"He’s the man I have my eyes on, would he really be so pathetic as to be brought down by a bit of public opinion pressure?" Zhu Mengtong said nonchalantly. They had talked about this issue seriously, and the conclusion was that Liu Shiyi would not leave, or else he would jump off a building to prove it! Moreover, Zhu Mengtong had no intention of letting a man marked with her label be enjoyed by others... They would continue living as they had been before, without change.

"But... but in more than twenty days, Captain Liu is set to embark on a dangerous mission that could last several years..."

"Watch your words!" Zhu Mengtong’s face turned cold as she rebuked, "These matters aren’t something to gossip about freely here!"

An Xiangjiao’s back stiffened, cold sweat flowing. This mission was classified; were it not for her being a participant, she wouldn’t be privy to such information. If this led to a leak, she’d certainly face a military tribunal and await judgment.

"... I’m sorry, I got confused for a moment..." An Xiangjiao awkwardly brushed off her mistake and said, "In any case, the future is fraught with danger, and unforeseen disasters may arise. If Captain Liu is not careful... Would you be at ease without leaving any offspring?"

"You seem eager to curse Shiyi with misfortune..." Zhu Mengtong said lightly, "I have my doubts about where you come from to hold such outdated views. Don’t forget, every soldier has a genetic sequence archive..."

If Liu Shiyi were truly unfortunate enough to die heroically, Zhu Mengtong could apply to have his genetic sequence merged with hers to create a child with their genetic heritage... But this is something neither she nor Liu Shiyi wanted to do unless absolutely necessary. A child without the genuine hopes of their parents is a tragedy, a scenario no one wants to see...

An Xiangjiao turned pale, entirely unaware of such a contingency and immediately felt embarrassed. She had hoped Zhu Mengtong would leave voluntarily, relying on two reasons. One was offspring, the other was lifespan...

Patients with Simoles Deficiency Syndrome have a short lifespan, akin to ordinary people from the Earth Era. She was aware that Zhu Mengtong’s condition was even more severe, almost like a regular person from Earth, and in a few years, she would age rapidly...

An Xiangjiao’s original intention was to accompany Liu Shiyi quietly, and when Zhu Mengtong passed away, he would notice her. This simple waiting wavered due to Zhu Mengtong’s poor health, which led her to boldly confront Zhu Mengtong under a curious impulse...

Now reflecting on it, she realized she had been too impulsive and foolish. If not for that damn woman with the surname Wan repeatedly provoking her, she wouldn’t have easily lost her usual composure. Now stuck in an awkward and unresolved situation, she made a miscalculation.

"Ha, if you want to steal someone, you should first check if you have the patience." Zhu Mengtong said leisurely, "Also, you made a mistake. You could openly try to attract Shiyi; if you succeed, it means you have the skill. Why confront me? He’s a person, not an object. My personal decisions are just personal, but ’marriage’ belongs to two people!"

Of course, if Liu Shiyi could be easily swayed, Zhu Mengtong would also make sure this man would never forget her!

Cheating is not just one person’s fault. If the woman puts in effort and the man is uninterested, nothing will happen. If Liu Shiyi did cheat, apart from her not keeping an eye on him, An Xiangjiao’s seductive skills were high, it would also be Liu Shiyi’s fault for not being steadfast!

So, An Xiangjiao was targeting the wrong place from the start. Of course, no matter how hard she tries, success is out of reach! Liu Shiyi was someone Zhu Mengtong had carefully chosen as her husband after many years of scrutiny, steadfast and not easily swayed.

Watching An Xiangjiao hastily try to leave, Zhu Mengtong added, "I heard there’s a saying online, ’There are no unfaithful men, only mistresses who don’t try hard enough,’ Sergeant An has a bright future ahead, why insist on this?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She really couldn’t understand why people nowadays would be so interested in ’second-hand men’... The ’second-hand’ man Zhu Mengtong spoke of was about to get off work, changed clothes, and sneezed, thinking he might have caught a cold, as he hadn’t been feeling well all afternoon.

An Xiangjiao knew the words weren’t encouraging but rather pure mockery, and her face turned even uglier as she logged off without a word. Zhu Mengtong blew on the cooling coffee, took a sip, and found it bitter enough to make her mouth pucker.

Su Jiameng, listening to the entire conversation, could only sigh and comment on how the ’main wife’s’ fighting ability was too strong, making the attempts of those trying to be a homewrecker quite painful.

At this moment, Su Yanjing said, "Simoles Deficiency Syndrome? Never thought I’d encounter someone with that in real life..."

The probability of contracting it was very low, and the mortality rate very high, Su Yanjing had truly never seen it.

Although Zhu Mengtong’s telekinesis was sealed, she still had her inherent abilities and could naturally detect attention from a nearby table, with a faint smile she teased, "So, has this little friend gotten a good look at me, do I have three heads and six arms, or a Rakshasa Ghost Face?"

Su Yanjing blushed, not expecting this seemingly ordinary woman to notice her...

Zhu Mengtong got up and saw Su Jiameng eating calmly, slightly surprised, she smiled, "Didn’t expect to run into Miss Su here, it’s quite a coincidence. Is there a chance we could get to know each other?"

Su Jiameng inwardly twitched at the corner of her mouth, she was once rumored with Liu Shiyi for no reason, and before this, Zhu Mengtong had met an oppressor trying to assert their dominance... The timing of their meeting was indeed... somewhat subtle... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.
