A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

On the other side, Lin Yinyin had just arrived at her doorstep when she saw wisps of smoke rising from the chimney.

"Sister! I'm back!" she called out as she pushed open the door.

"Hey!" Lin Huizhi came out of the kitchen and saw the person behind Lin Yinyin.

"Aunt Erhua?!"

"Huizhi! My good daughter!" Wang Erhua was also excited.

She put the package on the ground, rushed over and hugged Lin Huizhi.

"I'm so glad to see you! It's been so many years!"

"Aunt Erhua!" Lin Huizhi couldn't hold back her tears either. "I thought I would never see you again in this life. It's so good that you came..."

"Silly child, why are you crying! Don't you welcome your auntie?"

"No way!" Lin Yinyin laughed, trying to smooth things over. "Sister, Aunt Erhua and Dani must be tired from their journey. Come inside and rest. Is dinner ready yet? I'm starving!"

"It's already done!" Lin Huizhi wiped away her tears.

"I stewed some meat and made meatball soup, both of which are your favorites."

"Let me lend a hand!" Wang Erhua said eagerly. "Don't you know how good I am at cooking? I guarantee it'll taste better than yours!"

When the food was served, Lin Yinyin stared wide-eyed.

Braised pork, pork belly stewed with green beans, braised pork stewed with potatoes, meatball and radish soup, steamed eggs with minced meat—a total of five meat dishes and three vegetable dishes.

She had never seen so much delicious food.

Lin Dani's eyes were worth it. She made the right choice coming this time.

Lin Yinyin felt she had to keep Wang Erhua for a few more days; Wang Erhua's meat dishes were absolutely amazing!

She's going to buy a pig's leg tomorrow; she wants to eat braised pork hock!

Wow, it's so delicious!

The meal was lively and everyone was very satisfied.

After the meal, Lin Huizhi and Lin Yinyin escorted Aunt Erhua and Dani back to the guesthouse. Only then did the two of them start chatting.

"Sis, why are your eyes so red? Did something happen?"

"Today... Li Jianjun came to see me."

"What's he doing here? Does he even dare to bother you?"

He said... he didn't want a divorce.

Lin Huizhi's voice was very soft, "He was a grown man squatting at the door with his head in his hands, he looked quite pitiful."

During the years we were married, he was actually quite good to me. He wasn't a bad person, it's just... he listened to his mother too much.

"sister!"

Lin Yinyin frowned. "Don't be soft-hearted!"

What's the use of someone just being "not bad"? If he truly cared for you, he wouldn't have let his mother bully you for so many years! Don't turn back just because he's pitiful!

"I know," Lin Huizhi quickly shook her head.

"I didn't soften my heart. I made it clear to him that I was determined to get a divorce, and then I went to the kitchen to busy myself and ignored him."

"That's good."

Lin Yinyin felt much more relieved!

No, she'll go pick up Aunt Erhua first thing tomorrow morning and have her keep an eye on her sister to prevent Liu Jianjun from bothering her.

I wish Aunt Erhua could live here!

After Lin Yinyin returned to her space and planted the seeds, she went to sleep.

However, she didn't sleep well, always feeling that there was a gaze watching her from the darkness.

"Who?"

She sat bolt upright, her fist instinctively swinging towards the figure beside the bed.

My wrist was firmly gripped, and a familiar masculine scent wafted over me on the night breeze.

"Yinyin, it's me."

"Li Jinye?

Why are you staring at me in the middle of the night? Weren't you on a mission?

She tried to turn on the light in the dark, but the man held her hand down.

"Don't open it, I have to leave at dawn."

Li Jinye spoke softly, "My mission isn't over yet. I came to report halfway through and stopped by to see you."

"Oh!" For some reason, Lin Yinyin felt a warmth in her heart!

The moonlight streaming in through the window outlined the man's tall and imposing figure.

Feeling the intrusive gaze, Lin Yinyin asked shyly, "So, where are you staying tonight?"

"Is it alright for me to stay here?"

"What?"

Lin Yinyin looked up and met those deep eyes. Is this man always so unpredictable in his actions?

"Yinyin!" the man's voice was hoarse. "I missed you."

The next moment, her lips were sealed.

Since they parted ways on the back mountain, he had dreamt of her for two consecutive nights.

In his dreams, she would reject him, pinch him, bite him, and kiss him.

That fiery and passionate nature was irresistible to him. In his nearly thirty years of life, he experienced the taste of "nocturnal emission" for the first time.

Lin Yinyin's body went limp from the kiss. Actually, she had many questions for him, such as his unilateral decision, the marriage application, and his will. Her mind was a jumble of thoughts.

But the man in front of her was too tall, too big, and too strong; she couldn't push him away.

She simply wrapped her arms around his neck and responded openly. After all, they'd already done what they should and shouldn't have done!

After a long while, Li Jinye was the first to be released.

He felt that all his self-control over the years had vanished, and he was about to be driven mad by the shock!

He was breathing heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Yinyin, I missed you!" Li Jinye whispered in Lin Yinyin's ear again after letting go of her.

She heard that.

"Yinyin, did you see that marriage application?"

"Didn't watch it!"

"Hmm?" Li Jinye's body instantly pressed down, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression. "You really didn't see?"

"I really didn't watch it. But..."

"Answer me one question first," Lin Yinyin said seriously, staring at Li Jinye.

"Yes, go ahead and ask."

Li Jinye patiently stroked her wrist with his fingertips.

"Why did you marry me? Just because we slept together and you feel responsible?"

Li Jinye sensed that if he didn't answer this question well, the little fox beneath him would bristle.

So he thought for a moment, "Because I like you!"

"So what do you like about me?"

"I like the way you smile, I like your fierce and ruthless way of taking down scum, I like your cunning when you hide your thoughts, and I also like your protectiveness towards your sister... I like both your good and your bad."

Oh my god!

Lin Yinyin suddenly found Li Jinye's voice quite pleasant!

"Yinyin, let's get married tomorrow!"

What the heck?

Lin Yinyin was dumbfounded again!

What did she hear?

tomorrow?

"Yinyin, the marriage application has been approved."

"Impossible! I told Jiang Feng not to hand it over!"

"Jiang Feng is my soldier. He listens to me."

Lin Yinyin was furious, but made a last-ditch effort: "Then I didn't submit an application!"

"Didn't Wang Erhua bring her back?"

"What?" Lin Yinyin exclaimed in surprise.

"How did you know? Aren't you always on missions?"

"Yinyin, don't be angry."

Li Jinye's voice softened, "I didn't investigate you. Today I asked the gatekeeper if you had come back, and he said he saw an aunt hand you a letter. You looked at it for a long time, and he happened to glimpse that it was a marriage application."

"You had the security guard keep an eye on me?"

"no."

He quickly explained, "I was worried that you would be bullied in the compound, so I asked the gatekeeper to keep an eye on you."

Lin Yinyin: "......" With her personality, it's hard to say who will suffer if they mess with her.

Even so, the anger I felt earlier dissipated.

Li Jinye always seemed to care for her in his own way.

"Li Jinye, isn't this marriage a bit too hasty?"

"No rush, other people get married after just one meeting, we've already..." She then lowered her head again.
