The love story of a wealthy family amid anti-fraud storm at the border

It was a week later that Yi Chen woke up.

Ye Qiuyun took it upon himself to take him out of South Africa and back to the Datuk organization base on the border.

Because the command center did not issue an order to retreat, Ye Qiuyun temporarily hid at the border in the identity of the Datuk's adopted daughter.

Now, she is a person who can call the shots on the border.

She felt that Captain Chen could no longer stay in South Africa, as Gu Chenxin's betrayal was unexpected to them.

The safest way is to return to the border.

"Captain Chen, I made the decision on my own this time. Please forgive me. I think you must leave. It's really not a suitable place to stay."

Ye Qiuyun took the risk of being blamed by Yi Chen and looked at Yi Chen with sincerity and a bit of worry.

Yi Chen rubbed his head which was still a little swollen and painful. The injuries on his body had mostly healed.

He slowly sat up, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. There was helplessness towards Ye Qiuyun's unauthorized decision, but more importantly, he was touched by his subordinate's thoughtfulness.

He sighed softly and said, "Thanks to you, I know you are doing this for my own good. This situation is indeed beyond my expectations."

Speaking of this, Yi Chen couldn't help but frown. What he was more worried about at the moment was Ling Yue.

I wonder if her eyesight has returned? If she wakes up, will she blame me for leaving without saying goodbye again?

After hearing what Yi Chen said, Ye Qiuyun finally felt relieved, but looking at his current expression, it seemed that he still had many ties and concerns in his heart.

"Captain Chen, don't dwell on that. Your mission is over, and it's time to let go of the past. Let's make a long-term plan after you've recovered from your injuries."

Yi Chen nodded slightly, but facing Ye Qiuyun's deep affection, Yi Chen still deliberately avoided it.

"Please report the details of this operation to the command center as soon as possible. I will also ask my superiors if there are any other actions I need to carry out."

"Why, Captain Chen, you want to leave here?"

Seeing that Yi Chen did not reply to her, Ye Qiuyun was afraid that he would be in danger again.

She excitedly stood in front of Yi Chen and said, "No, I saved you, you can't go there."

"We are all soldiers. Our mission is above everything else. I have long put life and death aside." Yi Chen emphasized this to Ye Qiuyun, not wanting to leave her with any thoughts.

I was afraid that she would be like Gu Chenxin, bound by emotional obsession.

"But why would you disregard everything for Ling Yue? At that time, your life was no longer a life?"

Ye Qiuyun's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

She stared at Yi Chen intently, as if trying to see the answer from his face.

Yi Chen was speechless for a moment after being questioned by Ye Qiuyun, and a deep sense of guilt flashed across his face.

He turned his head away, avoiding Ye Qiuyun's fiery and aggrieved gaze. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"My loved ones and comrades are equally important to me. You are all like my family, and for you, I am like my own family too!"

Listening to what Yi Chen said, Ye Qiuyun was moved and deeply hurt at the same time.

For the first time, her tears welled up uncontrollably. "After all these years of life and death, are you really unable to see my feelings for you? In your heart, am I just a comrade?"

"I thought I understood you and you understood me, but it seems I was wrong." Facing Ye Qiuyun's confession, Yi Chen once again seriously and decisively rejected her.

When Ye Qiuyun heard Yi Chen's decisive words, she felt as if struck by lightning. Her body swayed slightly, as if the strength supporting her was instantly drained away from her body.

She bit her lip, trying not to cry too much.

But this time, she couldn't stop her tears, and they fell drop by drop...

She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand, Captain Chen. I will keep your teachings in mind and fulfill my mission."

Ye Qiuyun's voice was filled with endless bitterness and self-mockery.

She slowly took a few steps back, deliberately keeping some distance between herself and Yi Chen, as if she wanted to distance herself from the love in her heart as well.

When Yi Chen saw Ye Qiuyun like this, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but he felt that any words would be so pale and powerless at this moment. He could only look at Ye Qiuyun silently.

Ye Qiuyun took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, trying hard to maintain her last bit of dignity.

Her eyes gradually grew colder. "I will follow your instructions and report the situation of this operation to the command center. I will also cooperate as always, just like a true comrade."

After saying that, Ye Qiuyun turned around and walked quickly towards the door. Her back revealed a sense of loneliness and final stubbornness. Every step she took seemed to step on Yi Chen's heart, making his guilt even stronger.

Yi Chen looked at her back as she walked away, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He knew that this time, he really hurt Ye Qiuyun's heart.

But Yichen firmly believes that love cannot be forced, and the best solution is to break it off when necessary.

As soldiers, they are caught in this complex and dangerous situation. What should they do in the future? Everything has become even more confusing.

Only when Ye Qiuyun's figure completely disappeared from his sight did Yi Chen seem to come back to his senses and sighed heavily.

He sat on the edge of the bed, Ling Yue's appearance appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of worry and longing.

He took out the blood-stained silk scarf and the wisteria flower token left by Ling Yue from his pocket and gently rubbed them in his hands.

It was as if Ling Yue's aura was still faintly lingering on it, as if she was by his side.

Yichen's eyes became softer and full of tenderness, he murmured to himself:

"Yuer, are you okay now? Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye." As he spoke, his voice was choked with sadness, and his appearance was truly heartbreaking.

All his affection in this life is left to Ling Yue, and no one else!
