NOVEL NEXT “Madam, don’t worry. We’ll be there soon.”
The soldiers had been leading the way in front of her, but Su Ruoqing felt a little strange. It seemed to be the one she took to come to the border herself.
“Was it General Leng’s decision to temporarily change the camp? It’s even more desolate here.”
“It wasn’t General Leng’s decision. It was Mr. Bai who brought us here. There’s a big villa of his family up ahead, and we now use it as our temporary residence.”
Su Ruoqing thought of Bai Peiya, who had saved her before. She remembered that Miss Bai also lived in a big villa. Su Ruoqing didn’t expect there were so many large houses in the wilderness.
“Mr. Bai?”
“Mr. Bai is the son of President Bai. Everyone in the military calls him that.”
Su Ruoqing thought for a while. Leng Yuhe seemed to have mentioned this person to her before, but Leng Yuhe should be the supreme commander of the army. How could Mr. Bai give the order?
Looking at Su Ruoqing’s puzzled expression, the soldier was a little guilty.
“Madam, I told you that General Leng was slightly injured because I wanted to comfort you. Now we’re almost there, so…”
Hearing this, Su Ruoqing became anxious. She couldn’t help but raise her voice, “What did you say? Then how is he how? Tell me the truth quickly.”
The soldier was frightened by her reaction. “General Leng did lose a lot of blood after he was injured. He had also been in a coma for two days, but now he is fine. Madam, don’t worry.”
Bleeding, coma…These were things that Su Ruoqing didn’t know before. She quickened her pace, wanting to see Leng Yuhe as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the person Su Ruoqing missed so badly was drinking on his own. Leng Yuhe couldn’t figure out Su Ruoqing’s words on the phone that day. Why did she tell him not to be angry? Why did she ask him to forgive her?
He drank many glasses of wine. Although he was a good drinker, he still got drunk heavily. He gradually became dizzy and semiconscious.
“Ruoqing, Ruoqing …” His breathing smelled of liquor. Alcohol stimulated his taste buds and made him feel light-headed. He could only remember his beloved woman.
Bai Peiya was worried since Leng Yuhe hadn’t left the room for a day.
“Did General Leng eat today?”
“Miss Bai, General Leng didn’t let anyone in his room today. Our people who went to deliver food were also kicked out, but…”
“But what?” Bai Peiya was anxious.
“General Leng asked people to send a lot of wine into his room, which was enough for three or four people to drink.”
Bai Peiya didn’t know Leng Yuhe’s concerns, but she was worried about his health and asked someone to prepare a meal for him.
“General Leng? General Leng? I know you’re in there. Can you open the door and let me in?”
Bai Peiya knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. After thinking for a while, she pushed the door open and directly went in.
The room was full of the smell of alcohol, but she could not see where he was.
“General Leng, are you there? Leng Yuhe?”
Bai Peiya continued to walk inside with the meal and finally saw the unconscious Leng Yuhe, who was leaning over the table. His upper body could hardly be seen because the table was covered by a pile of documents and drawings.
The ground was full of empty wine bottles, and a few had fallen to pieces. Bai Peiya felt sorry for Leng Yuhe when seeing him motionless. She put the dishes aside and helped him up.
“Leng Yuhe? Can you hear me? Why did you drink so much?” Bai Peiya pushed the motionless man to support him up, but she couldn’t pull him up with all her strength, so she could only let him lean on the back of the chair first.
She took a hot towel and helped him wipe his face and hands in the hope that it would make him a little sober.
“Ruoqing, Ruoqing …” Leng Yuhe unconsciously called the name of Su Ruoqing, and he looked painful.
Bai Peiya stopped her movement and asked, “What did you say?”
The voice of Leng Yuhe was intermittent and low. Bai Peiya didn’t know Su Ruoqing since she just returned from abroad, so she didn’t know what he was saying.
She lowered her body and got closer to Leng Yuhe. “What do you want to say? Say it again.”
What Bai Peiya didn’t see was that the man beside her suddenly opened his eyes and held her in his arms. She was about to struggle, but she suddenly recalled that he also held her tightly when saving her life back then,
Although she had never been in such intimate contact with a man, Bai Peiya felt that the embrace of Leng Yuhe was incredibly warm and nice. She slowly stretched out her hands and put them around his neck nervously. Then she leaned her whole body against his chest. The smell of alcohol seemed to make her dizzy.
“Ruoqing? Are you Ruoqing?”
Feeling that the girl in his arms were as obedient as Ruoqing, Leng Yuhe suddenly used more strength to hold the person in his arms tightly.
Bai Peiya immersed herself in her happy world, and she did not hear Leng Yuhe’s words clearly. She only felt that he must also like her, otherwise he would not hold her so tightly when drunk.
Leng Yuhe didn’t get a response from the girl. “I will just treat her as Ruoqing, as if nothing has happened between us…” he thought to himself.
“Madam, it’s here.”
The soldier finally brought Su Ruoqing to the destination, but when she looked at the familiar villa and scene in front of her, she was surprised. It was out of her expectation that Bai Peiya lived in the army’s garrison.
“I’ve been here before. Why haven’t I found…”
“Madam, it’s an honour to meet you.”
Before she finished asking, a soldier saluted to her. Su Ruoqing looked down at herself and figured out the reason. Last time Bai Peiya brought her here, she looked disheveled. It was understandable that the soldiers didn’t recognize her at that time. Thinking of this, Su Ruoqing smiled helplessly.
If someone had recognized her then, she would have met with Leng Yuhe. In that case, she wouldn’t have undergone so many difficulties to find him.
The villa’s area was vast. She had to walk for a while to go to Leng Yuhe’s room. The soldier heard Su Ruoqing’s unfinished words and asked her, “Madam, have you been here before?”
“Yes. I had some trouble on my way to find General Leng. Fortunately, a lady named Bai Peiya saved my life, but I haven’t repaid her yet… By the way, who is she? And why is she staying here with you?”
“Miss Bai is the President’s daughter. She arrived with the reinforcements. I didn’t expect that she saved your life before. It seems that you two are brought together by fate.”
“Yes…” Su Ruoqing felt a little happy. She could see Leng Yuhe immediately, and she also knew the identity of the girl who saved her life.
The two of them talked to each other while walking, and then they reached the door of Leng Yuhe’s room.
The soldier who passed by saw Su Ruoqing and he put on a strange look. “Madam, how did you come here…” He knew that Bai Peiya was in Leng Yuhe’s room now. If General Leng’s fiancee saw that scene…
Su Ruoqing noticed the soldier’s strange look, but she just ignored him. She turned around and asked the soldier who had been leading the way, “Is this Leng Yuhe’s room?”
The soldier nodded, and Su Ruoqing walked straight forward. “You two can leave now.” With that, she reached out and pushed the door open.
The strong smell of liquor came, and Su Ruoqing quickly covered her nose with one hand. She began to worry about Leng Yuhe and wondered whether his wounds had healed. She couldn’t understand why he had drunk so much wine.
After entering the room, Su Ruoqing was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she slowly put her hand off her nose. She could not believe what she saw, and she took a few steps closer.
A woman was sitting on Leng Yuhe’s lap, while he was putting his arms around her slender waist. Many bottles of wine were scattered on the ground, and the two people were staring affectionately at each other, as if something had happened between them.
After Su Ruoqing saw everything clearly, tears fell down her face uncontrollably. What was the relationship between Leng Yuhe and that woman? Did Leng Yuhe let other women accompany him during her absence? Did he forget her?
Su Ruoqing was so distressed that she felt like her breath had stopped. She walked to Leng Yuhe and that woman with heavy steps.
The broken wine bottle stabbed her feet, and the red blood permeated her white shoes, but Su Ruoqing felt no pain. She just wanted to confront Leng Yuhe and figure out what had happened.
Bai Peiya finally heard the sound and raised her head from Leng Yuhe’s arms. When seeing the face of the person who came, she was a little surprised.
“How could it be you? How did you get in?”
Su Ruoqing recognized Bai Peiya. At this moment, she actually wanted to laugh, for the lifesaver she wanted to repay was now in her fiance’s arms in front of her.
Seeing that Su Ruoqing just kept crying with a sad expression, Bai Peiya stood up, and her movement pulled Leng Yuhe back to his senses.
“I’m asking you questions. Didn’t you hear me? You left before. Why did you come back again? Who do you think you are? Who brought you in?” Bai Peiya was annoyed, because Su Ruoqing disturbed her when she was with Leng Yuhe alone.
Su Ruoqing wiped the tears on her face. “You want to know who I am, right? I’m this man’s fiancee!”
She said fiercely with great determination, and when Leng Yuhe heard the familiar voice, he tried to regain consciousness.
Bai Peiya didn’t believe the words of Su Ruoqing at all. She had high social status, and she had never been confronted by others since childhood. As a result, she was furious now.
“What nonsense are you talking about? This isn’t a place you’re allowed to step in. Get out of here!” With that, she wanted to find someone to take Su Ruoqing away.
Leng Yuhe was trying to recognize the voice of Su Ruoqing, but he was suddenly interrupted. He was annoyed and angry, and he directly shouted, “Shut up and get out!”
Su Ruoqing was shocked and dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe that Leng Yuhe had become like this after parting from her for a short time. He not only had intimate relationship with another woman, but also scolded her for that woman.
Su Ruoqing only felt that Leng Yuhe was more terrifying than when she first met him. She felt the man in front of her was like a stranger. Everything was clear now, and she didn’t want to ask more, so she walked out in disappointment, leaving footprints stained with blood.
Bai Peiya went downstairs, told the soldiers that there was an assassin upstairs and she wanted to take someone to catch the assassin. Several soldiers rushed up behind her, but they met Su Ruoqing who was going downstairs.
“Madam, why are you here? How did you hurt your feet? Did the assassin hurt you? Where is General Leng?”
The soldier’s questions made Bai Peiya panicked, for she never imagined that Su Ruoqing could really be Leng Yuhe’s fiancee.
Bai Chongxiu heard the noise and hurriedly rushed over. “What are you all doing here? What happened?”
