There was a look of fervor in Shangguan Ling’s eyes.

He did not know when he started feeling this way.

On various occasions, Shangguan Wei would mention to Shangguan Ling that they had matched him with a girl since young. The latter had always resented but never it openly oppose it.

At the time, Xie Xuning was all alone without his wife or children.

Shangguan Ling did not think much about it, but his heart had stirred for Ye Tianxin ever since he first laid eyes on her.

She was different from other girls her age.

Ye Tianxin was like a resilient and proud bamboo, compared to the delicate and frail girls around her. She stood strong and elegant despite strong winds blowing in her face.

Li Qingcang was already with Ye Tianxin back then. Shangguan Ling was too proud to come between them.

Now that Li Qingcang was no longer around, Shangguan Ling was tempted to make a move.

He felt he should take advantage of this great opportunity. He might not have a second chance if he missed it this time.

Shangguan Ling would not hesitate to fight for the girl he liked.

Even if the possibility of winning her heart was minute, he still wanted to give it a shot.

“I don’t intend to join the army.”

Ye Tianxin was upfront about her intentions to Shangguan Ling.

If she turned down Qi Yiyan’s offer to join his special forces team, why would she join Shangguan Ling?

“Why not? You can take after your father.”

Ye Tianxin smiled faintly. “Leave that to my brother. I don’t have such plans.”

She grew up with a lot of respect for the military forces.

She had a natural affinity for people in the military, but that didn’t mean she would join them.

“That’s a shame.”

Shangguan Ling felt his throat tighten a little. He rarely had the chance to talk to women. Besides, this was Ye Tianxin, a lady he was secretly in love with. He felt even more nervous.

“By the way, Tianxin, if you don’t have anything going on, can you wait for me for a while? I want to go back to Lang Garden with you after I settle some stuff. My mother made some clothes for Tang Yuan.”

Ye Tianxin looked at the watch on her wrist.

She did not have any plans for that day.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Shangguan Ling rejoiced. Shangguan Wei had told him that a man must be persistent to get the girl he wanted.

A man who was too soft would not be able to win a fair maiden’s hand.

“Okay.”

Shangguan Ling walked toward the building with big, confident strides.

Ye Tianxin got into the car, took out a book from her bag, and started flipping through the pages.

She was eager to finish her studies before her twentieth birthday.

Judging by her past life, Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang should be together after what had happened.

They would have a child like in her previous life.

Ye Tianxin vowed to give Jin a complete family with loving parents this time.

Ye Tianxin felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart whenever she thought of Li Qingcang and Jin.

In her previous life, they never had a chance to meet. They did not even know about each other’s existence.

This time, she would make them to be together.

The three of them would build a home together.

Ye Tianxin sat in the car, pouring over the book and making notes with a pen.

Shangguan Ling stood outside and gently knocked on the car door.
