Chapter 51

At the pier, Jiang Heng anxiously watched the time: “It’s already 3:30, why hasn’t Jiang Muning come yet, did she get caught again?”

Thinking about this possibility, Jiang Heng was a little worried.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Jiang Heng couldn’t rest easy, he hurriedly went to the military dependents’ compound.

He explained the situation, entered the gate, asked where Qin Muye’s house was, and then Jiang Heng ran all the way.

Running into the yard, Jiang Heng saw Jiang Muning sitting in the main room, lost in thought, from afar.

“Jiang Muning, why are you spacing out here, don’t you remember we’re supposed to run away today?” Jiang Heng rushed forward.

Jiang Muning’s eyes moved, landing on him: “Jiang Heng, let’s not leave today, I discovered something.”

“What’s up?”

“The original owner, that is, me now, might be Qin Muye’s white moonlight.” Jiang Muning said seriously.

Jiang Heng looked at her in surprise: “You? How is that possible.”

“I was surprised too, but I saw a photo in his wallet. So I want to stay, find out what’s going on tonight, and then decide whether to run or not.”

When she saw the photo, she was shocked. Because in her options for who her white moonlight was, she wasn’t included.

But seeing that photo, and thinking about his behavior after they got married, she couldn’t rule out the possibility.

So she wanted to ask for clarification, not for herself, but for the original owner in the novel.

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Heng knew she had made up her mind, so he had to compromise: “Alright, we’ll meet in the space at eight tonight, if you want to leave tomorrow, let me know.”

Jiang Muning nodded, urging: “It’s getting late, you should go. Otherwise, with all these bags, don’t let him see you.”

“…” The heartless woman, she wouldn’t even let him have a meal.

Jiang Heng shook his head: “Got it.”

With that, he arrogantly shook his head, and left angrily.

In the evening, Qin Muye finished his work for the day and strode home.

He saw a graceful figure standing at the front door from afar.

Qin Muye breathed a sigh of relief, his steps quickened.

“Why are you here?” Qin Muye felt happy in his heart, but he tried to maintain a calm expression.

Jiang Muning raised her lips, her voice light: “Waiting for you.”

Hearing this, Qin Muye was momentarily stunned, his heart skipped a beat.

“Come in.”

Seeing his calm appearance, Jiang Muning was puzzled: Did I guess wrong?

Back home, they didn’t eat directly.

In the house, Qin Muye, who was sweating from the afternoon heat, was about to take a bath, but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Muning staring at him intently.

Qin Muye was puzzled: “Is there something on my face?”

“There is.” Jiang Muning answered affirmatively.

Qin Muye was completely baffled, he didn’t know what she meant.

“Come here.” Jiang Muning gave a concise command.

He thought his attitude would still be cold, but he saw Qin Muye obediently walk in front of her.

“Sit down.”

Qin Muye continued to comply.

Seeing his obedient reaction, Jiang Muning’s lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.

She cleared her throat and picked up a photo: “Yours?”

Seeing that photo, Qin Muye was surprised: “Where did you get this?”

“From your wallet.”

Qin Muye swallowed nervously.

“Isn’t this me in the photo, did you take a sneak shot?” Jiang Muning looked at him with a smile.

“No.” Qin Muye couldn’t bear to look into her eyes.

In the army, no matter what happened, he could solve it calmly.

But now, his breathing was a little rapid.

“Then how did you get it?” Jiang Muning said leisurely, “If you don’t tell me, this photo is mine.”

After a long time, Qin Muye finally answered honestly: “I bought it from a photographer.”

Huh? Jiang Muning was puzzled.

Qin Muye then explained that a reporter had gone to Shui Gou Village to do a field trip and took this photo.

At that time, Qin Muye, who was looking for Jiang Muning, happened to be there, and after seeing her being secretly photographed, he used a little trick to keep the photo.

Learning the story, Jiang Muning leaned forward, looking at him: “You wouldn’t be, liking me, would you?”

Her eyes widened like bells, Qin Muye’s face flushed red.

The words were stuck in his throat, but he was too embarrassed to say them out loud.

Seeing this, Jiang Muning didn’t force him, but patiently waited for his answer.

Just when she thought Qin Muye would remain silent, his low voice sounded: “Yeah.”

Although she had already guessed, she was still shocked when she actually heard it.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Qin Muye’s hand, which was hanging by his side, clenched, his usually cold face became even more serious.

“So, your white moonlight, is it really me?” Jiang Muning stared at him blankly, “How long have you liked me?”

White moonlight? Qin Muye didn’t understand, but he still nodded: “I’ve always known that I have a wife. I didn’t want to marry someone I hadn’t met, so I wanted to see you…”

“Then you fell in love at first sight?”

“Probably.”

Qin Muye didn’t understand what that feeling was, but that first meeting, that year, stayed in his mind.

She was calm and gentle when she read, and she was charming and lovely in front of her parents.

Knowing that she was his future wife, Qin Muye instinctively felt that he would treat her well in the future.

Jiang Muning stared at him blankly, the truth was completely different from what she imagined.

“Then what about Comrade Lu Haotian…”

Qin Muye looked confused: “Lu Haotian?”

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Muning awkwardly covered her face, embarrassed: “I thought you liked Comrade Lu.”

Qin Muye suddenly stood up, his voice raised: “He’s a man! Why would you think that?”

Her ears turned red, Jiang Muning smiled awkwardly: “It’s not my fault, why did you go to sleep with Comrade Lu after you finished training the other day, and didn’t go home?”

“That’s because…”

“Because what?”

Qin Muye turned his head away, saying gloomily: “I went home, I didn’t see you at home, so I went to find you, and then I saw you on a date with Zhou Zhiqing, you were so happy.”

“You’re lying, I wasn’t!”

“You were, on the beach.” Qin Muye answered righteously.

“What date, I was picking up shells on the beach that day, I just happened to meet him. I needed a type of conch shell, and he happened to have it.” Jiang Muning facepalmed, “Qin Muye, are you mute, you can’t ask me?”

Learning the truth, Qin Muye stood there dumbfounded, slowly saying: “You like him, I didn’t want to ask, afraid of getting an answer I didn’t want.”

Knowing that she had someone in her heart, Qin Muye still stubbornly married her, despite her wishes.

As a result, he had always been worried that she resented him.

Huh? Jiang Muning raised her head: “I like him? Who spread the rumor!”

Qin Muye looked at her and said: “You.”
