Chapter 2348: Chapter 2352: Do You Want to Hear the Truth or a Lie

"Oh, I see..." Xu Xia was silent on the other end, "Where are you going?"

"Um..." Leng Zirui’s tone was helpless, "I can’t say."

"Another dangerous mission?" Xu Xia’s voice was tinged with concern.

Hearing the worry in her tone, Leng Zirui dared not tell the truth, he just spoke in a relaxed manner, "How can it be? I just told my boss earlier that I’m a husband now, he should assign me fewer dangerous tasks in the future, it’s just... just to command a field training. You’ve seen something similar before, I just sit there and direct them."

"Really?" Xu Xia asked softly on the other end.

Leng Zirui was taken aback, and after a moment replied, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"I want you to tell me the truth after you return, face to face," Xu Xia said over the phone.

She’s not a fool. After being together for so long, she had understood quite a bit about Leng Zirui.

The more he glosses over it and jokes around, the more dangerous the matter proves to be.

Although filled with countless worries, Xu Xia understood, just as Leng Zirui once explained to her, he couldn’t be like other men, always telling her the truth, always shielding her. Loving such a man meant she had to accept not only his virtues but all of him.

Leng Zirui licked his lips, "Don’t worry, dear wife, when the time comes, I’ll be utterly honest with you, no holding back, absolutely... naked!"

"Pervert!" Xu Xia’s face heated up, she cursed softly into the phone. Her previously stifled and worried mood lightened, "I’ll return to Beijing after the event to reshoot photos and attend some promotional activities, so I’ll be in the country for a while."

"Xu Xia, it’s time to board the plane!" Lan Zi checked her watch, walked over, and reminded.

Xu Xia waved at her, indicating she got the message, "I’m about to board the plane, heading to Shanghai."

"We’re on the same path, I’m flying south too, but a bit farther than you," Leng Zirui blew a virtual kiss into the phone, "Take care of yourself, my wife."

"I know, no need to worry about me, just take care of yourself. I’ll tell you, when you come back, I’ll count every hair strand; for every missing strand, you’ll spend a night on the floor, so deal with it accordingly."

Xu Xia tried to keep her tone light; he had a mission, and she didn’t want to add to his psychological burden.

This time, Leng Zirui, surprisingly, didn’t make any jokes but rather solemnly agreed, "I promise, I’ll come back safely."

"Then I’ll hang up."

"Wait, remember to eat on time, ask Lan Zi to prepare some stomach medicine for you, and don’t drink cold water. You can have a few bites of ice cream, but that’s it... Did you remember?"

"I remember, General Leng."

"Okay, you’re allowed to hang up now."

Xu Xia smiled as she hung up the phone. On the other end, Leng Zirui let out a light sigh, stepped towards the door, and rapidly started operating his phone, entered the message box, and began reading her sent messages in chronological order.

These messages, from when he left Beijing until the period Xu Xia was in Rome. He wasn’t by her side, couldn’t call, couldn’t meet, sending messages became Xu Xia’s sole medium for confiding in him.

"The wedding is about to start, Leng Zimo is truly a good man. If only I could have such a romantic wedding."

"Xiao Qian got into trouble, Leng Zirui, you bastard, why did you have to go for training at this time? If you were here, maybe nothing would have happened to her..."

"Zirui, I’m so sad, I didn’t expect the perfect wedding to turn out like this."

Goodnight
