Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Unruly Sister-in-law

Qin Tianxuan was currently recuperating at the base on the second line of defense.

He was covered in injuries, had a persistent high fever, and couldn’t even make a sound.

Holding his phone, he could only write an email home.

Niannian and Weiwei had called him at least a hundred times during this period.

But he couldn’t answer right now.

He especially didn’t dare to start a video call.

If Niannian saw him like this, she would be terrified.

But that evening, Han Biwei requested a video call again.

Qin Tianxuan covered his injuries with a bedsheet and reluctantly accepted the call.

His voice was hoarse. "Weiwei, don’t be scared. I’m fine, just have a bit of a fever!"

His voice was terrifyingly hoarse.

On the other end of the call, Han Biwei burst into tears the moment she saw him.

"Everyone in Su City is saying... they’re saying a lot of people died. Someone said you died in the line of duty... I didn’t dare tell Niannian, but I... I can’t sleep or eat!"

Qin Tianxuan was speechless, his voice still raspy. "I’ll be back soon. I’m fine. Don’t tell the kid."

Han Biwei stared with her beautiful, wide eyes. "Why... why are you covering yourself? Let me see. A-are you hurt?"

Qin Tianxuan shook his head repeatedly.

Just then, Lingsu came to change his bandages and yanked the sheet away. "Sir, you’ll get an infection like this!"

On the other side of the video call, Han Biwei’s entire body began to tremble.

The wounds crisscrossed his body, a shocking sight of torn flesh and blood.

Han Biwei nearly fainted.

She bit her lip, holding back tears. "Brother Tianxuan, come back! No matter how badly you’re hurt, I’ll take care of you. The moment you’re back, I’m marrying you! A real wedding!"

Huh?

Before Qin Tianxuan could say anything, she hung up.

Lingsu, who was changing his bandages, was also stunned. "My goodness, Sir. Your marriage to the madam is fake?"

"Shh. There are too many people here. Don’t speak carelessly!" Qin Tianxuan frowned and sat up.

Lingsu quickly scrambled up and used her own soft body as a cushion, letting Qin Tianxuan lean against her lap.

This beautiful woman, the Divine Doctor of the Celestial Medicine Hall who had followed Qin Tianxuan for many years, now felt her heart in turmoil.

She had thought that after Lady Shuanghua left, the Sir had found a new home for his heart.

’I never expected it to be a fake marriage!’

’Then it must have been a last resort for the child’s sake.’

’Does that mean... I can finally be brave and fight for a chance?’

Lingsu’s heart was in absolute chaos.

From the moment she became the Night Emperor’s subordinate, Lingsu had been in love with Qin Tianxuan.

Perhaps at first, it was only admiration.

But after years of fighting side-by-side on the battlefield, relying on each other, their bond as comrades-in-arms had deepened.

Eventually, Lingsu had fallen deeply and irrevocably in love.

But limited by her status, she had always guarded this unrequited love, unwilling to confess.

"Lingsu, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, Sir, I... I wasn’t thinking about anything. It’s just... you and Miss Han can’t keep up this charade."

Qin Tianxuan gave a bitter smile and slowly explained the whole story.

"Back then, Weiwei didn’t know my identity. To get the Han Family to help me, she lied and said we were married. Later, Niannian took it as truth, so I had to go along with the deception. Speaking of which, I’ve wasted Weiwei’s youth."

Lingsu pursed her lips into a smile. "Then, Sir, is there any girl that you like?"

Qin Tianxuan said wistfully, "You should know that my heart belongs only to Shuanghua."

As they were talking, the sound of hurried footsteps, THUMP THUMP, suddenly came from outside.

A young girl walked in, wearing small deerskin boots and denim hot pants.

She was carrying a Burberry trench coat in her hand and wore a necklace of thumb-sized pearls around her neck. But at the moment, she was only wearing a small tank top, her skin as white as snow and utterly captivating.

"Where’s Qin Tianxuan? I just looked up his name in the medical department. He should be here recovering, right?" the girl demanded.

Qin Tianxuan frowned and looked up, feeling as if he’d been struck by lightning.

’This girl...’

’She looks so much like her!’

’The resemblance is uncanny.’

’She’s a ninety-percent match for Ye Shuanghua!’

’But Shuanghua was gentle and considerate, a true lady, and would never dress so revealingly and alluringly.’

’But her face... no matter how I look at it, the resemblance is just too strong.’

Qin Tianxuan’s eyes were fixed on the girl, his lips trembling, so agitated he almost jumped up.

But the pull on his wounds and the sharp pain snapped him back to his senses.

’This can’t be Shuanghua!’

’Their temperaments and personalities are worlds apart.’

The girl noticed his gaze, frowned, and tilted her head. "You big pervert, have you never seen a beautiful woman before? Where are you looking? It’s disgusting!"

As she spoke, she frantically tried to cover herself with the trench coat.

She was very well-developed, and though the coat barely covered her skin, it only served to accentuate her curves.

Lingsu was furious. "Where did you come from? Get out!"

The girl said haughtily, "This young lady is from the Ye Family. Ye Xuanxuan! Ever heard of me?"

"Never heard of you. Get out!" Lingsu’s expression hardened.

Qin Tianxuan’s heart jolted again.

’Of course. She must be Shuanghua’s sister!’

’With a resemblance like that, I should have guessed sooner.’

He stopped the furious Lingsu. "Let her come over and speak."

Ye Xuanxuan was amused. "You’re a soldier, and you’ve got your girlfriend with you while you’re recovering? I don’t know the Battle Department’s rules, but that’s definitely not right!"

Lingsu said coldly, "I’m a combat medic!"

Ye Xuanxuan went "Oh," and apologized sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I didn’t expect a Battle Department doctor to be so pretty. Miss, do you know which bed Qin Tianxuan is in?"

Lingsu said irritably, "The man right in front of you is Mr. Qin!"

Ye Xuanxuan’s eyes went wide. "Whoa, you big pervert! You’re actually that useless brother-in-law of mine?"
