The Spoilt Wife’s Happy Life with the Commander

Chapter 73: Disheartened

Views:

Lin Qing frowned and took off the pair of high heels that Mu Li gave her.

Only inappropriate shoes can cause sprains.

Lin Qing was in low spirits and tried hard to get rid of the words Chen Qudong said from his head.

But the more I want to get rid of it, the more my heart hurts.

She stroked her heart and breathed hard.

Standing up, Lin Qing put her weight on her left foot. She wanted to find the medicine box and apply the medicine quickly.

However, she forgot where the medicine box was.

Usually, Mu Li uses it when needed.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing scratched his hair in annoyance.

So she took out some ice cubes from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel, and applied them to her ankles.

Even through the thick towel, Lin Qing could feel the biting cold of the ice.

My ankle hurts, but it's not as bad as the pain in my heart.

Because he was barefoot, Lin Qing slipped and fell to the ground without paying attention.

The hard marble made her whole body ache.

Leaning against the side of the refrigerator, she finally calmed down.

Ice cubes were scattered all over the floor, and the towel was still half-covered on her ankles. She just sat there quietly with her legs curled up.

like a statue.

She didn't believe that Mu Li would be so cruel as to deceive her.

Moreover, it was with her best friend.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qing retrieved his phone in a daze and dialed Mu Li's number again.

This time, after ringing more than ten times, the call was finally connected.

Mu Li coughed lightly on the phone: "I'm very busy now, I'll call you later, okay?"

His tone didn't sound busy at all.

Lin Qing's heart sank, and he bent the corners of his mouth with all his strength: "Mu Li... where are you now?"

Mu Li thought her question was strange and said, "Silly, of course I am in the army."

Lin Qing's smile froze there.

Hearing that Lin Qing didn't say anything else, Mu Li asked again: "Do you miss me?"

There is no difference in tone from before.

Lin Qing, who was holding the phone, could even imagine him raising his eyebrows on the other end of the phone.

Perhaps, he was nodding with a smile on his face.

But Lin Qing felt a churning in his stomach and was just feeling bored.

"Lin Qing?" Mu Li seemed a little anxious as he couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

Lin Qing smiled gently: "I'm a little tired, you go and get busy. I'll contact you when you're free."

Mu Li agreed: "Don't work too hard. Wait for me."

The corners of Lin Qing's mouth turned up, but there was no trace of a smile anymore.

Is he really in the army

Lin Qing thought of Chen Qudong’s words again—how long have you known each other, has he really fallen in love with you

Maybe Chen Qudong is right.

As she thought about this, the sadness in her heart suddenly dissipated a little.

Then the company called.

"Lin Qing, Xu Yuan is on a business trip, but the company can't contact her now. I heard that you have a good relationship, so you can try to contact her. Once you get in touch with her, ask her to call the company back immediately." The supervisor said all in one breath on the other end of the phone, looking very anxious.

Lin Qing responded unconsciously.

By the time she realized what was happening, the call was already over.

Xu Yuan, can’t get in touch with me

Lin Qing held the heavy phone in his hand and awkwardly searched for Xu Yuan's phone number.

After dialing the number, she stared at the screen in a daze.

Soon, Xu Yuan answered the call.

"Hello?" The call time started counting down on the screen and someone spoke on the other end.

Lin Qing slowly put the phone close to her ear, her voice a little cold: "Xu Yuan, the company called me and said they couldn't contact you. Please call your supervisor back later."

Probably not expecting it to be about this matter, Xu Yuan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble. Maybe there is a problem with the signal on my side. The network is sometimes good and sometimes bad."

Lin Qing had no intention of listening to these explanations. "Where are you?"

"Me?" Xu Yuan seemed to be evasive, and paused before saying, "I'm still on a business trip."

On business trip

Lin Qing wanted to ask, "Are you really on a business trip?", but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back.

"Oh, which city are you in? If it's on your way, I want you to bring something back." She changed the subject.

The reason for asking this is that the company's business trip points are just a few, and Lin Qing can count them with his fingers.

Xu Yuan seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I'm in City B, discussing business with a client."

"Is that so?" Lin Qing smiled, "Forget it then. The things I want to buy are somewhere else."

Xu Yuan asked, "What do you want? I'll go buy it for you."

Lin Qing interrupted her calmly: "Forget it. I probably can't buy back what I want."

After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xu Yuan, are you in City B

Lin Qing was already disheartened.

She leaned there weakly, feeling a chill on her back.

Coincidentally, Mu Li is also in City B.

But, is this... really a coincidence

When Shan Rong came to the door, Lin Qing had not yet gotten up.

When she heard the doorbell downstairs, she was going to ignore it.

But then the cell phone started ringing.

"Miss, please come down and open the door for me!" Shan Rong said in a coquettish tone.

Obviously trying to liven up the atmosphere.

But this trick had no effect on Lin Qing. She said coldly, "Don't you know the password? Just come in by yourself."

After saying that, she hung up the phone rudely.

Shan Rong, who was standing outside, looked depressed and stared at the gate for a long time.

He knew the password.

But it’s not a good idea to just barge in, right

So he just stood at the door and waited.

Half an hour later, Lin Qing finally showed mercy and opened the door for him.

"Are you lying to me again?" Lin Qing asked in a direct manner, and it turned out that he had not forgotten what happened last time.

Shan Rong smiled apologetically: "What happened last time... I was wrong, I apologize to you."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qing again, only to see that Lin Qing looked listless, and his hair was a little messy, having been casually tidied up.

Lin Qing's expression was extremely bad.

"What's wrong with you?" Shan Rong put away his dandy look and asked immediately.

Lin Qing didn't care at all and pointed to the living room: "Go sit down, I'll make you a glass of mango juice."

Shan Rong's face darkened.

He grabbed Lin Qing's wrist and looked at her haggard face carefully: "Instead of drinking mango juice, you should take care of yourself first."

Lin Qing shook him off helplessly: "Why are you talking so much today?"

Shan Rong frowned: "I, Shan Rong, have been nosy for a long time."

Lin Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, Shan Rong and the term "meddling in other people's business" are actually not related at all.

The reason he came this time was entirely because of Mu Li's instructions.

During his previous conversation with Lin Qing, Mu Li always felt that something was wrong with her.

So he asked Shan Rong to come and take a look at the situation.

Unexpectedly, what Shan Rong saw was this lifeless Lin Qing.

If I tell Mu Li, I don’t know what will happen.

Shan Rong exhaled, stretched out his long legs and sat on the sofa, patting the seat beside him: "If you have any troubles, come, the free psychological counseling experts are here."

Lin Qing glanced at him: "Who asked you to come?"

"Can't I just come here by myself?" Shan Rong said innocently.

Lin Qing would not be fooled.

Seeing this, Shan Rongcai slowly crossed his legs again and turned the car keys around on his fingers a few times: "Your husband asked me to come and see if you are obedient."

Shan Rong's words were a bit exaggerated, but they were also meant to be a joke.

However, this sentence made Lin Qing angry.

Could it be that she is the disobedient person

Could it be her who was dating someone else outside but sent people here to monitor me

Lin Qing's face turned even paler, and her lips trembled: "If there is nothing else, please go back."

This cold tone is completely different from the Lin Qing of the past.

Shan Rong had already seen some of it.

He put the key in his pocket: "Did you have a fight with Mu Li?"

Lin Qing was unwilling to answer.

Shan Rong thought that he was probably right, so he asked again, "Did he do something wrong?"

Lin Qing said nothing.

It seems he guessed right again.

Shan Rong was about to ask again, but heard Lin Qing say, "Don't ask anymore."

Shan Rong stopped talking.

Although Lin Qing tried her best to hide it, the pain in her heart could not be concealed in her eyes.

Moreover, it was most likely discovered by Shan Rong.

If it were in the past, he would never care about these trivial matters.

But when he caught a glimpse of Lin Qing's lifeless eyes, he was overwhelmed with sympathy.

"I'll teach that guy a lesson for you."

Shan Rong is about to leave.

"Hey... where are you going?" Lin Qing finally showed some emotion and hurriedly tried to stop Shan Rong.

"Go find Mu Li, have a cup of tea and chat." Shan Rong shrugged.

Lin Qing hurriedly said: "Don't go look for him... I'm fine."

What she said was very false.

Shan Rong simply couldn't bear to watch it.

"I'm really fine." Seeing that Shan Rong was not giving up, Lin Qing said, "You can go back. I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest."

What an obvious excuse.

Of course Shan Rong didn't believe a word of it.

But seeing that Lin Qing was so persistent, he had no choice but to give up.

In short, today's task was half completed, and Shan Rong went back first under Lin Qing's urging.

Before leaving, Shan Rong said, "If you run into any trouble, feel free to come find me."

Lin Qing nodded heavily and said seriously: "Thank you, I'm really fine."

Shan Rong didn't know whether it was because he believed her too easily or because he didn't believe her at all, but he always felt something blocking his heart.

Later he thought that if he had meddled in other people's business a little more at that time, perhaps there would be peace in the world.

But it's too late to regret.

After Shan Rong left, Lin Qing sat alone in front of the window.

She stared out the window in a trance, seeing tall buildings and endless scenery.

But where is the scenery that belongs to her

She laughed and shook her head.

Because it was not treated properly, Lin Qing's ankle became even more swollen.

She hadn't paid attention to it because she was in a bad mood just now, but now the pain was unbearable.

However, not long after, Shan Rong came back.

Lin Qing opened the door and was stunned: "You, why..."

Before he finished speaking, Shan Rong held the thing in his hand in front of Lin Qing: "You are so stupid, this is the first time I have seen you."

Lin Qing looked at what was in his hand and saw a bottle of anti-swelling spray.

"How do you know?" she was very confused.

Shan Rong's mouth twitched, and he pointed at her ankle: "How can I not see it when it's so swollen?"

Lin Qing looked down and realized that he hadn't noticed it before, but it had become swollen to a scary level.

Shan Rong threw the spray to her, looked at her again, and thought to himself that Mu Li's way of looking at women was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

To Shan Rong, he treated Lin Qing as an ignorant little sister.

Sometimes it's a bit irritating, but also pure.

Lin Qing seemed to have sensed it as well, so he didn't say much and obediently took the bottle of spray.

"Three times a day." Shan Rong gave instructions and this time he really left.

Three days later, Mu Li returned from the army.

He didn't tell Lin Qing before going home because he wanted to give her a surprise.

However, when he entered the house, he found no one at home.

"Lin Qing?" He shouted into the empty living room.

No one responded.
