Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 653

Shen Ao let go of Bai Ying, held Bai Ying's arms tightly with both hands, and looked at her carefully. While he was sure that Bai Ying was fine, this question also emerged in his mind.

"this......"

Bai Ying didn't know how to start, especially since Pei Zhenggang was right next to her. Telling the truth would only arouse suspicion.

After thinking for a while, Bai Ying only told part of the truth, "It was my second brother who brought me out."

Seeing that Bai Ying was hiding something, Shen Ao didn't ask any more questions and let out a breath, "Well, I'm glad you're okay."

"Boss, you're awake!"

Seeing that the young couple had finally finished reminiscing about the past, Pei Zhenggang, who was extremely anxious beside them, quickly came out and said, "Captain Fang has been called away by the Goddess. Now I can only trouble you to go down the mountain to run errands and deliver the letter!"

"..."

Hearing the voice, Shen Ao looked up at Pei Zhenggang with a complicated expression on his face.

Since he met Pei Zhenggang again during this mission, he still regarded Pei Zhenggang as his former brother. In the past, they never disobeyed his orders, no matter how risky it was.

But today...

Shen Ao felt betrayed.

Seeing Shen Ao's unhappy expression, Pei Zhenggang lowered his voice and explained, "Boss, I'm sorry I shouldn't have attacked you before, but I was also worried that you would die. We are short of manpower now. If we lose you, how can we complete the mission..."

"enough!"

Shen Ao interrupted, "I'm only a company commander now. I can't bear to be called Captain Pei. Captain Pei should just call me Captain Shen."

Hearing that Shen Ao meant to draw a line between them, Pei Zhenggang was so anxious that tears came out, "Boss...don't! I've been with you through thick and thin for so many years. How can you just disown us like that?"

Shen Ao mercilessly dismantled his words, "Oh, you also said that we have known each other for so many years, but have you ever seen me forget a mission for personal reasons? I have always kept my identity and responsibilities in mind, and I have done everything I should do. Pei Zhenggang, between the two of us, it is you who has changed."

"I......"

Pei Zhenggang's voice suddenly became hoarse. He moved his lips but no sound came out, as if he had lost the strength to speak in an instant.

Isn't he worried too?

Before he met Bai Ying again, he had never seen the boss care so much about someone before. He was worried that the boss would forget his duties for personal reasons...

Pei Zhenggang's eyes dimmed, "I'm sorry, Boss. I won't do it again."

Shen Ao ignored Pei Zhenggang and looked at Bai Ying, asking, "I'm about to go down the mountain to deliver the letter. Do you want to leave with me?"

Bai Ying thought about it and shook her head, "I can't just leave like this."

The mission is the most important.

If she follows Shen Ao, she might be held back and discovered by the guards, and then Shen Ao would not be able to leave.

It would be better to let my second brother take them away tomorrow.

Seeing that Bai Ying had made up her mind, Shen Ao did not force her, "Okay, protect yourself and wait for me to come back and pick you up."

"Yeah. Go quickly and come back soon."

Bai Ying smiled and nodded, then saw Shen Ao out the door.

Shen Ao waved to Bai Ying, then quickly left. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the night.

Bai Ying let out a light breath and turned back to the house.

Inside the house, He Shiwen still felt unsatisfied, so she put her hands on her hips and scolded Pei Zhenggang.

Bai Ying called He Shiwen, "Okay, we should go back to bed."

"Okay. Mr. Pei, I'll let you go today!" Only then did He Shiwen stop judging Pei Zhenggang.

"Grandma, take care..."

Pei Zhenggang didn't dare to get angry and respectfully escorted the two out the door.

After returning to the house.

Pei Zhenggang looked at the empty room and sighed sadly, "Why am I doing this?"
