know was that Jiang Xue was a sensitive person, and she had lived another life. Moreover, it wasn’t a holiday for Mu Qiancheng, so how could he possibly not have to go back?
Recalling that afternoon when Mu Qiancheng’s expression didn’t seem quite right, Jiang Xue became increasingly worried. She directly pulled Mu Qiancheng back into the room, then entered the space, looking at him seriously and said, "Qian Cheng, it’s very safe here, no need to worry about our conversation being overheard. So tell me, what exactly happened?"
Mu Qiancheng was stunned and looked at Jiang Xue for a long time without speaking. He glanced around and realized it was the same place he had entered before, the space Jiang Xue had told him about.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to bring him into the space just to ask him questions.
But he really didn’t want Jiang Xue to worry, so he thought about whether he should just lie or something. Yet, to his surprise, Jiang Xue had already seen through his intention and said, "Qian Cheng, I want to hear the truth, don’t just make up an excuse to fool me, like this afternoon when there was obviously something wrong, but you told me it was nothing."
The words that had reached Mu Qiancheng’s mouth got stuck in his throat and then he slowly swallowed them back. Since Jiang Xue had said that, he certainly couldn’t lie to her anymore.
So, he looked deeply at his little wife before telling her what had happened today, but he still didn’t tell the whole truth; he didn’t tell her he had been demoted.
After listening to Mu Qiancheng, Jiang Xue was very angry. Her impression of Lu Ling had plummeted.
That damned woman, didn’t she say she liked Mu Qiancheng? Is this how she shows her love? Reporting him and having her father intervene to mess with Mu Qiancheng, truly despicable.
However, she wasn’t from their circle, even if she wanted to help Mu Qiancheng, she couldn’t. At this moment, Jiang Xue felt a little resentful of her own powerlessness.
Although she had achieved some small successes, she was still far from being strong. She needed to become stronger quickly, so she could truly stand by Mu Qiancheng’s side and help him when he needed it.
Rather than, like now, having to let Mu Qiancheng handle everything, even her problems needed his intervention.
It seemed she had to become stronger quickly.
Previously, she thought she could just take things slowly and expand her career bit by bit, but now it seemed too slow. She needed to speed up.
"Qian Cheng, what are you going to do?" Jiang Xue couldn’t think of a solution herself, but wanted to know how Mu Qiancheng would handle it. After all, his job had already been replaced by someone else; he can’t just stay at home, can he?
And if he stayed out of the workforce for too long, it might be hard for him to return to his unit in the future.
"Xue’er, you don’t need to worry, I’ll take care of it." Mu Qiancheng extended his arm to pull his little wife into his embrace. He wasn’t worried about the work issue. He had been a soldier for so many years; although his rank wasn’t high, he wasn’t someone easy to push around.
The reason he hadn’t immediately retaliated was because he wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a break and spend time with his parents, wife, and children.
After all, in all these years of being a soldier, he had very little time at home, and even less time to be with his family.
Mr. Lu wanted to stir things up for him, so he took the chance to free up some time to be with his family more. As for the soldiers in training, he wasn’t worried. With Chen Ming around, they would surely complete their training tasks.
