Chapter 708: On The Way To Seek Death
“Great, give me a ride, please.”
“Get in.”
After they got into the car, Ning Wenhao looked at Ling Pinyuan’s sweaty face despite the cold weather. Although the swelling in the middle of her face subsided, the bridge of her nose still looked very bruised. He asked curiously, “What happened to you?”
Ling Pinyuan endured the grievance that threatened to escape from her and said in a stubborn and strong tone, “I got punished.”
Although Ling Pinyuan was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Jiang District, she was willing to suffer from pain and had high expectations for herself. She was also very nice to her comrades, so she was quite popular among her peers.
Ning Wenhao raised his brows slightly. Seeing her pretending to be strong yet aggrieved, he asked concernedly, “The day a model female soldier like you receiving punishment actually arrived? Tell me, what’s wrong?”
“Yesterday, when I was chatting with my friend at my family’s Soaring Clouds Pavilion, Zhong Nuannuan overheard my statement about how I have a crush on Captain. Not only did Zhong Nuannuan take away our family’s imperial jade worth 5 billion, she even beat me up.”
Ning Wenhao’s smile froze in place, and his eyes widened in surprise.
“You’re trying to steal boss from my sister-in-law?”
Ling Pinyuan stomped on the brake pedal on the car that barely started. Ning Wenhao almost got thrown out of the window.
Ling Pinyuan was so angry that her chest started to heave violently.
This person! Could he please focus on the right point?
“Instructor, shouldn’t you be more concerned about how Zhong Nuannuan, a country bumpkin who came from a farming district, knows how to gamble stones? How did she manage to get a jade worth five billion from our Soaring Clouds Pavilion, and how did she have the ability to defeat a member of the special forces like me?”
Ning Wenhao stared at Ling Pinyuan for a long time. Just when Ling Pinyuan thought that Ning Wenhao finally realized that something was wrong with Zhong Nuannuan, Ning Wenhao said in all earnest, “Ling Pinyuan, I advise you to give up on this idea! You’re not bad, but… Boss will definitely not like you.”
Ling Pinyuan, “…!!!”
“Ning Wenhao!” Ling Pinyuan shouted Ning Wenhao’s name angrily.
Ning Wenhao utilized his patience as an instructor and explained calmly, “Ling Pinyuan, you’re an outstanding female special forces member with dependable skills. Plus, you’re pretty good-looking and have a good family background. That’s why many male soldiers in the military base like you. I can’t deny that you have good overall qualities.
“However, you must understand that Captain looks for a girlfriend who he likes. I’ve been by his side for so many years, so listen to my advice and give up on the thought of coveting him. Otherwise, you’ll be heartbroken and embarrassed. So, why bother?”
Ling Pinyuan was so angry that she did not want to talk to Ning Wenhao anymore.
“Get out.”
“Ling Pinyuan, I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. I…”
“I told you to get out!”
Ning Wenhao, “…”
Sure he could get out of the car. What was the big deal about that?
Did she think that he would stand on her side just because she offered to give him a ride?
Ning Wenhao opened the car door without another word. Before he got out of the car, he saw another soldier from the special forces who was out on an errand.
“Hei’zi, where are you going?”
“I’m heading to the military base headquarters to get some information, sir.”
“Wonderful. Give me a ride?”
“Alright!”
Bang! Ning Wenhao closed the door and went to Hei’zi’s car.
Hei’zi did not even look at Ling Pinyuan. He stepped on the accelerator and sped past her.
Ling Pinyuan, “…”

After Zhong Nuannuan revealed her identity to everyone at night, Leng Jinpeng called the Duke Eton of Luntan early in the morning.
