"It’s all that damned man’s fault! Why did he have to arrange for you to protect so Miss Feng?"
"If it weren’t for him, you never would have ended up like this!"
"Anyway, I’m not done with him over this!" Wei Zixuan touched Xu Da’s face, her voice filled with heartfelt distress.
"Cousin..."
"This has nothing to do with my brother-in-law," Xu Da said, his voice weak.
"The mission was actually over. I was the one who wanted to keep protecting her."
"I... I like..."
As he finished, a rare, deep embarrassnt washed over him.
"What did you just say?"
"You like Miss Feng?" Wei Zixuan was taken aback, her face a mask of confusion.
"You ended up like this because of her, so why do you still like her?"
"What kind of love potion did you and your brother-in-law drink? Why are you both so taken with a woman like that?"
Wei Zixuan felt a surge of anger and couldn’t help but grind her teeth. She truly couldn’t understand what was so special about Feng Yueyue to make both her cousin and her husband so fond of her.
"Cousin..."
"You’re wronging my brother-in-law. He’s never done anything to let you down. Miss Feng confessed to him once, but he rejected her without a second thought," Xu Da said with a faint smile.
"Do you know... how my brother-in-law rejected her?"
As he spoke, he deliberately put on an extrely serious expression, perfectly mimicking Chen Zheng’s deanor at the ti.
"’I... love my wife very much!’"
"’When you truly love soone, you don’t need them to do anything special for you. And I would never abandon her just because a better option ca along!’"
After he finished, he chuckled. "Pretty impactful, right?"
But the exaggerated smile pulled at his wound, and his face imdiately contorted in pain.
"Serves you right..."
"That’s what you get for fooling around with !" Wei Zixuan rolled her eyes, then fell silent for a mont before asking again.
"Is that... Is that really what your brother-in-law said at the ti?"
"Cousin, would I lie to you?"
"Your misunderstanding of my brother-in-law runs too deep. He rejected Feng Yueyue without hesitation, so you can imagine how he’d treat any other won."
"I can see it clearly. You’re the only one in his heart," Xu Da said with absolute confidence.
At this, he seed to recall sothing else and sighed heavily. "Do you rember what happened on the roof of the Yuan Corporation building?"
"The situation was critical. My brother-in-law only said those things to provoke you because he was trying to buy precious ti."
"When the bomb finally exploded, he did everything he could, even risking his own life, to shield us. He was the one who ended up seriously injured!"
"He was protecting you with his life!" Seizing the opportunity, Xu Da explained everything that had happened back then.
"You’re saying..."
"He... he was injured back then?" Wei Zixuan felt her heart tremble uncontrollably.
In her mind, Chen Zheng seed invincible. How could he have been injured so easily?
"Cousin, every word I’m saying is true. Even now, my brother-in-law still coughs up blood sotis..."
"Xu Da, you just woke up and you’re already spouting nonsense to your cousin?" Just then, Chen Zheng walked in from outside, carrying a bag of fruit.
"Your head must have been injured pretty badly..."
As he spoke, he subtly shook his head, signaling for Xu Da to stop. He did this because he didn’t want Wei Zixuan to keep worrying.
"Brother-in-law..." Xu Da chuckled sheepishly.
"Enough. You need to rest and heal quietly, so stop with these ridiculous jokes," Wei Zixuan huffed, lightly patting Xu Da. She then turned her head toward Chen Zheng. "Co outside with ."
As Wei Zixuan turned her back, Xu Da shot Chen Zheng a mischievous, encouraging gesture.
Chen Zheng, however, could only sigh helplessly as he followed Wei Zixuan out of the hospital room.
"Your injuries..." The mont they stepped outside, Wei Zixuan couldn’t stop herself from asking.
Although her expression remained stern, her concern was palpable.
Chen Zheng imdiately reached out and took her hand. "As long as you’re not angry with , my injuries will heal in no ti!"
"Get away from ..."
"Don’t even think about taking advantage of the situation!" Wei Zixuan’s face flushed slightly as she quickly pulled her hand back.
"Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you sohow bribed Xu Da to say all those things. There’s still a lot you haven’t explained to ," Wei Zixuan huffed.
"Are you still jealous of those other won?" Chen Zheng asked, looking sowhat puzzled.
"You don’t actually believe the problem between us is because of those won, do you?" Wei Zixuan let out a soft, self-deprecating laugh.
"Chen Zheng..."
"I’m just an ordinary woman who wants a stable marriage. You are my husband, that’s true, but a lot of the ti, you make feel like I’m with a complete stranger."
"You told from the very beginning that you were a veteran, but all sorts of dangerous things are always happening around you!"
"And you go to such lengths to hide things from , never telling the whole truth!"
As she spoke, Wei Zixuan grew more agitated, and her expression quickly beca downcast.
The most important thing for a couple is mutual honesty. There shouldn’t be any secrets. That’s the only way a relationship can last.
Yet she knew next to nothing about her husband. She was clueless about what tomorrow might bring or what dangers they might face. This left her feeling helpless and anxious, and over ti, it completely eroded her sense of security.
In Wei Zixuan’s view, this was the crux of a marriage, and it was precisely what they were missing.
If they were truly going to make it, they needed to open their hearts and talk honestly.
Chen Zheng had to be the one to take the initiative, but he seed to have no intention of ever revealing his past.
This deeply upset her. She felt that Chen Zheng didn’t truly have her in his heart, which was why he wouldn’t hesitate to act this way.
This was the fundantal difference in how n and won saw things. In truth, it’s often the small details that matter most.
Hearing all this, Chen Zheng finally understood. So these were the things his wife was concerned about.
His body trembled slightly as he imdiately pulled Zi Xuan into his arms, holding her tight.
"I didn’t tell you so many things because I was afraid you’d worry, and because I needed to protect you," Chen Zheng sighed deeply.
