Ling Manyun had no time to do anything all morning.

Qin Yao has many flaws. He's like a hard stone, cold and ruthless.

But he also has good points.

Ling Manyun always remembered that stormy night when she was trapped at the train station. There were many people at the station, and many of them had malicious eyes.

The passengers ranged in appearance from those dressed in fine clothes to those dressed in rags. The wind and rain were so strong that they ripped the roof off the train station platform.

The trees outside were uprooted.

Fear crept into everyone's hearts, wondering if the waiting hall at the train station was sturdy enough. Just then, half of the wall and window on her left collapsed.

The screams from the crowd, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, made Ling Manyun's eardrums ache.

Ling Manyun always remembered her wet nurse saying, "You must never go out during a typhoon, or countless people will die. They'll be swept up like kites and thrown into the sea."

There are too many people in the Ling family, and the relationships between relatives are weak.

Ling Manyun sent a telegram to her parents and grandparents to inform them of her return to the city.

They probably won't tell her wet nurse.

However, apart from her wet nurse, no one else would risk coming to pick her up.

Although Ling Manyun's clothes were ordinary and she dressed deliberately in a low-key manner, her appearance was outstanding.

Two men with ill intentions took advantage of the crowd to get close to her and reach out to touch her; they probed and gradually made their way in.

Ling Manyun did not have a gun in her handbag.

Even if they had the means, they couldn't be used in the current crowded conditions.

She had no choice but to desperately hide.

Ling Manyun was helpless.

Qin Yao entered at that moment. He was accompanied by several adjutants, wearing military caps, and his clothes were completely soaked by the rain.

His adjutant went around asking if anyone had seen Miss Ling.

He stood in the very center and shouted, "Manjun!"

Ling Manyun huddled behind a fifty-year-old woman to avoid harassment, and heard the words as if they were heavenly music.

His glasses were soaked by the rain and wouldn't dry no matter how hard he tried. His impatience was especially evident on his face because he couldn't see clearly.

It was at that moment that she decided to love Qin Yao.

Later, she heard from her grandmother that the Ling family received her telegram about returning to the city and sent someone to inform Qin Yao, inviting him to dinner the next day.

As the rain intensified, Qin Yao suddenly arrived at the Ling family's residence.

He said there was only one bus going into town that afternoon, and it seemed to be Ling Manyun's bus. Perhaps she got caught in the storm and was stranded.

The Ling family hesitated for a moment.

Grandmother came out and said, "The train station is safe. If we send someone out now, the servants might get into trouble on the way. The servants' lives are also important. Let Manjun stay at the train station, and we'll go pick her up when the rain stops."

When she said these words, my grandmother was proud of her kindness and compassion.

Ling Manyun then thought that people are selfish and only care about their own position.

Grandmother wanted to gain a reputation for kindness and virtue, while Ling Manyun wanted her family to risk their lives to save her.

The one who succeeded in the end was Qin Yao.

Ling Manyun will never forget that typhoon day and the sound of him calling her name.

Another Mid-Autumn Festival, my family was busy with internal strife.

Every holiday, the Ling family children would use all their skills to please their grandparents, and Ling Manyun was no exception.

Unfortunately, she was sick that day. When she woke up in the morning, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and vaguely felt that she had a fever.

She managed to handle the situation, and it was already 10 p.m. when it ended.

Ling Manyun won the "first prize," telling her grandparents, "My classmates and I have made plans to go see the lanterns and stay up all night."

The cousins ​​all looked at Ling Manyun with anticipation, hoping she could persuade their grandparents to allow them to go out at night.

The grandparents agreed.

While her siblings went out to play, Ling Manyun went to a small Western medicine clinic for an injection.

She felt weak all over, as if she were melting.

"How did it get so high? How long have you had a fever?" the doctor asked.

Ling Manyun slumped into a chair.

Her cousin usually treats her very well. This time, when he brought her to the clinic, he was in a hurry to meet his girlfriend and didn't ask her a single question like "What are you going to the clinic for?" He was afraid that he would have to stay and keep her company.

They didn't notice she had a high fever.

Ling Manyun slumped in the clinic chair, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

It was Qin Yao who came looking for them.

Qin Yao said he ran into the Ling family; they were all out having fun, but he didn't know where Ling Manyun was.

Therefore, he searched everywhere.

Contact her classmates and friends to inquire about her whereabouts.

Later, her cousin said she went to a small clinic.

"She's probably getting some medicine for her wet nurse," my cousin said. "She should be going to play now."

He mentioned two places that Ling Manyun might go to.

Qin Yao, however, came to the small clinic.

On the way back, he held her in his arms without saying a word, just pressing his head against hers.

"Manjun, take a nap, it's okay." He kissed her hair.

This may be one of the few times Qin Yao has shown her tenderness.

He was usually busy and needed to maintain his authority in front of others, so he always wore a stern expression and didn't have time to date her. He would only speak softly to that fisherwoman, Liang Ying.

Ling Manyun pulled herself out of her thoughts.

A person shouldn't sacrifice their entire life for a little bit of sweetness.

Qin Yan remained calm and finished her work for the morning.

"You love Luo Qisheng more than I love Qin Yao. How come you're not affected?" Ling Manyun said.

Qin Yan: "...Manjun, my enthusiasm for people can never compare to even a fraction of yours. You overestimate me."

Ling Manyun thought about it and agreed, "That's true, you never invest too much emotion in anything."

"Once this train misses its stop, I'll take another one. I won't stand on the platform crying," Qin Yan said.

From a young age, she knew that suffering was meaningless. To live is to move forward.

If a problem arises, solve it.

Qin Yan had already started walking forward.

In the future, if she separates from Ling Manyun and divorces Cheng Tianxun, she will still move forward and live whatever life she finds herself in.

She would never think about the red gloves Cheng Tianxun gave her that winter, nor would she dwell on the fulfilling time she spent running the newspaper with Ling Manyun.

"...Actually, if I'm really going to be upset, I should be upset with Cheng Tianxun. He's been throwing tantrums at me lately, just because I said he was uncivilized," Qin Yan said.

"Don't spoil him."

"It's not that I'm used to it. I don't like to run away from things," Qin Yan said.

Ling Manyun: "You seem to care about Cheng Tianxun a little?"

"He gave me a new Browning rifle and a pair of gloves," Qin Yan said. "A person should have some conscience."

Ling Manyun seemed intrigued as well: "Do you have any plans?"

"There is one."

Tell me about it.

Qin Yan then told Ling Manyun about his plans.

Ling Manyun affirmed her idea: "You can succeed. He might even cry tears of joy. Go ahead and do it."

Qin Yan asked doubtfully, "Will it really work?"

"Unless he's really annoyed with you," Ling Manyun said. "Does he hate you?"

"I'm not annoying."

That day, Qin Yan made a phone call to Xiang Cenyan.

She needs Xiang Cenyan's help.

After work, Qin Yan drove back to the villa early as usual.

Cheng Tianxun did not return, but guests arrived at the villa.

She is Tao Jingxin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the young master, and Qin Yan's sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law."

Tao Jingxin stood up, her face a little pale: "Sister-in-law, I want to see my second brother and say a few words to him."

"Please sit down, sister-in-law. The young marshal will be back soon," Qin Yan said.

Tao Jingxin nodded, then said to Qin Yan, "It's my father's problem. They don't care about him, and even the military governor listens to slander."

Qin Yan became wary.

"This is military affairs, I don't know much about it," Qin Yan said. "Sister-in-law, you should talk to the young marshal. I'll go upstairs to change first, please excuse me."

She turned and left.

Tao Jingxin called out to her, but Qin Yan didn't stop.

About five minutes later, a car horn sounded at the gate. A servant went to open the gate, and a large car drove into the courtyard.

Then, you can hear Cheng Tianxun and Tao Jingxin talking.

"Someone, take your sister-in-law back," Cheng Tianxun said. "And have your elder brother investigate who's behind this, instigating her to get involved in military affairs."

He went upstairs too.

When the couple met, he nodded as usual, then walked past Qin Yan to change his clothes.

I'm not unhappy.

Of course, it's not exactly relaxing either.
