Qiao Mei buried her head in Xia Zhe’s chest out of embarrassment. Xia Zhe tenderly supported Qiao Mei’s waist with one hand and gently held Qiao Mei’s head with the other hand.

“Go, go, go! Why are you making a fuss! Hurry up and get to work! Don’t you want to rest!” Xia Zhe shouted as his ears turned red.

It was dark and no one could see Xia Zhe’s expression or whether he was blushing. Only Qiao Mei knew that Xia Zhe’s body temperature was ridiculously high.

Zheng Yuan decided to imprint this image in her heart. Their lovey-dovey behavior was like a sharp blade stabbing into Zheng Yuan’s heart, repeatedly cutting open a wound that could not heal, torturing her forever.

“I should be the one in his arms. Why is it you?” Zheng Yuan muttered to herself.

After that, he flashed a fawning smile at the young woman, who stared at him for a moment before releasing his ear.

After regaining his freedom, the young man rubbed his ear and cursed at Wind Lord, who was inside the mirror. He was clenching his teeth as if he had shifted all the blame to Wind Lord for the pain he had suffered.

A moment later, he put on a smile and let out a breath before saying, “It’s said that Dao changes everything, be it for better or for worse. Everything in this world is inconstant, including Humans.”

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and directly entered the mirror. As a ripple spread across its surface, the young man disappeared from the room. The next moment, he appeared in the hall and stood in front of Wind Lord.

The young man was handsome and his smile appeared harmless. Wind Lord was flabbergasted because from his perspective, the young man appeared too abruptly, as though he just walked out of the Void with no signs prior to that.

Wind Lord narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man warily, given that even with his cultivation, he still wasn’t able to gauge how powerful this young man was. Other than the fact that he himself was in a terrible state currently, it also went to show that the young man before him was truly extraordinary.

Qiao Mei nodded and went into the tent to take a rest. She believed that Xia Zhe would be able to handle this matter well and seek justice for her and their child. She was unable to say that she was not frightened by the scene just now. Her first reaction was to fight back though, which was all thanks to her grandfather’s years of education, and that reaction was what saved her and her baby.

“Grandfather… I miss you now…” Qiao Mei said as she sat on the bed and touched her belly.

Outside the tent, Xia Zhe asked Zhuang Hua to let go of Zheng Yuan. After all, she was the deputy battalion commander. Even if she had made a mistake, she should not be treated in this manner.

“Let her go,” Xia Zhe said.

“Let go? What if…” Zhuang Hua looked into Xia Zhe’s eyes and did not finish his sentence. He sighed and said, “Let go of her. The two of you can return to the team.”

Zheng Yuan got up in a sorry state and patted the dust off her body as she gave Xia Zhe a devastated look.

“Why are you treating me like this?” Zheng Yuan asked with tears in her eyes.

Zhuang Hua’s eyes widened. There was going to be drama. He knew what had always been on Zheng Yuan’s mind. Not only that, it would be more accurate to say that the entire troop knew that Zheng Yuan wanted to marry Xia Zhe and that Zheng Yuan’s father was also trying his best to make it happen.

However, no one expected Xia Zhe to settle his marriage on his own. Even though Zheng Yuan’s father and Xia Zhe’s father had discussed this matter before, it turned out useless in the end.
