When the two got married, Leng Yunting's bride price was one thousand yuan, and Old Man Liu gave a full two thousand yuan, plus what the Original Body's maternal grandmother's family gave.
Moreover, after marriage, Leng Yunting gave her all his wages from those years, so even though she caused quite a bit of trouble, there was still a substantial amount left.
Liu Jingyi looked at the ten thousand yuan in savings passbook and the 268.8 yuan in her hand; her mood was truly wonderful!
Liu Jingyi tidied up, and when she arrived in town, it was just the right time for a meal.
Liu Jingyi was now a person with a huge sum of money, so naturally, she wouldn't treat herself poorly; even if she couldn't finish it, she could pack it up to eat when Leng Yunting returned in the evening.
She ordered braised pork and surprisingly saw oil-braised prawns. As someone who loved seafood, she naturally couldn't pass it up, along with two liang of rice.
The portion size was truly large. This was the first time Liu Jingyi had eaten at a state-run restaurant since transmigrating here. The master chef's cooking was excellent; she actually finished all the oil-braised prawns.
Of course, she didn't finish the braised pork, as her stomach only had so much room.
Liu Jingyi felt that her life right now was incredibly satisfying—no children, just the life of her and Leng Yunting as a young couple.
Whenever Leng Yunting had time and wasn't out on a mission, he would come back to cook for her. When she was alone, she could do whatever she wanted.
She could cook if she felt like it, or not cook if she didn't, and besides, Leng Yunting had money, power, and good looks.
As long as she held onto his leg tightly and served him well, she could achieve the life of leisure she desired!
After eating, Liu Jingyi didn't go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative; she went straight back to the Liu Family first. No one was home at the Liu Family at this time.
She didn't want her good mood to be ruined by those few people; this timing was perfect.
Leng Yunting, upon arriving at the Military Unit, received orders that he was to take people out on a mission tomorrow.
But before leaving, he felt very uneasy.
Leng Yunting was smoking, and beneath the thin smoke, his expressionless face looked even colder and more imposing.
Seeing the person walk in, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and commanded, "I will be away. For the few days I'm gone, help me keep an eye on Liu Jingyi."
Although his subordinate was quite puzzled, he didn't ask. A superior's affairs were not for him to speculate upon.
"Yes! Regiment Commander!"
Fu Jiexuan stood to the side. Hearing this, he was also stunned for a long time, but he only frowned and didn't voice his question.
Only when the two were left alone did Fu Jiexuan speak, "What is it? You were so well-behaved before; is she trying to make you do something again?"
"Not really. You're overthinking it," Leng Yunting glanced at him faintly.
"Hey, what's with that look? You clearly know why she climbed into your bed—it was all for that Meng Yunfan. She wants a divorce, so just grant it to her. Submit the report early."
"Hasn't she been different recently? Completely unlike the unreasonable person she was before?"
"Don't you dislike her? What? Now that she's changed a bit, you notice it so clearly? You indulged her so much when she was causing trouble before? Are you sure you don't like her?" Fu Jiexuan said while sizing him up.
From his interactions, Liu Jingyi was completely a brainless young lady, easily manipulated by her stepmother, unable to distinguish good from bad—a fool. Her only redeeming quality was her beauty.
As soon as Fu Jiexuan finished speaking, Leng Yunting lit another cigarette and began smoking.
He rarely smoked before; he only smoked one after another when he was feeling particularly agitated.
As someone who grew up with him, how could Fu Jiexuan not understand him?
He felt that Leng Yunting's current state suggested he might already be deeply involved without realizing it himself.
Fu Jiexuan looked at the man before him and shook his head.
Leng Yunting was lost in his own thoughts. After he returned from this mission, he felt Liu Jingyi had become different.
She was like a completely different person; not only did she stop avoiding him, but she also suddenly tried to please him in various clumsy ways, and on the night he returned, she slept with him again.
Of course, it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been willing.
He had to admit that initially, he had indeed let his guard down because of Liu Jingyi's looks, and later on...
Actually, other matters were easy to handle; he was just afraid that she... would suddenly act foolish again, listen to certain people, and do things she shouldn't.
Before marrying Liu Jingyi, Leng Yunting had already investigated her thoroughly.
In reality, the only ones truly good to Liu Jingyi were her maternal grandmother's family; Father Liu and that Chen Biyu were not easy to deal with.
Liu Jingyi's Maternal Uncle's identity was very sensitive, but Liu Jingyi's Maternal Grandmother was a very wise Old Lady who had arranged everything for Liu Jingyi early on, completely severing ties between her and the Song Family.
How could Leng Yunting not know the current situation of the Song Family!
Even if the Song Family hadn't completely distanced themselves from her, since Liu Jingyi married him, he definitely wouldn't abandon her.
However, this came with a prerequisite: that Liu Jingyi truly intended to live life properly with him.
Fu Jiexuan looked at his friend, realizing that Leng Yunting was unconsciously becoming more and more invested in Liu Jingyi, perhaps without even knowing it himself.
But one must know that Leng Yunting was famous in the Compound for being aloof and untamable.
Among their group, Leng Yunting not only had excellent academic performance but also possessed a sharp political intuition.
Under Leng Yunting's pressure, their entire group managed to get into university.
Leng Yunting had his own plans; he didn't attend university after getting in but directly applied to join the Military Unit. Fu Jiexuan had always been inseparable from him, so he naturally followed him into the Military Unit as well.
However, less than two years after they joined the Military Unit, the situation became tense.
Although Leng Yunting's father and Brother were affected, they were still safe in the Compound for now; after all, in this era, keeping a low profile was always the right approach.
Fu Jiexuan thought about the recent situation, looked at Leng Yunting's deep expression, and dropped his frivolous demeanor. "Brother Ting, are you perhaps worried that Liu Jingyi will go look for Meng Yunfan while you are away?"
Leng Yunting merely glanced at him expressionlessly and did not answer his question.
"Brother Ting, you've already arranged for people to watch her, but if she goes to Meng Yunfan, you can't stop her, or won't she find out?" Fu Jiexuan wondered.
Leng Yunting looked at Fu Jiexuan as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Brother Ting, you have a Wife, so what's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"
"How can you still be as stupid as you were when you were little after all these years."
Fu Jiexuan rolled his eyes at him; he truly was someone who valued romance over friendship.
So what if he has a Wife? It's not like I can't find one. I will definitely find someone more beautiful and less foolish than Liu Jingyi someday.
