《The Colonel of the Empire is Falling in Love》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 9:00 p.m., in Raph. This was one of the most luxurious nightclubs in Z Country. It was located on the top floor of the landmark, Chengs Rainbow Hotel in the capital city. Nan Fei looked at the security guard who stopped her at the door and smiled. Miss, Raph is an exclusive club. You cant enter without an appointment. The security guard with delicate features spoke in a very decent manner. He looked at the woman in front of him in a righteous manner. It doesnt matter if you are Miss Nan or Miss Mu, as the Presidents daughter is not even allowed. However, his slightly red earlobe revealed his nervousness. This was because what he was facing was really a pretty and somewhat excessive face. The woman standing in front of him had extremely fair skin, almost to the point of being transparent. The faint pink eye shadow at the corner of her eyes and the large eyes that were naturally misty made her look pitiful and innocent. The bridge of her nose was small, and it was raised in a beautiful arc. It extended all the way, and underneath her was plump and beautiful lips that had a cherry blossom colored tint to it. He secretly bit his lip and silently reminded himself that even if she was beautiful, he had to follow the rules of the club. Nan Fei looked at the delicate and fair security guard in front of her and subconsciously bit her lip. The corners of her eyes curved up. Even though he had stopped her and made her a little unhappy, she decided to explain it to him again since he was handsome and looked pitiful. I didnt make an appointment, but my friend did. Her surname is Mu and her name is Mu Mian. Were together. She didnt speak fast and explained patiently. The corners of her lips curved up in a charming manner. Shell be here soon, so can you let me in first? The security guard was silent for a while, and the blush on his handsome face became more obvious. It was as if he was having an intense battle of thoughts. He raised his head and his tone became more determined: Miss Nan, if what you said is true, then youd better stand here and wait for your friend to come before you go in together. Nan Fei pursed her lips and squinted her peach blossom eyes. She lifted her chin slightly and her fair and slender fingers twirled around her slightly curled hair. She had been blocked by this security guard for a long time, and her feet in her high heels were very sore. This made her mood very unpleasant. Moreover, she had already explained it to him twice. Are you really not letting me in? Little brother, dont you want this job anymore? Her tone was no longer soft and gentle, but carried a slightly overbearing air of a young lady. She took out her phone from her bag and searched through her contact list. Security guard B, who was originally standing in the corner quietly watching the show, was a little flustered. This rich lady seemed to have quite a background. Could it be that she was going to make a phone call to complain? Therefore, he used his elbow to fiercely nudge his big brother beside him, but he still stubbornly refused to let go. It was very much like the silly and sweet female lead who came from a poor background on television. Security guard B sighed heavily in his heart. You two new security guards, who are you blocking at the door? A middle-aged mans voice came from not far away. Nan Fei looked up and saw a man in a suit with shiny hair and a handsome face who looked slightly flustered. Hence, she raised her hand slightly and waved it in his direction twice. Manager Song, long time no see! Her smile was clear and sweet. Song Jianming saw the girls face clearly and his nerves tensed up. All the muscles in his body tensed up. It was actually Nan Fei. Back then, in order to avenge Miss Mu Mian, she had brought a bunch of people over to wreck the place with Young Master Yu. That scene was so thrilling that he, Song Jianming, would never forget it. The key was that she was the princess of the Nan family. She would run away after smashing it, and no one would dare to cause trouble for her. Even if Second Young Master Cheng, the Crown Prince of Raph, was angry, he only smashed two pieces of blue and white porcelain worth tens of millions in his office and did not say anything. Song Jianming squeezed out a smile on his face and stood in front of Nan Fei. Miss Nan, long time no see. Come to Raph for a drink? Nan Fei smiled at Manager Song, who seemed to be a little afraid of her, and said leisurely, Yes, Im here for a drink, but I dont have an appointment. Can I join your high and mighty Raph? Manager Songs heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the righteous-looking security guard who had just been recruited by him and rubbed his forehead. He forced a smile and said, They are newcomers who have just been recruited today. They dont know the rules. Please dont mind them. Nan Fei snorted and casually played with her slightly curly hair. Manager Song felt a chill down his spine. He could not figure out what she meant. How about I send them away now? He carefully guessed Nan Feis expression. Seeing that she did not object, he turned around and yelled at the two security guards at the door, Get out of here! You dont have to come tomorrow! The security guard was really stunned this time. He looked at his boss for a few seconds and then at Nan Fei, who looked indifferent for a few seconds. Then, his eyes instantly turned red. Nan Fei inadvertently raised her head and saw the handsome security guard with red eyes and an indignant, aggrieved look on his wifes face. She was shocked and suddenly felt a long-lost sense of guilt. She felt like the cruel female supporting actress who bullied the innocent and kind female lead in a TV series. Nan Fei pursed her lips and thought for a moment before waving at Manager Song. Forget it, Manager Song. She walked past the dazed security guards and went to Manager Songs side to talk business. Mu Mian said that she booked a private room here. Can you take me there? Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Manager Song was stunned for two seconds, and his expression suddenly became a little strange. The private room that Miss Mu Mian booked? He suddenly remembered that Miss Mu Mian had called him two days ago. She said that if Miss Nan Fei came to Raph alone in two days, she would bring her to the Cherry Blossom Room on the third floor. In the Cherry Blossom Room, there was a seventeen-year-old boy. He was small and petite, but his skin was fair and delicate. He was a newbie that Raph had just signed, and his stage name was Little Cherry Blossom. He was a virgin who was going to be the number one. Hence, Miss Nan liked delicate-looking boys? Manager Song swallowed a mouthful of saliva and silently led the way. He really did not dare to speculate about the thoughts of rich girls. Miss Nan, this is the place. Manager Song handed the room card to Nan Fei and smiled at her with an ambiguous expression. I hope you have a good time. Nan Fei took the room card and inexplicably felt that Manager Songs expression was a little strange. His smile was so flirtatious. It felt like he was sending a client into a brothel. He was like an old prostitutes mother. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. She seemed to be sizing up the expression on Manager Songs face. Manager Song hurriedly retreated and jogged all the way. Nan Fei felt that it was even stranger. She stared at the door that was close by for a long time, wondering if there was something fishy going on. She shook her head. No matter what was inside, she, Nan Fei, had never been afraid. Thus, she still brought the room key closer to the sensor on the door handle. With a beep, the door opened. A faint cherry blossom fragrance rushed into the tip of her nose. Nan Fei raised her eyebrows, deep in thought. Today, Mu Mian invited her to meet at Raph. She said that she wanted to drink, sing, and talk about life. However, Mu Mian had always been simple and crude. How could she be so romantic tonight? She even asked someone to put a box of cherry blossom incense in the room. It smelled pretty good. Nan Fei opened the door and walked into the room. The room was very large and luxurious. The design was still as luxurious as Raph had always been. Every piece of casual furnishings was priceless. The light inside was dim, and only the cold-colored spotlights were on. Nan Fei was too lazy to turn on the headlights again. She sat on the sofa and turned on her phone. She sent Mu Mian a WeChat message. Why arent you here yet? Mu Mian, who usually replied in seconds, actually did not reply to her immediately. She pursed her lips and decided to sleep for a while. After all, she might go crazy with Mu Mian tonight, so it was better for her to recuperate first. Thus, she threw her phone on the sofa and leaned her head against the back of the sofa. She picked up a pillow and closed her eyes. The sofa was very soft, and she was very satisfied. After closing her eyes for a while, Nan Fei suddenly felt that something was wrong with her eardrums. She kept feeling that there was the sound of running water somewhere? She frowned and listened carefully for a while. It did not seem to be an illusion. Nan Fei opened her eyes. Where did the sound of running water come from? There could not be anyone else in the room, right? Alarm bells went off in her head, and she quickly jumped up. In her high heels, she was ready to go downstairs to look for Manager Song. However, when she looked up, she saw a scene that made her stop in her tracks, and her expression changed. On the other side of the room, at the entrance of the bathroom, stood a tall and big man with a strong figure. In the shadows, his upper body seemed to be naked, and his lower body was only wrapped with a towel. Crystal-clear droplets of water flowed over his well-proportioned muscles. With a figure comparable to a male model, Nan Fei blinked her eyes. Am I in the wrong room? Under the dim light, she smiled at the man whose face could not be seen clearly. Or are you in the wrong room? Those who could enter Raph were either rich or noble, especially since this was Raphs VIP area. Those who could enter were the cream of the crop. Not only were they rich and famous, but they were also of high quality. Therefore, Nan Fei felt that since they had bumped into each other head-on, it was better to speak properly so as to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, with her status, ordinary people would not dare to do anything to her. The man did not answer her. He just took a few steps forward and stopped in front of her. He asked in a deep voice, How long have you been here? His voice was deep and magnetic, a little hoarse, and quite manly. Nan Fei felt that this voice sounded quite comfortable, so she smiled and answered obediently, About five minutes. Moreover, she saw the mans face clearly. He was quite good-looking. His entire body exuded a cold and hard aura that was difficult to ignore. Coupled with his perfect muscles, he was practically a walking hormone. The man did not speak. He stared at her in silence, his expression somewhat complicated. When Nan Fei saw that he did not speak, she thought that he did not hear what she said, so she repeated it again. Sir, Ive been in here for five minutes. She smiled so widely that her eyebrows and eyes were curved. She deliberately stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of his eyes. Each of them was slender and white. The man looked at the fingers and his Adams apple rolled a little. Go take a cold shower. His eyes darkened, and his voice contained some unnoticeable restraint. The incense in the room has an aphrodisiac effect. Nan Fei was stunned. Aphrodisiac? Aphrodisiac?! She was stunned until she felt that her lower abdomen was really starting to burn, and there was a tendency for it to spread all over her body. Only then did she realize that what the man said might be true. Her originally delicate little face suddenly darkened, and a peach blossom color appeared on her face. She picked up the bag on the sofa and ran quickly toward the door. She was not stupid enough to be in the same room with a strange man after being drugged by an aphrodisiac. Where are you going? The man who was 1.9 meters tall casually took two steps and grabbed the womans wrist. There are men outside. Do you want to faint on the ground? He did not feel anything special when he did not touch Nan Fei. The moment he touched Nan Fei, he felt that he might really have been drugged by an aphrodisiac. The effect of the drug might still be a little strong. After all, the moment the man pinched her arm, she instinctively pressed her body against his body, and her hands could not help but touch his still dripping muscles. It was hard, like a cold stone. It was very comfortable, and it could relieve the fire. The mans breathing was slightly chaotic, and his body instantly tensed up. He calmed his slightly chaotic breathing and quickly carried the woman who was hanging onto his body like a koala. He strode to the bathroom, turned on the cold tap, and poured water on top of Nan Feis head. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sound of the water covered the womans slightly uncontrollable, messy groans. Then, the man quickly closed the bathroom door to prevent the cherry blossom-scented aphrodisiac from drifting in and aggravating the effects of the medicine. He turned on the bathroom light. Bright white light shone on the woman who was sitting on the ground, soaking wet. Her little black dress was soaked in water and stuck to her body. Her body was exquisite and her beautiful legs were slightly bent. A few strands of hair from her forehead were wet and stuck to her face. She looked up at the man in front of her. Her eyes, which were still being washed by the cold water, were slightly widened. She was at a loss and aggrieved. Itll be fine after a while, he explained with a frown. His voice was stiff. Perhaps it was because he had been in the army for too long and that he had been yelling at a group of men all day long. The word gentle had been cut off from him for many years. Nan Fei, who had been thrown onto the ground and was drenched in cold water, felt a constant chill seeping into her body. She silently lowered her head and hugged herself tightly. However, this chill made her entire body feel cold. At the same time, it also extinguished the raging fire in her lower abdomen. Her consciousness gradually became clear, and her originally dazed eyes became clear as well. She had just been drugged with an aphrodisiac, and it seemed She wanted to run out, but the man in front of her pulled her back, and then not only did he not sleep with her, but he even pulled her into the bathroom to get some cold water? Her brain worked quickly, and Nan Fei roughly understood the situation in front of her. She slowly raised her head and looked at the tall and handsome man standing in front of her with her clear eyes. Although this man looked cold and hard, and his action of throwing her on the ground was a little rough, he did not seem to have any intention of hurting her. After all, he did not act rashly despite a beautiful woman who was unconscious from the aphrodisiac was right in front of him. He even helped to wake her up with cold water. Although she did not know if he was a good person, at least he was not someone who wanted to harm her. Nan Feis initially tense nerves calmed down, and a faint friendly smile hung on the corner of her lips. Who are you? She raised her face and looked at the tall and big man standing in front of her with curved eyes. Under the light, a long dark scar below his collarbone was particularly eye-catching. Nan Feis gaze was slightly startled. A man with a scar on his body? The leader of the gang? Or a soldier? The man paused for a moment, then met the womans gaze. His gaze was dark and deep, like thick ink that could not be melted. It was as if some sort of emotion was brewing. After a long while, he restrained his expression. His thin lips parted slightly, and three syllables came out from his throat. Zuo Qishen. The expression on his face was cold. His sharp and angular facial features looked even colder under the incandescent light in the bathroom. Nan Fei was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the scar on his collarbone again and understood a little. Zuo Family? The military Commander Zuo? Zuo Qishen nodded deeply. Nan Fei blinked her eyes and slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. She turned off the shower, and the water droplets slid down her delicate facial features. After she stood up, she smiled at Zuo Qishen deeply. She did not understand what he meant. Commander Zuo, Ive heard a lot about you. Hello, my name is Nan Fei. Yes, she had indeed heard the name Zuo Qishen a long time ago. She had heard it mainly from Yu Jingluo. Every time he was unhappy with someone, he would take his father, Commander Yu, into consideration. He could only endure it and curse when he could not make a move. I f*cking wish that you cant find a girlfriend like Zuo Qishen, that iron straight man! Nan Fei did not know what kind of feud Zuo Qishen had with him that he had to curse him that much. However, after hearing him curse him a few times, Nan Fei had a special impression of Zuo Qishen. It was hard to say if he was a straight man. However, if he did not have a girlfriend, he was probably a very abstinent man. Apart from that, Nan Feis understanding of Zuo Qishen was that he was the son of the Zuo family, the powerful commander of the army? Yes, it could be said that. After all, the Yu family and the Zuo family were equally divided in the Z Countrys military. They controlled the two most elite special forces of the Z Country, East City and West Lake respectively. This Zuo Qishen seemed to be the leader of the special forces in West Lake. Two years ago, when the Z Country was at war with M Country, he seemed to have gone to the front line and become the commander of the army. He commanded the special forces of West Lake and other functional forces to fight together. After returning, he had made meritorious deeds, so he was promoted again. She knew that this was caused by one of Yu Jingluos circle of friends. At that time, the young Yu Jingluo had been unhappy about this matter for many days. Nan Fei would occasionally relax and listen to Yu Jingluos complaints. She vaguely felt that when Yu jingluo had been thrown into the army by his father for training, he had been pranked by Zuo Qishen. Otherwise, why would he have so many bad things to say about him? Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen only nodded after hearing Nan Feis words and did not say anything else. Nan Fei looked at his cold and deep facial features, his firm chest, and his upright posture. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that this military commander did not like to talk much. He did not even respond to her friendly greeting. However, she did not care too much about these small details. After all, regarding the aphrodisiac, Zuo Qishen had helped her tonight. Therefore, Nan Fei curved her lips and thanked Zuo Qishen obediently. Thank you for helping me remove the aphrodisiac. No need to thank me. Zuo Qishens expression did not change much. He extended his long arm and took off the towel on the hook, throwing it on the womans wet head. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he reached out to turn on the heater in the bathroom. The orange light was suffused with warmth, enveloping Nan Feis body under the shower. The warmth invaded her body. She was slightly startled. She took off the towel on her head, and the mans somewhat awkward handsome face was reflected in her eyes. Zuo Qishen looked at her, his tone calm and cold. Take a hot bath first. Ill send you back later. He paused, then frowned as if he had thought of something. Ill put out the incense when I go out. Someone will send clean clothes to you. He took a step forward and walked out of the door. Commander Zuo. Zuo Qishens hand on the doorknob froze. The sound of high heels stepping on the bathroom tiles was neither soft nor heavy. Nan Fei walked to his side and said in a soft and calm voice, Compared to taking a bath, I want to know what exactly happened tonight. Zuo Qishens gaze focused slightly, and his well-defined hand fell off the doorknob. He turned around, his jaw sharp and cold. Who else do you think would be able to use aphrodisiac in such a place? Nan Feis gaze froze, and then she said jokingly, You? Zuo Qishen stared at her, his tone indifferent. If it were me, youd be in bed right now. Nan Fei blinked. She was only joking. Of course, she knew that it was not him. Otherwise, why would he save her. In fact, she already had an answer in her heart. Raph was a top-class nightclub, and the people who came to play were all big shots in the capital. While they were having fun, they would inevitably carry out some confidential transactions and conversations. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, there were retired special forces stationed on every floor. The probability of someone sneaking in to light the aphrodisiac incense was very small. Therefore, the person who lit the aphrodisiac incense could only be someone from Raphs inner circle. The person who had the guts to tamper with the VIP room could only be Raphs higher-ups. A familiar, devilishly handsome face flashed across Nan Feis mind. Cheng Liangmu? Her voice was light, but there was a chill gradually seeping out from her eyes. Zuo Qishen did not comment, but his expression seemed to be tacitly agreeing. You know him? Nan Fei narrowed her eyes. Cheng Liangmu was the Second Young Master of the Cheng family. The Cheng family was indeed prominent, but it was limited to the business world. How could it be related to people in the military? A little related, he said casually. Oh, oh. Nan Fei did not ask further. She also understood that she had crossed the line. There were too many things involved in the trivial matters of the aristocratic families. It was indeed inconvenient for an outsider to tell them. I just came back from abroad. Cheng Liangmu invited me here tonight to welcome me. Zuo Qishens eyes were cold. He lifted his lips and said indifferently, When I realized that something was wrong, I went into the bathroom to take a cold shower. The moment I came out, I saw you. Nan Fei lowered her eyes and her red lips gradually pursed. She seemed to already know what had happened that night. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cheng Liangmu was a beautiful person, but in reality, he was very sinister. On the surface, he was gentle and amiable when he talked to you about cooperation, but in the dark, he might suddenly stab you in the back. Mu Mian had fallen on him, and she had not recovered yet. Raph was one of the Cheng familys properties, and it basically belonged to Cheng Liangmu. After he dumped Mu Mian, she was in a bad mood for many days. Nan Fei had long disliked Cheng Liangmu, so she brought Yu Jingluo along to cause trouble. It happened within the past month. Hence, tonights incident was probably Cheng Liangmu taking revenge on her? Seeing that she had finally returned to his territory, he sent Mu Mian away and left her alone in this room. He tricked Zuo Qishen into coming over and lit up the aphrodisiac? He wanted her to be raped? A cold smile appeared on her lips. Should she thank Cheng Liangmu for not finding a random man for her and instead finding such a handsome and stylish military commander? Military Commander Zuo. Nan Fei raised her hand and wiped her hair with a towel as she asked, Do you have any dealings or feuds with Cheng Liangmu? Im not familiar with him. Then I should be the one who dragged you down tonight. Feeling that she had wiped herself dry enough, Nan Fei hung the towel in her hand on the exquisite silver hook on the bathroom wall and explained calmly, Second Young Master Cheng may have thought that your worldview was broken just like his, so he gave me to you as a welcome gift. The womans voice was soft and calm, especially in the small bathroom. It was particularly clear in the cramped bathroom. He saw her slender and beautiful neck exposed to the incandescent light when she turned around to hang the towel. Implicated? He paused and asked in a low voice. Nan Fei smiled. The curvature of her lips was shallow. Not considered implicated? Does Commander Zuo like to be slept with by strange women? Zuo Qishen stared at her beautiful face, which was smiling like a flower, for a long time without saying anything. The corners of Nan Feis eyes curved, and the delicate lip glaze on her lips shone under the light. Commander Zuo, no matter what, thank you for tonight. After saying that, she did not wait for his reply and walked past Zuo Qishen to walk out of the bathroom. Zuo Qishen frowned as he looked at her small black dress, which was still wet from the water, and her curvy back. He walked out of the bathroom and put on the shirt and pants on the bed. Then, he unlocked his phone and dialed a number. After giving some instructions, he looked at the half-closed door and walked out. Nan Fei was wearing high heels, and she was putting extra strength into each step. It was as if Cheng Liangmu was lying under each step. She had a cold smile on her face, and her eyes were cold. When she reached the managers office on the first floor, she pushed the door a little too hard. Manager Song, Wheres Cheng Liangmu? Nan Fei smiled as she looked at Manager Song, who was sitting in the office chair with a stunned look on his face. Manager Song looked at her expression and felt that things were not looking good. She had been smiling the same way when she brought people to Raph to cause trouble. She looked like an innocent and beautiful little girl, but in reality She was really a little devil. His heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly jumped up from his chair and nervously approached Nan Fei. Miss Nan, what are you dissatisfied with? Did Little Cherry Blossom make you angry? Although Little Cherry Blossom looked delicate and had a weak personality, he was still a newcomer. It was inevitable that he would not be able to satisfy these arrogant and despotic second-generation heirs. What Little Cherry Blossom and Big Cherry Blossom? She knitted her beautiful eyebrows. Im asking you, wheres Cheng Liangmu? Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation CEO Cheng. Manager Song carefully looked at Nan Feis expression and replied, CEO Cheng isnt here today. Nan Fei coldly snorted and lowered her head to look for the phone in her bag. She found Cheng Liangmus name in her contact list. She pressed the call button and held the phone with a cold gaze. She turned off the phone. She curled her lips and moved the phone away from her ear. Then, she swiped a few times on the screen and dialed Mu Mians number. Hello? A lazy and devilish male voice came from the other end of the phone. As expected, Nan Feis smile became even colder. Cheng Liangmu. Although she was smiling, her fingers that were holding the phone gradually tightened. Wheres Mu Mian? Shes taking a shower. On the other end of the phone, Cheng Liangmu played with the fingers of the sleeping Mu Mian and answered nonchalantly. The man looked at Mu Mian with an impudent and focused gaze. He had not seen Mu Mian for a long time. When he thought about how Mu Mian actually let a delicate and pretty little man stay in the room where she was partying with Nan Fei, on his territory, he was so angry that he wanted to kill that cherry blossom. Hence, he asked someone to knock Mu Mian out on the way and brought her to his apartment. Then, he removed the little cherry blossom and invited Zuo Qishen to that room to wait for Nan Fei, who was about to go on a date with Mu Mian. I believe shes taking a shower? Nan Fei sneered. Second Young Master Cheng, with your little tricks, youre only lying about Mu Mian. The corners of Cheng Liangmus long and narrow eyes raised carelessly, as if he did not hear her sarcasm. He asked leisurely, Miss Nan, are you satisfied with Commander Zuos figure? Then he sighed, when he spoke again, his tone was obviously filled with regret. You still have time to call Mian Mian? It looks like you didnt get to enjoy the militarys sex skills. Why? Is it because he doesnt want to touch you, or is the quality of the aphrodisiac incense I ordered not good enough? It really is you. Nan Fei lightly bit her lower lip, and then a cold smile hung on the corner of her lips, Cheng Liangmu, do you think all men are like you? You can sleep with her even if you dont love her. So you think that as long as the woman you send is beautiful enough, Zuo Qishen can have sex with her? Cheng Liangmus face instantly darkened. He hung up the phone expressionlessly and pressed the off button. A busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Nan Fei smiled. Did she hit a sore spot? She hung up the phone right away. She tucked her hair behind her ears and did not call again. Instead, she pressed the lock screen button and put the phone back into her bag. Then, she smiled sweetly at Manager Song, who had been watching her carefully. After that, she picked up the blue and white porcelain that was placed next to her as a decoration and threw it heavily on the ground. With a crack, the blue and white porcelain shattered into pieces on the floor tiles that were emitting a cold light. It started again. Manager Songs heart trembled, and his lips twitched. He was so anxious that his facial features were wrinkled. He felt that he should call the special forces soldiers on duty on this floor to come in. He touched the phone in the pocket of his suit pants, and his fingers trembled when he swiped open the screen and opened the contact list. Manager Song, who are you calling? Nan Fei was still smiling at him. Her fingers wrapped around her slightly curled hair and played with it casually. I havent seen Yu Jingluo in a long time. How about I call him over now? Manager Songs fingers, which were about to tap on the phone screen, froze instantly. Yu Jingluo was someone even more difficult to deal with than Nan Fei. His father, Yu Junshan, was the commander of the military region. His older brother, Yu Jingchen, was the captain of one of the most elite special forces in Z Country, East City. If not for the war between Z Country and M Country two years ago, when Yu Jingchen went missing while commanding the East City special forces, he would now be someone whose status was second only to his father. Yu Jingchen had trained the retired special forces in Raph. They would never be ruthless toward their former boss younger brother. In short, once Yu Jingluo arrived, Manager Song felt that the situation would be even worse than if Nan Fei were to smash it alone. Thus, he silently stuffed his phone into his pocket and did not say anything else. Nan Fei watched as Manager Song put his phone away and looked at the broken blue and white porcelain pieces on the floor. She felt a little unhappy. When she thought about how Cheng Liangmu, this jerk, had once again gotten rid of Mu Mian, she was so angry that her blood pressure shot back up. Back then, he was the one who had ruthlessly dumped Mu Mian and turned around to get a new girlfriend. Now that he was done, was he not going to tease Mu Mian? In addition to the incident with the aphrodisiac and Zuo Qishen, she felt that if she did not smash something, she would be letting down her best friend and herself. Thus, she raised her head and looked around the office. Her gaze fell on the laptop on the table. There should be a lot of important information inside. Manager Song was terrified, but he did not dare to make a sound to stop her. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, the computer would not be on the ground, but on his head. He could only close his eyes silently and pray that Miss Nan did not use too much strength. Nan Fei. A deep and cold voice came from a meter away. Nan Fei was about to grab the laptop when she stopped. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If she did not hear wrongly, this sounded like Zuo Qishens voice? Nan Fei turned around and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of the office door. Unlike in the room just now, he was now fully dressed. His black shirt and trousers wrapped around his muscular body. His perfect inverted triangle, his wide shoulders and narrow waist were immediately displayed. The mans back was straight. He stood in a standard military posture. Coupled with his cold face that was as sharp as a knife, his entire body exuded a cold, hard, and abstinent aura. Nan Fei curved her lips and smiled at him. She had always been friendly to men who were good-looking but not bad-looking. Zuo Qishen walked closer to her and glanced at her dress that was still wet on her body, as well as her lips that were pale and had lost some of their reddish color due to the cold. He took off the coat that he had just asked someone to deliver and handed it to the woman standing in front of him. Put it on, he said. Nan Fei glanced at the coat in the mans hand and was slightly stunned. The man explained coldly when he saw that she did not pick up the coat, Although I just wanted to give you the antidote, I was the one who poured cold water on you in the shower. As soldiers, we will take responsibility for everything we do. The corner of Nan Feis lips curled up slightly, and her gaze met Zuo Qishens unyielding eyes. She took the coat from him and put it on herself. Thank you. Zuo Qishen had successfully raised the image of a Z Country soldier in her heart once again. Shall I send you back? Zuo Qishens gaze briefly fell on the back of Nan Feis hand, which was so cold that it seemed pale. There were faint bluish and purplish blood vessels in it. Nan Fei pursed her lips. There was still a fire burning in her chest, so it was not good for her to leave just like that. Although Zuo Qishens sudden appearance had interrupted her original thoughts, she had not forgotten that Cheng Liangmu had drugged her and sent her to someone elses bed. Hence, she smiled at Zuo Qishen and said, Commander Zuo, I still have some things to do. Why dont you go back first? She looked at the coat on her body and pursed her lips into a smile. Youve already taken responsibility for this coat. Ill just take a cab back later. After saying that, she turned around and touched the laptop on the table with her fair hands. Meticulously drawn patterns were painted on her fingernails. The laptop was not small in size, and it was a little heavy to carry. Nan Fei seemed to be unable to lift one hand. Just as she was about to reach out with her other hand, her wrist was suddenly pinched by Zuo Qishen. She turned around, her eyes filled with doubt. Zuo Qishen did not say anything, but he did not let go of the hand that was pinching her wrist either. Whats wrong, Commander Zuo? Seeing this, Nan Fei withdrew her hand from the laptop and turned around. Do you not want me to smash it? There was a smile at the corner of her lips, but there was an imperceptible chill in her eyes. She had almost forgotten that Zuo Qishen had mentioned that he was somewhat related to Cheng Liangmu just now. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen frowned and did not explain. He merely said, Go back, take a shower and change your clothes first. She did not know how long she would have to wait to smash the computer. Her clothes and hair would probably have dried by now. Moreover, the computer seemed to be quite heavy. With her strength, she would not be able to throw it far. If she smashed the parts on the ground and they flew out, it would easily hurt people. Nan Feis eyes glazed over slightly, but she quickly returned to her usual not-so-deep smile. Im sorry, Commander Zuo. She pursed her lips and smiled. Her voice was crisp and her tone was soft, but there was a faint hint of strength in her words. I must smash this computer today. She, Nan Fei, was definitely not a saint whose creed was tolerance. If she was bullied, she must bully them back. Cheng Liangmu had almost gotten someone to bang her today. If she did not smash his computer, it would be really complicated. Her gaze fell on the hand that Zuo Qishen was holding her wrist with. It meant to ask him to let go of her. Zuo Qishen stared at her for a long time. He did not let go of her and only asked in a low voice, You must smash it today? Nan Fei nodded. Alright then. Zuo Qishen reached out his empty hand and picked up the 16-inch computer on the table expressionlessly. The hand that was holding Nan Feis wrist tightened slightly and pulled Nan Fei behind him. Stand there and dont move. His voice was cold and hard. Nan Fei had an inexplicable feeling that she was one of his subordinates. She was slightly stunned as she stared blankly at the hand that was holding the computer with one hand and the sleeve of the shirt that was wrapped around his muscular arm. The corner of his shirt moved slightly. She watched as he lifted the laptop in his hand and crossed his broad shoulders. His well-defined fingers tightened slightly, as if he had used a little strength. Then, he threw the laptop in his hand at the wall five meters away. There seemed to be a flash of silver light. With a bang, the laptop fell heavily on the wall, with its chassis smashed and its parts scattered all over the ground. The originally exquisite and intact laptop instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal and was scattered at the corner of the wall. The scene was too beautiful. Manager Song did not dare to look at it. Just listening to the sound made his entire body hurt. He had already empathized with the computer, and he hurt as much as it hurt. All of Raphs important information was in this computer. He really wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Nan Fei stared blankly at the laptop that had shattered into pieces. Lets go. Zuo Qishen tilted his head and saw Nan Feis dazed look. His thin lips curved into a faint arc. Nan Fei only recovered when she heard his voice. She raised her eyes and slowly looked at Zuo Qishen. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she only said one sentence, Commander Zuo, your strength is indeed worthy of your height! A man of 1.9 meters was extraordinary! Are all soldiers so fierce? That was not right. Yu Jingluo was also a soldier. Why did she seem to be so hormonal? Perhaps it was because Yu Jingluo was only 16 years old and still young? Zuo Qishen looked deeply into her eyes that seemed to be shining and slightly lifted his lips. Are you complimenting me? Nan Fei nodded with a smile and admitted openly without changing her expression. Yes. She blinked her eyes and suddenly felt that her impression of soldiers had increased a little. He had a gun wound and a scar that looked like a medal on his body. He seemed to be tough and straightforward, especially a man. She liked him. Manager Song, who had been standing in the corner and did not dare to say anything, finally spoke weakly when he saw that the two big buddhas were actually chatting and the atmosphere seemed to be relatively relaxed. Miss Nan, Mr. Zuo, do you still want to continue smashing items? If they did not want to continue trashing the place, he would have called the cleaning lady to come in and clean it up. He still had to continue receiving customers tonight Nan Fei waved her small hand and smiled at Manager Song. I wont smash anything else anymore. The computer had been smashed to the point that it was exactly what she wanted. Her mood seemed to have improved a lot. Can we go back now? Zuo Qishen looked at her smiling little face and said calmly. Yes, lets go. Nan Fei consciously stood to the right of Zuo Qishen and then waved at Manager Song in the corner. Goodbye, Manager Song. Goodnight. The pretty girl smiled like a peach blossom, but Manager Song felt a chill on his back. He sighed silently and replied, Goodnight, Miss Nan Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they reached the parking lot, Zuo Qishen pressed the car key. The headlights of a black Maybach flashed obediently. Only then did Nan Fei know that Zuo Qishens car was a Maybach. She had always felt that the Maybach series of cars looked a little fierce. She glanced at Zuo Qishen, who was walking in front of her in an orderly manner. The lines on the side of his face were as cold and hard as a knife. His crimson lips were pursed up daily. In addition, when Zuo Qishen smashed the computer just now, he was cold and indifferent, but he was also extremely fierce. She suddenly felt that the temperament of this car was quite compatible with Zuo Qishen. After the two of them got into the car, Zuo Qishen asked while starting the engine, Where do you live? Yun He district, Ming An Garden. Zuo Qishen paused for a moment and turned his head to look at her. You dont live with the Nan family? Most of the villas in the wealthy district were in the White Mountain district. Moreover, Ming An Garden did not seem to be the name of the villa district. It should be her own apartment. Ah. Nan Fei blinked her eyes. Then, she placed one hand on the edge of the car window and replied indifferently, Yes. She looked at the scenery flying past outside the window. The temperature in her eyes gradually cooled down. The Nan family was not as bright and harmonious as others thought. It was dirty. Zuo Qishen looked deeply at her indifferent side profile and did not ask any more questions. Nan Fei curled her lips and decided not to think about the unhappy matters of the Nan family anymore. After all, it was useless to think about it. She was still the one who was in trouble. She looked at Zuo Qishen beside her. The mans angular side profile had an indescribable feeling in the dark carriage. At this moment, his hand was on the steering wheel. His gaze fell on the road ahead and he looked like he was focused on driving. Recalling what Yu Jingluo had said, she curved her lips into a smile. Commander Zuo, do you have a girlfriend? Zuo Qishens gaze darkened, and the fingers holding the steering wheel gradually tightened. After pausing for two seconds, he tilted his head to look at her, his gaze seeming a little cold. No. He spat out two words. Nan Fei blinked. Then, are you always so considerate to girls? She had helped her smash her computer, put on her clothes, and sent her home. They had only met by chance. Zuo Qishens voice was very flat. There are almost no women in the army, let alone someone as well-behaved and beautiful as you. Men will always have a tender heart for women at a certain stage, and Im no exception. What he meant was that he was only helping her because he found her pleasing to the eye. Nan Fei puffed up her cheeks. Alright, alright, she got it. Of course, she would not think too much about it. They were both adults. There were some unspoken rules that she naturally understood. Beautiful women would sometimes cause some trouble, but there would also be people who would sincerely help because they looked pleasing to the eye. She put down her elbow that was propped up on the edge of the car window and searched for her phone in her bag. After scrolling through Weibo and WeChat, she began to be restless. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After turning off the engine, Zuo Qishens fingers slid off the steering wheel. His gaze fell on the woman sitting in the passenger seat, who was playing with her phone in high spirits. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if she was having a good time. Zuo Qishen pursed his thin lips slightly. The faint light from the street lamp shone on his face through the car window. The expression on his face was hard to discern. Nan Fei. After pausing for a few seconds, he called out her name. Hmm? Nan Fei returned to her senses and turned her head to look at the source of the voice. She saw Zuo Qishen pursing his lips and looking at her with a deep gaze. Nan Fei was a little confused. She asked, Whats wrong? Zuo Qishen looked at her deeply for a while and then said flatly, Were here. Nan Fei was stunned. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window, only to realize that the car had already stopped at the entrance of her neighborhood. She blinked. Was Zuo Qishen driving too steadily, or was she too tired tonight? She did not even notice that the car had stopped. He seemed to sneer slightly and said, In the car of a strange man, you are really alert indeed. Nan Fei thought for a moment, and the corners of her eyes curved up. She looked at him with a smile and said, Commander Zuo, you just helped me. How can you be considered a strange man? Zuo Qishen was slightly stunned. The faint streetlight outside the car shone on the womans face. He saw her smiling eyes, but he could not see the emotions in her eyes. His gaze was cold. He opened his mouth and said in a low voice, Youre not my soldier. You dont have to call me commander. Alright. Nan Fei only paused for a second before she readily agreed. What he said made sense. She was indeed not his soldier. Then what should I call you? She asked again. Anything is fine. Nan Fei thought for a moment. Should she call him by his name directly? She silently recited the three words, Zuo Qishen, and then tilted her head to look at the cold and tough face of the man beside her. She felt that it was a little inappropriate. Not only was Zuo Qishen in a high position, but he was also older than her. It seemed impolite to call him by his name in front of him. Then should I call you Young Master Zuo? She pursed her lips and asked carefully. She really did not know what to call him, so she just called him as a member of an aristocratic family. Zuo Qishen placed his finger on the steering wheel and knocked on it again and again. The sound was neither light nor heavy, and there was a strange feeling in the carriage. After a long while, he said expressionlessly, You should call me Military Commander. Nan Fei blinked. He did not seem to like the way Young Master Zuo addressed him. Hence, she nodded and replied obediently, Okay. Zuo Qishen did not say anything else. He pinched the steering wheel with his well-defined fingers and looked ahead coldly. Nan Fei felt that this was a good time to get off the car and go home. Then Im going back, she said as she looked at Zuo Qishens cold side profile. Her tone was a little cautious. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Zuo Qishen seemed to be angry. His already cold and hard outline seemed to have been coated with a layer of ice. Zuo Qishen, who had been grimly holding the steering wheel, suddenly tilted his head and looked at her with a deep gaze. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He only looked at her and did not say anything. Nan Fei could not figure out what he wanted to do. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, she casually added, Commander Zuo, lets hang out together again in the future. Zuo Qishen was silent for a moment before he let out an mm from his throat. Nan Fei heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and waved at him. Goodbye. Nan Fei, the man suddenly called out to her. Huh? You dont have my contact information. How are you going to find me to come out and play? Nan Fei was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. Did she really want to come out and play together? However, what she said just now was just a casual remark. Usually, people who left early when they were playing with those second-generation heirs would say the same thing. Everyone knew that it was just a polite remark and would not be taken seriously However, for a handsome and hormonal little brother like Commander Zuo, she would be very happy if she could add him on WeChat and have some fun together in the future. Therefore, Nan Fei took out her phone, opened WeChat, found her QR code, and presented it to the man generously. Then, Commander Zuo, do you want to add me on WeChat? The corners of her eyes curved up as she looked at Zuo Qishen with a smile. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were like soft and delicate petals. Zuo Qishen did not respond to her, but his two fingers reached into his shirt pocket and took out his phone. He opened WeChat and scanned Nan Feis QR code. Her QR code was beautified and turned into a picture of a cat. At the top left of the QR code was her profile picture and nickname. Nan Meow. When he saw her WeChat name, a special emotion flashed across Zuo Qishens eyes. It was too dark in the car, so Nan Fei did not notice the mans expression. She only noticed that a bright red word wrapped in a circle appeared above the small figure in her WeChat contact list. The name, Zuo Qishen, appeared in the New Friends column. Nan Fei pressed the Agree button. Then, she looked up. The man beside her seemed to be staring at his phone screen thoughtfully. She pursed her lips and smiled. She waved at him again and said, Goodbye, Commander Zuo. Keep in touch. Then she opened the car door, got out quickly, closed the car door, and walked into the neighborhood in her high heels. She did not look back, so she did not see that after she left, the silver Maybach was still parked on the side of the road for a long time. Zuo Qishen looked deeply at her slender, beautiful back with the soft black hair that curled at the end of her hair. As she walked, her hair swayed slightly with her steps. Soon, she turned a corner and walked into a certain apartment building, disappearing from his sight. Keep in touch. The end of the womans charming and polite words flashed past his ears. He closed his eyes and his temples throbbed. A lot of things from two years ago suddenly whizzed through his mind. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes. There seemed to be an icy plain in the depths of his eyes, and there seemed to be a certain sharpness flashing in them. In the night, the silver Maybach galloped away. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei took the key to open the door and switched on the lights. When she stood at the entrance to change her shoes, she saw a ball of white that was originally lying on the carpet slowly stand up and walk toward her elegantly. She curved her lips into a smile and casually threw the key on the sofa. She waved at the tall and big ball of white. Crown Prince, Im back! Crown Prince was a snow-white Tibetan mastiff. She had brought it back from the kennel two years ago when she moved out of the Nan family. At that time, it was still a little puppy, but it was very cute. She did not expect it to grow into a noble and cold giant dog. Nan Fei blinked her eyes. Time was really a butchers knife. Crown Prince seemed to see through her thoughts. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped one meter away from the woman. He looked at her. His dark pupils made his fur all the more whiter. Nan Fei changed into her slippers. When she passed by Crown Prince, she caressed his head and sat on the sofa. She leaned back against a pillow, squinting her eyes comfortably. She was a little tired tonight, and now she just wanted to lie down. Just as she felt that she was about to fall asleep, she felt the sensation of the soft fur rubbing against her skin, whether intentionally or not. Nan Fei reached out and pushed the soft thing beside her. She blurted out a few words, Crown Prince, dont Crown Prince ignored her and continued to focus on sniffing the unusual scent of his master. Nan Feis drowsiness had mostly dissipated because of him. When she opened her eyes, she found that the Tibetan mastiff was moving closer to her. What are you doing? Wheres your cold and aloof dog personality? She pushed Crown Princes head away. Is it spring? Do you want me to find you a beautiful female Tibetan mastiff? Crown Prince did not move closer, but threw her a cold and disdainful look. She was a stupid owner. They had already been together for two years, but she still could not see through his main point at a glance. In the end, Nan Fei still lived with it for two years. Seeing that it had been staring at her upper body, she also looked at herself. Only then did she realize that she was still wearing the coat that Zuo Qishen had given her. She was suddenly enlightened. She had said it before. Crown Prince had always been cold and aloof, so why was he strangely leaning against her today? He should have smelled the scent of a stranger on this coat. Crown Prince ignored her. He turned around elegantly and left. He found a comfortable corner and collapsed. He narrowed his eyes and began to sleep. Nan Fei took off the coat on her body and spread it on the sofa. Then, she turned around and leaned on the sofa. Her upper body leaned forward slightly and her hand supported her chin on her thigh as she looked at the coat. It was a black, loose-fitting windbreaker that was quite long and wide. This coat seemed to be of a mans style? Could it be Zuo Qishens? She pursed her lips, and before she could think about anything else, the chill on her body began to attack the nerve endings all over her body. It was a bit cold to take off the coat. Nan Fei propped herself up on the sofa and climbed up reluctantly. She took out the phone from her bag and walked to the bathroom in her room. She had to take a shower, or else she would catch a cold. Half an hour later, Nan Fei came out of the bathroom. She wiped her hair with a towel and fell onto the soft bed. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a ball of white holding the black coat in his mouth under the bed. Nan Fei smiled in amusement and reached out to rub Crown Princes soft hair. You like Zuo Qishen that much? Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Crown Prince looked up at her and threw the coat in his mouth onto Nan Feis bed. Thats enough. Nan Fei mercilessly mocked him. If you like it, then you like it. Whats there to be uncomfortable about? How are you going to chase after a female Tibetan mastiff in the future? Crown Prince bent down and found a comfortable position to lie on the floor. He did not look at her again. Would a noble breed like him like someone so easily? However, he had a premonition from the moment he smelled the clothes. Then, he followed the premonition and brought the clothes to his mistress. He gradually narrowed his eyes. This time, he really fell asleep. Nan Fei folded her arms and rested her chin on them. She looked at the black coat on the bed. Commander Zuo was such a fan. Even her cold Tibetan mastiff liked him. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, then picked up her phone on the bedside table and opened WeChat. As she had just added Zuo Qishen, his WeChat message was at the top of the message bar. 22:37 [You have added Zuo Qishen, you can start chatting now.] Nan Fei laid on the bed, and the middle finger of her right hand began to type on the screen. Commander Zuo, I think Ive accidentally left your coat on when I went home. After thinking for a while, Nan Fei still pressed the send button. Actually, she felt that with Zuo Qishens status, he would not care about a mere coat. However, out of courtesy, due to the fact that her familys iron tree Tibetan mastiff seemed to like him, and due to the fact that her familys Tibetan mastiff had repeatedly helped her make the coat appear in front of her, she still decided to inform Zuo Qishen. She originally thought that a commander-level figure like Zuo Qishen, who had a lot of work to do every day, would check WeChat every few hours. However, she did not expect Zuo Qishen to reply to her instantly, even though there were only six emotionless words. [Wash up and put it back on.] Nan Fei looked at the six words in the white dialog box on the screen and was a little stunned. If she did not misunderstand, Zuo Qishen wanted her to return the coat to him? This was not realistic. [Wear it back Where?] After a pause, Nan Fei decided to ask properly. What if she misunderstood? [The military command or my home.] Only then did Nan Fei confirm that she did understand correctly. He wanted her to return the jacket to him. Nan Fei blinked as some thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly. Has she become beautiful again recently? Commander Zuo seems to be really interested in her. Oh, he seemed to have praised her beauty in the car just now, so he asked her to send the coat over because he wanted to see her again. The corners of her eyes curved up, extending into a charming arc. Nan Fei smiled, typed two words in the input box, and sent the message. [Okay.] People were born to pursue beautiful things. Zuo Qishen wanted to see her, so she did not mind seeing Zuo Qishen more often. After all, he was so handsome. Moreover, school had just started, so she had not been very busy recently. After yawning, Nan Fei narrowed her eyes, feeling sleepy. Her phone suddenly vibrated again. It was Zuo Qishens message. [Blow dry your hair before you go to sleep.] Nan Fei looked at the screen with a strange expression. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at the corner of her rooms ceiling. How did Zuo Qishen know that she had washed her hair, and how did he know that she really wanted to sleep right now? Could it be that there was a surveillance camera installed in her house? She shook her head and threw all the nonsense in her head into the recycling bin. She replied, [Okay.] Then she reached out and slammed the light off in the room. She fell asleep on the bed. It made life easier. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen stared at the word Okay coming from the other end of the screen, as well as the chat box between the two of them without any follow-up. His thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line, and the fingers gripping the phone gradually tightened. Okay. Okay my a*s. Could she not put in more effort to brush him off? Casually throwing the phone on the bedside table, Zuo Qishen walked into the bathroom. Cold water sprayed out from the shower and sprinkled on the top of his hair, washing over his handsome and sharp facial features, the scar on his collarbone, and flowing down his muscular body. His jawline and muscles seemed to be somewhat taut, showing his irritation. His mind replayed the scene when he saw Nan Fei in the Cherry Blossom Room today. Her face was painted with exquisite peach blossom makeup, and the faint pink eye shadow made her look like an innocent little beast. Her peach blossom eyes were ravishing to the point of seduction. She was getting more and more beautiful, but she was also getting more and more heartless. Turning off the shower, he put on his bathrobe expressionlessly and walked out of the bathroom. Before he fell on the bed, he could not help but open his phone screen and open WeChat. His conversation with Nan Fei was still stuck on the word Okay. As expected, she did not send any more messages. Zuo Qishen snorted coldly and smashed his phone on the wall. He knew that he had to say goodnight to that Manager Song at Raph, but tonight, he also had to restrain himself from doing anything to her. Despite that, she did not even want to say goodnight to him? She still had the nerve to talk about his girlfriend. If she had not seduced him at such a young age, he would have been single for twenty-four years? Thinking of the things that had happened in the past few years, Zuo Qishens eyes darkened. He changed his clothes, picked up his coat on the coat rack, the car keys on the bedside table, and left the room. He needed to go to the shooting range to calm down. The next morning, Nan Fei was woken up by her biological clock as usual. After opening her eyes, she was no longer sleepy. She simply got up, yawned, and walked to the bathroom. After washing up, she looked at the electronic clock on the bedside table. 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Rubbing her eyes, Nan Fei thought for a moment and felt that it was time to go to school today. She seemed to have skipped a week of classes. Thinking of someone she might meet at school later, Nan Fei blinked her eyes, opened the wardrobe door, and picked out a rather pure and innocent dress. After putting on some light makeup, she braided her long hair into an exquisite fishbone braid. She looked at herself in the mirror, winked, picked up her phone and her bag, and prepared to leave. Perhaps the clouds had dispersed, and the sunlight outside the window had suddenly become stronger, Nan Fei subconsciously turned her face away. Only then did she notice the black coat that Zuo Qishen had put on her last night. The memories of last night before she went to bed suddenly came back to her. Nan Fei opened her mouth slightly. She suddenly remembered that Zuo Qishen had asked her on WeChat last night to wash this coat and send it to the military command. After thinking for a while, Nan Fei finally picked up the coat, found a bag, and put it in. It was better to choose the right day. Since she was going out today, she might as well go and see Commander Zuo. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei took a taxi to school. She first took the bag with her coat to a nearby dry cleaner. Then, she took out her phone and looked at her class schedule. Sketch class. It seemed to be pretty good. Nan Fei put her phone back into her bag. The curve of her lips was shallow. Half a year ago, after she graduated from high school, she went to a world-famous art university in Z Country. She majored in fashion design. It was her favorite major. Although the school had arranged too many meaningless theory classes, she was generally satisfied. Anyway, she would skip classes she did not like. As Nan Fei walked onto the campus, her little white shoes made a slight scraping sound on the concrete floor, and the light blue skirt swayed slightly with her steps. She came earlier today, and there were fewer people on the road. However, there were still people who stopped and stared at her face. Nan Fei continued walking forward without looking sideways. She knew that she was very beautiful. She stopped at the door of the studio. With one glance, she saw Meng Ge Ya sitting upright beside the easel in the studio, surrounded by her classmates. Her classmate was also her biological younger sister. There were two young ladies of the Nan family. One had her mothers surname, and the other had her fathers surname. Why was this so? Naturally, it was because of their amazing father, Meng Hua. He was originally just a poor boy, but later on, he relied on his own abilities to earn some money and rose to fame. He married the young lady of the Nan family, which was also her and Meng Ge Yas mother, Nan Man Qing. Under the pressure of her grandfather, Nan Yun He, her elder sister took the surname Nan. Meng Ge Ya was born a year later and took her fathers surname Meng. Although her surname was Nan, in the Nan family, her parents, especially her father, Meng Hua, only treated Meng Ge Ya as their own daughter. She had felt that Meng Hua always looked at her strangely from a young age, as if he was looking at an enemy. Only when she grew up did she realize that she was really not Meng Huas biological daughter. She was the child that her mother, Nan Man Qing, had conceived before she married Meng Hua, and her father was unknown. In the past, the Nan family had addressed her as the daughter of Meng Hua and Nan Man Qing for the sake of their reputation. She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Nan family. On the day they found out about this, her grandfather, Nan Yun He, called her to the study and handed her a card. Nan Fei, you can move out. There was obvious exhaustion in the old mans voice. The family is still not on good terms with you here. At that time, she took the card and said with a smile, Sure. Anyway, she had been displeased with the three of them for a long time, so she quickly packed her luggage and found an apartment with a beautiful view, which was Ming An Garden. Since then, she has stayed there for two years. It should be said that it was better to be sisters than enemies. Meng Ge Ya, who was focused on drawing on the drawing board, suddenly raised her head and looked in Nan Feis direction. Sister. She seemed to bow slightly to Nan Fei politely and then stood up. Nan Fei pursed her lips in surprise. Taking the initiative to greet her? Did they not hate each other since they were young and wanted to kill each other? Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Whispers immediately came from the side. Ge Ya is really my goddess. Not only is she professional and good-looking, but shes also so polite. Yeah, she almost never refuses me when I ask her for help. Goddess is so cultured! Nan Fei blinked her eyes in understanding. The witty her seemed to have understood something. As the standard socialite in the capital, Miss Meng paid the most attention to her image and face. Then Nan Feis pair of peach blossom eyes curved, and a sincere and intimate smile hung on her lips. Good morning, little sister. She greeted Meng Ge Ya with a smile. Of course, she was not stupid enough to go against Meng Ge Ya under such circumstances. Otherwise, she would really become a vicious elder sister who bullied her little sister. She would not want to bear such a bad reputation. Ah, my goddess Nan is so cute. The key is beauty. Beauty is justice. Its such a pity that Nan Feis face doesnt make her a celebrity. Ill definitely become a celebrity. Nan Fei blinked her left eye at the girl who said she would definitely become a celebrity. Her peach blossom eyes closed and opened again, seducing her soul. Then, she pouted her lips slightly and made a kissing gesture. Ah, ah, ah! So flirtatious! Im going to bend! The girl immediately screamed. The bell rang and the teacher walked in. Everyone dispersed and returned to their own easels. Nan Fei had a smile on her face. She walked to the easel by the window that had good lighting and sat down. When she passed Meng Ge Ya, she seemed to see her holding the pencil tightly. Her fingertips were slightly white. There was also the gaze that contained resentment and hatred that had baptized her countless times since she was young. Actually, Nan Fei had always felt that it was very strange. Meng Ge Yas parents loved her dearly, so why was she always looking at her unloved sister with this resentful face? This was especially so when she had moved out of the Nan family when she was sixteen years old. Meng Ge Yas gaze was simply murderous as she watched her pack up her luggage. Could it be that Meng Ge Ya liked her?! It was taboo. They were not allowed to be in love so could it be hate that was manifested from love? Stop. Nan Fei shook her head. She did not want to think about it anymore. She should just focus on drawing. After drawing, she would go to the dry cleaners to get Zuo Qishens coat. After drawing for forty to fifty minutes, her hands were covered in black lead. After class, Nan Fei walked to the bathroom to wash her hands. After washing her hands with cold water, Nan Fei turned off the tap. When she looked up, she saw Meng Ge Yas face in the mirror. This face could be considered pretty, but because her facial features were not three-dimensional enough, so it was difficult for her to look stunning. Nan Fei slowly took out a wet tissue from her bag. As she wiped her fingers, she smiled at Meng Ge Ya in the mirror. Are you looking for me? Nan Fei, were you with Cheng Shichu last night? Meng Ge Yas face was gloomy. She no longer had the dignity she had in front of her classmates. Cheng Shichu? Nan Fei was stunned for a second. Then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled. She threw the wet tissue that she had wiped her fingers into the trash can, turned around to face Meng Ge Ya, and said slowly, Meng Ge Ya, hes your man. Shouldnt you be the one who knew where he was last night? Meng Ge Yas expression changed slightly. Her dangling fingers gradually tightened, and a sticky feeling seeped out. She hated it. Her gaze was like a sharp ice blade, shooting straight at Nan Fei. Nan Fei blinked. My good sister, if you have the time to ask me, why dont you go to the beauty salon and get a breast augmentation or something? Men first take a liking to your skin, and only then will they be in the mood to continue observing your kind and dignified soul. Meng Ge Yas gaze became even more venomous. She gritted her teeth together, and the muscles on her face were faintly aching. She knew that Nan Fei was mocking her for not being good-looking enough. Her parents said that she was the little princess in the family, but why did God give the best things to Nan Fei? The best face, the best talent, the best man. There seemed to be the sound of a womans laughter coming from outside the bathroom door. Meng Ge Yas eyes flashed, and she lowered her eyes. When she looked up again, there were already sparkling tears in her eyes. Sister, I know that youve always resented me for stealing your boyfriend, but we were truly in love at the beginning. He was only with you because he mistook you for someone else Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei looked at the tears that were seeping out of the corners of her eyes, and her heart felt like a thousand horses galloping through the grass. Why did she not go to the acting department? Oscar owed her a small golden statuette. No, two, the Best Actor Award and the Best Screenwriter Award. Although Cheng Shichu was indeed her ex-boyfriend in name, and was indeed with her younger sister now, she could still casually blurt out such romance novel jokes like mistaking someone else. It really made Nan Fei feel inferior. The two girls who were just at the bathroom door had already walked in. Nan Fei raised her eyelids. Since she wanted to play, she would accompany her. Ge Ya, no, you dont have to think like that. Youre my only sister, my dearest person. Why would I hate you? I just hate myself for not being able to control my heart Nan Fei said as she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, imitating the pitiful look of the injured female lead in the Qiong Yao drama she had watched when she was young. She sobbed and said, I shouldnt have fallen in love with Cheng Shichu in the first place. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you two should be together well. Ill give you my blessings. After saying that, Nan Fei covered her face and ran out of the bathroom. Her steps were messy, and she looked like she had lost her soul. In the bathroom, the two girls who had witnessed the big news were dumbfounded. Goddess Nan is so pitiful, Girl A muttered. Its not her fault that she got the wrong person. Instead, her boyfriend was stolen for no reason. Girl B nodded in agreement. Yeah, sigh, even if its true love, its not right to steal someone elses boyfriend. A shadow shrouded the two girls vision. They raised their heads and saw Meng Ge Yas cold and poisonous eyes. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Her tone was ruthless, and her originally delicate and pretty face had a hint of malevolence. Nan Fei picked up her clothes at the dry cleaning shop, called a car, and went straight to the military command headquarters. After Meng Ge Yas incident just now, she suddenly felt that coming to school today was really the wrong choice. Her life should have been spent on enjoying life, not wasting time and energy with unnecessary people. The little sisterhood between her and Meng Ge Ya had disappeared the moment Meng Ge Ya pushed her into the swimming pool, when she could not swim. Nan Fei clearly remembered that when she was struggling in the water, the nine-year-old Meng Ge Ya looked at her coldly from the shore, her eyes like a poisonous scorpion. Cold, vicious, and poisonous. She was very much like her father, Meng Hua. If it were not for her grandfathers trusted bodyguards passing by the swimming pool, she would have died at such a young age. The scenery outside the window flew past. Nan Feis gaze swept past the camphor trees by the side of the road. Today was a sunny day. The sky was blue and the clouds were white. She should not have been thinking about these terrible things. If she had known earlier, she would have come to the military command headquarters early in the morning. It would have been better to see the upright soldier than to look at Meng Ge Yas resentful face. With a smile, Nan Fei took out her phone and opened the dialogue box with Zuo Qishen in WeChat. Commander Zuo, should I return your clothes now? She pressed the send button. Zuo Qishen did not reply to her, so Nan Fei played a game on her phone for a while. After twenty minutes of playing, she opened WeChat and found that Zuo Qishen still did not reply to her. Nan Fei rubbed her eyes. The left army had a lot of things to attend to, so of course she could understand. She would talk about it when she got there. She looked at the scenery outside the window. The military command headquarters was in another area in the south. It was still far away, at least an hours drive away. Hence, she gradually narrowed her eyes and fell asleep in the car. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Over at the military command headquarters, Lu Jiang gaped at the bullseye of the shooting range that had been blown up. He grabbed the small soldier standing guard nearby and asked, Whats going on? The small soldier first gave a standard military salute, and then answered in a straight and honest manner, Report, this was shot by Commander Zuo in the early hours of yesterday morning. Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, What happened to the commander? He came here in the middle of the night to shoot a target? Report, we dont know either. The soldier thought carefully for a moment, and recalled the scene when the few of them on duty saw Commander Zuo appear last night. He just felt that the title of cold-faced commander was definitely not a bluff. At first glance, he felt that he could freeze people to death, but the moment he raised his gun, he felt that his whole body was full of blood. He shot dozens of times expressionlessly, then stared at the bulls-eye for a long time before leaving. It was as if he was venting some kind of emotion. Lu Jiang massaged his temples, feeling a little uncomfortable. When he saw the commander this morning, he recalled the displeasure and coldness he emitted from inside out. He seemed to have understood something. He was Commander Zuos lieutenant for many years. Others might not know, but he knew that there was only one woman who could make Commander Zuo so angry for so many years. Since he could not bear to touch her, he could only torture the bulls-eye in the middle of the night. Lu Jiang sighed silently in his heart. After giving a few more instructions to the soldiers, he left the shooting range with mixed feelings. He was thinking about how to bear with the low spirits of Commander Zuo later. He did not want to suffocate to death. A dignified and familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight. Lu Jiang immediately straightened his body and gave a standard military salute. He shouted at that person, Greetings, General Zuo! Zuo Yechang nodded and stopped in front of Lu Jiang. He said, Just in time. I have something to tell you. Please speak, General! Later, tell your Commander Zuo to go to the special training camp to personally see the new special forces soldiers that West Lake has recruited. Make him guard the gates. Yes, General! As Lu Jiang watched General Zuo leave, he silently mourned for those new special forces soldiers in his heart. Their leader was in a bad mood today. They would probably have to suffer. Zuo Qishen listened to General Zuos orders from Lu Jiang. His expression did not change much. He changed into a camouflage uniform that was convenient for training and left. Before he left, he threw a black thing to Lu Jiang. Lu Jiang nimbly caught it and looked at the thing in his hand in shock. It was a cell phone and it was broken. This Lu Jiang raised his head and looked at his commander with his mouth open. He was a little confused. Boss, did you throw the cell phone away like a grenade? It was so broken that it could not be used normally. In half an hour, buy a new one and send it to the training camp. Zuo Qishens eyes were still cold and stern, and his tone of giving orders was the same as on the battlefield. Lu Jiang rubbed his forehead. It took half an hour to get to the training camp from here, and he had to go downtown to buy a cell phone. How could he steal time to carry out the order? Boss, you can use mine He complained bitterly and handed over his cell phone with both hands. Zuo Qishen glanced at him coldly. So much to talk about? Do you want to train with those recruits? After saying that, he lifted his leg and left, his back straight and hard. Lu Jiang was instantly silenced. Training with the special forces recruits was an inhuman suffering. He sighed and resigned himself to his fate as he searched for the nearest electronics store on his phone. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Miss, this is the place. The driver tilted his head and looked at the back seat. His voice was not loud, but the girl who seemed to be asleep immediately opened her eyes. At that moment, the womans eyes seemed to have a chill in them. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with frost. The driver shook his head and smiled awkwardly. So you didnt fall asleep? Nan Fei lowered her eyelids and looked up again. Soon, she returned to her obedient and lovely expression. She shook her head and smiled gently Thank you, Master. After paying, she got out of the car. Nan Fei stood by the roadside and rubbed her temples in annoyance. Just now, she dreamt of Meng Hua again. She dreamt of the eyes of a poisonous snake and the ferocious face. He hated her as much as he loved her mother. Nan Fei had a faint mocking smile on her face. This man was really incompetent. Back then, he could not control his woman. Now, he only had the ability to hate her. What was the use of hating her? She was still living a good life. Nan Fei adjusted her breathing and filtered out the disgusting things in her mind. She looked at the tall and dignified military command headquarters building in front of her and the little brother who stood at the door with a straight posture. She pursed her lips and smiled. Carrying the bag containing the dry-cleaned coat, Nan Fei walked toward the entrance of the military headquarters. Seeing the shock and astonishment that flashed past the soldier on guard, Nan Fei stopped at the door. She raised her arm that was holding the bag slightly and took the initiative to say to him, Hello, I dont have an ID. Can I go in? The soldier on guard was a little stunned. It seemed that it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful and sensible woman. Yes. He nodded. I want to look for Commander Zuo. Can you help me go in and inform him? Nan Fei squinted her eyes. Seeing the soldiers stunned look, she added, Commander Zuo Qishen. The soldier looked at her strangely. Why are you looking for Commander Zuo? He had been in the army for so many years, but he had never seen Commander Zuo let a woman get close to him. This woman was so beautiful. Maybe she was a spy. The soldiers eyes were filled with killing intent. Nan Fei looked at the soldiers changing eyes and blinked. She shook the bag in her hand. Dont be nervous, Im here to return some clothes to Commander Zuo. The soldier looked at her suspiciously. He was even more suspicious of this womans background. Return some clothes? Did Commander Zuo lend her clothes to wear? It did not exist. Commander Zuo was infamous for not getting close to women. He was cold-blooded and indifferent. He trained the recruits mercilessly in the army. He should not be able to take care of women by giving them clothes. You, whats your identity?! The soldiers tone became sharp, and his eyes stared at Nan Fei like a hawk. Nan Fei pursed her lips. She lowered her head and took out her phone from her bag to open WeChat. Zuo Qishen still did not reply her. It seemed that she would not be able to see Zuo Qishen today. Nan Fei sighed silently in her heart. Everything was really not going well today. She had met Meng Ge Ya, dreamt about Meng Hua, and even tried to return his a coat for nothing in the end. She had better go home and sleep. Hence, Nan Fei stuffed the bag in her hand into the soldiers hand and winked at him innocently. I am a good citizen of Z Country. Please give this coat to Commander Zuo. Just say that a woman named Nan Fei came to return the coat. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lu Jiang held the new phone that he had just asked someone to deliver. When he walked out of the headquarters, he saw this scene. When he saw a familiar beautiful woman, his pupils constricted and he rubbed his eyes hard. He felt that he and those newly promoted special forces soldiers could be saved. He strode forward and stopped beside Nan Fei. However, he asked the soldier who was standing guard, What are you doing? Why are you stopping her? Lu Jiang turned around and smiled kindly at Nan Fei without waiting for the soldier to answer. Miss, what brings you to the headquarters? Nan Fei was stunned when the officer suddenly rushed in front of her. She looked at his face and paused for a few seconds before answering, I want to return some clothes to Commander Zuo. Lu Jiangs smile deepened. He slapped the box containing the phone on his arm and said, Miss, Ill take you there! Nan Fei was greatly frightened by his powerful roar. She took two steps back and looked at him strangely. Who are you? Why did she feel that he looked a little familiar? He had dark skin, strong facial features, and thick lips. He had the masculinity of a soldier. Have I seen you before? Nan Fei pursed her lips and asked. Lu Jiang smiled warmly. He waved his hand and said half-jokingly to Nan Fei, Of course Miss Nan has seen my common face. How do you know my surname is Nan? The womans gaze became even more suspicious. Lu Jiangs gaze froze. He really wanted to slap himself. How did he slip up? He smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily, I met Miss Nan when I was on a mission near the school a long time ago. Sigh, Miss Nan, didnt you want to send clothes to the boss? Im his lieutenant. Ill bring you there now. Lu Jiang walked down the stairs in two or three steps and jumped into a military sedan. He opened the window and waved at Nan Fei. Miss Nan, please get in the car! Nan Fei looked at Lu Jiangs face and thought for a moment before getting into the car. Zuo Qishens lieutenant. It was fine if he looked familiar, but why was he so enthusiastic? The boss went to the training camp to inspect the new recruits. Miss Nan, it will take about half an hour to get to the training camp from here. You can sleep for a while. Lu Jiang turned the steering wheel and said to the woman in the passenger seat beside him, But I will try my best to be as fast as possible. Originally, no outsiders were allowed into the recruit training camp. However, this person, hehehe. Lu Jiang stepped on the accelerator and looked at the dusty mountain road in front of him, giggling foolishly. This was his sister-in-law. They were on the same side, so of course they could enter. Although it was still spring, for some reason, the capital city had been exceptionally hot these two days. There were no clouds in the sky. The dazzling golden sunlight poured directly onto the flat training ground, and the dust and dirt particles in the air could be clearly seen. Zuo Qishen was dressed in a camouflage uniform. His military boots stepped on the sand, and the stones rubbed against the soles of his shoes, making a creaking sound. He wore black sunglasses, and his thin lips were pursed. Together with his sharp jaw line, his entire persona emitted an aura that no one was allowed to enter. He stopped at a flat area beside the quagmire. He looked at the recruits doing push-ups inside with an expressionless face. The recruit instructor beside him looked at his expressionless and cold side profile, then at the recruits in the quagmire. He was a little puzzled. These recruits were not lazy, so why was Commander Zuo stopping in here? Zuo Qishen lifted his lips and asked lightly, Instructor Chen, these people you trained are they special forces soldiers? Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Instructor Chen was stunned. After he reacted, he smiled awkwardly. Yes, Commander! When the commander asked this question, he knew that the commander was not satisfied with them. However, he could not figure out what these recruits did wrong. They did not even stop doing push-ups. Zuo Qishen seemed to smile and asked in return, Is that so? Why do I feel like a child playing house in a quagmire? Instructor Chen had an embarrassed look on his face. Zuo Qishen did not look at him anymore. He took a big step and walked up to the high ground. Then, he slightly leaned his body and stepped into the quagmire. The mud splashed and stained his black army boots and army-green trouser legs. He stepped on the back of one of the recruits and used some strength. The recruit instantly let out a muffled groan. The mans sunglasses reflected the scorching sun. Under the sunlight, the expression of pain on the recruits face was particularly clear. Bean-sized sweat beaded from his forehead. When you do push-ups, bury your face in the mud, Zuo Qishen said calmly, but the words he said were extremely harsh. He removed the leg that was originally stepping on the recruits back and ordered, Do it again for me to see. The recruit gritted his teeth. This time, he finally hardened his heart and smashed his face into the mud. When his face was exposed again, the yellow and black mud completely covered his facial features. Only then did Zuo Qishen move his gaze away from him. He turned his head to look at Instructor Chen who was standing foolishly at the side. Instructor Chen, do you see this? This is my standard. His voice was not loud, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression. Instructor Chen looked at Zuo Qishen, then looked at the recruits who seemed to be unable to breathe. His gaze was complicated. Zuo Qishen looked down at him from above. When he spoke again, there was a hint of viciousness in his voice. West Lake doesnt need trash who cant even do push-ups in the quagmire! With your training, how can you enter the battlefield of M Country? Do you want to be captured as hostages? All push-ups, one more hour! Zuo Qishen raised his leg and walked out of the quagmire with one step. If I see any face that is still white, one more white face will add another hour! Instructor Chen looked at Zuo Qishens cold and tough face and felt complicated. In fact, he also understood the intentions of Commander Zuo. After all, he was a person who had fought on the front line for two years, so his feelings would definitely be different. If he was soft-hearted toward the new recruits now, they might die under the enemys guns in the future when they went to the battlefield. Commander Zuo was indeed the famous iron-blooded commander of the military region. Sighing, Instructor Chen shouted into the mud, What are you standing there for?! Didnt you hear what the commander said? Continue! Nan Fei stood not far away and looked at the tall and cold man in sunglasses who came up from the mud. Her fingers tightened slightly as she held the bag. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with some complicated emotions. Lu Jiang could not help but explain in a low voice, Miss Nan, dont be afraid. Our leader is only a little fierce during training. He is still very friendly to people in private. Nan Fei shook her head. Youre talking nonsense. How can Commander Zuo be a person who is not what he appears to be? Lu Jiang rubbed his head awkwardly. He had a dumb mouth, and it seemed that he was getting more and more muddled. Nan Fei said faintly, Lieutenant Lu, did you go through the same thing back then? Lu Jiang shook his head. No, Im just his lieutenant. I help him with miscellaneous matters. Its not my turn to go to the battlefield. Nan Fei puffed up her cheeks and exhaled. The air bangs on her forehead were lifted and then drooped down again. The moment Zuo Qishen came up from the mud, he saw Nan Fei. In the training ground that was covered with layers of camouflage clothing and layers of yellow soil and sand, the womans long and soft black hair, fair skin, and light blue dress were particularly eye-catching. Today, her hair was braided into an elaborate fish tail. Her oval face was exquisite and small, and the few strands of bangs on her forehead made her look pure and gentle. She stood beside Lu Jiang and looked in the direction of the mud for an unknown amount of time. Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen frowned slightly. His black eyes under the sunglasses flickered, causing a slight ripple. He pursed his lips and walked toward Nan Fei. Step by step, his body was tall and straight. Nan Fei suddenly curved her lips into a smile. She moved closer to Lu Jiang and said softly, Lieutenant Lu, actually what I want to say is Lu Jiang held his breath. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the womans lips that were opening and closing. He heard her say, Commander Zuo is such a manly instructor. Give me a dozen of them. Lu Jiang smiled. He took the phone that he had prepared for Commander Zuo and patted his own arm with all his might. He smiled foolishly at Nan Fei. Miss Nan is indeed wise! Wise! Wise! Little sister-in-law was indeed not an ordinary person. She was simply a fairy from the mortal world! No wonder Commander Zuo had been thinking about her for so many years. Zuo Qishen looked at the two people who were laughing so hard that it seemed like they had been fighting for a long time. His originally furrowed eyebrows became even tighter. He looked at the watch on his wrist expressionlessly. He took out the box containing the phone from Lu Jiangs hand and said, Lieutenant Lu, you used forty minutes on this mission. You exceeded the time limit by ten minutes. The smile on Lu Jiangs face gradually disappeared. He looked nervous and gave Zuo Qishen a meaningful look. Boss, didnt I bring my sister-in-law here? Cant you make an exception? Zuo Qishen directly ignored his gaze and pointed at the quagmire behind him. One hour of push-ups with the new recruits! The tone of his voice was an order that could not be refused. Lu Jiangs thick lips were almost flattened into a duck. He looked at Nan Fei as if he was asking for help. Nan Fei did not hide. She met his gaze with a smile. Lieutenant Lu, I still know a little about the rules in the army. If you dont complete the mission, you will be punished. Go, go, finish it early and have breakfast. The last ray of light in Lu Jiangs eager gaze was extinguished. He resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the direction of the quagmire. It seemed that his sister-in-law was not an easy person to fool. Zuo Qishens lips drew a faint curve that was not easily noticed by others. Why are you here? He asked. Nan Fei raised the hand that was holding the bag and waved it in front of his eyes. She said, Im here to return your coat. Zuo Qishen took the bag from her hand. His sunglasses were clamped on the bridge of his tall and straight nose, making his already cold and hard temperament even worse. Lets talk inside. After he finished speaking, he walked toward the rest area in front of him. Nan Fei blinked her eyes. This commander was sometimes as cold and aloof as her familys Tibetan mastiff. No wonder the crown prince liked him so much. Birds of the same feather flocked together. What are you thinking about? The man who was originally walking forward with a straight gaze suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at her indifferently. Nan Feis entire body was about to hit his chest. Caught off guard, her mind was filled with Zuo Qishens cold and aloof image of him wearing sunglasses and speaking coldly, so she blurted out, I miss you, Commander Zuo. Zuo Qishen instantly froze. The dark pupils under the sunglasses moved slightly, but they were soon covered with a thin layer of anger and mockery. The fingers holding the phone gradually tightened, and the bones of his fingers protruded. F*ck, even though he knew that she was just a heartless little vixen and that his words could not be taken seriously, he still failed time and time again. F*ck. Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei was startled when she heard the creaking sound coming from the mans tightly clenched fists. Only then did she come back to her senses and remember what she had just said She pursed her lips in annoyance. Had her brain been rusty recently. Zuo Qishen snorted coldly and swept her a cold glance before turning around and walking forward. Nan Fei bit her lip. The man was tall and had long legs. She had to jog to barely keep up with his pace. As she ran, she barely managed to explain, Commander Zuo, Im sorry. I didnt mean to do that just now. Zuo Qishen did not look at her. He continued to walk forward without looking away. His pace gradually quickened. Nan Fei was having some difficulty following him. She sighed silently in her heart. Commander Zuo was a serious and upright soldier. He had a very righteous outlook on life. He could not be casually flirted with. Although it was really not intentional, she was indeed in the wrong. She reflected on herself. She stopped outside the lounge. Commander Zuo, Ive returned your clothes to you. Shall I go back first? According to Nan Feis experience, the angrier a person was, the more one could not loiter in front of him. No matter how he looked at her when he was angry, she would feel even more stifled in her heart. Hence, she had better go home. After all, his clothes had already been delivered. Even though the man took off his sunglasses and sat down, fiddling with the phone in his hand and did not look up at her, Nan Fei still smiled politely at him before turning around. She respected soldiers very much. After witnessing the scene in the quagmire just now, she respected soldiers even more. Nan Fei, you motherf*cker, stop right there! Zuo Qishen slammed the phone in his hand on the table and looked at the woman who was about to turn around and leave. Nan Fei was stunned. She slowly turned around and looked at Zuo Qishen with a friendly smile on her face. Commander Zuo, do you need me to come in? She asked. The corners of her lips curled up, and the mischievous lying silkworm in her eyes flowed out. She looked very obedient. Just like two years ago, the beautiful and delicate girl spoke gently like a little kitten. However, he had forgotten that the cat did not recognize him as its master. Therefore, as soon as he entered the battlefield, she followed someone else. Zuo Qishen stared at her for a long time, and a mocking, cold look gradually appeared on his stern face. Nan Fei, how many of your words are true? Nan Fei was really stunned this time. She looked at Zuo Qishen in a daze. When she thought about his expression and the tone of his voice, why did she detect a hint of resentment from him? Could it be that she had done something like abandoning her husband and son in the past? However, when she counted the eighteen years she had been growing up, she was very sure that she had never seen Zuo Qishen before. Hence, this must be her illusion. Commander Zuo, every word I said and every punctuation mark is true. After calming herself down, Nan Fei looked at him with a sincere expression. Zuo Qishen snorted coldly. Did you really want to come in just now? Didnt you want to leave as soon as possible? Nan Fei was stunned. How could he tell? Her smile was not in place? Her tone was not sincere enough? Nan Fei pursed her lips. Since she had been seen through, she decided to take the initiative to admit her mistake. Looking up, her peach blossom eyes were filled with a bright smile. Nan Fei took two steps forward and approached Zuo Qishen. Commander Zuo, you looked like you didnt want to talk to me just now. Im a very obedient and sensible girl. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible so that I wouldnt make you unhappy here. Zuo Qishen looked at her coldly. His jaw was still taut, and the expression on his face did not change at all. He held his phone and knocked on the table one after another. He asked, Then tell me, why dont I want to talk to you? Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei blinked and said frankly, Its probably because what I said made Commander Zuo uncomfortable. Which sentence? The man asked calmly, still using his phone to knock on the table. The knocking sound was slow and forceful. Nan Fei hesitated for a moment, but still answered honestly, I miss you. Zuo Qishen stood up from his chair, walked around the desk, and walked toward Nan Fei. Her small face was as beautiful as ever, and innocent and calm. Every time, she would tease him until his heart itched, and then she would leave by herself, looking very cool and unrestrained. No matter if it was two years ago or now. Zuo Qishens voice became a little harsher for some reason. Miss Nan, Im not someone you can casually flirt with. The mans tall figure faintly exuded a vicious aura. The smell of saltpeter blood on a man who had been on the battlefield was immediately suppressed. His sharp and cold gaze was like a piercing blade of ice, staring straight at her. That look of his was as if he was going to pull out his gun and kill her in the next second. Nan Fei took two steps back, feeling wronged. She was only an eighteen-year-old child. Why was he looking at her like he was looking at an enemy?! She did not do it on purpose. When he suddenly turned his head back, she had blurted it out. Moreover, she had already apologized for this matter a long time ago. With a cold face, she shouted at him, I was wrong, okay? Commander Zuo! Ive made you angry, so Ill leave now. After saying that, she walked out of the door, running away with her eyebrows furrowed. Why was he so fierce? She was not his soldier. It was so annoying. There were so many things to worry about. She should not have left the house today. A black hard object seemed to fly past her ear. With a bang, the door that was close to her, which was originally only half-closed, was tightly closed under the impact of the heavy object. The new mobile phone that he had just bought slid down from the middle of the door and fell to the ground. It was badly shattered. The mans steady and powerful footsteps gradually approached, and Nan Feis back gradually stiffened. Was this Commander Zuo so skilled? He even closed the door from a distance. His phone was in a pitiful state. Nan Nan. Zuo Qishen stopped beside her and suddenly let out a deep sigh. Nan Fei trembled, and her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly. Very few people called her Nan Nan. Everyone who called her Nan Nan was the person closest to her. Mu Mian, Yu Jingluo, her grandfather and mother had also called her Nan Nan. A flash of weakness and sadness flashed across the womans face. Zuo Qishen paused for a moment and softened his voice. He retracted his hostility and looked at Nan Fei as he said in a low voice, Enough, I didnt want to let you go. Then why are you so fierce?! Nan Feis eyes turned red and watery. Why? I said one wrong word, and youre ready to shoot me? Zuo Qishens thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line. He half-closed his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were a little complicated. He had indeed gone a little overboard. After all, she did not know what had happened two years ago. Now, he was just a stranger to her who she had only known for two days. The bloody and vicious aura that he had just brought down from the battlefield would indeed scare her. Dont cry, he said with a frown and a softer voice. Its my fault. I shouldnt have scolded you. Since he had already fallen into her hands, he could only admit it. However, this time, she could not run away just because she wanted to. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across the mans face. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei was focused on crying and wiping her tears away. She did not notice Zuo Qishens ever-changing expression. Zuo Qishen saw that she looked like she was wronged and would not listen to him. He paused for a moment and said to her tentatively, Why dont I bring you to the shooting range to play? Nan Feis originally whining voice suddenly stopped. She put down her hand that was wiping away her tears and raised her head to look at the man in front of her. The expression on his face did not look like he was joking. Commander Zuo, are you going to teach me how to shoot?! Her eyes were instantly filled with stars. The corners of her lips curled up as she looked at him with a face full of anticipation. Zuo Qishens initially regretful expression instantly disappeared. He stared coldly into her eyes. His expression changed every second. He suspected that Nan Fei was pretending to cry just now. She was really going to go to heaven after suffering a little grievance. He was mocking her in his heart, but his tone unconsciously softened. He asked lightly, Dont you want to learn? Then, he raised his long, straight legs, opened the door, and walked out. Nan Fei was stunned for a second. Zuo Qishens pace was not slow. The camouflage suit and military boots gradually disappeared from her sight, becoming one with the surrounding yellow sand and dust. She jogged to catch up. Her aqua blue skirt fluttered, and the bangs on her forehead were blown away by the wind. Commander Zuo, wait for me. Ill come and learn! Shooting was the coolest thing ever. At the open-air shooting range, at this moment, a few special forces soldiers from West Lake were practicing their daily shooting. Although they had been in the army for seven or eight years and had been on the battlefield, the sun today was too dazzling. In addition, not far away, Commander Zuo had ordered his men to light the charcoal and let it emit thick black smoke. When these two conditions were combined, it really affected the line of sight. Therefore, the hit rate had decreased by a lot. Zuo Qishen looked at the miserable target in front of them with an expressionless face. We just won the battle, but are we relaxing already? Boss, the sun today A special forces soldier explained with a frown. Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by a brother next to him. Reporting to the commander, its our fault for being lax! We will increase the intensity of our training in the future! The vice-captain saluted Zuo Qishen. Zuo Qishen nodded and said to him indifferently, Help me get a pair of protective glasses. Ah? The vice-captain was a little stunned. Boss, its just pistol shooting. Dont we special forces soldiers never use those things? The protective glasses were mainly used to protect the eyes and bullet-proof shells against strong light. However, the special forces soldiers were not so delicate. They had to spend a lot of time practicing pistol shooting, just like a woman. Who said its for you? Oh, oh, yes! The vice-captain nodded. Although he still did not understand the situation, he still obeyed the order and ran to get a pair of protective glasses. The moment he handed the protective goggles to Commander Zuo, the pistol in the holster in his trouser pocket was also taken away. Zuo Qishen loaded the gun in his hand and shot at the target first. His speed was extremely fast, and his movements were practiced as if it was instinctive. A gust of wind blew away the thick smoke. The special forces soldiers saw the black hole that was shot through at the center of the target. The boss is the boss Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and practice! Looking at his subordinates infatuated face, Zuo Qishen frowned deeply. Oh, oh, yes! The special forces soldier saluted. However, he suddenly stopped when he turned around. Boss, are my eyes blurry? There seems to be a woman there He rubbed his eyes and pointed in Nan Feis direction. But why would there be a woman in the training camp? Nan Fei smiled sweetly. She pinched her blue dress and waved at him. There are no flowers. Im a woman! The special forces soldier giggled. This woman had a beautiful smile, so he raised his hand and waved at her in return. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen looked at the interaction between the two of them, and his expression turned ugly. With a cold expression, he walked straight to Nan Feis side and put the protective goggles in his hand on her. Then, he pushed the bangs on her forehead to the side. The mans rough fingers touched Nan Feis forehead, and she blinked. The special forces soldier at the side looked as if he had seen a ghost. Am I dreaming? The boss actually helped her with her hair? So the protective glasses are for this woman The vice-captain muttered, When did the boss become so protective of women? Before they could figure out the situation, they were shocked to find that the commander had already begun to teach this woman how to shoot a gun. Straighten your right arm, relax your shoulder, and pull your left arm back. Keep the upper half of your body steady. Zuo Qishen adjusted the position of her arm and pulled her left shoulder back. Nan Fei felt the angle and strength of Zuo Qishens pull on her arm, and tried her best to do as he said. Now, use your eyes to find an area to aim, and then use the gun to find your line of sight. The mans voice was low and gentle, like a curse in her ears. Nan Fei followed his orders and found a target area. Zuo Qishen looked at the position she was aiming at and frowned. If he fired like this, he probably would not even be able to hit the target. He quietly walked behind her. Zuo Qishen slightly raised her arm and found a new line of sight. Shoot! Nan Fei closed her eyes and pulled the trigger. The powerful recoil made her feel as if she had been pushed hard from the front. She fell backward and crashed into a hard chest. Zuo Qishen pressed against her shoulder. Seeing her silly look, he took the gun from her hand and took off the protective glasses on her eyes. Stunned? He brushed the fringe on Nan Feis forehead, with a faint smile on his lips. Nan Fei looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and muttered, Stunned. He was caught off guard and asked her to shoot. She really followed her instincts and fired. Did I miss the target Nan Fei turned her head hesitantly and looked in the direction of the target. At the end of the thick smoke, she seemed to see a black hole appear at the tenth ring?! I hit it? Nan Fei looked at the target with a terrified face, then looked at Zuo Qishen, who was beside her. Was that shot by me? Zuo Qishen raised his hand and slapped her on the head, neither too heavy nor too light. He said lightly, If it wasnt you, could it be me? Ah. Nan Feis slow reflex finally transmitted the excitement and joy to her nerve endings. She was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled and jumped up to hug the man next to her. I got the first shot! Im so happy! The womans soft body pressed against his hard body. She seemed to be hugging him very tightly. Zuo Qishen could even smell the fragrance on her body. His eyes were filled with warmth. He raised his hand and touched the exquisite fishbone braids on Nan Feis head. Mm, youre great, he said. The demon concubine has appeared! A special forces soldier said in fear, Boss is teaching her hand by hand?! We dont even have such treatment! Tenth ring! This woman is about to become a spirit! Nonsense, I clearly saw boss lift her arm just now. Otherwise, how could she be so accurate Zuo Qishen swept a cold glance over. Why are you so talkative? Is it because you have too much energy? Do you want to do a 10 kilometer cross-country in the mountains? Chapter 27 - Hello, Everyone. I’m Commander Zuo’s Distant Cousin. My Name is Nan Meow Meow!” Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei blinked and let go of the arm that was hugging Zuo Qishen. She actually heard what Zuo Qishen had just said. She herself knew that it was because Zuo Qishen had helped her find a good angle that she was able to hit the target. However, she turned around and looked at the special forces soldier just now. She smiled and said, Little brother, its my ability to get Commander Zuo to help me find the angle. If youre as pretty as me, you can experience the feeling of having ten rings on your first shot. Everyone laughed. This girl was interesting. Boss, arent you going to introduce her? Who is this girl? The vice-captain asked curiously. Nan Fei saw Zuo Qishen suddenly frown and then looked at the group of soldiers malicious smiles. She immediately understood. They must have misunderstood. Nan Fei pursed her lips, and before Zuo Qishen could speak, she took the initiative to say to them, Hello, everyone. Im a distant cousin of Commander Zuo. My name is Nan Meow Meow! The vice-captain raised his eyebrows. So youre my cousin. I thought you were my sister-in-law. Nan Fei waved her hand and shook her head. No, no, youve misunderstood. My cousin, the flower of the mountains, has high standards. Uncle Zuo even urged me to introduce a girlfriend to him yesterday. If theres any good news, Ill tell everyone! 20 kilometers cross-country in the mountains, now. Commander Zuos voice sounded very gloomy and unfriendly. It seems that you guys really have too much energy. If you have time, you can gossip here. The vice-captain knew that he had a lot to say. He saluted and led the team to carry out the order. Nan Fei blinked and turned to look at Zuo Qishen. Cousin, I reacted quickly! I didnt let myself tarnish your reputation! Her eyes were sparkling, and she looked like she was asking for praise. Zuo Qishen slapped her head with a backhand and sneered, Youre really good. When did my father take in such a big nephew like you? This slap was not light. Nan Fei rubbed her head, and her lips gradually pursed. Why did you hit me?! Commander Zuo, I was kind enough to help you explain. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Qishen very seriously, and said word by word, Commander, you can hit me, but you cant hit my head. If you hit me until I become stupid, it will ruin my life. Zuo Qishen sneered and ignored her nonsense. He said, Do you still want to learn how to shoot? I want to learn how to shoot! Having many skills did not weigh her down. Put on your protective glasses, raise your gun, and stand in the position I just taught you. Yes, Commander. Half an hour later, Zuo Qishen sat on the chair with his sunglasses on. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman who was still standing still and obediently holding the gun as he asked. She was so obedient? He originally thought that she was just a delicate young lady, a flower that was carefully raised in a greenhouse. He did not expect that her willpower was that strong. She remained in the same position holding the gun for half an hour and did not move. Zuo Qishen took off his sunglasses and stood up from the chair. He walked over to her and pressed down on the muzzle of her gun with two fingers. Its about time. He took the gun from her hand and threw it to the side. He explained, I asked you to keep this position so that your muscles can remember the position of holding the gun and form a shooting instinct. Nan Fei took off the pair of protective glasses on her face and slowly rubbed her right hand with her left hand. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel uncomfortable after standing there for so long. It was so painful. Zuo Qishen looked at her frowning face as if she was tired of talking. He said calmly, Actually, in real combat, learning to shoot is not merely knowing how to fire a gun. The moment you hear the gunshot, dont just stand there like a fool. Lie down and wait for an opportunity to strike. Do you understand? Okay. Nan Fei continued to rub her hand. It was rare for her to only say one word. After all, her right hand was uncomfortable. Nan Fei, why do you want to learn to shoot? Zuo Qishen asked indifferently. I can tell how much you dont like it. Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Those who truly loved shooting would have their eyes lit up the moment they saw a gun. However, Nan Fei did not. She was only determined to learn this skill. Nan Fei was stunned for two seconds. She raised her head to look at him before quietly lowering her head again. Her left hand, which was originally rubbing her right hand, gradually dropped down and pinched the corner of her skirt. Commander Zuo, would you believe me if I told you that there is someone in this world who has wanted to kill me since I was born? Zuo Qishens pupils constricted as if he had thought of something. His gaze as he looked at the woman gradually became complicated. He knew about this. Two years ago, on the eve of his going to the front line, Nan Fei had told him through the cold computer screen that she had discovered that she was not her fathers biological daughter. She had also said that she was very afraid because she had a feeling that Meng Hua wanted to kill her. At that time, he really wanted to look for her, but the military had already sent a helicopter to the roof of his house. Military orders were like mountains, and he had no choice but to obey. He could only order Lu Jiang to protect her as much as possible. He also lost the only chance to meet this girl. So you only want to learn this to protect yourself? After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice. Nan Fei nodded slightly. Youre living alone in Ming An Garden now? Nan Fei nodded and shook her head. Not alone. Theres also Crown Prince. Whos Crown Prince? My familys Tibetan mastiff. Zuo Qishen stared at her for a long while before saying, Nan Fei, Ive just returned to the country and havent found a house yet. Im living in the army barracks now. Ah. Nan Fei looked at him in a daze. The thought process of Commander Zuo was so fast that she could not keep up. Looking for a house? Arent you living with the Zuo family? Theres only me and my father in the Zuo family. Theres no need for two men to be together every day. Oh. Nan Fei thought for a moment and then asked, Dont you have your own apartment or villa under your name? Im tired of living here, Zuo Qishen answered without changing his expression. I want to buy a new one. Nan Fei gave him a thumbs up in her heart and did not say anything else. I taught you how to shoot. Shouldnt you give me something in return? Yes. Nan Fei nodded in agreement. She was thinking about whether she should treat him to a meal or buy him a gift some other day. Theres no need for a meal. Zuo Qishen seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Id rather you help me find a house. Nan Feis eyes instantly widened. Shouldnt this sort of thing be left to your lieutenant? Im a design student, so Im not good at choosing houses. Why not? Zuo Qishen looked at her indifferently. I think the Ming An Garden place that you chose is pretty good. Its close to the mountains and rivers. Nan Fei took two steps back, her eyes widening. You want to be my neighbor? No? Nan Feis head shook like a rattle-drum. She said with certainty, No, no, no. Zuo Qishens face darkened as he looked at her coldly. Nan Fei pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment, Commander Zuo, when I bought the house two years ago, in order to facilitate the activities of Crown Prince, I bought the entire 16th floor and then renovated all the houses on that floor. So probably no one can be my neighbor now. Zuo Qishen was silent for a while. Nan Fei carefully looked at Zuo Qishens face that seemed to be a little unhappy and said tentatively, Commander Zuo, but it seems that no one lives below my house yet Commander Zuos eyes were deep, and there was even a hint of wanting to smoke. Men below and women above? That was such a bad moral. Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation That night, when Nan Fei opened the window and saw the familiar Maybach parked downstairs, she understood Zuo Qishens boldness as a military commander. Zuo Qishen had sent Lu Jiang to send her back after teaching her how to shoot this morning. He did not ask her about the house, so Nan Fei thought he was just teasing her when he said he would move in. She did not expect him to really move in. It was just downstairs, on the 15th floor. Nan Fei, come down and help me carry my luggage. Zuo Qishens deep and cold voice pierced through Nan Feis eardrums through the phone speaker. Crown Prince, who was originally lying lazily on the carpet, heard the voice of the strange man and lifted his snow-white body with great interest. He smelled the scent of gossip. Nan Fei looked at her pajamas. She had just taken a shower and had to change her clothes when she went down. It was too troublesome. She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, Can I not come down? The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became heavy. Nan Fei could feel the mans deep displeasure through the receiver. She sighed silently in her heart. Zuo Qishen had just taught her how to shoot in the morning. One should not be too heartless and should return the favor. Hence, she quickly changed her words. Okay, okay. Commander Zuo, Ill come down after I change my clothes. Zuo Qishen directly hung up the phone and leaned on the Maybachs car door expressionlessly. Lu Jiang looked at the five suitcases in front of him and touched his head in confusion. Boss, these five suitcases are not even full. They are very light. I can carry them up by myself. Why do you have to let sister-in-law come down? Zuo Qishen did not explain. He just cast a sidelong glance at him and said, Dont try to be a hero later. Just take two of them honestly. Oh, oh, which two? Whichever. Boss. Lu Jiang still could not help but ask, Why do you have to put the things in five suitcases? If you take a big suitcase and fill it to the brim, you can carry it up in one trip. How neat! In this way, we dont have to trouble sister-in-law he muttered softly. Zuo Qishen took the phone in his hand and slapped it on the car window behind him. He frowned and said, Why do you have so much nonsense? Not bothering her? If he did not bother her, she, a heartless person, would forget about him, Zuo Qishen, at any moment! Lu Jiang looked at the phone in his hand and became anxious. Boss, dont vent your anger on the phone anymore. This is already the third one! Zuo Qishen ignored him and said in a low voice, Dont call Nan Fei sister-in-law in front of her. Yes! Lu Jiang chuckled. I know that. Zuo Qishen slid the phone in his hand into the pocket of his trousers and narrowed his eyes at the woman who walked out of the corridor. Unlike the fishbone braids in the morning, her long hair was scattered and she wore a simple and elegant white dress. When she walked over, there was a faint smile on her lips. Commander Zuo! She had not even left the corridor when she greeted him from afar. The smile on the womans face was too relaxing. Lu Jiang laughed foolishly and blurted out, Sister-in-law Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the chest by Zuo Qishen, who was beside him. He forcefully swallowed the word. When Nan Fei got closer, she realized that Lu Jiang had also come along. She turned her head and waved at him. Lieutenant Lu! Nan, Miss Nan. Lu Jiang rubbed his chest as he spoke because the boss hit him really hard. Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei looked at the five black suitcases on the ground, then at the man who was leaning against the Maybachs door with an inscrutable expression. Take any one of them, Zuo Qishen said calmly. Okay. Nan Fei picked up one of the suitcases obediently. Then, she watched Zuo Qishen pick up two of them himself, and Lu Jiang picked up two of them as well. The three of them walked into the elevator up the stairs. As the elevator rose, the number of floors kept increasing. Lu Jiang chatted with Nan Fei in a friendly manner. Miss Nan, what were you doing at home just now? I just took a shower. Nan Fei pursed her lips and glanced at the tall and handsome man beside her. Then, your Commander Zuo called me down. Oh, oh. Lu Jiang scratched his head and thought for a while. Then, he said, I had a little too much luggage. Sorry to trouble you. Its alright, its alright. Its my duty. Nan Fei waved her hand and smiled. Commander Zuo even taught me how to shoot today. Zuo Qishen took a deep look at her. The corners of the womans eyes were curved, and the words she said were rather pleasing. To think that she still remembered that he taught her how to shoot, her conscience had grown a little. The elevator stopped at the 15th floor. Zuo Qishen watched as Lu Jiang placed the two suitcases in front of his house and coldly issued the eviction order. You can leave now. Lu Jiang was stunned. He still wanted to see what his boss new parents looked like. Receiving the army commanders impatient and even colder gaze, Lu Jiang quivered and obeyed the order. He walked into the elevator again and went straight to the first floor. Only Nan Fei and Zuo Qishen were left in the corridor. Nan Fei obediently placed Zuo Qishens suitcase in the middle of his house. Then, she raised her head and asked him tentatively, Commander Zuo, should I go back too? Zuo Qishen did not answer her. He just looked at her and said indifferently, Nan Fei, practicing marksmanship is not something that can be done in a day. Nan Fei nodded. I know. As if she had thought of something, a light flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up. Commander Zuo, can you continue teaching me? She had thought that it would not be easy for Commander Zuo, who had a high position and authority, to teach her all morning. She had not expected him to have the intention to continue teaching her! The womans undisguised happiness was reflected in Zuo Qishens pupils. The corners of his lips curved slightly, and a vague word came out from his throat. Yes. Be more obedient, and Ill continue teaching you. Nan Fei smiled with her eyes curved. At that moment, she even wanted to turn around and dance. Im obedient! After practicing her marksmanship, she did not have to be afraid of Meng Hua anymore. Every day, she would place a gun under her pillow. If anyone dared to touch her, she would reward him with a bullet! Then, will you go to the training ground with me tomorrow? Nan Fei thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head. No. Commander Zuo, tomorrow the school will organize an excursion. Im going to the art museum. During the sketch class today, the class monitor informed everyone that they were going to the art museum to do research tomorrow. The teacher had given them homework, and their fashion design class was going to start their personal collection. The art gallery was the repository of the painstaking work of art masters from both ancient and modern times. It was the source of inspiration. Although she skipped classes, most of the classes she skipped were theoretical ones with a lot of water in them. However, she would still attend practical and informative activities. After all, she really liked fashion design. Whatever she liked, she would try her best to do well. Zuo Qishen raised his eyebrows slightly. I didnt expect you to like studying so much. Of course! Nan Fei blinked. I love studying. Studying makes me happy! For a poor girl like her who did not love her parents, she had to work hard to manage her own life. She had to have a few sincere friendships and her own career. Only then could she fill the gap left by her family. Commander Zuo, how about the day after tomorrow? Ill go to the shooting range with you the day after tomorrow! Under the incandescent light in the corridor, the womans black hair was scattered. She raised her fair face and looked at him with a focused and expectant gaze. Zuo Qishen paused for a few seconds and said in a low voice, Okay. Then Ill go back now. Good night, Commander Zuo. Good night. Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo Qishen carried a few suitcases to the master bedroom, opened them and tidied them up a little. His luggage was actually very small. He had packed five suitcases just to find a reason for Nan Fei to go downstairs. His long, rough fingers grabbed a photo that was under the bottom of the suitcase. He raised his hand and placed it under the bright light. In the photo, a little girl about 10 years old was sitting on a bench by the fountain in the park. She had white dress, black hair, and a faint smile on her lips. Her tender eyebrows and eyes were already beginning to look beautiful. The photo was already a little yellowish and wrinkled, as if it had been sitting around for many years. He thought back to when he was 16 years old. He had just received three months of long demonic training in a training camp. The moment he got his phone back, he had clicked on Weibo, which he had almost never touched. Then, he clicked on the first item on the hot search list The girl who the entire entertainment industry is waiting for her to grow up. Then, he saw the photo. At that moment, he seemed to hear the clamor of the cells all over the body of the young man. A few years later, he graduated from the military academy. He had spent a lot of effort to get along with her through the computer screen. When he thought about all of this again, he felt that it was just fate. He put the photo into the desk drawer and looked at the phone that kept vibrating on the desk. His eyes darkened slightly. He paused for two seconds and swiped the screen. The phone was picked up. Commander Zuo, I heard that you helped Nan Fei smash up my office last night in Raph? The mans lazy and evil voice came from the other end of the phone. Why? Are you not satisfied with me helping you send her to your bed? Cheng Liangmu, I only said that I wanted her. I didnt ask you to drug her. Cheng Liangmu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips meaningfully. It seems that I misunderstood. I thought what Commander Zuo meant by wanting her was physical. Zuo Qishens eyes were cold and stern. He stood in front of the window and pursed his thin lips slightly. Cheng Liangmu spoke neither too fast nor too slow. Commander Zuo, then does our previous agreement still stand? Seeing that there was no reply from the other end of the phone, Cheng Liangmu narrowed his long and narrow eyes. He flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers and added, If you help me get the Cheng family, Ill help you get Nan Fei. There were some things that were better left unsaid. Innuendo. If one did not understand it properly, it would eventually cause trouble. Zuo Qishen sneered. Other than drugging her, do you have any other way to help me get her? It sounded so easy. Nan Fei looked so obedient, but in fact, she had a heart made of stone. It was not hard to cover it. You cant say that, Commander Zuo. Cheng Liangmu raised his eyelids and forced a smile that did not have any meaning. Are you interested in the one and a half years of love history between her and my brother? Zuo Qishens pupils constricted, and the fingers that were holding the phone gradually tightened, as if blue veins were faintly popping out. The breathing on the other end of the phone clearly became heavier. Cheng Liangmu smiled faintly, as he continued to provoke his emotions without revealing anything. Ah, I forgot. Commander Zuo has been out on the battlefield for two years. Im afraid the names and identities of these people in the capital city dont match up. My big brother is Cheng Shichu, a senior that Nan Fei met when she was in high school. Speaking of which, the little girls at that time really knew how to play. I think I had a double date with Mu Mian, my big brother, and Nan Fei. I remember the scene back then Enough, Zuo Qishen interrupted him coldly with an expressionless face. Help me keep an eye on Cheng Shichu. Ill help you with the Cheng family. Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cheng Liangmu put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and smiled with satisfaction. Commander Zuo, as a sign of sincerity for our cooperation, Ill tell you right now that Cheng Shichu will also go to the art gallery that Nan Fei is going to tomorrow. You said that my brother has a lot of things to attend to every day. However, he rejected a contract worth 50 million yuan and went to a small and shabby art gallery. Is he too full of himself? Du, du, du Cheng Liangmu heard the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone and raised his eyebrows. A soldier with such a straightforward personality and a bad temper. It was hard to say if he could win against his brother who was deeply immersed in the business world. Putting the phone back on the table, the man looked up and saw a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders leaning against the door of the room. She was only wearing a large black mans shirt, and the bruises on her snow-white skin were particularly distinct. She looked at him with love and affection in her eyes, but it was too faint compared to before. It was so faint that he had to look carefully for any clues. His heart tightened, and he smiled gently without batting an eyelid. Why dont you sleep a little longer? Cheng Liangmu. Mu Mian massaged the space between her eyebrows tiredly. Get someone to bring me some clothes. I want to go back. Theres some in the wardrobe. Have you forgotten? Mu Mian was slightly startled. She then rubbed her eyes and said, Oh, I havent been here for so long that Ive forgotten. When she turned around, she seemed to have paused for a few seconds before she lightly said, Ah, Mu, its better for you to smoke less. Cheng Liangmu sat on the sofa in the dimly lit corridor. The expression on his face was obscure. In the ashtray on the table, the cigarette butt stood up like a white sword. The light and shadow were faint, making it look lonely and sharp. No one knew who it was stuck in their hearts. Cheng Liangmus eyes were half-closed, and they were deep. After Nan Fei took a shower, she laid on the bed and played games on her tablet. Just as she was engrossed in her game, a WeChat notification suddenly appeared at the top of the screen. Mu Mian asked, [Nan Nan, where are you?] Nan Fei looked at these five words and the two punctuation marks over and over again and felt that something was wrong with Mu Mians state. Then, she recalled that night at Raph. Mu Mian seemed to have been taken away by Cheng Liangmu. She had not replied to her messages today either. Her expression froze, and she decisively closed the game. She opened WeChat and replied, [Im at home. Are you coming over?] Mu Mian replied, [Mm.]. She did not continue after that. Nan Fei gradually pursed her lips and got off the bed. She patted Crown Prince, who was lying on the carpet. Mu Mian doesnt seem happy. Shes coming over now. be more enthusiastic and dont be so cold. Let her be happy. Crown Prince looked up at her and lowered his head. Alright, hell do his best. After all, Mian was the woman who had fed him chicken breasts. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mu Mian pushed open the 16th-floor door and Nan Fei and Crown Prince pounced on her. She took a few steps back and looked at the two huge objects on her with wide eyes and a horrified expression. What are you guys doing? Are you crying? Nan Fei got down from her and slapped her head. What unlucky words are you saying? Crown Prince cooperatively wagged his tail. Mu Mian rubbed her head. Even Crown Prince is so enthusiastic. I suddenly feel scared. Nan Fei closed the door and looked at Mu Mian with a smile. We all miss you. Mu Mian changed her shoes and rolled her eyes at her. You can lie to innocent young men with your words. They had just met the day before yesterday. As if recalling something, Mu Mian pursed her lips and said in an apologetic tone, I Last night, I Before she could finish speaking, Nan Fei grabbed her shoulder and walked towards the master bedroom with her arm around her. Lets go, lets go. Mu Mian was slightly startled, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. This was the way they interacted. There were some things that Nan Fei would understand even if she did not need to explain. After more than ten years of friendship, the two of them had already formed an ingenious tacit understanding. She gently leaned her head on Nan Feis shoulder and allowed her to pull her into the room. A lot of her exhaustion suddenly disappeared. Nan Fei sat on the bed and looked at Mu Mian, who was changing into her pajamas. The dense purplish-green hickeys on the womans back and shoulders were exposed in the air. She frowned. It was Cheng Liangmu Mu Mian changed and turned around. When she saw Nan Feis tightly knitted brows, she smiled. Whats wrong? Are you sad that Cheng Liangmu is sleeping with me? Nan Fei crawled over and rested her chin on her shoulder. Yeah. Mu Mian laughed out loud and touched her face. She lazily narrowed her eyes. Actually, Cheng Liangmu is pretty good in bed. Its just sex. Every time I have sex with him, I feel good too. Its nothing, isnt it? So youre only infatuated with his body now? Mm. Mu Mians eyelids fell but she did not reply. Her eyes were emotionless. Lets not talk about him. You, on the other hand, were alone in Raph last night. You didnt run into any problems, right? Nan Fei pursed her lips. After thinking about it for a while, she still did not tell Mu Mian about Cheng Liangmu setting her up. Instead, she casually said, I almost got slept with. Mu Mians pupils constricted. ? Nan Fei smiled and patted Mu Mians head. Dont be nervous, I didnt get to sleep with anyone. Only then did Mu Mian let out a sigh of relief, and her eyelids drooped. What did you do? Nan Fei casually brushed it aside. Yeah, it was just a coincidence. Yeah? Thats not important. Whats important is that the little brother who slept with me was especially tall and handsome, and he was an excellent military commander! Mu Mian laughed out loud. Is that so? Yeah, and he has a really good outlook on life. Theres even a disgusting aphrodisiac burning in that room, but he didnt sleep with me. Mm-hm. Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Fei continued, Im quite happy to get to know this military commander. He even taught me how to shoot. Mu Mian seemed to have caught onto something. She raised her eyebrows and looked meaningfully at Nan Feis pretty little face. He taught you how to shoot after knowing you for two days? Does he like you? Nan Fei had been beautiful since she was young. When she was ten years old, she was captured by a passersby. Her photos were even trending on the internet. Many reports said that this girls looks were really impressive and that the entire entertainment industry was waiting for her to grow up. Although this matter was quickly suppressed by the Nan family and Nan Fei did not have any intentions of entering the entertainment industry, her face had indeed attracted many suitors and a lot of trouble for her. Sigh, it cant be. Nan Fei did not care too much about it. She played with Mu Mians fingers and said casually, Youre already an adult, so how can there be so many inexplicable loves? Maybe he saw that Im cute and pretty, so he just played with me. Mm-hm. What if he really likes you? Nan Fei stopped playing with Mu Mians fingers. After a few seconds, she said indifferently, Well talk about it then. Mu Mian looked at Nan Fei. When they talked about love, her expression was especially indifferent. There was a smile on her lips, but for some reason, she seemed to be indifferent. She seemed to be heartless. Mu Mian suddenly felt uncomfortable. She knew that Nan Feis current state had something to do with the messy matters of the Nan family. However, she was so beautiful and outstanding. She should have someone she liked in order to be considered perfect. Nan Nan. Mu Mian seemed to hesitate for a moment. Cheng Shichu, dont you like him? Cheng Shichu was the only boyfriend Nan Fei had ever had since she was young. Nan Fei had been together with Cheng Shichu during her first year of high school. At that time, she had been busy with Cheng Liangmu, so she did not really care about Nan Feis relationship problems. All she knew was that she had just moved out of the Nan family when she suddenly fell in love with Cheng Shichu. A year and a half later, the two of them were both dumped by the Cheng brothers after their college entrance exams. At that time, she was quite sad, but Nan Fei seemed to be fine. She knew that Nan Fei had a cold personality and that all her feelings were probably for herself, who grew up with her. However, she and Cheng Shichu had been together for at least a year and a half. After more than 500 days and nights, there might be something growing in silence. Nan Fei seemed to be a little tired. She raised her hand to cover her face and yawned before replying softly, Maybe. Her voice was very soft, but it made Mu Mians pupils shrink. When she looked at the woman next to her pillow again, she had already closed her eyes and was breathing evenly. She raised her hand to stroke Nan Feis hair, and her gaze was a little complicated. A sentence that she had read in a book suddenly appeared in her mind, a seemingly heartless person might be the most affectionate person. After a pause, Mu Mian still turned off the lights and closed her eyes. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next morning, when Nan Fei woke up, Mu Mian had already left. She left her a note saying that she was going to shoot for a magazine cover. She looked at the familiar and cute font on the note and rubbed her eyes. Although she had long known that Mu Mian was in the acting department, it still felt surreal. Her best friend, who had grown up together with her, had really stepped into the entertainment industry just like that. Sigh, Mian Mian was no longer her own Mian Mian. Soon, she would belong to the majority of her fans. Feeling a little melancholic, Nan Fei was not in the mood to braid her hair. In a daze, she casually took a hair band from the dresser and tied it into a ponytail. Today, she was going to the art museum to do some research. She might have to draw, so it was more convenient to tie her hair up. After casually eating some bread and milk, Nan Fei carried her camera and backpack out the door. After pressing the elevator button, Nan Fei watched as it continued to rise from the first floor. When it reached the sixteenth floor, it stopped. She walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. The lights in the elevator were a little pale. This kind of color was the most likely to make people sleepy. Nan Fei yawned. She had originally planned to sleep in the elevator for a while. Unexpectedly, the elevator seemed to have stopped at a certain floor in just two seconds. It seemed that some of the residents downstairs had also entered the elevator. Nan Fei opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw the person clearly, her pupils constricted. The tall and straight man was wearing an ice-blue shirt. His long legs were wrapped in a pair of hot suit pants. His eyes were cold and stern, and his expression seemed a little hostile. Although she could clearly sense that the man who had just walked in was in a bad mood, Nan Fei still stood still as if it was a reflex. Then, the corners of her mouth curved into a bright and friendly smile. Good morning, Commander Zuo! Zuo Qishen gave her a cold look. It was only after a long while that he snorted from his nose as a response. Nan Fei had long been used to his attitude. She was not angry. She stood quietly in a corner and did not say anything else. When the elevator stopped on the first floor, Nan Fei walked out of the elevator and turned around obediently. She waved her hand at Zuo Qishen, who was supposed to be heading to the parking lot on the lower floor, and said, Commander Zuo, Im leaving. Goodbye. This time, Zuo Qishen did not even give a snort. He closed the elevator door expressionlessly. The moment the elevator door closed, Nan Fei saw his taut jaw line and his lips pursed into a straight line. Nan Fei sighed in her heart. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This new neighbor of hers is really more difficult to serve than the emperor. He had such a bad temper early in the morning. Shaking her head, Nan Fei gripped the SLR camera hanging around her neck tightly and walked out of the corridor. The silver Maybach stopped at the corner of the residential area, in the shadow of the dense branches. Zuo Qishen sat in the main drivers seat, his fingers resting on the steering wheel. He looked at the slender and tall girl not far away who had her head lowered and her fingers swiping on the phone screen, as if she was calling for a taxi. She was dressed casually today. She wore a light pink hoodie on the top half of her body and a light gray pleated skirt on the bottom half. At the end of her long, straight legs was a pair of small white shoes. She was carrying a white backpack, and a camera was hanging around her neck. Her hair was tied with a silver hair band, which seemed to be of good quality and very beautiful. Zuo Qishens hands, which were resting on the steering wheel, tightened slightly. Thinking about the people she was going to meet, the irritation that had lasted from last night to today increased even more. He lit a cigarette and opened the window. The ash fell on the knuckles of his fingers, gray and messy. When the cigarette was about to burn out, he saw the girl get into a car. His eyes darkened. He put out the cigarette and stepped on the accelerator to follow her. Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the Art Gallery, due to the school booking, not many people came today. They were all costume design students from the same department. As Nan Fei rarely went to class, and because her beautiful face was easily envied, she did not have any particularly close classmates in the class. Hence, she walked around alone, holding a camera. Her hair was tied up high, and her pleated skirt swayed with her gentle steps. She was soon attracted by the famous painting in the middle of the exhibition hall. In the painting, dozens of sunflowers were in vases. Some bloomed recklessly, and some were dying. Bright yellow and brown colours were intertwined. Desire, passion, and doomsday-like despair blended seamlessly in one painting. Nan Fei stopped in front of the painting. She raised her head and stared at it for a long time, her eyes moving slightly. She heard the sound of inspiration whizzing through the air. She decided that this was the tone of her costume design! I guessed that you like this tone,a deep voice that seemed to be very far away was heard. So I specially asked someone to ship this painting from M Country. Do you like it, Nan Nan? The familiar yet unfamiliar voice spoke at a moderate speed, just like the owner of the voice, forever elegant. Nan Fei was shocked. The fingers that were holding the camera gradually tightened, and it was as if an ant had crawled over her heart. She slowly turned around. The man was wearing a suit and pants and was looking hot. His figure was tall and slender, and his handsome brows and eyes carried a natural indifference. I like it. She looked at him directly and smiled faintly. Senior, or brother-in-law? Cheng Shichus lips curled into a not-so-deep smile. Weve only broken up for less than half a year. You calling me brother-in-law really makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Nan Fei pursed her lips as if she was thinking for a while. Then, she smiled. Alright then, senior. Ill use the term brother-in-law on the day you marry Meng Ge Ya. Cheng Shichu raised his eyebrows slightly. The smile on his face faded a little beside his perfectly shaped thin lips. Compared to her, Im more willing to marry you. Nan Fei shook her head. No, you would rather marry the Nan and Meng families. The girls face was as beautiful and bright as ever, but there was a faint lack of interest on her face. It was as if something was gnawing at her heart. Cheng Shichu paused and said indifferently, If I wasnt a member of the Cheng family, I wouldnt have broken up with you. Being born in the illustrious Cheng family, there was naturally a price to pay for being illustrious. His father was cruel. He always believed that only by killing each others siblings could one temper ones character and become a king. Only then could the Cheng family continue to be glorious. Therefore, he and Cheng Liangmu had been used to fighting and killing since they were young. Their goal in life was to obtain the ownership of the Cheng family. Being together with Meng Ge Ya was his fathers idea. His father had taken a liking to this second young miss who had the power of both the Nan and Meng families and could bring endless benefits to the Cheng family. If he wanted to take over the Cheng family, he could not refuse. Nan Fei was startled. She lowered her eyes, and her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow. Each life had its own difficulties. She understood Cheng Shichus meaning. However, there was actually nothing to be sorry about. Nan Fei raised her head and lifted her lips. She smiled slightly as she looked at his handsome and noble face. If you werent a member of the Cheng family, I wouldnt have been together with you in the first place. Cheng Shichus eyes darkened. His usually calm face was in a mess. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, Thats true. We agreed at that time that we were only a couple in name. You lived alone outside and need the protection of the Cheng family and I needed your grandfathers support. Finally, he lowered his voice and slowly added, But, after acting for a year and a half, I almost forgot that it was just a show. During the six months he had been with Meng Ge Ya, he would occasionally think of Nan Fei. He felt that if his father had not stopped him from dating this girl, it would have been something worth looking forward to. At least life would not be as dull as it was now. Nan Fei lazily narrowed her eyes. Brother, dont be serious. If youre serious, youll lose. There was a moment of silence. Cheng Shichu lowered his eyes and hid the unreadable expression in his eyes. He knocked on the wall with the painting hanging on it and said, How about I give you this painting? The corners of Nan Feis eyes curved as she lifted her chin in a certain direction. Are you sure you want to give me something in front of her? Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cheng Shichu tilted his head and looked into the distance. A dignified woman with a noble temperament was walking over with a standard socialite smile on her face. Cheng Shichus eyes were indifferent, but there was still a smile on his lips, revealing the usual indifference of a nobleman. Shichu, sister. Meng Ge Ya stood by Cheng Shichus side and faced Nan Fei with a magnanimous and sensible manner. What are you guys talking about? Catching up on old times. Nan Fei curled her lips and said casually. Resentment flashed across Meng Ge Yas eyes. Catching up on old times? Were the things between them lovers not over yet? She looked at Cheng Shichu with some grievance. Cheng Shichu did not seem to notice her gaze. He did not say anything and leaned against the wall. His slender and fair fingers knocked on the wall casually. His joints and bones were distinct. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a figure not far away. It was a standard military posture. One could feel the cold and hard aura from a few meters away. Cheng Shichus fingers that were tapping on the wall paused. His face darkened slightly, and there seemed to be a cold and dark color seeping out of his eyes. Zuo Qishen walked to Nan Feis side expressionlessly. He did not say anything. He just looked at her coldly, and a chill surrounded his body. Nan Fei first saw the familiar pair of military boots under her feet. Then, she slowly raised her head. As expected, she saw Zuo Qishens handsome face, which was three feet deep in ice. C-Commander Zuo. She was so scared that she stuttered. Why are you here? Did he not go downstairs to get his car this morning with a sullen face? Moreover, he was still wearing his military uniform, as if he had just come out of the military district. Take me to the art gallery, huh? The man did not answer her question, but only said in a low voice. Nan Fei hugged the camera in front of her chest tightly, suddenly feeling a little scared and strange. This man had looked down on her in the morning, and now he was like this.. Zuo Qishen saw that she was not moving, and his eyes turned cold. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, Do you still want to learn how to shoot? Nan Fei immediately grabbed his arm. Lets go, Ill take you! Cheng Shichu looked at the slender and white fingers of the woman on the military shirt, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. When the woman turned around, he suddenly said, Nan Fei, how about the four of us together? Meng Ge Ya looked at Cheng Shichu in disbelief. The mans side profile was as handsome as ever, but the words he said were like sharp blades, slicing her heart. He called Nan Fei by her nickname and wanted to hang out with her. He really could not forget Nan Fei. Meng Ge Ya bit her lower lip hard. Nan Feis hand that was gripping Zuo Qishens sleeve could clearly feel the displeasure emanating from the mans muscles. Commander Zuo was as cold as a Tibetan mastiff, so he definitely did not like hanging out with unfamiliar people. Hence, she smiled at Cheng Shichu and shook her head slightly. No, no. She thought for a moment, and when Zuo Qishen was not paying attention, she quietly mouthed to Cheng Shichu. This is an old master. Cheng Shichu saw her lips clearly and smiled warmly. Nan Fei then turned around. When she turned around, her movements were a little hurried, so her silver hair band rose up and drew a beautiful arc in the air. Cheng Shichu caught a glimpse of the hair band and was slightly startled. Then, he smiled and said, seemingly unintentionally, The hair band is very beautiful. Zuo Qishens eyes were cold. Waves rose from the bottom of Meng Ge Yas eyes. Her five fingers gradually bent inwards, and her nails pierced deeply into her palm, as if there was a sticky feeling seeping out. She knew this hair band. It was one of the gifts Cheng Shichu gave Nan Fei. Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Commander Zuo, this painting is a famous artist from the Renaissance The woman beside him seemed to be focused on helping him explain every famous painting or sculpture in the art gallery. On the side of her fair face, her hair hung down and was tied up with a hair band, revealing her delicate and small ears. Zuo Qishen listened and watched casually, but his mind was full of the interaction between her and Cheng Shichu. His narrow phoenix eyes were cold. He knew that it might be his own heart that was being pricked, but he still came here in a shameless manner. This morning, he followed her car halfway and suddenly felt bored, so he turned around and went back to the military district. After smoking a few cigarettes, he fiercely put out the cigarette butt. Then, he picked up the car keys on the table, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in the direction of the art gallery. On the way, he thought darkly that no matter what happened between Nan Fei and Cheng Shichu in the past, he would cut off all those things that were connected to each other. Cheng Shichu was a thorn in his heart. It was only two weeks after Nan Fei had lost contact with him at the front line that she had immediately found a new home. Zuo Qishens eyes were slightly closed as his gaze swept past the exquisite silver hair band in the middle of her high ponytail. He did not hesitate to raise his hand. When he waved his sleeve, his slender fingertip pulled lightly and pulled out the silver bow. His black hair was completely scattered. He saw the surprised eyes of the woman who had turned her head. He quietly wrapped the hair band around his index finger. He exerted force, and the sound of the hair band breaking shook the eardrums of both of them. Nan Fei stared blankly at the hair band that had been torn into two by the mans fingertip. The soft touch by her ear made her feel that the long hair that she had originally tied had long fallen to the ground. I broke your hair band. Zuo Qishen stated the truth calmly. There was no apology in his tone. Ill pay for it. The man threw the broken hair band into the trash can. The moment it fell into the trash can, Nan Fei suddenly remembered something. This hair band seemed to have been given to her by Cheng Shichu. She had been a little absent-minded when she had left the house this morning, so she had casually taken a hair band from the drawer. She had not expected that she would actually take this hair band. This hair band was tied to the back of her head. She could not see it either, so she had not noticed it all along. When she saw the mans cold face in front of her, and when she thought of the chill he had felt when he had suddenly appeared behind her and Cheng Shichu, Nan Fei furrowed her brows slightly. Should she be thinking about something else? Dont you like seeing me wearing this hair band, Commander Zuo? Nan Fei curled her lips into a bright and sweet smile. Zuo Qishen looked at her with a mocking smile on his face. Dont tell me Im not showing it clearly. Nan Fei tucked her long hair behind her ear and her expression became a little lighter. Commander Zuo, sometimes I feel that youre quite strange. Zuo Qishen looked deeply at the womans face that had suddenly calmed down. His gaze was deep. Nan Fei raised her eyes and looked straight at him with a pair of clear black and white eyes. From the first time we met, youve always had an inexplicable anger toward me from time to time. Commander Zuo, have I offended you before? The womans tone was very calm, and she did not have any intention of accusing him. Zuo Qishens eyes were half-closed, and his expression was unfathomable. Nan Fei Zuo Qishen said after a long while, his voice very faint, Sometimes anger is not anger, but possessiveness. He raised his hand, and his rough fingers touched her chin for the first time. His eyes seemed to hold a bottomless pool of water. If Im not wrong, that hair band is related to your ex-boyfriend? Nan Feis pupils suddenly constricted, and the strange touch on her chin made her shudder ambiguously. The first day I saw you, I, a 24-year-old man in high spirits, endured the drug and didnt touch you. I put on clothes for you and helped you smash things to send you home. The next day, I found an excuse for you to come to the headquarters to find me and teach you how to shoot. Last night, I moved downstairs to your house, and today, I followed you to the art gallery. His fingers repeatedly caressed the womans small and delicate jaw. The thick cocoon rested on her delicate skin, giving off a gentle and rough feeling. His voice was low and slightly hoarse. He said, Nan Fei, youre so smart, so shouldnt you feel something? Nan Fei lowered her eyes. Light and shadow intertwined, reflecting her somewhat pale face. Nan Fei, youre very beautiful. Zuo Qishen lowered his head slightly and moved closer to her. He could feel her somewhat chaotic aura. Beautiful women easily attract mens possessiveness, do you understand? Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Nan Feis eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a few hoarse syllables rolled out of her throat. So you like me? Zuo Qishen touched her pretty little face deeply. Its normal for people to lust after women. Nan Feis red lips gradually pursed up, and her expression was a little complicated. She did not expect that what Mu Mian said to her last night would actually come true today. What did she say back then? What if he really likes you? Then well see when the time comes. When the time comes, her procrastination would really cause people to die. If she had seriously thought of a countermeasure yesterday, she would not have been so passive today. After a moment of silence, Nan Fei slowly raised her head and looked at the handsome and cold face of the man in front of her. Commander Zuo, youre also very tall and handsome. Her voice had already returned to its sweet tone, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips. Moreover, if you dont throw tantrums, I quite like getting along with you. Her expression seemed to have become more languid, and she asked indifferently, I wonder what kind of relationship Commander Zuo wants us to have? Her posture seemed to be negotiating. She was calm and rational. Her pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes carried the usual smile and amiable indulgence, but there was no love in them. Not a single bit. Zuo Qishens eyes darkened. The finger that was originally holding her chin slowly withdrew. Closing his eyes, Zuo Qishen said calmly, Ill accompany you to buy a hair band first. If I break yours, Ill have to pay for it. The corners of Nan Feis lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes. Okay. Nan Fei returned home, carrying a large bag filled with all kinds of exquisite hair band packaging. She walked into the room, removed her bag and SLR camera, and threw the bag on the floor. Sitting on the sofa, she groaned weakly. She placed her arms over her eyes and covered her eyes. What was going on today? It was supposed to be a study session, but it turned out to be the most emotional game of the year. The ex-boyfriend and ex-boyfriends current girlfriend, plus a military commander who had known her for three days and had clearly started taking a liking to her. With these three people together and her, it would be enough to make a 24-episode rape and abuse series. She sighed and remembered the last sentence that Zuo Qishen said to her when they got on the elevator together. Nan Fei, I like you. You know what to do, right? When he said this, he looked at the bag full of gift boxes in her hands, and she almost understood. He liked her, so she had to be prepared to bear his possessiveness. However, so be it. She was single now anyway, so she did not mind being flirted with by such a handsome and manly little brother. She knew in her heart that Zuo Qishens possessiveness had nothing to do with love. They had only known each other for three days. It was too ridiculous to talk about love. Just lets get along for a while. As for the rest, let nature take its course. Well talk about it later. Feeling that she had almost thought things through, Nan Fei hopped up from the sofa, touched Crown Princes chin, who was lying on the carpet, and walked to the desk to get her sketchbook. She could not lose the inspiration that she had finally found today. She was going to start working on her personal portfolio! Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After drawing the design draft for the whole afternoon, Nan Fei leaned back on the chair and rubbed her sore eyes. Unknowingly, the room was already pitch black. Only the table lamp on her desk was lit up, and the night sky outside the window was filled with stars. Looking at the clock, it was already seven oclock in the evening. Only then did Nan Fei remember that she and Crown Prince had not eaten dinner. A certain ball of white on the carpet was very calm. After taking a glance at her, it laid down again. Nan Fei shook her head. This Tibetan mastiff was really cold and aloof. Even when it was hungry, it did not bother to make a sound. It really did not seem like it was raised by a girl like her who could be flexible and straightforward. She went to the kitchen to make a random bowl of salad and cut some chicken breast meat for Crown Prince. After the man and the dog finished eating, Nan Fei took Crown Prince out for a walk as usual. Crown Princes steps were still very elegant and noble, and his eyes were very king-like and disdainful. Nan Fei, on the other hand, had a faint smile on her face out of habit. She walked beside Crown Prince and looked at the delicate wildflowers under the streetlights from time to time. She was in a good mood. Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind blow past her. When she looked in that direction, she found that Crown Prince had already turned into a white lightning bolt and was running toward a certain place. When she looked in the direction where Crown Prince was running to, her heart skipped a beat. In her eyes, the man who had sent her back this afternoon and said that he liked her in the elevator stood quietly by the streetlight about fifty meters away. Under the dim yellow light, he was wearing a dark shirt, his long legs were wrapped in his hot suit pants, and his eyes were as cold as ever. He seemed to have seen her a long time ago, and his gaze was deep as he looked straight in her direction. There seemed to be a deep sea in his eyes. Nan Fei was not shy at all. She curved her lips and smiled as she walked toward him unhurriedly. Commander Zuo, good evening. Zuo Qishen looked deeply at the girl who stood in front of him with a natural expression, and his eyes darkened slightly. She had a big heart. She did not take what he had said to her this morning seriously at all. She sat still, enjoyed the flowers, and took a walk. Everything was as usual. She was afraid that something like being teased by a man to the point of feeling uneasy and having butterflies in her stomach would never happen to her. He really could not do anything to her. After a pause, he finally nodded and said, Out for a walk? Nan Fei nodded. After two seconds, she shook her head and said, Walk the dog. If it were not for Crown Princes physical and mental health, she would not have come out for a walk. It would be more comfortable to draw designs or watch movies at home. Zuo Qishens gaze indifferently swept across the huge white dog that was surrounding his German shepherd dog and wagging its tail vigorously. Is this yours? Nan Fei looked at the ground and realized that the usually aloof Crown Prince was actually walking around a dog and wagging his tail. She immediately had mixed feelings. Hes not like this normally Nan Fei pursed her lips and explained, Maybe its because its spring and hes on heat. Zuo Qishen raised his eyebrows slightly and did not comment. Nan Fei slapped Crown Princes head and said, What are you doing?! Brother, this is the first time weve met. Be more reserved! Crown Prince glanced at her coldly and continued to walk around the German shepherd dog. Nan Feis dignity as a master was destroyed, but she was already used to it, so even if Zuo Qishen was standing next to her, she was still very calm. Commander Zuo, is this yours? She asked. If Crown Prince really took a fancy to this German shepherd dog, she might have to go to Zuo Qishens house to propose marriage Hence, she had to build a good relationship in advance.
