NOVEL NEXT After giving the healthcare product to Su Ruoqing, Leng Yulin exchanged pleasantries with her and then left.
After he left, Mingzhu grabbed Su Ruoqing’s arm with a shy look on her face and asked, “Ruoqing, who is he?”
“He is Leng Yulin, the elder brother of Leng Yuhe. It seems like he has studied abroad for a long time before returning.”
“Oh, Leng Yulin…”
Seeing that Mingzhu was in a trance, Su Ruoqing poked her head with one finger and said, “You are giggling now. Did you fall in love with him at first sight?”
“Nonsense. How could it be?”
Since Su Ruoqing had seen through her, Mingzhu hurriedly pulled her away.
Being delayed by Leng Yulin for a while, Su Ruoqing and Mingzhu were late for class. All the ladies who took the etiquette course were high-ranking officials’ daughters, and they were at the same age as Mingzhu and Su Ruoqing.
Seeing Su Ruoqing coming in, some ladies gathered together and whispered to each other, “Do you see that girl? She is the fiancee of the General Leng.”
“She looks so ordinary.”
“I hold the same opinion as you. I also had dinner with the Young General before, but he didn’t take interest in me…”
“Let’s stop talking about her. She’s looking at us now. We will be severely punished if we provoke her.”
Su Ruoqing heard their words clearly, and she felt a little sad. These people showed respect to her only because of her status as the Young General’s fiancee. She must be a better woman so that when mentioning them, everyone would feel she was a perfect match for Leng Yuhe.
The whole morning’s etiquette course was a bit dull, but Su Ruoqing took it seriously. She even wanted to remember everything the teacher said.
“Ruoqing, this course is even more boring than the ones I took in Country Y.” Mingzhu yawned and asked, “Ruoqing, why are you still so energetic?”
Su Ruoqing was recalling the contents of the class just now. Since she was suddenly interrupted by Mingzhu, she had to stop it first.
“You silly girl, I work so hard because the man I’m about to marry is too excellent. If I don’t get better, how can I be worthy of him?”
“I don’t know if you are getting better or not. I just know that you’re becoming more thick-skinned. In the past, you would never say in front of me that you like Leng Yuhe.”
The two of them joked and chatted freely with each other, and then they went home separately.
For the following days, Su Ruoqing went to class on time every day. Although her classmates always mocked her, she just treated their mockeries as an incentive to encourage herself to become better.
The war with Province S was imminent. Leng Yuhe had already arranged everything in advance, so he was not very nervous. Bai Chongxiu listened to his opinion to prevent the news from spreading, which not only calmed down the residents, but also made the enemies let down their guard.
In Province S.
“Commander, Leng Yuhe doesn’t seem to know that we are about to start a war.”
“Don’t underestimate Leng Yuhe. In my opinion, even that old president is not as capable and resourceful as he is. I’m afraid he has already known that we will wage a war.”
When hearing the familiar name, Su Zhiyou secretly leaned against the door to eavesdrop.
“Commander, what should we do now?”
“You don’t have to worry. Intelligence is as important as force when two armies fight together. I’ve already figured out the method. You just need to step up the training of the soldiers.”
The more Su Zhiyou listened, the more she felt that one of the voices was familiar. She gently opened the door and peeped into the room.
When she saw that man inside clearly, her eyes widened. It was Shen Nan.
It turned out that he had lied to her when he said he was the director of a bureau, and his real identity was the Commander of Province S. Judging from their conversation, Su Zhiyou knew that they were going to launch a war against Leng Yuhe’s army. Recalling that Shen Nan had told her there was another method, Su Zhiyou wondered if it had anything to do with her.
Su Zhiyou couldn’t understand it, so she silently closed the door and went back to her room, pretending that nothing had happened.
On the other side, Leng Yuhe hadn’t returned home for a long time, and he missed Su Ruoqing very much. After handing over the military matters to Adjutant Xu, he directly went home.
In the courtyard, Su Ruoqing was practicing the social dance that she had just learned. It was hot at noon, and there were beads of sweat on her face. The fine hair on her reddened face could be seen clearly.
Leng Yuhe walked into the gate and saw her dancing. Attracted by this eye-catching scene, he was reluctant to disturb her.
She waved, stepped, spun and jumped. She was still not very familiar with the dance steps and looked very clumsy and awkward, but Leng Yuhe felt this was the most beautiful dance he had ever seen.
Perhaps her legs became too weak after she danced for a long time, and she almost fell to the ground. Before she could cry out, she fell into a warm embrace.
“Yuhe, you’re back.”
Leng Yuhe was about to blame her, but when looking at her bright smile, he became soft-hearted.
“I just came back and you threw yourself into my arms. Do you miss me so much?”
Su Ruoqing pushed Leng Yuhe away and stood up, but her face became redder. “Don’t talk nonsense. Go back to your army, and I’ll continue to practice dancing.”
“Ruoqing, stop practicing. Even if you can’t do anything, I only love you. If you get tired and hurt, I’ll feel bad.”
Hearing Leng Yuhe’s words, Su Ruoqing slowly stopped.
“Yuhe, I’ve made up my mind. Don’t worry about me.”
Looking at the girl in front of her, Leng Yuhe suddenly found that she had changed a lot.
Su Ruoqing now looked more beautiful and confident, and she had become a mentally-strong and graceful woman. Her smile and behaviour attracted Leng Yuhe more, and even her fluttering dress and hair fascinated him.
“You are a hero to me. I can only be worthy of you after I become a better woman.”
“Okay, let me join you.”
Leng Yuhe took off the military uniform. Only wearing his white shirt, he began to dance with Su Ruoqing. His shirt matched her white dress, which made them look like a perfect couple.
Under the lead of Leng Yuhe, Su Ruoqing became more proficient in her dance steps, and they cooperated with each other perfectly. Su Ruoqing didn’t stop dancing until she was too exhausted.
After changing their clothes and taking a bath, the two of them sat on the balcony, talking to each other while enjoying the gentle breeze.
“Yuhe, why did you suddenly come back?”
Leng Yuhe thought for a while and decided to tell Su Ruoqing about Province S. “Ruoqing, Province S may soon wage a war against us. I will not be able to accompany you when I fight on the front line, so I will spend a few more days with you while I’m at home.”
“What?” Su Ruoqing had never been involved in any war before, and after hearing Leng Yuhe’s words, she became a little afraid. “Since the war is imminent, you shouldn’t have come back. Staying in the army is your most important thing now.”
Rubbing her hair gently, Leng Yuhe smiled at her and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already arranged the military affairs. Don’t you believe me?”
Leng Yuhe’s confident look made Su Ruoqing gradually feel relieved.
“Ruoqing, if you stay at home with me these few days, I will win in the battlefield.” After gently touching the hair beside Su Ruoqing’s cheeks, Leng Yuhe said seriously.
Su Ruoqing gently poked his chest with her finger and said, “Yes, my lord.”
“Yuhe, do you know that I’ve learned a lot of things in my etiquette class? I learned the etiquette of dining, traveling, dressing, social dancing, and so on. Our teacher even taught us various etiquette about the wedding…”
Before Su Ruoqing could finish her words, Leng Yuhe interrupted her, “Ruoqing, are you reminding me to marry you quickly by saying this?”
“Nonsense. I didn’t say I am going to marry you…”
“Don’t worry, Ruoqing. When this war is over, I will arrange the grandest wedding for you, so that you can marry into the Leng family and be my lawful wife, okay?”
Leng Yuhe’s tone was gentle and domineering, which fascinated her a lot.
“Alright, I’ll be at home waiting for you to return triumphantly.”
Thinking of their bright future life, the two of them became closer.
In Province S.
Lying beside Su Zhiyou, Shen Nan stroked her sexy body and said, “I know that you heard the conversation I had with my subordinates last time.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Su Zhiyou was so nervous that she dared not admit it.
“It’s okay that you refuse to admit it.” Shen Nan gradually moved his hand to Su Zhiyou’s breast and pinched it hard. The intense pain caused her to gasp.
“I always have a purpose in doing things. Although I admit that I like your appearance, you are more useful to me in other aspects.”
Not knowing what he meant, Su Zhiyou just kept silent.
“I know who you are, and I know everything that happened between you and Leng Yuhe and his fiancee. Since you eavesdropped our conversation last time, you should have known that we are about to launch a war against Leng Yuhe’s army. I need you to help me do something.” Lifting up Su Zhiyou’s delicate chin, he kissed her on the face.
Giving her no chance to speak, Shen Nan continued, “I’ll give you all the support, manpower and money. All you need to do is to return home and take your revenge, understand?”
Su Zhiyou suddenly realized his meaning. She had been Shen Nan’s mistress for so long, and she thought that he liked her youth and beauty. However, it turned out that he had already investigated her background and was ready to make use of her hatred towards Leng Yuhe and Su Ruoqing…
Although Su Zhiyou was dissatisfied that she had been used by him so easily, she knew that this was a great opportunity to get back at Su Ruoqing and Leng Yuhe.
Raising her hands, she put her arms around Shen Nan’s neck and continued to kiss him. “I will definitely finish this task perfectly.”
Shen Nan was very satisfied with Su Zhiyu’s obedience. He used some strength to pulled off her pajamas, which were thin as a cicada’s wings…
At the Mings’ villa.
Mingzhu told Mingzhe about the things that she and Su Ruoqing had in the etiquette course every day. After a long time, Mingzhe forgot about Su Zhiyou and took great interest in Su Ruoqing again.
“Mingzhu, I have something to do and I will go out tomorrow morning. How about I drop you off to class?”
Mingzhu didn’t know that Mingzhe wanted to see Su Ruoqing by sending her to class, so she happily agreed.
The next day, Mingzhe had already taken Mingzhu to wait for Su Ruoqing at the gate of the Lengs’ mansion, and he was very excited and anxious.
Finally, the villa’s gate was opened, but the two people who came out were Leng Yuhe and Su Ruoqing. Mingzhe didn’t dare to go forward, so he could only let Mingzhu come over. He just stayed in the distance to look at Su Ruoqing.
Standing at the door, the three of them chatted and laughed. Seeing Su Ruoqing’s smile, Mingzhe thought she had become more confident and beautiful. She had a better dressing style and became more cultured, and Mingzhe was amazed by her great charm.
Leng Yuhe saw Mingzhe in the distance and suddenly frowned. “Why is he here? Does he come here every day?”
“Of course not. I don’t know why he came today.” Seeing that Leng Yuhe was jealous, Su Ruoqing was amused.
Realizing that the situation was a little awkward, Mingzhu quickly explained, “My brother is here today for he is going to take me to class. He has no other intentions.”
