The Spoilt Wife’s Happy Life with the Commander - Chapter 41 - My Arm Got Numb

Chapter 41 My Arm Got Numb
Mu Li assumed that Lin Qing would go in and take a look.

However, she stayed outside and only took a look into it.

“I can go inside with you.” Mu Li volunteered to be her company.

But Lin Qing didn’t have the intention.

She shook her head, looking quite sentimental on her delicate face. Perhaps she recollected the past that made her a little bit upset.

When she was a young girl, she had fancied countless times that one day she would hold her wedding ceremony in such a church.

As time passed by, such ideas faded away from her mind after all these years.

Mu Li surmised that her despondent mood was due to Chen Qudong.

He was wrong this time.

He couldn’t help asking, “Does it remind you of someone?”

Lin Qing pondered and then nodded.

It reminded her of herself when she was a little girl.

Mu Li asked further, “Is that person important to you?”

Still, Lin Qing didn’t say anything but nodded.

Her reaction confirmed his conjecture.

Mu Li felt as if his heart was beaten hard by something continuously, each beat bringing him increasingly intensive pain.

The woman in the church finished her prayers and slowly walked towards them along the long corridor.

She stopped at the gate.

As they were standing in her way, Lin Qing took a step aside to make way for her.

However, the woman stood still staring at them. She seemed quite preoccupied and finally rested her eyes on Lin Qing.

“Who are you?” asked the women in a slightly cold voice.

Lin Qing didn’t expect the woman to speak to her, so she didn’t respond promptly.

It was Mu Li who spoke for her.

He didn’t answer her question but held Lin Qing in his arms, gazing at her coldly, “She is my wife.”

Wife…

Still casting her eyes on Lin Qing, the woman sighed softly and said to Mu Li, “You’ve…married.”

Why was everyone in this world so happy?

Why was she the only one who endured the parting sorrow?

This woman, however, didn’t complain at all, for she might have already seen through her past.

Lin Qing couldn’t move her eyes away from the women. She couldn’t get her thoughts but she could sense her sorrow.

The women looked quite indifferent with such deep sorrow.

“Are you OK?” Lin Qing found herself asking.

The woman stopped her indifferent look but glared at her aggressively, “No, I’m not OK.”

Mu Li frowned.

“Let’s go.” He held Lin Qing in his arms and went into the church.

The women’s voice was following them.

“My husband was the same as him, accompanying me all day long in his spare time and disappearing when he was busy. You probably feel very happy now. Certainly, that happiness is hard-earned.” She didn’t turn around, getting further from them, “But you should know that one day, you will definitely lose all of it.”

“What?” Lin Qing turned around in shock. The woman had already disappeared.

Mu Li narrowed his eyes even more tightly.

He recognized the woman. She was the wife of his comrade in arms.

That honorable comrade died in the line of duty two years ago.

He didn’t expect to meet her here today.

“What… does she mean?” Lin Qing bit her lips, trying to find clues from Mu Li’s eyes.

But Mu Li concealed it perfectly.

“Nothing. Never mind.” Mu Li smiled and touched her tiny nose, trying to ease her mind, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”

Lin Qing was then distracted by the church.

She thought for a moment and looked very serious.

“I think it’s better not to go in.”

“Don’t you like it?” Mu Li was puzzled.

However, her minds were always different from others.

Lin Qing glanced inside again and said softly, “I think it’s not proper to get inside for no reason.”

“For no reason? For our marriage.” Mu Li brushed the hair away from her forehead.

But…

Lin Qing firmly shook her head.

Maybe she didn’t take their marriage for real in her heart. Therefore, it couldn’t be counted as a reason to get into the church.

Mu Li was upset when looking at Lin Qing.

Rarely, Lin Qing grabbed Mu Li’s hand and pulled him to another direction.

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

Let’s…

This phrase pleased him.

Actually Lin Qing inclined to get inside, but she was hesitant because of the uneasiness in her mind.

She got a feeling different from the past when she looked at Mu Li.

She would stare at him, heartbeat fast, and be reluctant to leave his embrace.

Just now, she felt a grip on her heart when seeing his frown. She couldn’t wait to frown for him.

What…

was wrong with her?

Later, they came across a creek, with a stone bridge nearby.

The bridge with a creek running under it formed a peaceful and serene scene in front of them.

Lin Qing walked over to the bank and tried the water with a hand.

Chilly.

She was excited.

She wore a pair of sneakers today which couldn’t be taken into water. She was frustrated for a while, looking down at the flowing water. Then she got an idea.

Lin Qing took off her hand-painted sneakers and stepped into the water—

She quivered from all over.

The water was really cold!

She stood on the pebbles at the bottom of the creek with bare feet. Water ran through her white feet, and the pebbles looked marvelous when reflected through water.

Standing in the creek and surrounded by quietness, Lin Qing felt she was floating.

“Mu Li, would you like to give it a try?” Lin Qing tilted her head and waved at Mu Li.

Mu Li refused her invitation indifferently.

The shoes that Lin Qing had just taken off were on the grass beside the creek. Mu Li was now looking after them for her.

“Are you sure you’re not coming?” Lin Qing pouted unhappily.

Mu Li narrowed his eyes and stretched out a hand with his palm facing upwards, “Come abroad to stay beside me.”

Lin Qing shook her head wildly like a rattle.

She chose to tread in the water by herself.

She walked along the creek towards the stone bridge a dozen meters ahead.

She could barely stand on the slippery pebbles, let alone walking steadily on them. She was staggering violently.

Mu Li followed her along the bank, step by step. He was worried about her staggering steps.

“The water is chilly. Are you sure you don’t want to try?” Lin Qing couldn’t give up persuading him.

But her resistance received no positive response. “No,” Mu Li answered without raising his eyes.

“Then how can I get you down?” Lin Qing asked him while paying attention to the pebbles beneath her feet.

“Hum…” Mu Li seemed to ponder over it seriously, and then said, “Kiss me. Then I’ll give it a try.”

Lin Qing nearly fell into the water.

“Well…” She rubbed her forehead. “Then you’d better stay there.”

Her answer was within his expectation.

But he had no intention to seek for her grant.

He took a stride towards Lin Qing and got by her in an instant.

Before Lin Qing could see it clearly, Mu Li had already put his hand on her waist.

“Eh?” Lin Qing didn’t realize what happened and was stunned.

“Isn’t the water cold?” Mu Li raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qing replied with a “h’m”, yet she didn’t know what was going on.

“Wanna warm up?” Mu Li raised his eyebrows even higher.

Warm up?

Lin Qing didn’t understand his words…

Her lips were then sucked by Mu Li’s mouth before she could figure it out.

Their lips were tangled together, and Lin Qing became his prey with a blink.

“Oh…” Lin Qing let out a soft cry, her heart thumping wildly.

There seemed to be a gentle breeze blowing in the air.

Refreshing.

Lin Qing threw her arms around Mu Li’s neck unconsciously.

This kiss was…

quite different from the past ones.

Obsessed in the kiss, Lin Qing failed to mind her steps and got stumbled on a pebble. She was falling backward.

With no time to alert her by words, Mu Li embraced her by his strong arms to get her back. Fortunately, Lin Qing still grabbed onto his neck, making it easier for her to stabilize.

However, to prevent her from falling into water, Mu Li exerted too much strength to pull her back.

With a heavy bump—

Lin Qing flung herself upon Mu Li and they fell on the grass behind him.

Luckily, her hands protected the back of Mu Li’s head.

It made Lin Qing dizzy. When she recovered herself, she found herself confronted by a pair of dark eyes.

“Are you all right?” Lin Qing was deeply concerned.

His eyes were so penetrating that they might see her through in a moment.

Not until Lin Qing felt uncomfortable by his gaze, did he say, “No, I’m not.”

Lin Qing’s eyes widened upon his answer and she checked his face.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Qing sought him through anxiously, “Where did you get hurt?”

Mu Li sighed, “My arm got numb by your weight.”

It turned out that Lin Qing moved slightly to the side that she lay on his arm after falling down onto the grass.

It should be numb after so long a time.

Lin Qing also felt his arm under her and was embarrassed.

What made her even more embarrassed was that her entire body was on Mu Li.

Mu Li was under her, but he didn’t want to get out immediately. He held a strange expression on his face.

Lin Qing’s long hair fell down from her shoulders and rested on Mu Li’s chest.

She wanted to tuck her hair behind her ears, but she happened to rub the tip of his nose when lowering her head.

She then hurriedly raised her head only to make contact with his eyes.

Their pose…

was quite misleading.

Probably realizing the embarrassing pose, Lin Qing let out a cry and tried to get up.

But she was stopped by Mu Li.

“Huh?” Lin Qing felt the heaven was revolving and then she was beneath Mu Li.

Mu Li looked at her attentively with smiling eyes.

“My arm is numb because of you. Should you give me a massage?”

Lin Qing answered readily, “Sure. I will do it for you!”

Yet she had fallen for it.

Mu Li had a bigger smile, “Look like you…”

He paused for a moment—

and said, “How can you massage my arm in this way?”

Lin Qing was embarrassed.

“Get up first, and I’ll give you a good massage.” She was quite serious.

Of course, Mu Li would not miss this good opportunity to tease her, and directly placed his numb arm in front of Lin Qing.

“Come on. Show me your sincerity.”

With wild heartbeats and uneven breath, Lin Qing felt that she was like a child who got excited by a long-expected toy.

Her behavior was not as usual.

The closer Mu Li got to her, the more abnormal she became. She nearly found a way out but was then trapped by him again.

Lin Qing summoned her guts to make a bold decision.

She grabbed his arm and bit into it without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, his left arm was left with a row of small and clear imprints of her teeth.
