I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 53 - 52: Forcefully Pinned Against the Wall

"Do you also know that Lu Xiangxiang is interested in you?" Xu Xiuxiu felt a sour surge in her heart upon hearing those words, and after mentally complaining for a while, she mumbled, "But what if the Lu Family tries to trip you up from behind?" Given the merits of the Lu Family, a casual word behind the scenes could be enough trouble for Song Yuanhuan; she wasn’t afraid of their overt attacks, but of their covert schemes.

"A soldier will block, and earth will cover the water." Song Yuanhuan admitted that such things were indefensible, though he knew there might be some impact, he didn’t really care. His position and military type were quite special. Although the Lu Family had high-ranking officials with exceptional means, they couldn’t easily meddle in his affairs.

Special department, special military type, special jurisdiction.

"Song Yuanhuan, I’m sorry!" Xu Xiuxiu felt apologetic for the conflict she had previously incited with Lu Xiangxiang that might have implicated Song Yuanhuan. She should have anticipated that Lu Xiangxiang was no ordinary woman. It would’ve been better to tolerate a few harsh words rather than directly confronting her.

"Ah." Xu Xiuxiu was suddenly pushed by Song Yuanhuan against a wall by the staircase, letting out a small cry of surprise, "What are you doing?" Her eyes held a tinge of reproach.

Song Yuanhuan, with a serious face, embraced Song Chengguang with one arm, while the other supported himself against the wall beside Xu Xiuxiu’s cheek. "Sorry for what? Xu Xiuxiu, I am your man, and I’m not afraid of the trouble you might cause." Song Yuanhuan spoke sincerely, frankly, he disliked the tone of apology in Xu Xiuxiu’s words, as if their relationship wasn’t one of intimate spouses.

"Mm." Xu Xiuxiu closed her eyes and reached out in protest to push against Song Yuanhuan’s chest.

It took a tremendous amount of willpower for him to barely restrain himself. At that moment, breathing heavily, he rested his head on her right shoulder, "Xu Xiuxiu, you are my woman, Song Yuanhuan’s woman."

Xu Xiuxiu hadn’t recovered from her daze and was still stunned against the wall. Instinctively, she opened her mouth when she heard Song Yuanhuan’s assertive words, "Song Yuanhuan, I actually... mm." Xu Xiuxiu’s words were cut off again as Song Yuanhuan forcefully silenced her.

Xu Xiuxiu, frustrated, even felt a fiery pain on her lips.

"I am your man." Song Yuanhuan bit Xu Xiuxiu’s lip as a form of punishment but did not break the skin, just enough for her to feel a slight pain, sorting through her jumbled thoughts.

"Um." Xu Xiuxiu had calmed down by now and gently responded.

Song Yuanhuan then released his grip on the back of her head, his broad hand stretching out to lead Xu Xiuxiu upstairs.

Xu Xiuxiu, like a lost soul, let Song Yuanhuan lead her. Her gaze first lingered on Song Yuanhuan’s back and then moved to their intertwined hands under the twilight light. His dark complexion contrasted starkly with her fair skin. She thought she would resist, but the security of their joined hands made her feel somewhat greedily dizzy. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Keep pretending to be confused, Xu Xiuxiu! Xu Xiuxiu bit her lip and thought to herself.

The Military District was not peaceful that night.

Xu Xiuxiu returned to her barracks soon after and, exhausted, quickly fell asleep with Song Chengguang. In the middle of the night, Song Yuanhuan went out again. Song Xiaoying hadn’t found Wang Hongfei’s Erya, and Song Yuanhuan had rallied quite some people to turn the Military District upside down; yet, they still hadn’t found a trace of the little girl, causing many people to be deeply anxious.

In this military district, despite mobilizing so much manpower, failing to find a six or seven-year-old girl was truly a humiliating debacle. This group of men, accustomed to daily drills and battle cries, all felt a bit sheepish!

"Erya, my Erya!" Song Xiaoying wailed as if her life depended on it outside the medical ward, her snot and tears flying. "Wang Hongfei, it’s all because you wanted to settle scores with Erya that she got scared and hid. It’s been a full day, she hasn’t eaten a bite, she’s still so small, what should we do!" Song Xiaoying wept and started pounding on Wang Hongfei, her tone full of reproach.

"Letting you abuse our daughter for someone else’s child, not knowing right from wrong, not distinguishing kin from strangers, you think being a soldier is something incredible! Wang Hongfei, I tell you, if anything happens to Erya today, I’ll skin you alive," Song Xiaoying harshly stated.

She had always been proud of her husband being a soldier, but if it came to her daughter, she could ruthless enough to strip off his military uniform, unwilling to let even a single hair be harmed on her daughter.

Wang Hongfei, with a dark face, let Song Xiaoying hit him. With pursed lips and furrowed brow, he was silent towards his wife’s accusations, feeling quite wronged. He hadn’t even said how he planned to handle Erya’s matter! Moreover, the fact that Erya caused Zhao Nan’s injury and disfigurement was real, not something he could overlook just because he was a father. Furthermore, since Erya was his daughter, Wang Hongfei, she should know that all he wished for her was to be above reproach and beneath no one’s contempt.

"Song Xiaoying, don’t make a fuss and cause trouble," Wang Hongfei grabbed Song Xiaoying’s fists, his tone quite serious.

"I’m making a fuss, Wang Hongfei, I’m telling you I can be even more troublesome," Song Xiaoying fiercely retorted, her tone full of annoyance. Grabbing Wang Hongfei, she began to tear at him like a shrew; her sharp nails quickly scratched Wang Hongfei’s face.

Standing by, Zhao Jian Country and Song Yuanhuan stepped forward to try to break them up, yet no one wanted to touch Song Xiaoying, so they could only offer superficial attempts at mediation while sympathetically watching Wang Hongfei dodge and duck.

"You shrew, Song Xiaoying, you shrew!" Wang Hongfei, his face scratched and filled with annoyance and surrounded by quite a few onlookers, felt he couldn’t preserve any dignity. Hardening his heart, he grabbed Song Xiaoying’s hand. "A shrew for a mother will spoil a child. Song Xiaoying, given your shrewish behavior just now, I can’t believe Erya can turn out well under you. I’m telling you, Erya is definitely getting punished; I won’t spare her." While Wang Hongfei himself was reluctant to punish his own daughter, seeing Song Xiaoying’s shrewish behavior suddenly made him rational; he decided Erya must be strictly disciplined, otherwise, he couldn’t imagine what she might turn into.
