CHAPTER 258: 246 YOUR HUSBAND GOES THROUGH LIFE AND DEATH

"Wasn’t it thanks to you?" Guan Kunling said, "No matter what you wear, it makes me want to vomit."

"Is that so." Lu Chi nonchalantly leaned in closer, whispering, "Where’s my gun?"

"Killed someone." In a voice only the two of them could hear.

"No wonder. They never came back." Lu Chi carelessly replied, "Your business here is really good. Kunling, I don’t think you’re suited to this kind of public exposure. Many of them aren’t here to see you for treatment; they’re here just to look at you. You should be like a flower, kept in a greenhouse."

"What does it matter to you, how I am?" Guan Kunling indifferently let go of his hand, "You’re not sick, next please."

"I am sick." Lu Chi insisted, refusing to leave.

Guan Kunling grabbed a piece of paper and picked up a pen nearby. This pen was given to her by Tian Sangsang. She was used to writing with a brush, and found it quite awkward to use at first.

"Take your medicine and leave."

Lu Chi looked at the paper; the handwriting was crooked and twisted, completely unmatching her extremely beautiful appearance, rather an extreme contrast.

Seeing his lack of reaction, Guan Kunling’s bright eyes showed slight anger, "Hurry up and get out."

Lu Chi was still unperturbed, lightly laughed and said, "Your handwriting is just like your temper." Probably knowing he couldn’t provoke her further, as Guan Kunling’s temper wouldn’t spare anyone, not that he hadn’t seen it before, he silently moved aside, and the rise and fall of voices soon filled the first floor of the house.

"Doctor Guan, the medicine you prescribed works really well. I took one dose yesterday, and today my throat doesn’t hurt at all..."

"Yeah, I’m quite old now, my foot hurt. Used to crush mice droppings and apply it, but it didn’t get better. Doctor Guan just used a few needles, and it doesn’t hurt anymore."

"Doctor Guan is such a good person. The consultation is also cheap."

"Doctor Guan, my back hurts..."

"Doctor Guan, I have a cough..."

Lu Chi watched quietly for a while, rolled up the paper in his hand, and carefully put it in his pocket. As he was about to leave, he happened to see Tian Sangsang in the lobby, holding a bamboo sieve full of dried wild daisies.

His movement to leave stopped just like that.

She really was something; each time she could surprise and unnerve people. The first time he saw her in Sangren County, she was so dark and chubby, and now she’s stunningly beautiful, making people do a double take. No one could undergo such a huge transformation in such a short time, yet she did.

Jiang Jinghuai is quite lucky.

"Mrs. Jiang." Lu Chi slowly strolled into the lobby. Guan Kunling had set up a desk and chair by the door for consultations, leaving the lobby empty.

Hearing the tone, Tian Sangsang almost thought she was some big boss’s wife.

She turned back in surprise, it was truly someone she didn’t want to see. She smiled faintly, "I don’t dare deserve such a title. Major Lu should change the way he addresses me, just call me Tian Sangsang."

Lu Chi nodded, chuckling, "Jinghuai and I grew up together, I suppose I should call you sister-in-law."

"I still don’t dare deserve it." Tian Sangsang acted humbly, "Major Lu, your rank is higher than Jinghuai’s, I can’t take on the title of sister-in-law." She changed the topic, "What wind blew Major Lu, such a distinguished figure, to my humble abode today?"

Lu Chi smiled gracefully, with a refined and elegant demeanor, "I’m here to see Kunling for a consultation."

"Is your illness cured?"

"Cured." Lu Chi slowly said, "When I see Kunling, no matter what illness I have, it immediately gets better."

Tian Sangsang’s smile froze at the corner of her lips, frowning slightly without showing it. What did he mean by that? How shameless to say such a thing! Who was it that drove Guan Kunling out of the military back then!

"To be honest, Miss Tian, you hide yourself so well. It’s like you’ve transformed completely. When Jinghuai first brought you back, many people felt sorry for him, now they all envy him. Seeing such a miraculous thing with my own eyes, I’m very curious. It’s like something that suddenly appears in the earthquake-stricken areas, also very mysterious, all unsolved mysteries." Lu Chi seemed to be implying something as he looked at her, "I think when the mystery is unraveled, it will be very exciting."

Tian Sangsang slightly displeased, "How can I be compared to a pie falling from the sky? Major Lu, saying such things makes me a bit angry. I’ve achieved success through hard work, heaven rewards those who work hard. One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off the stage. Some people only see my changes without seeing my efforts."

Lu Chi awkwardly touched his nose, nodding, "Yes, I misspoke...however, Miss Tian, you really are sharp-tongued."

"Kunling speaks little, as her friend, if I don’t talk more, we’d easily get bullied."

"Who dares? You have Jinghuai." Lu Chi said, "When Jinghuai comes back, you can tell him. He’s very protective and won’t let Miss Tian be bullied."

Tian Sangsang just smiled without saying anything.

"Honestly, among these military wives, I admire you the most, Miss Tian. You’re really good at life." Lu Chi leisurely looked around, "Your mindset is the best, the most optimistic. When your husband is risking his life on the front line, you’re still cheerful. That’s something many people can’t do."

"What do you mean?" Tian Sangsang felt a tightness in her heart.

"Miss Tian doesn’t know? Jinghuai went to war this time."

Tian Sangsang forced a smile, "Major Lu, are you joking? The Four Seas and Eight Desolates are all peaceful now, where could there be war?"

Lu Chi’s eyes shifted, "That’s because there are people like Miss Tian’s husband, fighting life and death on the front line, keeping war out the door."

Tian Sangsang lowered her brows, her palms tightened.

"Heartbroken?"

"No, I’m proud of my husband." She suddenly raised her eyes, shook her head, and said with a light smile, "The front line is dangerous, as a soldier, he should face life and death. Rather than being like Major Lu, hiding here, acting like a turtle?" Since Lu Chi had been rude to her, she saw no need to be polite either.

"Retreating strategically can also be beneficial." Lu Chi’s gaze turned grim, after a pause, "I always thought Miss Tian was the same kind of person as me."

"The same kind?"

"Equally sentimental."

"You must be mistaken, how am I sentimental? Really, if my husband dies gloriously on the battlefield, I’d feel honored. After all, I’d be part of a martyr’s family."

Lu Chi clicked his tongue, "As I said, Miss Tian is the woman I admire most. You understand Jinghuai, no wonder he likes you and is willing to marry you. I also respect him, he has been determined to dedicate himself to the country from a very early age. I initially thought he’d never marry. Now, it’s really surprising."

Until she could no longer see his figure at all, Tian Sangsang’s pretended calm expression immediately collapsed, she breathed heavily, throwing the bamboo sieve in her hand to the ground harshly. Sentimental? No, how could she possibly be sentimental! She was nothing like Lu Chi!
