Chapter 1: Seeking Husband
.. Miss, what's your name""It doesn't matter, just get my money back."Chen Zixuan nodded at twenty-nine, and twenty-nine leaped to chase those ruffians. Not long after, twenty-nine came back. He hande..."Sister-in-law, you, you, don't do this like this. Brother Jie, if Brother Jie knew about it, he would definitely be unhappy." Awen touched his head anxiously.
Today is the 45th day since Zhong Yunjie went missing. Chen Zixuan, upon hearing the news, remained silent and did not cry or speak.
She eats and sleeps on time every day. Except for those times, she spends the whole day staring at the letter that Zhong Yunjie wrote to her before he disappeared. She reads it over and over again. The letter is already wrinkled, and the words on it are not so clear because of prolonged friction, but everyone knows this is Chen Zixuan's last hope.
Zhong Yunjie is a researcher for the national special forces. Before joining the unit, he proposed to Chen Zixuan, and the two finally ended their 8-year long-distance relationship. Friends around them were all happy for them.
On the night of their engagement, both of them were very nervous. Zi Xuan had even showered early, but Yun Jie held her hand and said, “I want to save the most sacred night for our wedding night.”
Yunjie stared deeply at her, pulling her tightly into his embrace and gently inhaling the fragrance of her hair.
Although it was an engagement, it felt almost like being married. Chen Zixuan inexplicably felt a pang of loss, and a strange sense of unease filled her heart. The intelligent woman chose to remain silent.
"What's wrong, little lady Can't you take it anymore" Yun Jie, as always, loved to tease.
"Go away, I hate you." Chen Zixuan turned her back to him, but inside she felt a twinge of bitterness.
Zhong Yunjie wasn't annoyed. He hugged her from behind and whispered softly into her hazy sleep, "If one day I'm gone, you have to live well." Chen Zixuan mumbled something then fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
The next day, Yun Jie went to the army. When leaving, he gave a backpack to Zi Xuan and solemnly taught her how to use it, saying that there was a lot of space inside for many things.
Although Chen Zixuan wasn't very willing to, she still agreed to carry it with her. Unexpectedly, in the days that followed, this small bag she carried with her did save her life when she was in danger.
But right now… she felt that the bag was ordinary. Its appearance was similar to a bag you could buy at a roadside stall for 40 yuan, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Of course, if Chung Yun-jie knew that his painstakingly crafted high-tech product was being compared to street stall food, still priced at 40 dollars, he would probably laugh at her and then repeat those annoying bits of knowledge over and over again.
Before leaving, Zhong Yunjie took one last look at his fiancee. He gave her a deep hug and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be afraid, I will always love you, and you must live well.”
How are you doing
Chen Zixuan looked at him in surprise, a surge of unease washing over him like a tidal wave.
But before she could ask, Zhong Yunjie had already recovered his original appearance. This seed of doubt could only remain buried deep in her heart...
Actually, Chen Zixuan knew that even if she asked, Zhong Yunjie wouldn't answer. Things in the special forces couldn't be revealed, otherwise, it would cause trouble.
Deep down, she longed for Zhong Yunjie to give her some hints or say something reassuring. But Zhong Yunjie remained silent, concealing his emotions in his dark eyes. With a final sense of reluctance, he got into the car and left.
Actually, from the time they met to when they got engaged, it was almost 10 years. They were always apart most of the time. As soon as Chung Yun-jie joined the special forces' research and development base, they had little contact, barely even letters. Because things like letters that involved the outside world had to go through strict scrutiny. A lot of the time they could only communicate after a research project was finished.
At the beginning, Chen Zixuan found it very hard. As a woman, she always hoped that her boyfriend would be by her side. Later, she got used to it.
But this time, after Zhong Yunjie joined the special forces, he wrote letters much more often than usual. And the content always involved how to use that backpack. This kind of letter is impossible to send out normally. I wonder what method he used to send it this time.
Chen Zixuan clutched the letters, staring at the wedding photos of the two. Her heart pounded with a mixture of excitement and unease, as if she sensed something was about to happen.
As expected, a month later, Ah Wen came to her house and said that an explosion had occurred at the research base during the development of a project. No one knew what they were researching, and how many people were involved was also classified information from the military. However, Ah Wen later managed to get in touch with someone who secretly took him to the site where he found Yun Jie's engagement ring. It was deformed, but the "LOVEZX" inscription still showed the owner's love for his partner.
When ZiXuan got the ring, she completely broke down. It was impossible! How could this be YunJie had promised her, he wouldn't leave her, he would always be by her side, how could he possibly let something like this happen to himself!
She didn't believe it! She never believed that Chung Yun-jie would leave her!
That man was her future husband, the one she was going to spend her life with. How could he just leave her like this!
No, absolutely not, he will definitely come back. Maybe he's just been sent somewhere for secret treatment, that must be it. She has to hold on, she must!
She believes Yun Jie will definitely write to her! She has to wait, she must wait!
Yun Jie, look, I'm not crying or making a fuss, I'm being good, right
Yun Jie…come back soon, please
You promised you'd marry me, you can't break your word!
Two months had passed, and there was still no news. Chen Zixuan could bear it no longer; she was going to find Yun Jie! She refused to believe that Yun Jie would leave her alone on the road...
If…
If he really had an accident, then...husband and wife are one! She wouldn't betray their vows, she would definitely follow him...
Chen Zixuan stuffed all her necessities into her suitcase and backpack. The backpack, as Yunjie had said, could hold a lot of things and felt surprisingly light to carry, with no visible bulge on the outside. However, she wasn't in the mood to marvel at the advancements of technology right now. She covered all the furniture in her house with dust covers. Deep down, she had a feeling that she would be away for a long time.
The sunlight on her skin felt a little harsh.
She stood outside for a few minutes, finally glancing back at her house, the moist feeling in her eyes suppressed deep down. With determination, she locked the door behind her and dragged her suitcase toward the station.
Today she is wearing a white suspender dress, with gold thread embroidery at the hem, making her every step sparkle like a dot of gold light, like walking on the waves. The black belt outlines her good figure even more.
Her beautiful face looked a little pale and haggard because she hadn't seen the sun in months and had gone through some hardships, but it didn't detract from her beauty.
Chen Zi Xuan's figure doesn't belong to the bone-thin type, but rather a healthy and curvy one. Her temperament is friendly and comfortable, of course, we have to ignore her hollow eyes now.
Chen Zi-xuan was lost in her own world, she was walking forward entirely relying on the impressions in her mind.
Suddenly, a pair of dirty, thin, and black hands gripped her wrist. The grip was strong, dragging her to a corner.... Please wait here, Sir, I will be back soon."Su Wenhao nodded.Huai Ping respectfully retreated to prepare the carriage...Su Wenhao poured himself a full glass of wine and sipped it slowly under the m...
