Luo Haxin was taken aback by his unprecedented coldness and aloofness. She bit her lip tightly, not daring to take a breath.

That cold and merciless gaze made her feel like a stranger to him.

“An Xiaotu was the woman I wanted to marry since my youth. I married a wife, not a work partner, or she didn’t help me with my work in any way, but…she was definitely not useless.” Tang Yucheng said this to Luo Haixin, implying that if anyone knew each other first, An Xiaotu had known him eight hundred years ago.

"To put it bluntly, because I love her, even if she's worthless, I will have her for the rest of my life!"

He and the rabbit were a world unto themselves, one that no one could intrude upon, nor was he willing to allow anyone to even dream of entering their realm.

The feeling of finding a treasured possession that was once lost, carefully guarded in the palm of your hand, is something outsiders can't comprehend.

Luo HaiXin was speechless, listening to the man she loved confess his feelings to another woman. Her heart ached with pain and anger at his cruelty.

Unwilling to accept it, An Xiaotu couldn't understand why she deserved this. He, who was always aloof and rarely spoke, had uttered so many enviable words of affection.

"From now on, whenever you encounter my little rabbit, treat her as a stranger. Don't approach or speak to her. If you say or do anything that causes her to misunderstand, leading to discord or conflict between my wife and me, don't blame me for disregarding your past status as my subordinate." Tang Yucheng delivered a stern warning, his voice dropping as he gave the order, "Pack your things and report to Deputy General Qin tomorrow; get out!"

Luo Haixin's eyes stared intently at his impassive and cold face, biting her lip tightly to suppress the trembling of her body. She took a deep breath, pushing down the sourness in her throat.

He stood up straight quickly, performed a military salute, and coldly replied with a single word, "Yes."

Then he left the office without looking back.

She won't give up that easily!

Although he claimed to have known An Xiaot Rabbit long ago, and their remarriage was possibly just keeping a childhood promise.

Like An Xiaotu, a woman who has no redeeming qualities, she woke up to reality after the fleeting infatuation of youth had faded.

A lifetime is so long, she can wait, until he discovers who the most suitable person for him is.

As soon as Luo Haixīn left, Shen, the deputy officer who had come to report for duty, knocked and walked in.

He glanced at the time, already past quitting hours, before he couldn't help but curiously ask, “General, are you going to transfer Luo…Luo to be under Major General Qin”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of danger swept over him. He dodged quickly, feeling a sharp wind graze his cheek. Then with a 'whoosh' sound, a gleaming, mercilessly sharp letter opener was firmly lodged in the door panel, penetrating the wood completely.

If he hadn't managed to dodge it, he would have been seriously injured or killed.

"Captain, Major…" Shen, the deputy officer, was dumbfounded, his voice trembling as he stammered, unsure of what he had done wrong.

"You've lived long enough to eavesdrop on your boss's conversation" Tang Yucheng's face darkened.

Deputy Shen hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, that's not what happened. I came here specifically to report on the progress of the investigation. My ears are a bit too sensitive and I accidentally overheard the last sentence; I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I'll go back and write a self-criticism later."

"Will there be a next time"

Because of Luo Haixin's affair, Tang Yucheng was already in a bad mood. Hearing Shen Fuan's explanation, a chillingly cold and oppressive aura emanated from his whole body.

"No, no, there's none left, none at all. If there's ever a next time, I won't need the Admiral to take action himself. I will swallow bullets and die to apologize."

Actually, the boss isn't really as heartless as people say. He sometimes allows subordinates to make jokes occasionally, just don't go too far. After all, life in the army is too serious, and they are also human beings. It's normal to relax a little bit occasionally.

It's just...Deputy Shen was lamenting in his heart that his luck was terrible today, he had walked straight into a gun barrel.

"Next time you eavesdrop on your boss's conversations, it won't be as simple as suicide. You'll be dealt with as a military spy." Tang Yucheng warned coldly.

Deputy Shen trembled all over, his military posture becoming even more rigid. He replied resolutely, "General, rest assured, there will never be a next time."

To know the fate of military spies is to know that survival is impossible, and death is even worse. The methods used to torture them are unimaginably brutal and bloody.

Tang Yucheng stared at him coldly for a while before motioning him to report on his work progress.

After Shen, the deputy officer, finished reporting his work and left, he made a phone call to Qin, the deputy general, to inform him about transferring Luo Haixin to his side.

Initially, when Qin, the deputy general, requested Tang Yucheng for someone, he had ulterior motives. Tang Yucheng knew his intentions and, coupled with Luo Haixin's unwillingness, he could only give up.

Now that the lord of Tangyu had moved people to his residence, he was very happy to receive them.

……

After finishing work in the morning, I went back to the villa.

Seeing An Xiaotu sitting nervously on the sofa playing with her phone, while last night he had Tang's family arrange a senior female chef who was busy carrying the prepared dishes to the dining table.

"Second Young Master, you're off work." Rong Shen greeted him as soon as she saw him.

"Mm." Tang Yucheng replied in a flat tone.

Seeing An Xiaotu engrossed, completely unaware that she had finished work and was heading home, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

"What did Madam do today" he asked Rong's aunt.

"Besides breakfast, Madam has eaten twice more and had some fruit. She also did some light exercise at the gym. Besides that…" Rong's aunt smiled and glanced at An Xiaotu, explaining, "The second young master is busy with work, and the third young master was afraid that Madam would be bored alone, so he found some games to keep her entertained."

"Didn't she go for a walk outside" he asked again.

"No, madam's activities are confined to the house." Rong-shun answered truthfully.

"Understood." He waved his hand, signaling Rong to leave.

Walking up to An Xiaotu, he looked down at her. Seeing that she was completely engrossed in her mobile game, a stark contrast to yesterday's eager welcome, Tang Yucheng suddenly felt a sense of being neglected.

The next second, he reached out and snatched the phone from An Xiaotu's hand.

"Damn it..."

An Xiaotu looked up and saw him. Her face seemed a bit pale, she forced down the last "ba" character, and squeezed out a flattering, bright smile.

"Honey, welcome home from work."

"This welcome sounds very perfunctory." Tang Yucheng heard her call him "Husband," and his mood suddenly lifted a bit. He caught sight of her eyes fixated on the phone he'd snatched away, and his mood sank again.aid that he would give the family living expenses from now on.Yisheng glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "A month's living expenses is 300,000.""Korean Won" Wen Yizhou asked."It's R country curre...
