My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 291 It's Okay To Lose To Me (3)

“Uncle Henry. Let’s go.” Jingyan said. And Henry’s train of thoughts was interrupted. He got back intothe car and found the other three kids had already fallen asleep. He started the car and said in a lowvoice: “Did you see the way that girl walked away? She was almost beaten to death but she still looksso energetic.”

Jingyan looked at Henry in surprise. “Uncle Zhang, you are so observant!” He said.

“Pingan, you can’t always trust what you see. Sometimes people are just forcing smiles on their faces,and there are always traps behind their smiles.” Henry said.

Jingyan said: “Don’t worry, Uncle Zhang. I don’t care about her at all. How can I possibly fall into hertrap?”

Henry looked at Jingyan and said: “Good. You are so much smarter than your father.”

Jingyan laughed heartily. He said: “My father will be angry if he knows what you said.”

“It’s okay. Your mother will be on my side on this matter.”

“You are right.” Jingyan said. He then leaned against the back of the seat and closed his eyes. He alsonoticed that girl was not acting normal, but he wasn’t worried. He wouldn’t even remember that girl bytomorrow, because there is another girl who has a very special position in his heart.

They finally arrived at home. Kerry and Venus were already sleeping. The servants took them to theirrooms and put them to bed.

......

It was a military camp hidden in the mountains. After a military drill, a woman walked back to the camp.She was dressed in a camouflage uniform and a pair of leather shoes. Her hair was rather short.

When she got back, she found her soldiers were all squatting on the ground with their head drooped,as if they were a bunch of prisoners. She lifted her belt up and hit one of them playfully and said: “Whatthe hell are you doing? Is your head too heavy to be lifted?”

The man who got hit said in a sorrowful voice: “Madam, we brought shame on you.”

“Yes, you did. If you can’t do better next time, I will send all of you back to your original troops.”

These soldiers all stood up and shouted in unison: “Don’t worry! We will do it better next time!”

The woman walked to a soldier whose arm was dislocated. She asked: “Does it hurt?”

The soldier grinned. “It’s not that bad.” He said.

“I heard you have found a girlfriend. Is she beautiful?” The woman changed the subject.

Suddenly, the soldier gave out a high-pitched scream. Turned out, the woman moved his shoulder backto its original position when he was not paying attention. The man complained: “Madam, you should tellme before you do it. So that I can be prepared.”

The woman patted on his shoulder and said: “Does it still hurt?”

The soldier moved his shoulder and said excitedly: “It’s cured! Madam, you are even better than thearmy doctor!”

“Thank you. Practice makes perfect.” She said. She then looked at the others and said: “Tonight we aregoing to have a celebration. Get yourselves cleaned up. We lost a few men in the drill, but our enemysuffered a much worse lose. So it’s still worth celebrating. And, Mr Six, tell the chief to make moredishes for tonight.”

“No problem!”

“Thank you, Madam!” These muscular men shouted in unison.

The woman then put on a serious expression and said: “Don’t get yourselves drunk!”

“No problem!” These men were all surprised. Because the information they got from what she said wasthat they are allowed to drink alcohol.

At night, the celebration was held. The soldiers were drinking and playing with great gusto. The womangrabbed a bottle of beer and walked outside the camp. She looked at the moon, and remembered thetwo years she had spent in Africa. She remembered how the people in Africa were struggling inextreme poverty. And now she had come back for two years and she finally realized the importance ofher job. As a soldier, it is her responsibility to make the people live a peaceful life. She must maintainthe peace in her country, whatever the cost may be.

At that time, a familiar figure walked towards her. He has rugged features, and he has a pair of hawk’seyes. But he wore a very disappointed expression, because he lost in the military drill that day.

“Why are you out here?” The man sat beside her.

“Look how beautiful the moon is.” The woman responded.

“You are very satisfied, aren’t you.” The man snatched the bottle from her and took a big gulp.

“Of course I am. Everybody is having a very good time.”novelbin

The man could hear the soldiers laughing heartily in the camp. He wiped his mouth and said: “Well,that’s life. There are always wins and loses. Next time, I will absolutely win against you.”

The woman patted on his shoulder and said: “Don’t feel bad. You lost to me. That’s not a shamefulthing.”

“You are right. Everybody knows your name. You are basically invincible in this army and even ourcommander once lost to you. But I don’t understand. You are so talented. Why don’t you get a cushyjob? Why do you come here?”

The woman stared at the moon. Her features are soft but her expression was fierce. She said: “I havealways been an aggressive woman. I hate to live an easy and peaceful life. That kind of life just doesn’tsuit me very well. And also, I want to train my squad into an invincible squad. I want my enemy toshudder with fear when they hear the name of my squad. That is my dream when I first joined themilitary.”

“I think you have already achieved your dream. Everyone is now very proud of your team.”

“No. It’s not enough. There is still so much to learn.” The woman said.

The man looked at her. She is indeed an aggressive woman. He thought.

“Forget it. You won this time. And you will be given five days’ vacation. What’s your plan for yourvacation?” The man asked.

The woman leaned back and rested her head on her palms. She crossed her legs and said lazily: “Ihave no plan. I’m going nowhere.”

“Aren’t you going back home?”

“No. I met my father before the drill. He is absolutely going to ask me about this drill if I go back. I don’twant to talk about it.”

The man then suggested: “Maybe you should go for a travel. See your friends. Go shopping. Buy somebeautiful clothes. You are a very young girl. You can’t spend all your time in this camp!”

The woman smiled bitterly. “I am working in the military. What’s the point of buying fancy clothes.”

“But still, you can’t waste these five days here. Do you have a boyfriend? How can you find a boyfriendif you spend all your time here?”

“Boyfriend? “The woman laughed heartily. “I have been in the troop for so long and now I just don’tthink about these issues.”

“Then you must cherish this vacation and leave this camp. Maybe you will find someone you like. Ourcommander is so worried about you. He thinks you will become an old maid.”

The woman nudged the man with her elbow and said: “You think no man wants to get married with me?I am so beautiful. I don’t need to worry about that.”

The man smiled. “You are right. Every man in our troop wants you to be his wife.”

“That’s not possible. Only half of them want me to marry them.” The woman said smilingly. She lookedat the moon. And suddenly, she remembered someone from childhood. She remembered she told thatperson that she would go back and find him when she grows up. Then she decided to go back to SkyCity during this vacation and visit that man. He was still a small boy the last time she saw him, and shewondered what had become of that boy.

Then, the woman jumped up and dusted her trousers.

“Where are you going?” The man asked.

“I’m going back to sleep.” The woman waved at him.

The man looked after her as she disappeared from his view. “Sleep? At this hour? Nonsense.” He saidto himself.

The woman went back to her dorm. She opened a drawer and took out a little box. Inside the box wasa little jade pendant. A Bodhisattva was curved on the front side of the pendant, and on the back sidewas curved a name: Jingyan Ye.

The woman holding the pendant is none other than Yiyao Duan. She is the leader of a special forcessquad of C Army.
