Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!

Chapter 236: That Lass is Actually Pretty Cute

A mild scent of traditional Chinese medicine filled Nan Yingxuan’s infirmary.

Clad in his white coat, he stood in front of a cabinet and looked at a variety of medicine in it.

Soft footsteps approached from behind. Without having to turn around, Nan Yingxuan said, “You’re here?”

“Mm.”

He Niancheng replied plainly with a calm expression.

“Did you hear about the other camp? That lass who you had your eyes on is not a simple girl. She’s actually a genius at sharpshooting!”

Nan Yingxuan smiled as he turned around to look at He Niancheng.

If it was in the past, He Niancheng would have sensed the trap in those words.

But now, as if it was perfectly natural for him, He Niancheng simply tilted his chin up as he replied. “If she was that simple, I wouldn’t have trusted her.”

He actually didn’t deny the words that claimed that he had his eyes on her.

Nan Yingxuan was getting more and more amused.

“She only started shooting for two hours and already hit a twenty-meters bullseye target. I remember that the record you set before was three hours. But oh, you were only eleven back then so we still cannot compare it.”

The corners of Nan Yingxuan’s lips twitched.

He Niancheng pulled a frown. “If she really had the talents for it, then that would probably mean that she never got to shoot before all of this. And you cannot simply judge it at that alone. In the advanced training camp, there are other aspects besides sharpshooting.”

He meant that Gu Qingjiu had other fields that she could probably excel in.

Nan Yingxuan did not retort. “Yes, of course. Since you can tell, you are definitely right. However, if that girl was truly a talented sniper, you’re probably aware that she wouldn’t stay long here in Dayi military camp. China will definitely not let such a talent go to waste at this place.”

“Mm.”

There wasn’t much of a reaction.

Nan Yingxuan sighed. “Also, I heard some news from that camp. They transferred a Major-General down from the capital to assume an instructor position. He is from the Mu family, Mu Sheng’s younger brother, Mu Nanji.”

Hearing that name, He Niancheng’s eyes narrowed.

“What’s that got to do with me?”

He could tell that Nan Yingxuan’s words had an underlying message.

Nan Yingxuan’s rare frown appeared. “Niancheng, you know the reason you were exiled. You are the youngest Major-General in our country, are you really willing to be trapped here? If she was willing to place her younger brother here, it is obvious that she did it for you. Although your father only said that it will be only for a year, you should understand his subtext. If you don’t give in, this exile will become permanent. But if someone helped you…”

“You don’t have to continue.”

He Niancheng’s brow slightly locked, and an icy smile appeared on his face. “I will never surrender. Even if I’m here, I will wait until the Empire gives in before I ever do.”

“…”

Nan Yingxuan sighed.

Who did he get this temper from?

He was not like any of his family members, but he was like that uncle of his.

“Then I won’t talk about this anymore.” Nan Yingxuan knew that no matter how much he would say, He Niancheng wouldn’t listen since he had his own pride.

He muttered under his breath as if wanting someone to hear it. “Qingjiu doesn’t have a conscience. She didn’t even let us know that she already reached the advanced training camp.”

“I’ve never seen you miss her before, even during the time she didn’t come to visit for a month.” He Niancheng deep and cold gaze turned to him in suspicion.

‘Cough.’ Nan Yingxuan coughed lightly. “She was just around the camp before, but now she’s in the advanced training camp. It would get harder to see her. Who knows whether she would still be at Dayi camp in the future. The lass is actually pretty cute…”

Before he could even finish his words, He Niancheng left the place in big strides.

Nan Yingxuan lowered his head as his shoulder shook in laughter.
