Chapter 380: You Can Never Return to the Army
Tian Qi hung his head while tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. This unshakable man could not stop his tears from streaming down his face. "I’ve disappointed Big Brother Shao! I’ve also disappointed myself…"
As he said this, he snuck a glance at Shao Yibai standing beside him. The man’s face was ghastly.
Shao Yibai sighed again. He could not bear to do this. "Don’t worry, that man didn’t die. He wounded some of our men previously, so you’re actions were impulsive, but they weren’t too severe based on the circumstances."
Tian Qi’s eyes lit up when he heard this. "In the future, I’ll…"
"You can never return to the army!"
Shao Yibai rudely interrupted him. "The lightest punishment would be to strip you of your military rank so that you’ll never be recruited again!"
Su Qingcheng saw the light in Tian Qi’s eyes vanish instantly.
When they left the detention center, Shao Yibai made a phone call to Yuan Xuan. After they exchanged pleasantries, he told Yuan Xuan about Tian Qi’s situation.
"I can’t make a scene here because of my military rank. Can you contact some of uncle’s old subordinates to get that blockhead out?"
Coincidentally, Yuan Xuan was currently lacking a staff member like this. He wanted someone who was honest, quiet, highly skilled in combat and had a clean background.
"This Tian Qi seems like someone who was perfectly made for me. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that he gets out. When that time comes, he’ll be working for me!" Yuan Xuan said with a smile.
Shao Yibai heaved a sigh. He lamented, "That’s my beloved disciple! I raised that boy ever since he was young and you stole him away. I’m not happy about this!"
Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai usually had his own methods of getting along with people. Although he seemed extremely ruthless and strict, he cared about his relationships with other people. He was stern with his subordinates, but he was also empathetic toward them.
Yuan Xuan consoled Shao Yibai by saying, "His talents won’t be wasted as one of my subordinates. I’ll need more staff members once I’ve returned to Luo Hai. You already know that there are a lot of people who want to cause my downfall here."
Shao Yibai nodded when he heard this. "When I come back, I’ll return to Luo Hai with him so that we can attend your wedding together."
…
Tian Qi’s incident reached a conclusion quickly. Su Qingcheng’s heart was filled with grief, but she also rejoiced when she discovered that Tian Qi’s military rank was stripped and he was kicked out of the army.
It was fortunate that Shao Yibai had made arrangements for him right away. There was someone in Luo Hai who needed Tian Qi to be his bodyguard. This was the best escape route for Tian Qi.
…
Su Qingcheng returned to the days when she busied herself with her graduation dissertation. Since Jiao Shuzhen had acknowledged her as her daughter-in-law, it was time to prepare for her wedding now.
Shao Yibai was swamped with work in the military, so he left the two women to deal with this on their own.
On one hand, Su Qingcheng was still young. On the other, she had no connections in Capital City. She could neither help with the small nor the important matter, so it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen was making all the decisions on her own.
Su Qingcheng had handed in her information for the political screening. Since she was an unregistered person, information about her past could not
The people who were in charge of the political screening advised the Shao Family to help her obtain a permit and an identity card first at least. Only then would she be a true citizen of Country Z.
Su Qingcheng was tasked to return to her old home first.
She was extremely reluctant to return to that old place. However, in order for her marriage to Shao Yibai to proceed smoothly, she was forced to return to her old province to confirm her identity.
This was unavoidable. She was going to have to see her parents again…
Shao Yibai knew that Su Qingcheng’s heart was filled with sorrow. He comforted her by saying, "They made certain contributions when they raised you. Although they didn’t meet the mark as good parents later on, you still share blood ties with them in the end. If you don’t want to see them in the future, you don’t have to do that anymore."
Su Qingcheng’s heart was consoled. She simply needed to wait for the results of their premarital health checkup before she could return to her old home and resolve the problems regarding the proof of her identity.
Normally, the premarital health checkup could be done last, but Shao Yibai needed to attend the Yuan Family’s wedding in Luo Hai soon, so Jiao Shuzhen had arranged for the couple to do the premarital examination together beforehand.
Su Qingcheng could not help but admit that this was a troublesome process. She was an exceptionally fit person, but she had to say she was exhausted after having to go to the hospital for two days in a row.
There were semen tests, genetic diagnosis, chromosomal analysis, electrocardiograms, ultrasounds, endocrine examinations, biopsies, and IQ tests…
When Shao Yibai noticed that the young woman was squirming about impatiently, he consoled her in a small voice, "These tests are necessary to ensure that we can have a healthy baby in the future."
Su Qingcheng did not grasp what he meant. She widened her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai. "Does that mean that I can’t marry you if my body isn’t up to standard?"
Shao Yibai did not know how to respond to her silliness but to laugh. "No matter what happens, you’re still mine. These tests are merely things that people in the military compound and the sons of the aristocratic families have to go through."
Su Qingcheng finally relaxed.
The results would only come out half a month later. Fortunately, Su Qingcheng would be busy with her internship and ceased to worry about the matter no more.
Shao Yibai began his preparations to leave for Luo Hai. He would only return one month later after he left. Deep down, he was reluctant to leave his future wife.
The man brought some food and red wine to Su Qingcheng’s apartment. He seemed unusually enthusiastic. That was because he was actually harboring impure intentions all along. Unfortunately, young Xiaodai failed to see through his little schemes.
Once she had gulped down several glasses of red wine, Su Qingcheng’s low tolerance for alcohol was exposed. Her flushed little face felt as though it was about to burn up soon while her head felt heavy and dizzy. Her vision was blurry when she glanced at Shao Yibai.
"Big Brother Shao… Your head… Why do you have two heads?"
The woman’s voice was delicate and sweet. The corners of her lips were stretched into a wide smile as though she had truly found a rare treasure.
Shao Yibai snatched the wine glass from her hand when he heard that. He wanted her to drink some alcohol to lighten the mood, but it seemed like this girl had drunk just a little too much.
"Why won’t you let me drink…" Su Qingcheng sounded rather annoyed. She reached her little hand out to wrench the wine glass back, but her limbs were not cooperating, so she leaned headfirst into him.
Shao Yibai carried her in his arms and held her against his chest. The handsome man’s breathing started becoming unsteady. His lips were tinged with the scent of alcohol, but he pressed them against her ears. "You’ve had too much to drink. I won’t be able to do what I’ve planned in a while!"
Su Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. She had trouble understanding him. "What do you mean?"
"I want you!" said Shao Yibai boldly. This man was truly shameless at this moment. Since she was already drunk, he did not care about anything anymore.
Su Qingcheng spent a long time thinking, but she could not fully comprehend the meaning behind his words. She simply cocked her head to one side and rubbed it against his shoulder. This forced the man to suppress the heat that was burning throughout his entire body…
"Xiaodai, do you know that this is very dangerous?"
Shao Yibai’s voice was unimaginably hoarse. He tightened his grip around the woman’s limp body in his arms.
He had failed to have his way with her ever since their very first time together.
He certainly wanted to do it again, but that silly woman merely said, "We’ll be married soon. Why are you rushing?"
She wanted to resist and had voiced her disapproval in a roundabout manner. She did not yearn for things like this. These situations had occurred because of the pain that she had previously felt.
Apparently, she was afraid of pain…
Shao Yibai felt that matters of the heart could only be solved by getting to the core of the issue. He rewarded her with a feast today so that he could achieve his goal.
