Chapter 58: Churning Seas of Turmoil

""Wait a second, let me catch my breath first."" Song Yan was truly bewildered.

This whole thing was just too bizarre.

Yet, for some reason, he still believed it.

Because deep down, he also had a feeling—his life wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Maybe, what Bai Siqi said was right.

""By the way, what’s happening with your punishment? Is the unit investigating?"" Bai Siqi was more concerned about this.

After all, she was counting on a good life with Song Yan!

It would’ve been better if she hadn’t brought it up, because the moment she did, Song Yan’s expression darkened.

""They’re already investigating, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. It shouldn’t implicate me—at least not directly. But it will still have some impact.""

""Oh, I forgot to tell you something. That bitch Fu Mingxue and that Qin Wenhuo have registered their marriage. You can use this as an excuse—after all, he needs to avoid suspicion too.""

Bai Siqi’s words were like a bomb, instantly blowing Song Yan away.

""What did you say? Fu Mingxue and Commander Qin registered their marriage? Impossible, that’s impossible—""

Those two had never even interacted.

Besides, if he remembered correctly—that day was the first time Commander Qin and Fu Mingxue had even met.

""What do you mean impossible? They really did register. All the neighbors know. And in our previous life, that Qin Wenhuo actually came looking for Fu Mingxue too. But back then, Fu Mingxue’s reputation was ruined, and she was with you. When Qin Wenhuo saw you two were married, he never showed up at the Fu family again.""

""This time around, Fu Mingxue changed, and I didn’t remember this matter, so that bitch Fu Mingxue ended up registering with Qin Wenhuo.""

Just thinking about it made Bai Siqi want to tear Fu Mingxue to pieces.

Song Yan’s face was gloomy; he couldn’t accept it.

Anyway, just hearing that Fu Mingxue had married someone else—it tore his heart to shreds.

It felt like something had exploded in his chest.

Bai Siqi noticed Song Yan’s odd expression at this point.

""Song Yan, why are you reacting so strongly? Don’t tell me—you actually like Fu Mingxue?""

She stared intently at Song Yan’s face, not missing a single change in his expression.

Hearing her question, Song Yan’s face stiffened for a moment.

He quickly realized his reaction was indeed a bit over the top.

Suppressing his discomfort, he explained, ""Commander Qin’s family background is good. If Fu Mingxue really marries him, I’m worried she’ll use his influence against us.""

""Commander Qin’s family members can accompany the army, so if Fu Mingxue comes along—""

But what flashed through his mind was the image of Fu Mingxue snuggled in Commander Qin’s arms—just that scene alone made Song Yan feel unbearable pain.

His expression grew even darker. ""Didn’t you just mention the whole rebirth thing? If Fu Mingxue doesn’t marry me, who’s going to raise our children? Didn’t you say the three kids would be very promising?""

""Fu Mingxue is good at studying. If she teaches the kids, there won’t be any problems.""

Bai Siqi’s face froze.

Right, why hadn’t she thought of that?

""—It’s fine, if not her, we can always find someone else. Besides, Fu Mingxue is married to Qin Wenhuo now. That’s set in stone, it can’t be changed.""

But she could change it—she could have Fu Mingxue sold by traffickers to some remote mountain village.

The oppressive air around Song Yan only grew heavier.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Song Yan’s expression immediately returned to normal. He said to Bai Siqi, ""Stay here, I’ll go get the door.""

He walked over and opened it, finding one of Commander Qin’s men outside.

""Song Yan, report to the instructor’s office."""
