Chapter 31 I'll be your support
Li Weiguo and the bodyguard standing next to Liang Yi exchanged a glance.

They're not deaf; how could they not have heard what Zheng Tianyou said?
Not only did Liang Yi want to hit him, they all clenched their fists and wanted to punch him.

But Zheng Tianyou was brought here by Liang Yi. If anything were to happen to him here, Liang Yi would not escape this calamity.

To put it bluntly, Liang Yi could very well lose everything because of this.

Even though they knew Liang Yi was angry, they still had to stop him.

Zheng Tianyou curled up on the ground like a dead dog, covering his blood-soaked mouth.

Li Weiguo and his guards held Liang Yi's arms tightly until they sensed that Liang Yi's emotions were gradually calming down, and then they let go.

Liang Yi's chest heaved violently a few times before he slammed his fist on the table.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the crimson in his eyes had faded, leaving only a coldness.

Li Weiguo and his guards breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their commander had regained his senses.

But a sense of unease settled in his heart; this side of Liang Yi was even more chilling than when he was in a fit of rage.

Liang Yi looked down at Zheng Tianyou on the ground, his eyes devoid of any warmth, as if he were looking at a piece of dirty trash.

"Zheng Tianyou violated the camp rules."

Liang Yi's voice was eerily calm, yet every word was icy: "Find a place to 'settle' him, but don't dirty my place. Not even a fly is allowed to fly in to see him without my permission."

"Yes!"

The guards immediately obeyed and took Zheng Tianyou away without any hesitation.

Zheng Tianyou wanted to say something, but when he met Liang Yi's emotionless eyes, he couldn't utter any words of pleading.

Liang Yi would never let him go...

After dealing with Zheng Tianyou, Liang Yi stood there without leaving immediately.

He looked down at the back of his hand, where there was a little blood on his knuckles.

That was left behind when I beat up Zheng Tianyou earlier.

He frowned almost imperceptibly, not from pain, but from the bloodstains.

Liang Yi took out a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped each of his fingers until his knuckles turned white, as if he wanted to wipe away all the dirty traces related to Zheng Tianyou.

"You should all go back and get some rest."

After doing all this, he casually tossed the blood-stained handkerchief onto the table and walked toward the family compound.

I pushed open the door to my home, and the living room was quiet.

Anmin was neither busy in the kitchen as usual, nor was she reading in the living room.

Liang Yi's heart sank, and his gaze swept quickly across the room.

Finally, he saw her in the bedroom.

Anmin sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), with a book beside her.

She lowered her head slightly, making it impossible to see her expression, and clasped her hands tightly in front of her.

Her slender body was taut and straight, with a stubbornness that seemed to be holding on, yet also revealing an indescribable fragility.

Liang Yi walked over quietly, his tall figure casting a shadow in front of her.

Anmin was startled, but did not look up.

“Zheng Tianyou…”

Liang Yi didn't speak immediately, but simply reached out and gently covered her hands, which were clasped tightly in front of her, with a soothing gesture.

His hands were large, his palms warm and rough, calloused from years of holding a gun, yet he gently enveloped her cold, stiff fingers.

“Zheng Tianyou told me everything.”

Anmin's fingers jerked sharply in his palm, like a startled little animal.

Liang Yi's voice was deep and hoarse, no longer the oppressive one he had when facing Zheng Tianyou, but a warm and magnetic one.

"We agreed to be open with each other, so why are you still hiding things from me and not telling me the truth?"

He could feel that the small hands in his palm were still cold, and even trembling slightly.

Liang Yi gently wrapped her cold hand completely in his warm palm, his thumb gently stroking her tense hand back with a soothing force.

An Min finally slowly raised her head.

Her eyes were red, but no tears came.

"What did he say? Shouldn't it be the same as what I said?"

Liang Yi felt a sharp pang of sadness as he listened to An Min's seemingly nonchalant words.

To be honest, he wasn't indifferent when he first saw An Min. It's just that he's always said harsh things and never says anything nice, otherwise he wouldn't have driven her away.

If he really had no feelings for Anmin, he wouldn't have felt upset when he saw her going on blind dates with other people.

Now that he knows An Min's past, Liang Yi feels even worse.

How could he have said those outrageous things to Anmin back then?

Liang Yi raised his other hand and gently brushed his fingertips across the corner of her slightly reddened eyes.

The movements were as gentle as if touching a rare treasure.

The delicate touch from his fingertips brought his heartache to its peak.

Liang Yi thought he was really clumsy and didn't even know how to say comforting words.

"never mind."

"Liang Yi, I don't want you to pity me."

Anmin's pride wouldn't allow her to receive sympathy and pity.

She didn't say it harshly, but she was very serious.

Liang Yi understood. He leaned forward slightly and gently pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her forehead.

"Anmin, listen carefully."

"From now on, wherever I, Liang Yi, am, that will be your home."

"As long as I, Liang Yi, live, no one can bully you."

"I am your source of confidence."

"Live however you want. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

"What sympathy or lack thereof? You're my wife, protecting you is something I have to do."

It wasn't sweet talk, but a resounding declaration.

It was the strongest shield and the most magnificent promise that a tough soldier gave to his beloved.

An Min looked into Liang Yi's eyes and nodded gently.

"Thank you, Liang Yi."

Liang Yi hummed in agreement and sat down next to An Min.

“I will absolutely not let Zheng Tianyou get away with what he did. As for those three people in Haicheng, I will give them a warning.”

He still held Anmin's hand and didn't let go, and Anmin didn't pull away either, but simply said, "I just want to know one thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Liang Yi turned to look at An Min, waiting for her to finish speaking.

"Will dealing with Zheng Tianyou affect you?"

After all, Liang Yi's status is what it is; he's not some ordinary citizen.

What he is about to do is, to a large extent, about many things.

An Min didn't want to implicate Liang Yi because of her.

She would feel very guilty.

From the very beginning, An Min's only thought was to obtain a stable life by relying on Liang Yi.

But Liang Yi reciprocated with a sincere heart.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; how could sincerity not move people?

However, due to the trauma she experienced in her past life, Anmin was unable to open her heart to Liang Yi.

Anmin felt very sorry for them because of this.

"What impact could it have? In your eyes, what kind of lawbreaker am I?"

Hearing An Min's concerned words, Liang Yi finally felt a little better.

“The things Zheng Tianyou did can all be verified, and the charges against him are not something I made up.”

"Doesn't he know that what he did could land him in jail?"

Liang Yi's question made An Min take a deep breath. She looked down at their clasped hands and said something.

"Because something attracted him more than he anticipated the consequences."

Let me give you a kiss, just for you, my dear reader. (Wait, I think I'm the author...)
