She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 60 I Miss Her

Liu Jingyi listened to his words with great confusion.

She didn't understand why Chen Xingjie, who had disappeared for many years, would suddenly reappear.

If Liu Jingyi hadn't transmigrated, she might have actually believed him.

After all, she knew that Chen Xingjie had once been in love with the original owner of this body.

Moreover, every time Liu Jingyi met Chen Xingjie, her body inexplicably became uncontrollable, which she couldn't understand.

But regardless of the reason, Liu Jingyi didn't really want to get too close to the man in front of her.

Chen Xingjie didn't know how to explain to Liu Jingyi, and he didn't want to scare her.

In his eyes, Liu Jingyi was still the same as when she was a child—timid and short-tempered.

If you say anything too harsh, she definitely won't like it.

But if you try to teach her how to do things, she'll definitely do the opposite and go against you.

After all, he has been gone for so many years, and has been without her for so many years.

It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to treat her like she was when she was a child.

He needs to take it slow and proceed step by step; he can't scare away his little white rabbit.

"No, Xingjie, you're overthinking it. It's just that we haven't seen each other for so many years, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." Liu Jingyi shook her head.

Chen Xingjie did not press her further, but simply nodded slightly.

He actually knew that Liu Jingyi was looking for Meng Yunfan.

But based on his understanding of Meng Yunfan, he was not afraid.

Leng Yunting was an exception; he never expected that he could tolerate all her shortcomings.

Moreover, he was a soldier, and he knew that there was no possibility for him and her.

Chen Xingjie has left, gone far away.

But Liu Jingyi's final fate was something he never expected.

"Yiyi, is he good to you?"

Liu Jingyi didn't know why he asked that, and nodded, "He's very good to me."

"And what about you? Do you like him?"

"Like it!"

"What about Meng Yunfan?"

Liu Jingyi looked up at Chen Xingjie in surprise, wondering why he asked that question.

"Of course I don't like her, otherwise I wouldn't have married Yun Ting, right?" Liu Jingyi said playfully.

Chen Xingjie said with a smile, "That's true!"

"Yiyi!"

Liu Jingyi felt a chill run down her spine. "Hmm?"

"Brother Xingjie is so happy for you."

Chen Xingjie spoke calmly, burying his possessiveness and jealousy towards her deep in his heart.

……

Meanwhile, Leng Yunting had already arrived in Y Province, where the sounds of gunfire could be heard everywhere.

Upon arrival, they went straight to the battlefield, and after a day and a night, they finally got a short rest.

It's still very hot in Y province right now, and at night there are so many mosquitoes.

The soldiers couldn't sleep at all because of the noise, and that wasn't the only reason.

Perhaps there was also nervousness, excitement, and a vague sense of fear.

Even soldiers would worry in this life-or-death situation.

Leng Yunting sat beside the haystack, showing no signs of sleepiness.

He held the safety amulet that Liu Jingyi had given him in his hand; he missed her.

I wonder how she is now, whether she's eating on time, and whether she's thinking about him.

Leng Yunting carefully put the safety buckle back into his chest pocket and took out her photo.

He touched her photo, looked at her sweet smile, and his heart and eyes were filled with her.

Fu Jiexuan, watching from the side, couldn't help but speak up.
"Have you seen enough? It's only been a few days, is it really that big of a deal?"

Leng Yunting put away the photos and stared at him coldly, "What do you know, you're a woman without a wife?"

"Tch." Fu Jiexuan really didn't know what was so good about Liu Jingyi; besides being pretty, she was nothing special.

"Brother Ting, what's so great about her?"

"I just like it."

Leng Yunting couldn't really explain it either; in fact, Liu Jingyi could say that nothing about it was good.

But he just plunged headlong into it; he just loved it.

He turned to look at Fu Jiexuan, "How is your fiancée?"

“I don’t have a fiancée,” Fu Jiexuan said.

"Didn't Uncle Fu have an engagement with the Li family a long time ago?" Leng Yunting looked at him in surprise.

"She doesn't want to marry into the Li family; she's found true love," Fu Jiexuan said calmly.

He claims he's found true love and wants to call off the engagement, but he's not being pathetic.

The Fu and Li families broke off the engagement long ago, as if the matter had never happened.

However, Leng Yunting was busy with Liu Jingyi's matter at the time, so he didn't say anything, since it wasn't exactly a glorious thing.

Fu Jiexuan's family was actually quite anxious, but he, on the other hand, wasn't worried at all.

Fu Jiexuan didn't want to continue the topic and instead asked, "Brother Ting, have you settled things with your wife yet?"

Leng Yunting nodded. "Your sister-in-law is a child of the Ji family."

"What?" Fu Jiexuan was startled by Leng Yunting's words.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

"You still have the nerve to say that? I asked you to investigate before, but you didn't find anything. You haven't made any progress over the years. I'm ashamed of you."

Leng Yunting glanced at him and said, "Shut up."

Fu Jiexuan then realized his mistake and fell silent.

"I only found out recently, and I don't know the specifics yet."

Fu Jiexuan didn't ask any more questions; he was still processing what he was going to say.

Leng Yunting looked up at the starry sky and thought, what if he really died?

His parents, his brothers, and the other brothers who grew up in the compound would not mistreat her.

Ji Yu already knew her identity, so naturally he would treat her even worse.

Leng Yunting had ulterior motives before; at the very least, he wanted them to watch over her and remain a widow for him for three years.

It seems now that the young wife belongs to the Ji family. If he were gone, Ji Yu would probably have already found her a new husband long ago.

Leng Yunting got angry.

Leng Yunting didn't sleep well that night, half-asleep, feeling like she wasn't his anymore.

In the blink of an eye, Leng Yunting has been gone for more than half a month.

Liu Jingyi never saw Chen Xingjie again after that first meeting.

She lived her life in a very orderly manner; she tidied up her study and changed all the curtains in the house.

The house is bright and beautiful. When I have free time, I embroider, drink tea, and read books in the yard.

This simple life has a unique poetic charm.

Liu Jingyi's leisurely lifestyle contrasted sharply with that of the other women in the compound.

When the military wives get together every day, they start to worry about their husbands.

It's not like we haven't heard any news over these past few days.

One after another, phone calls reporting injuries and deaths reached the ears of the families.

This caused those who didn't receive the call to suddenly feel weak in the knees and fall ill.

Of course, there was also good news.

Even though they had driven the enemy back to their stronghold, the atmosphere in the compound remained tense.

After all, they still didn't know whether their men were alive or dead.

After calculating the time, Liu Jingyi stopped taking on embroidery jobs.

Because in the book, Leng Yunting was injured around this time.

Even knowing he would come back alive, she couldn't help but worry.

After all, the story has already deviated from the plot of the book. She didn't dare to think about what might happen if her arrival caused things to go differently from the original story.
