The Spoilt Wife’s Happy Life with the Commander - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 You Are Grounded
For some reason, Lin Qing felt a little sad when she said this. Her thoughts were lingering around in her heart, confused and unclear.

“Then, is your marriage with him fake?” Lu Xiao whispered into Lin Qing’s ears.

Lin Qing denied it.

Lu Xiao didn’t say anything else, but pulled Lin Qing and walked toward the outside.

“Lu Xiao, what’s wrong?” Lin Qing was almost being dragged by Lu Xiao. She asked several times behind Lu Xiao, but didn’t get an answer.

Earlier on, Mu Li finished his work and was walking to Lin Qing’s company.

He dialed Lin Qing’s number but no one answered.

After dialing three or four times in a row, Mu Li was a little worried.

Although Lin Qing’s brain circuitry was different from others’, she had never ignored his phone before.

Thinking of this, he stepped on the accelerator even more heavily and soon arrived at the company.

It was already after work at this time and most of the employees had left the company. There were only a few employees working overtime on the empty floor, and Lin Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Li felt a chill through him.

He wasn’t aware that he was actually concerned about Lin Qing’s safety.

But he had no time to discern his emotion at this moment. He called one of his men immediately.

“Find out where Lin Qing is now, immediately.” His tone was cold and frightening.

About ten minutes later, a text message came in.

Mu Li checked it.

It was the address of an elite club.

He frowned.

Lin Qing was dragged into the hall by Lu Xiao. There were all kinds of wine on the table.

“Lin Qing, drink with me.” Lu Xiao took two goblets from somewhere, which contained dark red liquid.

Lin Qing took over the goblet but did not drink at once.

Lu Xiao still knew a thing or two about Lin Qing’s temperament. Seeing that she didn’t drink, she didn’t say anything and drank up the wine in her goblet.

In fact, she was angry with Lin Qing. Both of them were plain office clerks, but why could Lin Qing meet Mu Li, whereas she was still the ordinary Lu Xiao?

Lu Xiao drank several glasses on end, and Lin Qing didn’t even try a drop of it.

“Why don’t you drink?” Lu Xiao said angrily. “Do you think the wine is not good enough or I’m not good enough to drink with you?”

“No, it’s not like that.” Lin Qing shook her head and made no further explanation.

This made the drunken Lu Xiao feel more depressed.

“If you don’t drink, I’ll drink up all the wine here on this table. Lin Qing, if anything bad happens to me, it will be all your fault,” Lu Xiao threatened her drunkenly.

Lin Qing looked at the table. There were at least dozens of glasses of wine on it. She slightly moved her fingers that were holding the glass.

“Lu Xiao…” Lin Qing said hesitantly, “Can you really drink up all this wine?”

She was concerned about Lu Xiao by saying that, but Lu Xiao didn’t seem to get it.

Lu Xiao was depressed and drank another glass of wine.

When she was going to raise one more glass, Lin Qing promptly stopped her. “Will you stop as long as I drink it?”

Lu Xiao smiled.

Lin Qing finished the wine in her glass.

She did it for a reason. About half a year ago, Lu Xiao had done her a big favor. She was the only one that offered her help at that time.

Lin Qing felt that people should know how to repay kindness.

Perhaps it was because of this glass of wine, more than half of Lu Xiao’s complaints against Lin Qing disappeared. Between women, it was actually very quick to clear up their past grudges.

Sometimes it was almost as fast as the speed of light.

When Lin Qing felt that it was late and it was time to go home, Lu Xiao looked around for the bathroom as she wanted to vomit. She told Lin Qing to go wait for her in the room and leave with her later.

Unfortunately, Lin Qing didn’t make it back to the room and was stopped by a strange man on her way.

“Yo, how are you, young girl? I’ve never seen you before!” The one who spoke was a pretty good looking man. He sized Lin Qing up and down, and subconsciously reached out to grab Lin Qing.

Lin Qing took a step back and avoided him.

“Hey, a unique girl!” The man laughed under the influence of alcohol. “Interesting!”

Lin Qing didn’t say anything. She turned around with her head down and wanted to walk away.

But the man stopped her.

“Where are you going? I’m talking to you!” The man smelled of alcohol and made Lin Qing feel dizzy.

He was probably a young mister from some rich family who had been used to such a fancy life at the club. He believed all women showing in the club were easy girls. And attracted by Lin Qing’s beauty, the man wanted to talk to her.

The more Lin Qing kept avoiding him, he became more interested.

“What’s your name? Do you often come here?” The man asked as he was getting closer to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was very uncomfortable about the distance and took another step back.

“You’ve got the wrong person.” Lin Qing had to open her mouth and looked at the man.

“Wrong person?” The man paused, and then laughed. “No, I haven’t. I just want to know you.”

As he spoke, the man wanted to touch Lin Qing again without any scruples.

Lin Qing did not dodge this time. She stared at the man and also sized him up. “But I don’t know you.”

Her tone was so serious that the man was bewildered for a moment.

Undoubtedly, Lin Qing had aroused his interest.

Using his drunkenness as a pretense, the man approached Lin Qing step by step, blocking her in front of a wall. When Lin Qing took another step back, she discovered that she had no other way to retreat.

“Well…you’ve really got the wrong person.” Lin Qing tried to remind him again.

But of course, it was in vain.

Seeing Lin Qing’s charming expression, the man’s heart surged and he was about to take an indecent assault to Lin Qing.

At this moment, the formerly noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

“Let her go.” A stern voice came across the crowd from the other end.

There was a chill in the voice.

The man had released Lin Qing before he could even realize it. Then his friends came to the hall.

The hall was originally packed with people, but now they were all lined up on both sides to make way for a handsome man in a suit. The man’s body emitted a faint arrogance, making the people on both sides afraid of raising their heads.

He was followed by several soldiers in uniforms.

This formation caused everyone present to hold their breath.

The imposing young man in front of them must hold a very high position. It was said that there was indeed an army commander who was only in his early thirties, so it was easy for people to associate him with the man standing before their eyes now.

Commander Mu, the rumored commander of the First Army, who acted swiftly and decisively, was precisely the cold but charming man in front of them.

Commander Mu, everyone speculated, what was he doing here?

Standing at the end of the empty path was Lin Qing, who was almost molested.

Mu Li walked to Lin Qing, took off his coat and put it on her.

Then he gently adjusted the hair on her forehead.

He pulled Lin Qing into his arms and commanded.

“Apologize to her.”

The ice-cold voice came from his mouth. He was talking to the man who had teased Lin Qing.

“Who are you?” The man was drunk and the light was dim, so he didn’t recognize Mu Li.

Mu Li’s expression was very cold.

One of Mu Li’s men answered, “This is Mu Li, the Commander of the First Army of City B.”

He uttered every word firmly as a typical soldier would do.

“Commander? Mu Li?” Only then did the man look at Mu Li carefully and finally recognized him.

The man himself was from a reputable family, but was still shocked by the name of Mu Li.

“I didn’t know she’s your woman!” he exclaimed in a strange tone, or precisely it was astonishment.

It was said that Mu Li wasn’t interested in women and the woman who could catch his eyes had not appeared yet.

However, this girl…

The man was in awe and did not say anything more.

Lin Qing felt dizzy at this time. She leaned into Mu Li’s arms, vaguely hearing the “commander”, but failed to realize that it referred to Mu Li.

“Remember, there are some women you can’t touch.” Mu Li’s voice was heard from above again.

Lin Qing raised her head slightly and happened to see Mu Li’s angular profile. He was indeed very good-looking and looked even more handsome from this angle.

Furthermore, being protected in his arms…

Lin Qing was very satisfied.

She changed a position in his arms.

Her small face was completely red, and her blurry eyes were obviously dyed with a little bit of drunkenness.

“How much did you drink?” Mu Li frowned.

“Not very much, I just feel a little drunk.” Lin Qing rubbed her head against his chest, looking like a fawning kitten.

She did that because she felt comfortable.

Mu Li narrowed his eyes.

“Let’s go home,” Mu Li said with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

“OK. Let’s go home.” Lin Qing was already unable to distinguish directions and leaned softly against Mu Li’s chest. When Mu Li scooped an arm beneath her knees and picked her up, she placed her arms on his shoulders naturally.

The scene was a little warm, which made the soldiers behind Mu Li feel quite…

Dumbfounded.

Mu Li left his men to deal with the playboy and carried Lin Qing out of the club in his arms, leaving only a bunch of stunned people behind.

Lin Qing didn’t drink much and almost sobered up when they got home.

As soon as she was sober, Mu Li lifted her up like a rabbit.

“Have you sobered up?”

“Yes,” Lin Qing answered with a blink of her eyes.

Mu Li’s face darkened. “You seem to have had a good time.”

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and answered, “Not really.”

“I told you to wait for me at the office, but you went to the club, huh?” Mu Li lifted his eyelids to look at her.

“I went to the club because…” Lin Qing paused, “What? When did you tell me to wait for you…”

Her voice grew softer and softer.

Mu Li glanced at her with impatience. “Give me your phone.”

Lin Qing handed her phone over obediently.

Only then did she realize that there were a dozen of missed calls, all from Mu Li.

Lin Qing was a little embarrassed.

When Mu Li showed her the text messages he sent to her, Lin Qing believed, she would have no chance to see tomorrow’s sunrise.

However, Mu Li did not say a word.

At this time, a word suddenly flashed across Lin Qing’s mind and made her distracted. She didn’t come to her senses until Mu Li called her name.

She didn’t seem to take Mu Li serious and the expression on her face made Mu Li quite upset.

“Lin Qing, you’re not allowed to be distracted in front of me in the future,” he immediately commanded.

“Mu Li, are you the Commander they were talking about at the club?” Lin Qing asked without any reason.

Mu Li snorted.

This woman didn’t know who I am until now?

Mu Li shrugged and made no comment.

“Are you angry?” Lin Qing noticed his gloomy face.

Angry?

Mu Li was not that short-tempered.

“Lin Qing,” he said a moment later with his eyebrows curled up. He was quite happy. “You’re grounded from today.”

“Grounded?” Lin Qing almost bounced up from bed. She felt grievously wronged.
