Free Web NovelChapter 58: Chapter 58: Unbearable Turmoil
"Wait, let me process this." Song Yan was completely floored.
This whole thing was just too bizarre.
But for some strange reason, he believed her.
He had a feeling deep down—his life wasn’t supposed to be like this.
Perhaps Bai Siqi was right after all.
"By the way, what’s happening with your disciplinary action? Are the higher-ups investigating?" Bai Siqi was more concerned about this.
’After all, she was counting on living a good life with Song Yan!’
The topic was a sore spot. The moment she mentioned it, Song Yan’s expression turned grim.
"They’re already investigating. It shouldn’t be a huge deal, and it won’t drag me down with it—but there will still be some fallout."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. That bitch Fu Mingxue got married to Qin Wenhao. They officially registered. You can use that to your advantage. After all, he’ll have to avoid any appearance of bias now."
Bai Siqi’s words hit Song Yan like a bombshell.
"What did you say? Fu Mingxue and Qin Tuan registered their marriage? Impossible. That’s impossible—"
The two of them have never even crossed paths.
’What’s more, if I remember correctly—that day was the first time Qin Tuan and Fu Mingxue had ever met.’
"What do you mean, ’impossible’? They really registered their marriage. All the neighbors know. And in our past life, Qin Wenhao actually came looking for Fu Mingxue too. It’s just that her reputation was ruined back then. She was with you, and when Qin Wenhao saw you two get married, he never showed his face at the Fu family’s home again."
"In this life, Fu Mingxue changed, and I forgot all about this, which is how that bitch managed to marry Qin Wenhao."
The mere thought of it made Bai Siqi want to tear that bitch Fu Mingxue to shreds.
Song Yan’s face was dark. He couldn’t accept it.
Just hearing that Fu Mingxue had registered her marriage to someone else made his heart ache with a tearing pain.
It felt as if something had just exploded in his chest.
Bai Siqi noticed that Song Yan’s expression was off.
"Song Yan, what’s with the huge reaction? Don’t tell me—you actually like Fu Mingxue, don’t you?"
Her eyes were fixed on Song Yan’s face, not missing the slightest change in his expression.
At her accusatory question, Song Yan’s expression stiffened for a moment.
He immediately realized his reaction had indeed been too extreme.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, he explained, "Our Qin Tuan comes from a good family. If Fu Mingxue really married him, I’m afraid she’ll use his influence to come after us."
"The spouses of officers at Qin Tuan’s rank can live on the base. If that happens, Fu Mingxue will move here too—"
But the image that flashed through his mind was of Fu Mingxue nestled in Qin Tuan’s arms. The mere thought of it was unbearable for Song Yan.
His expression grew even darker. "—Didn’t you just mention being reborn? If Fu Mingxue doesn’t marry me, who’s going to tutor our children? Didn’t you say our three kids would be very successful?"
"Fu Mingxue is well-educated. If she were the one tutoring the kids, there would be no problem at all."
Bai Siqi’s expression froze.
’Right, how could I have forgotten about that?’
"—It’s fine. So what if it’s not her? It’s not like we can’t find someone else. Besides, Fu Mingxue is married to Qin Wenhao now. That’s a done deal. It can’t be changed."
’But she could change it. She could have Fu Mingxue sold off by traffickers to some poor, remote mountain village.’
The gloomy atmosphere around Song Yan grew even heavier.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Song Yan quickly schooled his expression. "Stay here," he said to Bai Siqi. "I’ll get the door."
He walked over and opened the door to find one of Qin Tuan’s aides.
"Song Yan, report to the Political Instructor’s office."
