Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 841 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (5)

"You...who are you?"

Cheng Lifeng looked at the girl in front of him and, unusually, began to stutter.

Mu Zhou blinked, looking at him with a puzzled expression:

"I am Mu Zhou."

Mu Zhou?

Cheng Lifeng frantically searched his memory before finally recalling the wife his uncle had mentioned whom he had never met.

He had just submitted his marriage application not long ago.

Yes, it's the name Mu Zhou.

He didn't even notice.

Looking at Mu Zhou again, Cheng Lifeng's eyes held a complex expression.

This was actually his wife.

A subtle feeling welled up in my heart.

He pursed his lips and asked:

"You recognized me all along?"

That's why I always look at him on the train.

Then why doesn't she acknowledge him as her husband?

Mu Zhou nodded after hearing his question.

“I saw your photo at my uncle’s place, a one-inch photo. At first I wasn’t sure, but I was sure later.”

Cheng Lifeng looked at her innocent and pure face, his mind in turmoil, unable to think straight.

Therefore, she did not mistake the person at all.

She thought he recognized her too, which is why she was so affectionate and dependent on him.

There was indeed a photo in the documents my uncle sent, but he didn't look at it at all.

Originally, this marriage was of no concern to him.

Since they've come looking for us, let's give them a place to stay.

His ambitions lay not in matters of love and marriage, so he naturally wouldn't waste his time and energy on them.

If she can accept that, then give her some money regularly each month so she can live on her own.

Forget about joining the army.

If she is unwilling, then it's best to part amicably; he will offer some financial compensation.

That's all he could offer.

In her first phone call, her uncle mentioned that she was in a bad situation at home and desperately wanted to leave.

The other party probably just wanted to use his identity to leave their hometown.

However, he didn't care about being used as a tool.

But when he heard Mu Zhou say that he had hastily arranged the marriage just to get rid of his family, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

Seeing that Mu Zhou was still staring at him expectantly, he spoke in a stiff tone:

"We'll talk about that later. Let's go back first."

*

Mu Zhou was much quieter during the rest of the journey.

She always watched him cautiously, as if afraid he would send her back to her hometown.

It was not Cheng Lifeng's intention to make her live in fear.

But he doesn't know how to say nice things.

His past experiences did not teach him how to coax or comfort people.

Therefore, he could only express himself through actions.

He went and bought a boxed lunch.

Looking at the delicious-looking boxed lunch in front of him, Mu Zhou swallowed hard, but still said:

"I'm fine with just flatbread, I'm easy to feed, you can have it."

Despite saying that, his eyes were fixed on the boxed lunch, unable to look away.

Cheng Lifeng's brow relaxed.

She's still just a young girl, and she doesn't try to hide it at all.

He forcefully placed the lunchbox into her hands:

"Eat it, it's getting cold."

He picked up his portion and buried his head in his food.

Mu Zhou couldn't resist and happily started eating.

Oh my god, this is absolutely delicious!

Mu Zhou ate to his heart's content.

Cheng Lifeng ate quickly, finishing his meal in a few bites, and then he saw Mu Zhou becoming happier and happier as he ate.

A faint smile appeared on his face, but at the same time, he felt a mix of emotions.

He remembered his uncle's words.

Her uncle said she would be beaten at home and wouldn't get any food.

The uncle also said that he had found out that she had a bad reputation and was particularly selfish.

She was lazy and gluttonous at home, stole money, robbed her younger siblings of their food, and never did any chores.

He had heard about these things before and let them go, without them leaving a trace in his mind.

But now, it's hard for him not to think about it.

He narrowed his eyes, a dark glint in them.

What you hear about might be false; what you see with your own eyes is the truth.

The calluses on her hands, and the relish she showed while eating the pancakes.

There was none of the cunning and treacherousness rumored about them.

Cheng Lifeng lowered his eyes, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Zhou ate quietly, listening to the constant fluctuations in his favorability rating.

Since Cheng Lifeng rescued her from human traffickers, her favorability rating has risen to a positive number.

Currently, it has even reached 10%.

She kept her head down, eating her boxed lunch, ignoring what he was thinking.

After finishing the last grain of rice, he finally raised his head with satisfaction.

Cheng Lifeng took her lunchbox as if he had been waiting for her.

Mu Zhou then realized he was embarrassed.

She wiped her mouth:

"I'll go wash up and then take it back."

"No need, you can sit down."

He got up without a word to return the lunchbox.

The woman across the street couldn't resist again:

"Girl, your man seems cold and unapproachable, but he's a real man when it comes to getting things done."

Mu Zhou smiled shyly:

"He is indeed a very good person."

At night, Mu Zhou's head swayed back and forth, and he finally collapsed onto Cheng Lifeng's arm.

He was tall and had a straight back; Mu Zhou couldn't even touch his shoulder when she leaned over.

The moment their heads touched, Cheng Lifeng suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body instantly stiffening.

However, Mu Zhou quickly came to her senses. She sat up straight, subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth, and mumbled groggily:

"sorry."

After saying that, she leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes.

After a while, her head started bobbing up and down, and Mu Zhou would wake up and fall asleep again, going back and forth like this.

Cheng Lifeng tilted his head slightly and looked down at her.

He knew she couldn't keep this up for long.

Sure enough, Mu Zhou's body swayed a moment later.

This time, Cheng Lifeng was ready.

He lowered his body slightly, allowing his tense muscles to relax.

Mu Zhou nestled comfortably against his shoulder, resting her head on it.

Cheng Lifeng glanced down at her, and seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, he closed his eyes.

*

After another night, they finally arrived at their destination, Lücheng.

Cheng Lifeng carried Mu Zhou's luggage in large and small bags and walked ahead.

This time when she left, the original owner, this little money-grubber, took a lot of things from home, packing up many odds and ends.

She looked quite disheveled carrying it herself, but it seemed very light in Cheng Lifeng's hands.

As he got off the train, he didn't forget to turn back and help Mu Zhou's arm.

Then he continued walking forward with his head down.

Outside the train station, Liang Nantian was already waiting in a Jeep.

From afar, he saw Cheng Lifeng's prominently tall figure waving at him.

But soon, Liang Nantian noticed what was in his hand.

Did he go to buy some local specialties?

As the person approached, Liang Nantian was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a little girl following behind him.

Cheng Lifeng was tall and blocked the little girl completely, so he didn't notice her at first.

He didn't see her until the little girl came out on her own.

Liang Nantian was speechless for a moment:

"This……"

When the little girl looked up, he instantly remembered that she was the same little girl who had been targeted by human traffickers on the train.

This made him even more puzzled.

However, before he could ask, Cheng Lifeng's next words completely stunned him.

"This is my wife."

His mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Cheng Lifeng ignored him, simply introducing his name to Mu Zhou before putting the luggage in the car and opening the door.

"boarding."

He said to Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou smiled and nodded at Liang Nantian before getting into the car.
