Chapter 46

When Chen Chunping returned home, it was already evening, the house was unchanged, and no one was there.

She knew about what happened last night, after all, she was Lu Yunxiang’s mother, if she heard Lu Yunxiang screaming or anything, it would be difficult to cover up later.

So she took her child back to her mother’s house last night.

She left everything here to Zhang Qing.

The house was quiet.

Lu Yunxiang wasn’t there.

Zhang Qing wasn’t there either.

The plan last night was so meticulous, it must have been successful.

Lu Yunxiang must have been taken away by Zhang Qing and Wang Ergou.

They would say that Lu Yunxiang ran away with Wang Ergou.

Lu Yunxiang was taken away by Wang Ergou to be disciplined, she had already slept with Wang Ergou, what else could she do?

Besides living with Wang Ergou, what else could she do?

Thinking about this outcome, the suffocating feeling of being controlled by Lu Yunxiang instantly disappeared.

She felt a sense of relief.

She finally got her revenge.

*

It was almost nine o’clock, and Zhang Qing hadn’t come back yet.

The door opened.

“Back…”

She was full of enthusiasm, thinking it was Zhang Qing who had returned.

But she saw Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin had been sent back to her grandfather’s house yesterday.

It was Zhang Qing’s rural hometown, Wang Ergou’s hometown.

She quickly asked, “Where’s your dad?”

Zhang Lin looked confused.

“Isn’t my dad at home?”

Chen Chunping’s face turned ugly.

“Didn’t your dad go back to his hometown?”

“Ah?” Zhang Lin was puzzled, “No, I stayed at Grandpa’s house for a day, Dad didn’t go back!”

Chen Chunping’s eyelids suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

She had a bad feeling.

She tried to swallow, praying for everything to go smoothly.

She hoped Zhang Qing would come back soon.

So she waited and waited…

As long as Lu Yunxiang didn’t appear, it was good news.

After all, if Lu Yunxiang didn’t appear, it meant the plan was successful, maybe Lu Yunxiang was too stubborn, unwilling to submit, so Zhang Qing was watching her at Wang Ergou’s place…

At this moment, Lu Yunxiang was already on the train with Ji Mingjing.

The train to the capital…

It felt like a journey to a brighter future.

Because of the rush, Ji Mingjing couldn’t get a sleeper ticket, he only got a seat ticket.

Ji Mingjing also had to return to the military district in the capital to report, so he was with Lu Yunxiang.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He were his guards, so they were also together.

However, it was difficult to get tickets together.

In the end, Xiao Zhang and Xiao He’s tickets were in the ninth carriage, while Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing’s tickets were in the sixth carriage.

They were separated by two carriages.

Lu Yunxiang cautiously glanced at the tall figure sitting beside her.

She felt like Ji Mingjing had bought the tickets on purpose?

Ji Mingjing pretended not to notice her inquiring gaze.

He was about to return to the military district, and he wouldn’t have many chances to see Lu Yunxiang after that, so he planned to solidify their relationship before getting off the train.

His aunt was dating Lu Yunxiang’s father.

She would definitely find a way to keep Lu Yunxiang there.

His aunt loved matchmaking. 

It was obvious, even without much thought, that his aunt would introduce someone to Lu Yunxiang. 

He trusted that the people his aunt introduced to Lu Yunxiang would be of excellent quality. 

But Lu Yunxiang was such a wonderful person. If she truly ended up liking someone else, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry! 

Before they left today, Zhou He pulled him aside, half-threatening and half-envious, urging him to quickly win over Lu Yunxiang. 

“If you can’t make her your sister-in-law, then I’m not calling you my brother anymore!” 

And it wasn’t just Zhou He! Even Xiao Zhang and Xiao He wouldn’t let him off the hook. 

The train rocked and swayed so much that Lu Yunxiang was feeling a bit drowsy. 

Ji Mingjing quietly slipped something into her hand. 

She opened it. 

It was a White Rabbit milk candy. 

This was a real treat. 

Lu Yunxiang unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth. 

Instantly, the sweet, rich flavor overwhelmed her taste buds. 

She actually had a sweet tooth. 

“Very sweet. Thank you, Brother Ji.” 

Her soft, sugary voice rang out beside him, carrying a tingling warmth that made Ji Mingjing’s chest feel like it was being clawed at, leaving him restless and itching. 

As Lu Yunxiang ate the candy, she smiled and asked him, 

“How do you have White Rabbit milk candies on you?” 

Ji Mingjing’s deep eyes locked onto her clear and beautiful gaze, his look intense and unwavering. 

“I bought them for you.” 

Lu Yunxiang’s heart thumped wildly in her chest. 

His eyes were so deep, the black pupils reflecting her face as though she was etched into them, engraved in his gaze. 

It was as if she had walked straight into his heart. 

Lu Yunxiang’s face turned red, the blush spreading to the tips of her ears. 

Ji Mingjing was way too direct. 

Flustered, Lu Yunxiang averted her eyes. “I… I feel a little tired. I want to sleep.” 

The next second, Ji Mingjing placed his large hand on her head, gently guiding her to lean against his shoulder. 

“Sleep leaning on me.” 

Ji Mingjing’s unique scent filled the air around her. 

She leaned quietly against him, closing her eyes. 

Sweetness blossomed in her heart. 

She liked Ji Mingjing. 

Who wouldn’t like someone like Ji Mingjing? 

In this second chance at life, she had decided to let things go. 

She wouldn’t cling desperately to the outcome as she had in her previous life. 

This time, she wanted to enjoy life. 

If she liked someone, she would boldly like them. 

If fate allowed them to be together, it would be destiny. 

If not, she’d let nature take its course. 

With this in mind, she rested against Ji Mingjing and fell asleep. 

She felt safe. 

Ji Mingjing felt the soft, fragrant weight on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth curved into a subtle smile. 

[Ding! Save the gifted child!] 

[Ding! Capture the human trafficking gang!] 

Startled, Lu Yunxiang sat up straight, waking abruptly from her nap. 

Her sudden movement startled Ji Mingjing awake as well. 

“What’s wrong?” 

Lu Yunxiang had already activated the system’s merit skills, allowing her to clearly see that the slightly plump woman sitting to her right, holding a sleeping child, had three large characters floating above her head: 

[Human Trafficker] 

And the child in her arms had these words above his head: 

[Gifted Child]
