Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

"Hahaha......!!!"

"What a prestigious promotion and military merit award! It sounds so glorious and great!"

"So, in the eyes of your military leaders, military wives are meant to be sacrificed, to pave the way for men!"

"My law-abiding marriage, my clean and legitimate status, my dignity and bottom line as a pregnant woman—all of these can be traded for my future, military merits, or official position!"

"Then I'd rather not be a military wife!"

The desolate, icy laughter sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the room.

The soldiers behind Ming Xiuyuan were all tense and silent, like frozen quails, with their heads lowered. No one dared to look up and meet the coldness in her eyes.

Even the sound of the wind outside the window seemed to have stopped!

After making his tough statement, Xiao Re stopped trying to reason with Ming Xiuyuan and simply passed the problem on to Lu Yanzheng, letting him choose for himself.

"Lu Yanzheng, your commander said he's going to promote you! Congratulations!"

"In order not to hold you back, cause you trouble, or become a stumbling block on your path to success, I am more than willing to help you achieve your goals!"

"Let's part amicably, and get a glorious divorce for the sake of the nation's military development, so that we can contribute to the cause of the armed forces."

"And you, obey the commander's orders, continue the mission, marry the new wife who can earn you merit and awards, and gloriously complete your mission."

"As for me, I am understanding, tolerant and generous. I will gladly give up my position as the commander's wife so that you can register your marriage, get married, and consummate your marriage as you please. Who knows, you might even have a baby."

"That way, the task is completed, the boss is satisfied, and you get a promotion for your merits—a win-win situation!"

"The leader just told me to consider the bigger picture, to be dedicated, and to be understanding. At this moment, as a military wife, I resolutely obey orders, follow the leader's arrangements, and allow my husband to divorce me and remarry!"

"Please sign, Commander Lu. The commander has approved it!"

Xiao slammed the divorce papers she had prepared long ago onto the table—

The words, written in black and white, were neatly arranged on the table, each character clearly distinguishable, which startled all the officers in the room, causing them to jump around in panic!

Everyone panicked!

Lu Yanzheng panicked and tore up the divorce papers in a panic. He hugged his wife tightly and begged her to stay, saying he would never divorce her!

Ming Xiuyuan panicked, his official demeanor crumbling, his brows furrowing tightly, and he angrily exclaimed repeatedly—Nonsense! Utter nonsense! Utterly absurd!

The other officers all chimed in with their own words of advice and earnest guidance, taking turns to do ideological work on Xiao Re.

"Sister-in-law, please think it over..."

"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive..."

"Sister-in-law, listen to me..."

"Sister-in-law, I'm begging you..."

"sister in law......"

No matter how these people tried to persuade him, what grand principles they spoke of, what national righteousness they talked about, or what tolerance and magnanimity they talked about, Xiao Re wouldn't listen to anyone or believe anyone. He made his attitude clear in just two sentences.

"I do not agree to extramarital marriage."

"I'll grant your wish if you divorce and remarry!"

Ming Xiuyuan felt his scalp throbbing, his mind and body were exhausted, and his head was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to cramp.

In his decades of commanding troops, he had never seen such an unyielding and stubborn woman. She was even more difficult to deal with than the most unruly troublemakers in the military.

Ming Xiuyuan couldn't persuade Xiao Re, and he had no other choice but to pass the problem on to Lu Yanzheng.

"Lu Baozi, it's your own wife, you should persuade her yourself."

"You know better than anyone how arduous this task is and how important it is to our border defense and national security deployment."

"I've never seen a military wife like yours... so spoiled, so stubborn!"

The room was deathly silent!

All eyes turned to Lu Yanzheng, hoping he would show some manly spirit and military discipline to properly manage his wife.

Only Xiao Re leaned lazily against the bamboo chair, picked up a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate, and slowly cracked them open, quietly waiting for Lu Yanzheng's choice.

On one side were military orders, and on the other was his beloved wife.

On one end is the mission to the country and the people, and on the other end are loved ones and family.

Lu Yanzheng was like a prisoner caught in the middle, caught in a terrible dilemma.

As a soldier, he should prioritize military orders, obey organizational commands, follow orders, serve the country, and complete the tasks assigned by his superiors without hesitation.

But as a husband, how could he bear to see his wife suffer? Knowing full well that she disagreed, wouldn't allow it, wouldn't accept it, and wouldn't understand, he still registered his marriage with another woman.

Even if it's fake, she'll still be sad, upset, and feel deeply troubled.

Once cracks appear in the relationship, there will be no way to salvage this hard-won marriage.

After hesitating for a long time, his eyes were red, he held Xiao Re's hand tightly, his Adam's apple bobbed bitterly, and he spoke with difficulty and weakness.

The hoarse voice hurt like sand grinding against my heart and lungs.

"Hehe~!"

"This mission is extremely important! It concerns the security and stability of the country's border defense, as well as the lives of several important scientists."

"As long as enemy agents are not eliminated, the interests of our motherland and people will be harmed."

"Today, the nation is in dire need of development in all sectors, and scientific research is of paramount importance. The significant research achievements of those scientists are crucial to military and technological industrial development, and embody the hope for national rejuvenation. They must not fall into the hands of enemy forces."

"Honey, please trust your husband this once and agree to let me do as I say, okay?"

"I promise I will never cross the line, I will never fall in love, and I will never do anything to betray you."

"You will always be my one and only, my most beloved, and my best wife!"

Lu Yanzheng's voice choked with emotion, his throat tight, each word uttered with excruciating pain, his lips trembling.

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, revealing a vulnerable and fragile side beneath his tough exterior. No one could bear to criticize him.

Xiao felt a pang in her heart. She slowly withdrew her hand from his burning palm, smiled, and stroked his face, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

As a soldier, he made the right choice!

He has his own mission, his own choices, and a brighter future ahead of him!

and so--

Her objections were ineffective!

Her grievances are unimportant!

Her resistance became the most feeble, powerless, and arrogant joke!

Xiao Re's icy fingers suddenly slid down his resolute face, the last trace of warmth in his eyes vanished, and a strong smile crept onto his lips as he inexplicably burst into laughter—

I laughed so hard that tears streamed down my face...

Then, in the most charming and gentle tone, she spoke the most understanding words.

"Yes! I believe you!"

"I know you love me, cherish me, and spoil me. You are a responsible, dutiful, and righteous soldier, as well as a loving and devoted husband!"

"If you encountered the same situation, you would believe me too, right?"
