Chapter 168: Not Believing

Qin Wenhuo had no idea what was happening on this side. He went to the post office and picked up the packages that had been sent to him.

But he wasn’t in a hurry to go back.

He still had other things to take care of—

Meanwhile, Ruan Hongfei sat on the donkey cart, feeling utterly miserable.

There’s no smoke without fire.

So, was what Zhu Xiaohong said true?

But she quickly shook that thought out of her mind.

Impossible. There’s no way Qin Wenhuo would get married.

He’s got two kids with him—who would want to marry him and become their stepmother?

Finally, after what felt like ages, the donkey cart brought her to the army base.

She hurriedly jumped off and grabbed her luggage.

There was still a bit of a walk ahead.

She had to carry her things herself—but she didn’t have to carry them for long.

After all, as the “flower” of the performing arts troupe, Ruan Hongfei was naturally good-looking.

There were still some people in the army who liked her.

Someone passing by offered to help her with her luggage.

Ruan Hongfei’s arms were already sore, so of course she agreed.

When they were almost at the troupe’s dormitory, she took her luggage back.

After thanking him, she carried her things the rest of the way herself.

Just as she was about to open the door and go in, the door next to hers suddenly swung open. Out came Li Jing, who had never really gotten along with her.

Li Jing saw her and, out of character, smiled with squinting eyes.

“Well, Ruan Hongfei, you’re back! Let me tell you some big news—Qin Wenhuo got married! His wife, mother-in-law, and those two kids all came to join him!”

Ruan Hongfei’s face instantly turned dark.

She snapped, “Li Jing, do you know what happens to people who spread rumors?”

Li Jing sneered, “This is the truth. The whole base knows about it. How am I spreading rumors? Qin Wenhuo’s wife is really pretty! If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself.”

Ruan Hongfei’s eyes reddened with anger.

She didn’t believe it.

After putting her luggage down, she headed straight for the family quarters—

Li Jing watched her running off and sneered in disdain—how shameless could she be? Qin Wenhuo was already married, and she still dared to go over there.

Heh, Qin Wenhuo had made it clear long ago that he didn’t like her. How could she still have the nerve to go looking for him?

Meanwhile, Ruan Hongfei really did run all the way to the family quarters.

She had to see it with her own eyes—she didn’t believe what others said.

When she finally stood at the gate of Qin Wenhuo’s courtyard, she suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

But she still raised her hand and knocked on the door.

At that moment, Mother Fu was making bottles of formula for the two kids.

Hearing the knock, she stuffed the bottles into the children’s hands.

“You two drink by yourselves, Grandma’s going to see who’s at the door.”

She went out and opened the door, only to see a very pretty young woman standing outside.

Mother Fu was momentarily taken aback. “Miss, who are you looking for?”

Seeing that someone had actually come to the door, Ruan Hongfei’s heart sank to rock bottom.

“—Who are you?”

Mother Fu thought the question was a bit odd.

But seeing that the girl was young, she didn’t say anything sarcastic.

“I’m Qin Wenhuo’s mother-in-law. May I ask who you’re looking for?”

Ruan Hongfei had still been holding onto a shred of hope.

But when she heard this, it felt like the sky was falling.

She forced out the words: “—What did you say? You’re really Qin Wenhuo’s mother-in-law?”

Mother Fu was no ordinary person.

She’d eaten more salt than this girl had eaten rice.

She could see right through what was going on with this young woman.

She was a little displeased, but didn’t show it.

“Yes, I’m Qin Wenhuo’s mother-in-law. My daughter is his wife. So, do you have any other business, miss?”"
