A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Liu Jing’s Unwillingness

”You... you stop talking nonsense.” Lin Qiu said softly, feeling overwhelmed by Fu Cheng’s fiery gaze!

No one had ever chosen her so resolutely before, and Lin Qiu felt a bit panicked. Liu Qiang had never said anything to her that made her blush; he only constantly belittled her, telling her she had to be obedient, as it was what she owed the Liu Family.

”I will prove it.” Fu Cheng looked deeply at Lin Qiu and said nothing more.

He would prove with action that he wanted no one but her.

After dinner, as Lin Qiu was about to clear the dishes, Fu Cheng grabbed the dishes from her hands to wash them first.

Fu Xiaoxiao was arranged to sit in the courtyard, with snacks specially placed around her. All she had to do was sit there and munch on sunflower seeds.

Lu Feng ordered Lu Chen to keep an eye on her and prohibited her from doing any chores, telling him to wait until he came back if there was anything.

”Understood.” Lu Chen saluted, sitting sternly in front of Fu Xiaoxiao, watching her.

”Little cunning imp.” Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, pulling Lin Qiu to sit down.

Lu Feng took Fu Cheng out. Fu Cheng’s abilities had already been acknowledged by higher-ups; he was specially recruited to enlist, and Lu Feng personally took him to arrange his accommodations.

Looking at the dormitory shared with several soldiers, Fu Cheng frowned and refused.

”I don’t want this kind; I want the kind you have.”

Fu Cheng wanted to bring Lin Qiu to live with him like how Lu Feng lived.

”You dream well. For a house like Lu Tuan’s, you need contributions to have the qualifications to live in it, understand?” Hearing Fu Cheng’s audacious demand for a suite like Lu Feng’s, the fellow soldiers laughed in anger.

They mocked his overestimation of himself.

Fu Cheng’s eyes turned fierce, and Lu Feng pulled him aside. ”If you want to give Lin Qiu a good life, you mustn’t fight in the army, mustn’t cause trouble, and work hard for achievements.”

The moment Lin Qiu was mentioned, Fu Cheng’s rage instantly subsided. He was someone who wanted to care for a wife, not cause trouble.

”When will you give me a mission?” Fu Cheng looked at Lu Feng; he wanted to go out and earn achievements now.

”Train diligently first, and I will arrange it.” Lu Feng had already understood Fu Cheng’s characteristics, and indeed, there was a better use for him.

Used properly, he was the sharpest bayonet, incomparably sharp.

”Alright.” Seeing Lu Feng nod, Fu Cheng settled down according to his nature.

Now, everything seemed good, but everything he had was still under inspection.

After settling Fu Cheng, Lu Feng went to Liu Hongjun’s office.

”The person is already under interrogation and has confessed.” Seeing Lu Feng appear in his office, Liu Hongjun knew without thinking that he was there to inquire about progress, giving him a glance and speaking indifferently.

”Release him.” Lu Feng said calmly.

Liu Hongjun was surprised, looking up at Lu Feng, his eyes stern. ”Do not act recklessly!”

”He bullied my wife.” Malice flashed across Lu Feng’s eyes, staring straight into Liu Hongjun’s.

”He will face due punishment.” Liu Hongjun stated seriously.

”Such people will never admit their mistakes.” Lu Feng sneered. As for people like Old Li, even if they were locked up, it would only be a few days. For him, it would be painless and without any lesson learned.

”He can’t withstand a punch from you! Don’t gamble your future recklessly.” Liu Hongjun pressed his lips, insisting he wouldn’t let Lu Feng act rashly.

”I know my limits.” Lu Feng said to Liu Hongjun seriously.

”Didn’t you say she was just a female comrade invited to look after the kids? Didn’t you say there were no feelings?” Liu Hongjun rolled his eyes at Lu Feng. Initially, that’s what he said, and now, not much time has passed, yet he is ready to risk his future for her?

”...” Lu Feng pursed his lips, and Fu Xiaoxiao’s smiling face flashed in his mind.

Her smile, her gentleness, her kindness—it wasn’t just Lu Lin and Lu Chen; he could feel it too.

He couldn’t just see her as an ordinary female comrade. He didn’t understand, but he knew that the moment she got hurt, he was angry enough to want to kill Old Li.

”Assign all the tasks to Fu Cheng lately; he is fully capable of completing reconnaissance tasks.” Lu Feng suggested to Liu Hongjun.

”If all the tasks are given to him, what will you do?” Liu Hongjun asked with furrowed brows.

”Xiaoxiao’s arm is injured, and I need to stay home to take care of her.” As soon as Lu Feng spoke, Liu Hongjun couldn’t refuse.

”His skills are on par with yours, but are you sure he can complete the reconnaissance tasks without being discovered by the enemy?” Liu Hongjun had seen the competition between the two, which made all the soldiers stop underestimating them. A man who could run as fast as Lu Feng couldn’t be just an ordinary soldier.

”For reconnaissance, he’s lived in the mountains and forests for a long time; his ability to conceal himself surpasses mine.” Lu Feng knew that in this aspect, he wasn’t as good as Fu Cheng.

With years of living in the wild, Fu Cheng definitely had the right to claim the top in stealth.

”Alright, I’ll give him a chance to try.” Liu Hongjun nodded in agreement.

”By the way, we investigated Fu Cheng’s background; he wasn’t born in the mountains but was abandoned there and adopted by a hunter couple. After the couple encountered an incident, only he was left.” Liu Hongjun informed Lu Feng of the investigation results.

Hearing that Fu Cheng, like him, was abandoned, Lu Feng’s eyes turned dark, with a faint gleam flashing.

”Understood.” After Lu Feng finished speaking, he turned to walk out.

”Let’s have dinner together in a few days!” Liu Hongjun shouted to his back. ”Xiao Jing is not here; I’ve already sent her home.”

”Let’s wait until Xiaoxiao’s hand heals.” Hearing this, Lu Feng finally turned back but didn’t agree.

Watching Lu Feng’s departing figure, Liu Hongjun sighed.

However, regarding finally getting Fu Cheng under his wing, Liu Hongjun’s lips curled up, curious about what surprises this newcomer might bring him.

Returning home, Liu Hongjun saw the people in the living room, and his brows furrowed tightly once more.

”Xiao Jing, why are you still home? Didn’t I have someone send you back?” Liu Hongjun looked at his wife, Aunt Liu, who just shook her head helplessly.

She really had no way with this niece of hers.

Everything was packed, tickets bought, yet she was uncooperative and refused to go home.

”Uncle, I’m not going back; I want to marry a man more capable than Lu Feng; you promised to help me.” Liu Jing looked at Liu Hongjun, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Lu Feng, a man who didn’t appreciate her, spoke as if she was nothing. She must find a man stronger than him, making him regret it.

”...Where am I supposed to find someone more capable than him?” Liu Hongjun also felt a headache. Back then, he just said that to humor her, but she took it seriously, pestering him for an introduction.

”To be looked down upon by him like this, if I go back, I can’t swallow this injustice!” Liu Jing crossed her arms, refusing to communicate.

”Xiao Jing, when you return to the compound, won’t you find all sorts of guys there? Why fixate on Lu Feng? His temper’s foul, and he lacks gentleness and thoughtfulness, not at all a suitable husband candidate.” Aunt Liu gently patted Liu Jing, trying to persuade her.
