Ji Xuewei has been having a tough time lately, ever since she was returned to the Qin family, her mood hasn't been good. Her father looks at her like he's watching a thief, afraid that she'll go out and cause more trouble!

  She wouldn't be where she is today if it weren't for her good sister's kindness, and even if she were to take revenge, it would still seem justified! What right did she have to take away the things that belonged to her? She was originally supposed to be the young mistress of the Qin family, a glorious and limitless lady of the aristocracy. Her mother-in-law didn't treat her badly either, but now everything is gone! And yet Ji Xiaoli remains unchanged, still the wife of Qin Zhenyang, still one step higher than her!

  She wouldn't really be willing to give up! She is the biological daughter of her parents, but Ji Xiaoli was just an adopted orphan girl. Yet she ended up in such a situation, so naturally, what she wants won't be easily let go of!

  She contacted Wang Qing again.

  Poor Wang Qing was scolded by Master Wang, and he had just shown some remorse, but after hearing the voice of his heartthrob Ruo Xi, all his thoughts were thrown out of the window, and he began to think of ways to get her by his side.

  Qin's family and her fiancé have already broken off their engagement, isn't that a great opportunity for him to take advantage of? In his heart, Ji Xuewei is like a goddess who cannot be profaned, always just watching from afar. This time, with such an opportunity, Wang Qing certainly won't let it slip away!

  However, Ji Xuewei was resourceful. In her impression, men were always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl. Only what they couldn't get was the best, so the long seduction journey began...

  Compared to Ji Xuewei's recent distress, Ji Xiaoli was having an exceptionally comfortable time, except for the presence of a completely unscrupulous wolf by her side, everything else was fine.

  After spending a three-day holiday, Qin Zhenyang also received the notice of military performance, but due to a major event in the capital, a batch of soldiers was dispatched, so the time for military performance had to be postponed for another month or two.

  Another thing was also scheduled at this time. Ji Xiaoli had said before that she wanted to practice martial arts with Luo Xia, but she hadn't had time yet. This weekend, Qin Zhenyang dug her out of bed early in the morning and sent her to Luo Xia's doorstep.

  Zhong Wanxi is a provincial leader and went to work early in the morning. Luo Xia knew they were coming, so she waited at home. Seeing that Xiao Yatou was wearing a light gray sports shirt, she knew it was serious.

  He glanced at Qin Zhenyang standing beside him, wearing a black casual outfit, with an icy expression and a few awkward smiles on his face.

  "Oh, finally you're here, Xiao Li! You have no idea how many times she's mentioned you to me, and I've been meaning to make time... That's why I pushed back several appointments today, just waiting for you two!" Luo Xia spoke directly as always, and this time couldn't help but tease the thin-skinned little girl.

  Luoxia was over thirty when she got married, and in her eyes, Ji Xiaoli was indeed much younger than her.

  Ji Xiaoli scratched her hair with one hand, and pinched someone's wrist with the other, a faint smile on her face: "Luo Jie, thanks..."

  Troublesome? In Qin San Ye's eyes, this didn't count as troublesome at all. So even if he was being a disturbance, it was only natural that he should be disturbing others.

  "Little Li Mei is really too cute......" Luo Xia liked her because of Qin Zhenyang's relationship, but as they spent more time together, she also genuinely liked this little girl. "And what trouble would I mention to you? On the contrary, if I really didn't have time, Zhenyang might have to talk to me about it."

  Luo Xia invited the two of them to the empty backyard, which was specifically reserved as a martial arts arena and usually idle.

  "What does Little Lizi want to learn from me?" To put it bluntly, Luo Xia was indeed a woman who surpassed some men in many ways. Whatever men could do, she could do too; whatever men couldn't do, she could also do - hand-to-hand combat, disguise, sniping, defusing bombs...it seemed like there were few things that could stump her.

  Ji Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "I'm a half-hearted monk, I won't be able to truly master it, just learn some self-defense skills, usually when something happens, being able to cope with it is enough!"

  That's women's self-defense, which doesn't require too much professionalism, just three points: fast, ruthless and accurate! Compared to others, it is more practical, with no moves or rules, the purpose is to hurt the enemy, kill the enemy, and escape.

  Ji Xiaoli never learned martial arts since childhood, and her body seemed soft and weak. It was not easy for her to start learning halfway through life. Luo Xia joked: "This is not difficult, but it's still hard work to master it, and it's also very tiring. Are you sure you can persist?"

  "Luojie, I'd rather be tired now than not be able to even run away when someone really catches me." Ji Xiaoli obviously still had lingering fears from that one time.

  Luoxia nodded, then looked at the bodyguard beside her and smiled: "Why don't you go sit in the living room? You're standing there, it's giving me a lot of pressure!"

  Qin Zhenyang neither confirmed nor denied, leaning against the wall with his arms around his chest, his thin lips curled up into a small arc: "What pressure? Just treat it as air and it won't affect your training."

  Does it really have no effect?

  Facing Luo Nüxia's eyes with a hint of profundity, Qin San Ye couldn't help but feel impatient, clearing his throat: "What are you looking at me for? You've been an instructor many times before, and there have been plenty of new recruits under your command. What's so different this time?"

  "Of course it's different now," Luo Xia said with a profound smile. "The recruits I'm training this time aren't all newbies, although I've also trained female soldiers before... you know that's not the same... will you be able to stand here and not feel heartache?"

  The one who suffered was his daughter-in-law, and it would be strange if she didn't care! Luo Xia didn't believe it at all, otherwise she wouldn't have escorted the person over from such a long distance.

  Qin Zhenyang remained silent, not saying a word. To be honest, he was also conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't want his wife to suffer, after all, those who had been soldiers knew how exhausting it was, and those who had practiced martial arts also knew. Especially since the little guy's physical strength wasn't very good, he was indeed afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand this scorching sun... However, if they didn't practice a bit, they wouldn't have the ability to defend themselves, so this time he really had to make a wise choice.

  "Alright, alright, I'll go to the living room and leave him to you. Just do whatever you need to do, just be gentle about it, for my sake!" Qin Zhenyang said with a smile.

  Gentle? Luo Nüxiá's nickname on the training grounds is Iron Blood Maiden! She's several times harsher than male instructors! Few new recruits who trained under her didn't curse their fate...

  Lu Xia smiled and sent the people away, then proceeded with a professional one-on-one training session.

  "Little Li Mei, now it's not Luo Jie but Officer Luo!" Luo Xia's face was stern, the smile on her face had decreased a lot, and she looked much more serious. In fact, she was struggling to hold back her laughter.

  At that time in the special forces, no one in the team could win over Captain Qin. Luo Xia was still a deputy captain then, and they were always evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand. Although Luo Xia's skills were high, she also had no way to deal with Qin Zhenyang.

  At that time, the team joked, "Deputy captain, Qin team is great, but he's still him! In the future when he has children, if it's a little girl, she'll be handed over to you for training later... You know what I mean!"

  Unexpectedly, the child hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already helping to scold his wife. Luo Nu was still quite pleased with herself in her heart. However, being pleased aside, looking at this person who appears delicate and soft, it's probably not that easy to train him in martial arts either.

  The first step is to start with a horse stance, do some basic exercises. Ji Xiao Li wore only one set of loose sportswear today, but coincidentally, the weather was great, the sun was shining brightly, and at first, it felt warm on her face, but later it got hot like roasted sweet potatoes, so hot that she started sweating profusely.

  "This horse stance still needs to be pressed down a bit more, otherwise it's equivalent to not doing it at all..."

  "Okay, and also relax your waist, can't be so stiff, come down a bit more..."

  "And this weight on my shoulders..."

  Ji Xiaoli felt like she was no longer herself, her legs were trembling all over when she first started doing the horse stance, and after managing to hold on for so long, she thought she could finally take a break, but then came the hip movement, something she had never done before, it was truly torturous...

  Of course, that's not all, there's also shoulder pressing and leg pressing. If you're being serious, there's even split kicking... By the time half of the morning had passed, she had already decided that she was about to faint.

  This martial arts training is not for humans, especially those who have never trained their tendons before. When doing leg splits and presses, the joints ache and hurt so much. He wiped his sweat with his hand, his whole body was hot to the point of being unbearable...

  Turning her head, she saw Qin Zhenyang appearing in the backyard again at some point, and was now leaning on a stone table looking over...

  She really wanted to wave her hand and be done with it, maybe she would be liberated. But she didn't want to give up like that, having managed to hold on for a whole morning, when Luo Xia said they were almost there in the morning, she directly fell to the ground, but at this time someone was one step ahead of her and hugged her first.

  "Regret it? I knew you wouldn't be able to sit still in the hall and would definitely come over!" Luo Xia said with a shrug.

  Qin Zhenyang furrowed his brow: "You're not giving her any rest, she's just a novice maid, how can she take it? In my opinion, we should proceed gradually and slowly!"

  Lu Xia hummed a tune, whistling: "I knew you'd be heartbroken, but won't admit it! Alright, I admit I was a bit strict, but as the saying goes 'strict teachers produce top students', you understand that too, don't you? I just hope Little Lixia can learn quickly!"

  Qin Zhenyang fell silent.

  He wouldn't be heartless, at home he couldn't bear to let her get hurt even a little, and now under the scorching sun during training, especially seeing her collapse softly into his arms...

  He knew she wouldn't give up no matter how tired she was, just like before when all she had to do was call it quits and the training would be over, but she didn't.

  Qin Zhenyang regretted it.

  "Are you very tired?"

  "En." Ji Xiaoli didn't want to say another word, her mouth was dry and she clung to Qin Zhenyang's body like an octopus.

  "Why don't we just stop for today and take a two-day break before coming back?"

  Ji Xiaoli grasped his hand, lazily raised her eyes to look at him, and then shook her head.

  "Your body can't handle such high-intensity training. The intensity of this morning's training was too great. In any case, we'll have to wait until you've recovered before continuing."

  The little guy continued to shrink into his arms and shook his head in disagreement.

  Lu Xia walked over with a cup of warm salt water, laughing so hard she was almost out of breath: "You're not even as determined as Little Li Mei, you brought the person over but won't let them learn, what's the point of that?"

  Qin Zhenyang also didn't care about reason: "Who told you to scold her so fiercely, she's my wife, how could I not feel heartache seeing her so exhausted?"

  Training ended, Ji Xiaoli drank two mouthfuls of water and continued to sleep soundly in Qin Zhenyang's arms, feeling both tired and sore all over.

  "Let me sleep for a while, and I'll be fine when I wake up."

  Qin Zhenyang didn't say a word, in his opinion, training should be gradual and progressive, of course this doesn't apply to new recruits in the army, but rather to young children who have just started learning, for example his daughter-in-law.

  "Then go to sleep first, I'll call you when it's time for dinner!" After a tiring morning, getting a free meal was only natural.
