âIâd be honored to stay in my position,â Feng Ji Chuan said with pride. Aunty Feng immediately smacked the back of his head.
âYou may be honored, but have you considered your fatherâs and my feelings? Weâre constantly living in fear and worry. I nearly fainted when I heard that you were shot this time around. Have you thought about Nian Xi, to whom youâre promised? Sheâs a policewoman now solely because of you. How can you tell us that you still want to stay in the troops? Iâll have to teach you a lesson on her behalf.â
Uncle Feng was furious, too. âTransfer, you have to transfer back. Youâre not my son if you donât do the transfer.â
âDad, didnât you tell me from the time I was young that I must be prepared to sacrifice myself for our country when I entered the army?â Feng Ji Chuan frowned.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before Uncle Feng could reply, Nian Xi croaked, âYou donât have to contribute to our country in his manner. I am a policewoman, and Iâm serving our citizens all the same. Even if you donât transfer back home, you can stay in the Xia City military camp and train other soldiers. Ji Chuan, donât you love me anymore?â
Feng Ji Chuan was shocked. He raised his head and saw her eyes turn red. His heart ached when he saw the sadness in her eyes. âOf course not. Xiao Xi, donât read too much into this.â
âYou can tell me if you donât love me anymore, itâs ok. Iâm not the kind to pester you incessantly.â Nian Xi shrugged. âIâve done my best to respect your decisions and adhere to what we agreed upon at the beginning. Iâve waited for you patiently for so many years only to have you tell me that you want to continue your stay there. How can you expect me to sacrifice each time? If you had told me right from the start that you never wanted to come back, I might not have spent my days waiting for your return with anticipation. I donât think you even want to marry me anymore after hearing all of this.â She turned and left after speaking her mind.
Nian Qingyun had calmed down. âFeng, you should speak with your son. Nian Xi wasnât wrong in saying all that. Itâs ok if he doesnât want to go through with the marriage anymore. We can call off the engagement. I just donât want to waste any more of my daughterâs time. I admit that Ji Chuan is an outstanding young man, but there are plenty of other impressive suitors out there. Truthfully, I am very disappointed in you, Ji Chuan. Youâre being very selfish here.â He turned to leave when he finished but stopped at the door and looked at Nian Junting. âYou come out here, too.â
Nian Junting frowned and led Luosang out of the room. Nian Qingyun looked at Luosang with a cold expression. âDonât tell me youâre really marrying this woman. Iâm ok with you dating her, but marriage is out of the question.â
Luosang frowned. She couldnât believe all the obstacles placed in front of her just to be with the man she loved.
âWhat position are you in to tell me this?â Nian Junting asked calmly.
âIâm telling you this as your father, of course.â Nian Qingyun was outraged by his sonâs impudence.
âYou donât have the right to tell me this. Donât forget what youâve done. I canât believe youâre telling me this without any sense of embarrassment.â Nian Junting smirked. âIf I were to listen to you, I guess should also go sleep around with my best friendâs wife.â
âYou...â Nian Qingyun glanced over at Luosang. His face was red with both anger and embarrassment.
âI might listen to my mother if she came over to talk to me, but Iâll never pay any attention to what you say,â Nian Junting said coolly. âIâm only acknowledging you because of grandpa and grandma, so donât flatter yourself too much. Mother has already approved of Luosang, so did maternal grandma and grandpa. Donât stir up any more trouble.â
âIsnât your mother being ridiculous?â
âI think that she has always been ridiculous. After all, she did marry you in the first place. The wisest thing she did in her life was give birth to me.â Nian Junting smirked again and walked off with Luosang.
