Chapter 398 Cold Attitude
Chapter 398 Cold Attitude
"What are you yelling about? Keep your voice down, it's not good if someone hears you. You're a grown man, can't you be a little more sensible?"
Hearing her shout "So bright!", Mu Xingchen immediately got up from the tree trunk.
They adopted the posture of an "elder" educating a "younger generation".
"That's just how I am! If you don't like it, keep it to yourself, don't say it out loud!"
As he spoke, Leng stood up from the withered tree trunk.
She met his gaze with a very sharp look.
The way they were fighting like needles pointing at wheat awns looked like they were about to get into a fight!
Just as the two were locked in a standoff, Qi Lin emerged from a military tent a few dozen meters away.
He walked over to the bonfire.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Qi Lin is a super sniper in the Super Soldier Squad, with exceptional eyesight and hearing. She heard their conversation clearly.
They just didn't show it directly, pretending not to hear it.
"fine"
Seeing his wife approach, Mu Xingchen decisively withdrew his unpleasant glare at Xiang Leng and sat back down on the tree trunk.
"..."
Leng was in a bad mood, so she didn't talk to Qilin and bent down to sit on the tree trunk.
Of course, she didn't sit right next to Mu Xingchen; she just sat on the very edge of the tree trunk.
Most of the space in the middle was left to Qilin.
Qi Lin didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight over to sit on the tree trunk between the two of them.
"Xiao Chen, I've poured you some water. Go wash up, it'll get cold soon."
"Okay, sure."
Upon hearing his wife speak, Mu Xingchen immediately got up from the tree trunk and walked towards the tent not far away.
Seeing him leave with just a few words from Qi Lin made Leng Xin even more unhappy.
Because that guy really listens to Qilin!
The stark contrast between her attitude towards Leng and Qilin left Leng feeling extremely resentful.
Even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn't show it at that moment.
After all, her relationship with Qilin had just improved, and she couldn't really go back to the way things were before.
"Are you still planning to persist?"
Seeing Leng sitting there without saying a word, Qilin asked a question.
Her tone was calm, and she didn't seem angry that Leng wanted to have sex with her man.
"hold head high"
Leng wasn't stupid; she knew what Qilin was asking.
But she really didn't expect Qilin to ask her this so directly.
This caught Leng off guard.
"Is it really him who's the only one for you?"
Qi Lin turned her face away and looked at Leng beside her.
"Um"
He made a snap decision and admitted to it.
"..."
Qi Lin hadn't expected Leng to admit it so readily, which left her somewhat at a loss for words.
I can only turn my face to the front and not look at someone.
Leng didn't say anything more; her brain was racing.
Because she needed to think about how to "deal with" Qilin later.
A few minutes later, Qilin looked away from the flickering campfire.
He glanced at Leng.
"Didn't you say you were willing to wait for him for a thousand years? You even said you could wait until I die of old age before being with him. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"..."
When Qi Lin asked her that question, Leng didn't know what to say.
The main point is that these words did indeed come from her mouth.
Although she was just making things up to gain Boqilin's favor at the time. [Her attempt to use a feigned retreat to advance failed.]
But now that Qilin has brought it up, she's at a loss for what to do.
"Hmm? Speak up."
Seeing that she remained silent, Qi Lin urged her to speak.
"I've changed my mind. I can't wait that long."
Urged on by Qi Lin, Leng simply gave up and gave up.
They had a completely "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude.
"..."
Honestly, Qi Lin never expected Leng to admit it so openly.
How thick-skinned do you have to be to talk back to yourself?
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Qi Lin finally spoke again.
"What if I disagree?"
"Then I'll just cling to him relentlessly. I'm shameless, and I'm not afraid of what you'll say."
Leng is truly reckless now, even saying things like that!
It can only be said that she truly "sacrificed" a lot for her love.
"..."
Qi Lin was shocked by Leng's words, and the surprised expression remained on her face for a long time.
This angel is really shameless!
How can a woman so openly admit to being shameless?
What kind of values does she have?!
OMG!
This is outrageous!
Leng Chaoqi glanced over and saw that "she" was stunned by her.
I don't know what it feels like to be cold-hearted.
She didn't say anything, but wondered if Qilin would become hostile or even hate her again because of her persistent pestering.
Seeing Leng secretly glancing at her, Qi Lin snapped out of her shock.
After composing herself, she couldn't help but ask again.
"You said last time that you angels also practice monogamy. Now you want to take care of a man at the same time as me. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Leng immediately became extremely alert.
Because she felt that Qi Lin's tone didn't seem particularly repulsive or averse to her.
She felt that Qi Lin didn't seem to have any grudge or hostility towards her just because she was unwilling to let go.
She saw this as an opportunity to clearly express her "firm" stance to Qilin!
So she said it again in that same do-nothing attitude.
"There's nothing I can do about feeling uncomfortable; I can only get used to it slowly. What can I do when I like him?"
"..."
Qi Lin was speechless at the cold response.
She realized that this angel was determined to become her man's mistress.
She really doesn't know what to do right now.
Should she start cursing the angel (benefactor) who saved her?
But she just made it clear that she's shameless, so it seems pointless for her to curse "her" anymore.
She could no longer morally persuade this shameless angel to back down.
If she tries to control her husband, even if he doesn't secretly have an affair with this cold-hearted woman behind her back.
Then it's definitely a certainty that he's having an emotional affair.
In the past six months, she has also noticed that her husband's attitude towards that cold woman is very different from before.
Especially after "she" took a knife for her and she took care of "her" for more than ten days.
She clearly felt that he and "she" were talking much more.
She wasn't sure whether she should stop him from communicating with "her".
After all, she had just been saved by that angel, and she didn't want to interfere too much.
Now he and "she" can talk about almost anything.
For example, just now when she was washing up, didn't Leng tell him to work hard for "her"?
It was as if he had promised "her" this before.
She was now certain that her man was having an affair.
But she didn't know what to do.
Should we stop her husband from contacting that angel?
Should I make a huge scene with him about this?
If she really does that, will he secretly distance himself from her (resent her) in his heart?
She didn't want to gamble, and she didn't dare to gamble.
After all, his heart is not entirely with her now.
But she didn't want to do anything with him.
She's been with him for over two years, how could she just break up with him like that?
Even if he's emotionally unfaithful and no longer devoted to her, she can't bring herself to divorce him.
She had never even thought of it that way.
Is she really going to turn a blind eye and condone her husband's affair with that Leng behind her back?
No, she felt that was wrong; she couldn't stand the feeling of being cuckolded.
Should we let that angel in?
Is she openly and honestly with her man?
No, that won't do either. Every time she thinks about having to share her husband with another woman, Qilin finds it unacceptable.
In particular, she couldn't accept the unbearable image of two women sharing one husband.
So she really doesn't know what to do now.
It seems that no matter what she does, there is no perfect solution to this problem.
This really bothered her.
Seeing that Qilin hadn't spoken for a long time, Leng didn't say anything more either.
She didn't look at Qilin, but instead focused her gaze on the flickering campfire.
After a while, Qilin got up from the dead tree trunk and walked towards the tent.
Leng didn't stop her; he simply watched her leave.
At the same time, she was also wondering if Qilin had been angered by her.
After all, she had finally managed to reconcile with Qi Lin, and she really didn't want to anger "her".
Back in the tent, Qi Lin saw Mu Xingchen brushing his teeth, but she didn't disturb him.
They simply lowered the curtains on both sides of the doorway and tied them up with rope.
After closing the "door," Qi Lin used the micro-wormhole to retract her lightweight dark alloy armor.
She revealed her black leather outfit, which resembled that of a secret agent. [Posted during my time at Super God Academy]
Qilin unzipped her leather jacket, loosened the restraints on her chest, and walked straight to the folding bed on the left to sit down.
After that, she quietly watched him wash up on the shelf on the other side of the "door".
Mu Xingchen quickly finished brushing his teeth. After wiping the toothpaste off his mouth, he turned his head and glanced at Qi Lin.
Seeing her sullen and unhappy face, he immediately sensed that something was seriously wrong.
Because he had just overheard Leng talking to his wife. [His ability to sense wind greatly enhanced his hearing.]
He knew his wife was probably angered by his cold and shameless attitude.
He didn't dare to provoke Qilin at this time.
So he quickly turned his face to the side and poured all the water from the basin into an empty oil drum.
Then I went to organize the toiletries such as towels, toothbrushes, and tooth cups.
After tidying up everything, Mu Xingchen glanced at Qi Lin again.
Seeing that she was still staring at him with a gloomy face, Mu Xingchen knew that he couldn't avoid it today.
He walked over to the folding bed on the right.
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
As he spoke, Mu Xingchen walked over to the folding bed on the right and sat down.
It wasn't that he didn't want to sit with Qi Lin, but he noticed that Qi Lin's expression was off.
He didn't dare get too close to her!
Therefore, he could only sit on his bed, separated from Qi Lin by a distance of "Chu River".
What's your opinion on cold?
Finally, Qi Lin spoke up.
However, her complexion, which had been shrouded in gloom, did not regain its brightness.
Because that guy really had the intention of having an affair!
She certainly wouldn't be very friendly to him.
"What do you mean, how do you see it?"
Suddenly being stared at and "questioned" by Qi Lin, Mu Xingchen was a little afraid to look his wife in the eye.
"It's basically asking if you want to bring her into the family."
Seeing his evasive gaze, Qi Lin's look at him became even sharper.
It was as if they were examining a criminal.
"That's not up to me; it's mainly up to you. I'll listen to you."
Faced with this dilemma, Mu Xingchen decisively returned the problem to the person who raised it.
After all, he really couldn't give that answer.
If he said he wanted to, wouldn't Qilin never let him off the hook?
Just like last time, she complained to him quite a bit! [That was when she kept asking about the time she fell into his arms.]
If he says he doesn't want to, what if Qi Lin goes along with him and makes him cut off contact with Leng?
Therefore, he absolutely cannot answer this kind of question!
"..."
Qi Lin was very dissatisfied with the guy's repetitive remarks.
Even his eyes couldn't help but squint.
She knew he was deliberately throwing the problem back at her, and it wasn't about respecting her opinion at all.
If he truly puts her first in everything, how could he possibly get so close to that angel?
How could someone possibly have the idea of having a concubine while simultaneously pursuing two relationships?
Therefore, his evasive reply really annoyed Qi Lin.
After thinking for seven or eight seconds, Qi Lin finally spoke.
"You want to listen to me? Fine, then you'd better give up on that idea now, I don't agree."
Qi Lin said those words in a defiant (commanding) tone.
Even though she knew he couldn't really listen to her, she just wanted to see what he would do.
I want to see just how far he's willing to go for that angel.
"Honey, don't be angry. You two seem to be getting along really well lately, so why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"
Upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Mu Xingchen immediately felt a jolt.
He knew she was saying it out of anger, but he also knew she was speaking from the heart (the truth).
So at this point, he could only change the subject and stop responding to Qi Lin's words.
Didn't you say you'd listen to me?
Seeing his reaction, Qi Lin squinted and asked him a question.
She was clearly displeased with his attempt to change the subject.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, alright?"
Mu Xingchen noticed that Qi Lin's tone was off, so he quickly changed his tone and went along with her.
The most important thing is to keep her calm and prevent her from getting angry.
This is abroad, and he doesn't want to make a big fuss about his family affairs and become a laughing stock for outsiders.
He's a major general now, after all; he has to save face.
"..."
Hearing his helpless tone, Qi Lin felt even more unhappy.
She knew he was just placating her, or rather, deceiving her.
There's no way he could so easily give up on the idea of doing something with that angel.
He's obviously just making excuses for her!
Seeing that Qi Lin remained silent, Mu Xingchen also used a micro wormhole to retract the dark alloy armor on his body.
After taking off the black leather jacket with the Super Soldier Company badge, he planned to lie down and rest.
But before he could lie down, Qi Lin spoke again.
"What? You're upset because I said something to you? Are you taking it out on me?"
"No, why would I get angry with you? Don't overthink it. It's already past ten o'clock, go to sleep. Maybe Haschi and the others will try to break through tomorrow. They might even make a move tonight. Take some time to rest and don't let your mind wander."
Despite being falsely accused by his wife, Mu Xingchen did not argue with her.
He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
