Nie Shenyuan didn't speak, he just looked at Coach Lu.

"I know, I'll try my best to help you. I'm sure I can get Yu Lingling to stop harassing you. I'll also try to get her to leave here, but you know who her father is, so we need to talk..." Coach Lu sighed.

He felt like his hair had turned white from worry.

They were quite measured before, how did they become like this now? It's all because Commander Jia didn't suffer hardship himself, and his daughter has the same personality.

Now, while still in the military, he's brazenly approaching Nie Shenyuan with such a matter.

There are so many unmarried young men in this unit, which one wouldn't do?

What's so good about Nie Shenyuan?

He looked up angrily and thought, "So what if he's a little taller, has bigger eyes, and longer legs?"

“I don’t want anything to happen to Qingyu in the future either. This is the military, it should be safe, right? I’m afraid that if I come back from a mission one time…” Nie Shenyuan didn’t notice Coach Lu’s inner monologue and slowly began to speak.

"Don't worry about that. The military is absolutely safe. Nothing like what you're thinking will happen. Go on your missions without worry. Don't think about your family. If anything happens when you come back, you can shoot me." This time, Coach Lu gave his full assurance.

Going on a mission means going to the battlefield, and you can't afford to be distracted on the battlefield.

"By the way, what did you want to talk to the regimental commander about? He might be able to say something..." Instructor Lu stroked his chin, thinking about how to get the regimental commander involved and work on this together.

"He's the one who took me there so Jia Ting could hold a meeting. At first, I thought some leader wanted to talk to me," Nie Shenyuan sneered.

Instructor Lu paused for a moment before remembering something and explaining, "I forgot. I guess he doesn't know why Commander Jia is looking for you. He and Yu Lingling were from the same compound and know each other, so that's why he's looking for him. That's my guess."

Coach Lu added that this was just his idea.

"Anyway, he wasn't exactly a good guy." Nie Shenyuan recalled the somewhat guilty look on the commander's face at the time.

"Hey, it's a favor I couldn't refuse. Besides, he doesn't know what Commander Jia wants from you, so he's just going with the flow. Anyway, he knows nothing will happen to you," Coach Lu explained.

Nie Shenyuan knew, of course, that the commander hadn't agreed to call him over for something like this. After all, they had known each other for many years, understood each other's personalities, and had a good relationship. So now it was only natural for him to call him over, and of course he would beat him up once he found him.

The commander probably knew this too, which is why he left early.

Nie Shenyuan couldn't find him in the afternoon either.

Since they couldn't find the team leader, Nie Shenyuan forced Coach Lu to report it.

This kind of thing is hardly something to be proud of, but Nie Shenyuan didn't want to cover it up. He had been considerate of the girl's shyness before, but now he was making her even more confused about right and wrong.

Coach Lu might have lacked confidence when speaking to Nie Shenyuan, since none of their superiors could be considered equals to Yu Lingling's father.

However, he acted very assertively, making it clear that he was determined to get justice for Nie Shenyuan.

Moreover, they argued forcefully, insisting on coming up with a plan to resolve the matter, and also had to appease Nie Shenyuan's emotions.

This was the first time anyone had encountered something like this, and anyone who heard it would doubt its authenticity. So they called Nie Shenyuan over for questioning.

Nie Shenyuan maintained the same explanation throughout, focusing on the negative impact this incident had on him.

This was no small matter, and nobody knew what to do, so more people came looking for help. Even the people in their military region had heard about it over the course of the afternoon.

In addition, Nie Shenyuan originally intended to cover it up, and those who were interested learned more or less about it, but they didn't know the details.

However, after struggling with this matter all afternoon, we still couldn't get any results.

Nie Shenyuan knew that he wouldn't accomplish much in an afternoon, so he went home early.

When Nie Shenyuan got home and saw Xie Qingyu sewing clothes for Tuanzi, his anger, which had been building up all afternoon, immediately subsided.

"Why are you back so early today?" Xie Qingyu was a little surprised to see Nie Shenyuan return, but when she saw that he wasn't carrying any food, she immediately realized something was wrong and put the fabric she was holding aside. "What's wrong?"

Xie Qingyu walked over with concern. Tuanzi, who was playing on the side, immediately got up and wobbled over to Nie Shenyuan, looking up at him with some curiosity.

Looking at Xie Qingyu, who was showing concern, Nie Shenyuan didn't know how to bring up the matter with her. This trouble he had caused was not something that could be talked about.

Even so, he had to tell Xie Qingyu that he couldn't let her hear about this from anyone else.

Especially when it gets passed around, you never know how it'll turn out.

"I forgot to get dinner today, I'll cook for you tonight," Nie Shenyuan said.

"Okay, let's talk about it at the party." Xie Qingyu crossed her arms. "Do you have something to say?"

Looking at Xie Qingyu's expression, Nie Shenyuan noticed that she seemed concerned but dared not be too obvious.

"Let's go inside and talk," Nie Shenyuan said to Xie Qingyu, calming himself down.

Nie Shenyuan stepped forward and half-embraced Xie Qingyu's waist, leading her into the house. Tuanzi followed behind alone, not saying a word, but showing great concern.

Once inside, Nie Shenyuan had Xie Qingyu sit on the bed, then glanced at Tuanzi who had followed him and hesitated.

"It's alright. Children have the right to know about our family matters, unless what you're talking about is inappropriate for a child to know." Xie Qingyu knew that Tuanzi wouldn't talk nonsense even if she knew something, so she was relatively at ease.

“Someone came to see me today, the two people you asked me to look at yesterday.” Nie Shenyuan paused for a moment.

Xie Qingyu immediately perked up upon hearing this, "What do they want from you? Is it because of yesterday's performance?"

Nie Shenyuan shook his head. "One of them is Yu Lingling's mother."

After hearing what Nie Shenyuan said, Xie Qingyu understood somewhat, but even knowing this, she only had a general idea and didn't know why she was looking for Nie Shenyuan.

"Could it be an apology for what Yu Lingling did before?" Xie Qingyu asked, guessing.

It's no wonder Xie Qingyu thinks this way. In the original story, Yu Lingling's mother initially opposed their relationship because she looked down on Nie Shenyuan's rural background and his status as a father with a child.

This can be considered one of the difficulties in the relationship between the male and female leads.

Nie Shenyuan felt even more hesitant to speak after hearing Xie Qingyu's guess.

From a normal person's perspective, the correct approach would be as Xie Qingyu suggested.

He had previously stated that Yu Lingling's actions had caused him trouble, but when she came over, she still acted as if letting him be with their daughter was a good thing for him.

“No.” Nie Shenyuan shook his head.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's surprise, Nie Shenyuan immediately told her what Jia Ting had said to him that day, recounting the entire conversation to Xie Qingyu.

He also explained that he didn't have any ulterior motives when he asked those questions; he just wanted to see what Jia Ting's true purpose was.

After Xie Qingyu heard Nie Shenyuan's words, she felt that the world seemed to have gone a bit crazy, but then she thought about it and it seemed quite normal.

Although the people at that time were simple and honest, they were actually quite fierce in their actions. In addition, they had little education and were extremely unrestrained.

Many people even lived to this day when polygamy was allowed, so they are more accepting of this kind of thing.

Of course, everyone knows that doing this is wrong.

Otherwise, Jia Ting wouldn't have secretly sought out Nie Shenyuan.

"So what are your thoughts?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"I definitely don't have any other thoughts. We're doing just fine, how could I possibly have any other ideas?"

"But her father..."

“Her father is her father.” Nie Shenyuan’s expression was not good. “If her father knew about this and still agreed to it, I don’t think he’s a good person either.”

Nie Shenyuan's words were true. He was quite surprised today that Jia Ting, as the head of the cultural troupe and a soldier, could say such a thing.

If your boss, surnamed Yu, also agrees, his resolve will waver somewhat.

Looking at Nie Shenyuan's expression, Xie Qingyu knew that he was also feeling bad.

"I know you won't. You've always been a responsible person. Even though I schemed against you to marry you, you never said anything else and even sent me money every month. I was going to live a good life with you..." Xie Qingyu said, her eyes looking at Nie Shenyuan with a reassuring expression.

But in Nie Shenyuan's eyes, this look made him even more upset. He hadn't even let Xie Qingyu live a good life, and now this had happened.

What kind of man would do something like this? It's really embarrassing.

Nie Shenyuan even felt a little disgusted with his own face at this moment.

“I’m not that good, and it’s my fault for not handling this matter well. But you don’t need to worry about the future. I will definitely handle this matter well. I’m telling you now because I’m afraid you’ll hear about this from someone else.”

"Can you handle this?" Xie Qingyu asked calmly, her tone not accusatory, but rather concerned about whether Nie Shenyuan could handle it.

"Now the only option is to have the leadership intervene. All I can do is talk to Yu Lingling tomorrow and make things clear." Nie Shenyuan's eyes were somewhat ruthless; he hadn't originally intended to be so ruthless.

But today's excuses from above also made him see some things more clearly.

Xie Qingyu could also glean something from Nie Shenyuan's expression. Jia Ting dared to have Nie Shenyuan say such things even in the army, which clearly showed that she was fearless and knew that even if Nie Shenyuan disagreed, nothing would happen.

"Why don't you let me do it?" Xie Qingyu offered.
