Chapter 365: Don’t Worry, I’ll Always Be Faithful to My Wife
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shao Yibai’s feelings for her had lasted for a long time!
Preschool?
Su Qingcheng was amused by Shao Yibai’s earnestness.
“Were you already having indecent thoughts at such a young age?” Su Qingcheng shoved Shao Yibai away to get up, but she had brushed one of the places his bones had fractured. The man was in so much pain that he grimaced.
Su Qingcheng reached out and supported Shao Yibai right away and laid him gently down on the ground. She asked in a worried tone, “How are you? Does it hurt a lot?”
“It won’t hurt if you kiss me.”
Shao Yibai could not stop himself from saying “indecent” things.
He had never played by the rules. He was a laid-back person who did as he pleased. Now that he felt comfortable, he had let himself completely free of any restraint.
Su Qingcheng was both annoyed and embarrassed at his character. She turned away and muttered, “I don’t care if you die from the pain. You’ve forgotten your limits!”
She never expected that this man could change his mannerisms so quickly.
He had kicked and stomped on her during their usual training sessions without showing the slightest bit of mercy. He behaved ruthlessly and as if he was not capable of feeling any sympathy.
He was kinder once their training was over and would carry her to the cafeteria for a meal. He could be said as gentle and warm at times like this.
Had he already fallen in love with her then?
Su Qingcheng was stunned.
Damn, she was still a “man” then…
Shao Yibai openly confessed that falling in love with her was not something that happened overnight!
“You have such interesting tastes when it comes to romance!”
Su Qingcheng ruffled her messy short hair with her hands, and an impatient look appeared on her delicate face. “You’re such a dangerous person. I can’t believe that you fell in love with a ‘man’. Should I be worried that you’ll get into all sorts of trouble in the future?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll always be faithful to my wife!”
Shao Yibai could tell exactly what Su Qingcheng was worried about. His voice was incredibly hopeful when he said, “If you marry me, I’ll love you so dearly as if you’re the most precious thing to me!”
Oh, he sounded so sweet and romantic when he said these things!
Su Qingcheng had never dated before. She had just turned twenty years old right after the recent Spring Festival. It was truly difficult for her to resist Shao Yibai’s advances.
She did not know what else this man would say if they spent any more time together.
Su Qingcheng clambered up and tried to use the radio intercom to call their comrades again.
She finally received a response this time. Although the connection was not stable, someone had already discovered that Su Qingcheng was missing. They had been using the radio intercom to contact her since them. Shao Yibai would be rescued too as long as they found her.
Perhaps these sloping fields were too well hidden. They had finally managed to contact someone after Shao Yibai had sworn by the great rivers and mountains and under the starry sky.
Shao Yibai and Su Qingchenghad been trapped for four whole days before they were saved.
Shao Yibai’s vital signs were still fine, but he was very weak. He was too afraid to consume most of the things around the pit of the slope since he was worried that it would affect their internal organs. The helicopter that came to rescue him and Su Qingcheng sent them to Kun Ming at once.
He stayed there for recuperation for more than half a month before he was sent back to Capital City.

Capital City…
Shao Yibai went to great lengths to hide this incident from the Shao Family.
The military camp in Yan Zhou went to look for him first because they were too afraid to report this to his family.
Shao Yibai did not inform Shu Jiaozhen about the days that he spent in Kun Ming either. He was worried that she would rush to Kun Ming right away and ruined the romantic atmosphere between him and Su Qingcheng.
Her son was already an adult, but she refused to leave him alone.
Shao Yibai made the arrangements to send Su Qingcheng to the police academy once he returned to Capital City.
That place would have been more suitable for Su Qingcheng than staying in the army.
The woman was considerably pleased. She had settled down in a new place, and her relationship with Shao Yibai was progressing well.
In the future, Shao Yibai would always reminisce about the sweet moments that the two of them had spent together as a couple.
It was normal for people to be overwhelmed by their own emotions when they were in love. Shao Yibai’s fellow soldiers who were also his subordinates had noticed the changes in his behavior.
They made their own assumptions to justify these changes. Some of them assumed that he had fallen and hurt his head during his previous expedition while others thought that it was caused by the air when he returned to Capital City. Meanwhile, some of them guessed that the Shao unit would be expecting good news soon…
Those people had guessed correctly. Commander Shao had good news to share.
He had taken the only girl in their unit under his wing now.
However, Shao Yibai remembered how these men had taken advantage of Su Qingcheng while they were training in Yan Zhou. Although she was still a “man” at that time, that did not hide the fact that she was youthful and attractive. He felt uncomfortable when he recalled how they had pinched her face and squeezed her buttocks.
The man decided to abuse his power to avenge her. He started to subject the soldiers to various kinds of insane training. An endless stream of complaints could be heard everyone one went.
Hmph! He wanted to see if they would still dare to lay their hands on his woman.

Su Qingcheng finally found a place where she felt like she belonged in when she enrolled in the police academy.
She grew her hair out and wore clothes that girls usually preferred. She looked gentler and sweeter now. Shao Yibai would go and visit her during the holidays. Although they had not made any significant progress as a couple, Shao Yibai’s heart had started becoming restless.
He was truly worried that someone else would steal this beautiful woman from him if he failed to win her over first. Unfortunately, he could not do much as Su Qingcheng was somewhat conservative. She would not allow him to take the next step aside from kissing. The man constantly felt as though his body was ablaze with passion. He was really suffering…
Shao Yibai had yet to bring Su Qingcheng back to the Shao Family for now. He originally planned to wait until their relationship had became more stable before doing so, but he never expected that Jiao Shuzhen would become anxious before his matters were settled over here.
…
“Ah Bai, since you don’t have anything to do today, why don’t you come with me to my friend’s charity banquet? You should pick one or two items from our house and bring them along because they’re having an auction event.”
Jiao Shuzhen observed her son’s expression when she said this.
Shao Yibai wanted to decline her offer, but he maintained his composure and simply looked at his mother who appeared youthful despite her age.
Jiao Shuzhen looked as though she was only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. Her love for Shao Yibai went just a little bit overboard because he was her only son.
Fortunately, Shao Yibai managed to grow up healthily and experienced a well-rounded upbringing thanks to Old Master Shao’s strict teachings.
“Why do I need to go?” Shao Yibai sounded slightly vigilant. His unit was stationed at the outskirts of Capital City, so he rarely went home, but Jiao Shuzhen always had an immovable objective every time he came back.
Matchmaking…
Shao Yibai had been forced to attend a few of these events in the past.
Now that he was older and possessed a unique status, his mother could not control him anymore. Every time she mentioned these matchmaking sessions, he simply said that he would not attend them. It was impossible for him to attend these events now that he only had eyes for Su Qingcheng.
Shao Yibai was worried that Jiao Shuzhen had disguised the matchmaking session as another event to trick him into attending it because he refused to go along with her plans.
“Are you still going to argue with me when I’m just asking you to go out and have fun?”
Jiao Shuzhen was unhappy. “You can’t just spend all your time training with the special forces’ troops. Sooner or later, you’ll have to socialize with the people from your father’s original circles. Your military rank…”
“Lady Jiao, if you’re so good at socializing, I should just give you my rank as Major General!”
There was a sinister smile on Shao Yibai’s face.
Jiao Shuzhen was so angry that she glared daggers at him. She was not going to bicker with her son though since she had actually made arrangements for him at the charity event today.
“Anyway, you should just come with me because I’ve already told Chief Wei that you’ll be there. You should attend this event to support him!”
Shao Yibai noticed that Jiao Shuzhen had resorted to using her husband’s old chief to get her way. He had no choice but to attend the event now out of respect.
…
The charity event would be held in the reception hall of Chief Wei’s home in the military compound.
The old chief belonged to the same batch as Shao Jingshan, but he had retired many years ago. He now stayed at home now, and all his children had their own arrangements already except for his youngest daughter, Wei Hongmian. She was the only one who had yet to get married.
She was a gorgeous woman who had graduated from a well-known university in America several years ago. It was natural for someone with her upbringing and background to be prouder than normal people. Numerous sons from illustrious families tried to win her affections, but she refused to see them. Thus, everyone in the social circles in Capital City called her a cold beauty.
Unfortunately, Wei Hongmian became more and more anxious when she realized that she was not getting any younger. Her mother began looking for suitable candidates for her within their social circles. Shao Yibai was the first person on the list. She thought he was the most suitable man for her…
