80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Lin Yue landed headfirst, and the moment she touched the ground, her legs felt excruciating pain.

Lin Yue had done farm work since she was a child and had climbed up and down many places, so she was physically strong. Therefore, when she jumped from the second floor, she was fine in other parts of her body, but her leg was seriously injured and was probably broken.

Shen Rong glanced out the window and ran away. She must have been coming downstairs to see her. Ignoring her pain, she saw someone in the distance and dragged her injured leg toward that person with difficulty.

With each step I took, I felt the broken part of my leg tear open a little more, the pain was excruciating, and tears streamed down my face.

She didn't want to be taken back by Shen Rong, so she had no choice but to endure the pain and go to a place where there were people to ask for help.

As Shen Rong put on his clothes, he ran out of the room. Lin Mei, who was waiting outside the door, saw him rushing out in a panic and stared at him in surprise, asking, "What's wrong?"

Shen Rong glanced at her impatiently. He shouldn't have listened to this woman; it would be a real problem if someone died.

He didn't have time to explain much; he pushed her away and ran downstairs, shouting, "Your sister jumped off a building!"

Lin Mei never expected Lin Yue to jump off the building. She stayed outside the house, wanting to hear the sounds of her being tortured.

As a result, her jump caused Shen Rong to fail, and she was left disappointed.

She hated Lin Yue to death. It would have been so much better if she had just behaved and listened to everyone. All she did was cause trouble for others. It was good that she died from the fall, but who knows how she would have retaliated against her if she hadn't.

Thinking of this, she quickly followed behind Shen Rong and said anxiously, "You have to catch her. We can't let her get away, or she will definitely take revenge on us."

Shen Rong was also very anxious and almost fell down the stairs.

Lin Yue ran while shouting for help. The man was attracted by her voice, stopped in his tracks, and took a few steps toward her, seeing that she was limping.

As he approached, Lin Yue grabbed his arm. She was in so much pain that she was too weak to speak, and said intermittently, "Help me, someone is chasing me, please call the police for me."

The man helped her up, glanced behind her, and saw two people running out of the guesthouse entrance, a man and a woman, who looked like they were looking for someone.

Lin Yue saw it too, her fingers clenching nervously. "That man forced me. In my panic, I jumped off the building. Don't let them take me away."

She looked at the man pleadingly. The area was too remote, and he was the only person who passed by. She had to grasp at this straw.

If Shen Rong and Lin Yue take her back, they will definitely make her suffer. Her legs are in excruciating pain right now, and she is powerless to resist.

Seeing that Lin Yue had someone with her, Lin Mei was afraid that things would go wrong, so she tried to grab Lin Yue's arm as soon as she got closer, "Sister, why did you run out alone? It's so dangerous. Come back with me."

Lin Yue was so frightened that she hid behind the man. "You're not my sister. I will never let you get away with this."

Lin Mei glanced at Shen Rong, gesturing for him to go and grab the person. "Sister, brother-in-law knows he was wrong, so please forgive him. You're sick now, so don't argue over trivial matters. I'll take you to see a doctor right now, so don't cause trouble for others."

Shen Rong also came up to grab Lin Yue, but Lin Yue dodged him. The man stood between them, looking at them with a serious expression.

Shen Rong's expression changed. "Wife, please forgive me. I'll listen to you from now on." As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Yue's arm again.

The man brushed his hand away. "This comrade is injured. I need to take her to the hospital first. You can deal with any other issues later."

Seeing that the man was still protecting Lin Yue, Lin Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you so much. My sister has some mental problems and often talks nonsense. We will take her to the hospital ourselves, so we won't trouble you."

Lin Yue shook her head, holding back her tears. "This man is not my husband. My husband is Chang Jingxiang from the Cultural Bureau."

Lin Mei recognized the name Chang Jingxiang and her eyes darkened. "Sister, look, you're having another episode. How can you keep going around claiming husbands? Come back with us now."

Lin Yue's leg was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the man's hand. The man frowned slightly, "I need to take her to the hospital now, she's in so much pain."

Lin Mei grabbed his other arm. "You can't take my sister away. How am I supposed to know if you're a bad person? If you keep meddling like this, I'll call the police and have you arrested."

The man was now somewhat certain that Lin Yue's words were true. He raised an eyebrow and said, "You can call the police if you want. I am a police officer. You can go to the police station to find me. Now I need to take someone to the hospital."

As he spoke, he helped Lin Yue to the intersection to hail a taxi. Just then, a car passed by, and they got in.

Shen Rong and Lin Yue watched helplessly as Lin Yue was taken away by this man, and the two quickly discussed what to do.

If Lin Yue really called the police, what should they say to convince the police?

On the other side, Chang Jinxiang had been home for a while, but Lin Yue hadn't returned. She wasn't familiar with anyone around her, so she probably hadn't gone to visit anyone.

Chang Jingxiang felt uneasy. He couldn't wait any longer, so he grabbed his clothes and prepared to leave. Just then, he saw his colleague from the Cultural Bureau running up to him, panting, and shouting from downstairs, "The hospital called and said your wife was injured and taken to the hospital. They want you to go there right away."

Upon hearing his words, Chang Jingxiang's expression changed drastically. He rushed downstairs, hopped on his bicycle, and sped off.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor was setting Lin Yue's bones. Lin Yue was in so much pain that she bit her lip, and blood seeped from her lips.

Seeing Lin Yue's eyes swollen from crying in pain, yet she still bit her lip and didn't make a sound, Chang Jingxiang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He wanted to go in and stay by Lin Yue's side, but the nurse wouldn't let him, saying it would interfere with the doctor's treatment of the patient. He called out to Lin Yue, "Xiao Yue."

Lin Yue turned around when she heard the sound, and her pitiful little eyes made Chang Jingxiang lose his temper.

Ignoring the nurses' objections, he forced his way into the examination room. Just as the doctor was about to reprimand him, he walked up to Lin Yue and placed his hand near her mouth, saying, "I am her husband."

After saying that, he coaxed Lin Yue in an extremely gentle voice, "If it hurts, just cry. Don't bite your lip or my hand."

Seeing this, the doctor knew that saying anything would be useless, so he focused on the treatment.

Lin Yue endured the pain without making a sound. Seeing Chang Jingxiang's eyes redden with anxiety, she gently bit Chang Jingxiang's arm and then let go. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Hearing the tremor in her voice, Chang Jingxiang felt a pang of sadness and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his sleeve.

Lin Yue was in excruciating pain. The doctor painstakingly set the broken bone back together. Lin Yue really wanted to scream, but she felt embarrassed and didn't want to embarrass Chang Jingxiang.

When Lin Yue was transferred to the ward, she was completely exhausted, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her hair was stuck to her face.

She looked lifeless. After the nurse finished attaching the IV line, she left the ward.

Chang Jinxiang didn't even bother going home to get his things; he simply bought a washbasin, towels, and other necessities from a store near the hospital.

He fetched hot water and gently wiped Lin Yue's body clean, then changed her into clean clothes.

When it came time to change her pants, Lin Yue blushed and tried to stop him, saying, "I have a cast on, so it's not convenient to change. You don't need to do it."

Because she needed treatment and a cast, Lin Yue's trouser leg had been cut to shreds by the doctor and was just hanging there on her leg, which made Lin Yue feel very sorry for her.

Chang Jingxiang took out a newly bought skirt. "Wearing pants is inconvenient, so I bought a skirt. This way, it will be easier to change your dressings and such. Otherwise, it's too hot to keep covered by the blanket, and it's also inconvenient when you're sweating."

Lin Yue held onto the blanket tightly, refusing to let go. "Then when the nurse comes, I'll ask her to help me."

Chang Jingxiang knew she was shy, so he gently held her hand and said, "Xiaoyue, I am your husband, and these are things I should do."

Under his insistence, Lin Yue stopped objecting. Chang Jingxiang looked at Lin Yue's originally fair skin, which was covered in bruises and scrapes, and his eyes grew colder and colder.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so the doctor gave Lin Yue a painkiller. Now her leg doesn't hurt anymore, and all that's left is embarrassment.

She kept her eyes closed the whole time, her face was flushed, and even her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Although they had already been completely honest with each other, Lin Yue was still incredibly embarrassed to be seen by him in broad daylight.

Normally, Lin Yue's shy demeanor would have already aroused Chang Jingxiang's desire, but now all his attention was focused on his wound.

After changing his clothes and applying medicine to his abrasions, Chang Jingxiang suppressed his anger and asked Lin Yue what had happened.

Lin Yue recounted what had happened. When they were halfway through the meal, Chang Jingxiang's face had already darkened, and his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone, which made Lin Yue feel a chill.

She had never seen Chang Jingxiang like this before, and fearing that he might do something impulsive that would jeopardize her future, she glossed over many of the events in between without describing the details.

After hearing this, Chang Jingxiang was about to confront Shen Rong, but Lin Yue grabbed his hand and said, "The comrade who saved me is a policeman. I've already told him everything, and he's already taken care of it."

Chang Jingxiang's anger hadn't subsided, and the veins on Lin Yue's hand were still bulging. Lin Yue carefully rubbed his fingers, "Don't be angry, the police will arrest him. I'm fine, and he didn't succeed."

Chang Jingxiang then realized that he was too angry and had frightened Lin Yue. He tried to smile, but his expression was stiff.

Besides being angry, he was also extremely remorseful for not being there for his wife when she was in such a predicament.

He reached out his other hand and touched Lin Yue's face. "You must have been terrified. It's all my fault for not protecting you properly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue felt her pent-up emotions finally find an outlet, and she burst into tears, hugging Chang Jingxiang's waist.

Her tears and snot smeared all over Chang Jingxiang's white shirt, and her body was trembling.

Chang Jingxiang gently stroked the back of her head, comforting her, "Cry, you'll feel much better after you cry. You don't have to hold it in in front of me."

Lin Yue stopped crying when she was exhausted. She looked up at Chang Jingxiang and said in a choked voice, "It's all my fault for being so careless. She said she had my biological parents' things, and I was tempted. You don't know how scared I was. I was even more scared than when they took me back last time."

Chang Jingxiang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and lightly stroked her red nose. "This is not your fault. Don't worry, I will find someone to investigate your biological parents. From now on, you must tell me immediately if anything happens, including your thoughts and grievances, understand?"

Lin Yue's eyes welled up with tears again. No one had ever cared for her or paid attention to her feelings like this before.

So whether she was sad or upset, she didn't show it. She didn't cry or make a fuss because she knew no one would care.

She rubbed her eyes and saw that Chang Jingxiang's clothes were wet and wrinkled from her. She reached out and tugged at them, trying to smooth out the wrinkles.

Chang Jingxiang looked at her cute face with her eyebrows furrowed and her lower lip biting, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the corner of her mouth.

Lin Yue paused in her actions, staring intently at him, and asked the question she had been wanting to ask all along, "If I were really bullied, would you still kiss me like this?"

Chang Jingxiang gently embraced her, kissed the top of her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "No matter what happens, you will always be my Xiaoyue, and I will always love and respect you."

Lin Yue's tears, which she had managed to hold back, flowed again. She knew that Chang Jingxiang would not despise her, but she herself would despise herself.

She will leave this place and find somewhere where no one knows her, to live out the rest of her days in solitude.

She was so glad that she hadn't let Shen Rong succeed, otherwise she would never have been able to be with Chang Jingxiang again, nor would she have had the chance to be held in his arms again.

Lin Yue inhaled the scent emanating from Chang Jingxiang, then suddenly realized something. "What should I do? I haven't asked for leave from the factory yet. Master Zhu will be angry."

"Don't worry, I've already called your factory and asked for a long leave. You can go back after your leg injury has healed."

"But I finally learned a little bit, and if I don't go for so long, I'll definitely fall behind everyone else."

Chang Jingxiang raised his hand and gently touched her cheek. "It's okay, you can practice at home. Xiaoyue is so smart, she can catch up in a few days."

Don't think about anything right now, just focus on getting better. Leave everything else to me.

"Yes!" Lin Yue felt at ease, more at ease than ever before. She had family now, and that person was Chang Jingxiang.

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Chang Jingxiang, a satisfied smile on her face. Chang Jingxiang curled his lips and leaned down to whisper in Lin Yue's ear, "If you look at me like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will hurt you."

Lin Yue immediately understood what Chang Jinxiang meant, her face flushed red, and she quickly closed her eyes.

Chang Jingxiang chuckled, the gloom from before vanishing. But he had already made his plans. He would not let Shen Rong and Lin Mei get away with it; he would make sure they received the punishment they deserved.

"Knock knock knock..." The knocking interrupted his thoughts, and two officers in police uniforms walked in.
