Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 579 - 574: Feelings Stirred

"""

It’s unclear whether it was coincidence or fate, but while Xu He was shopping, she unexpectedly encountered Shuanzi and a few of his subordinates.

Xu He was naturally attractive, and by adding the bright red woolen sweater she had bought while shopping, her skin looked more delicate than usual, her figure slim, showing no sign of being a countryside girl.

Shuanzi looked at her, his eyes moved slightly, and his lips curved into a slight smile.

His men, seeing Shuanzi’s gaze towards Xu He, exchanged smiles with each other, and soon each of them, while sizing up Xu He, started to laugh lewdly.

At that moment, a subordinate in a black jacket whispered to Shuanzi, "Boss, didn’t you say you were still unsatisfied yesterday? This chick has delivered herself right to our doorstep."

On hearing this, Shuanzi also smirked slyly, waving his hand to signal his men to disperse a little.

When Xu He saw Shuanzi, she froze for a moment, then realizing the situation, instinctively wanted to turn and flee, but was caught by Shuanzi.

Shuanzi reached out and pulled Xu He into his embrace, circling her with his arms, and chuckled softly, "It seems we really are fated."

Xu He looked around and saw that many people were looking in their direction, she immediately struggled, "Let me go."

Shuanzi took a glance around, understanding Xu He’s concern, he took her hand and dragged her into a nearby deserted alley, laughing boldly, "After all that we’ve been through, is there need to be so nervous? There’s hardly anyone here who knows you."

Xu He, seeing that there were no people around, felt even more afraid, remembering clearly what Shuanzi had done to her before.

She dropped the things in her hands, her arms unconsciously wrapping around her chest, "It’s broad daylight, what do you want to do?"

"We’ve done what needed to be done, you think I still need to do anything to you in broad daylight?" Shuanzi said, glancing at the cheap street stall items Xu He had dropped beside her feet, he scoffed, then said to Xu He, "It seems you’ve not been in the city long, how about I take you around, buy you some things, consider it compensation for what I’ve done."

Hearing Shuanzi say this, Xu He was somewhat moved.

Although she looked down on Shuanzi’s status, in her heart she felt that receiving some sort of compensation was better than nothing, rather than letting him take advantage freely.

But still, she was somewhat afraid of Shuanzi, and as they were not very acquainted, plus considering Shuanzi’s status, she was resistant.

She stepped back a few steps, looked at Shuanzi, and cautiously said, "If you really want to make compensation, how about not requiring my husband to repay that money, would that work?"

"What’s so good about your man?" Shuanzi frowned slightly, full of disdain, "Uneducated, unemployed, can’t make money, can’t even support a wife, and even can’t have children, are you really planning to spend a lifetime with such a man?"

Speaking of having children, Xu He’s face immediately turned red. She felt Shuanzi’s gaze scanning her, as if reminiscing about the time they spent together last night.

Unable to contain her anger, Xu He yelled at Shuanzi, "Whether I spend a lifetime with him is none of your business."

"Why not consider coming to the city with me." Shuanzi looked at Xu He, half joking and half serious, "Although I’m not a good man, I can at least give you a good life, a big house, make you a city dweller."

Undeniably, Shuanzi’s words touched Xu He deeply.

The reason she had been deceived by Luo Zhiming before was also because she had believed his words, thinking he had made money in the city, could buy a house there, and provide her a good life.

But who knew it would turn out like this.

Now, with Shuanzi saying this, Xu He was truly tempted.

However, Xu He was a person with meticulous thoughts, she also considered consequences in everything she did, she knew nothing about Shuanzi, no one could guarantee Shuanzi wouldn’t turn out to be just like Luo Zhiming before, just boasting in front of her, and who knows what he would really be like after she followed him.

Moreover, Shuanzi’s way of speaking seemed smirking, not looking like he was serious, if he was just speaking casually and she agreed, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock.

Hence, she hesitated for a moment, then coldly told Shuanzi, "I am a married woman, since I married him, I intend to spend a lifetime with him, you can forget this idea."

After a pause, seeing Shuanzi’s expression haven’t changed much, she took a risk and said, "Let bygones be bygones, I’m just a woman and can’t do much to you, if you have any conscience, I hope you won’t continue to pursue us for that money, I won’t ask for anything else."

Actually, Xu He had her own motives in saying this.

It was somewhat a test for Shuanzi.

One, to see if Shuanzi would insist on her staying with him, if he mentioned it again, she might really consider it.

To be honest, lately she was fed up with the daily mundane life with Luo Zhiming, due to the series of recent incidents, she even felt she probably couldn’t grow old with Luo Zhiming.

Might as well take the opportunity to leave Luo Zhiming.

Moreover, even if Shuanzi was just speaking casually, he might agree not to require their family to repay the money, which would at least lift some burden off her.

Shuanzi didn’t know what to think, he squinted and sized Xu He up slightly, his eyes shifting, lips curved slightly, just as Xu He thought he was going to say something unpleasant, he surprisingly agreed, "Alright, your family doesn’t need to repay that money, consider it my compensation to you."

Xu He, hearing this, couldn’t quite believe what she heard, just stared blankly at Shuanzi.

Shuanzi looked at her, smiled faintly, suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "But you have to promise me one condition."

Instinctively, Xu He quickly asked, "What condition?"

Shuanzi whispered in her ear, "If you ever come to the city, remember to notify me."

"I..."

Shuanzi didn’t wait for her to finish speaking, he winked at her, "Let’s catch up."

Xu He could tell what Shuanzi meant by catching up, but thinking about the two thousand yuan, she somehow, as if possessed, nodded at Shuanzi.

Of course, Xu He’s intention wasn’t to save the Luo family those two thousand yuan, but rather to have an easier time explaining when she got back.

She had already prepared herself that Luo Zhiyong would inform Dashan about this, naturally Luo Zhiming would also find out.

Even if Luo Zhiming found out, but if she could offset it with being pregnant and the money not needing to be repaid, she estimated it would quickly calm Luo Zhiming down.

Seeing her agree, Shuanzi smiled in satisfaction, waved to call his men, and left with a group of subordinates.

However, not long after, one of Shuanzi’s men brought Xu He a paper bag.
