Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

996-1000

This was the best excuse that he could think of, and it was the most suitable one because it was the least likely to make her doubt him.

"Why are you so rebellious? You gave me a shock. I thought you were about to be caught and sent to jail!"

"How is that possible? It's not as serious as you think."

"That's good! But it's also good to serve as a soldier. You can be proud of defending your home and country. I will be proud of you."

"Yeah! Yun Xi..." Tang Cheng looked at her in silence for a moment. He took a deep breath and forced a smile with all his might, "When I return, let's talk for hours again."

"Sure!" Seeing him get on the military vehicle, she watched this upbeat lad go farther and farther away.

...

In the two years that had passed since then, Yun Xi has not seen Tang Cheng, but occasionally receives letters from him. There was little content in the letters he sent. Apart from the updates about his well-being and safety, he only asked after her.

It was not until Tang Cheng appeared again as an executive director that she realized that he had protected her for so many years because of a promise.

...

The weather during the military training was blisteringly hot, and a group of fresh recruits stood on the drilling ground and complained endlessly.

Yun Xi stood silently in the crowd, wearing her new camouflage uniform. The rough material was heavy on her body and protected her from the harsh sunlight, giving her a bit of relief from the sun.

However, for other people who had not undergone any training, wearing clothes was hotter than not wearing them, especially standing in a military posture under the sun, which was a slow form of torture.

Si Wenxuan started to give up a few minutes after standing up, and Qi Yuan, who was leading the military training for the Department of Communications and the Department of Finance, stood in front of the group and acted as if he hadn't noticed her and said coldly, "If anyone in the team breaks the rules, everyone will be punished!"

In a flash, the whole team became angry.

Qi Yuan stood indifferently, as if he did not hear anything, and whistled to get the team to fall back into order.

Because Si Wenxuan had broken the rules, their punishment to stand in military posture for half an hour had been extended to an hour.

The other teams had already stopped their training to rest, but this group had to endure collective punishment because of Si Wenxuan.

Under the hot sun, this group standing in military posture in the scorching sun was sweating buckets, and some people were feeling lightheaded from the harsh weather conditions.

They felt even more tormented looking at the students from the other departments, who were sitting and resting under the shade of the trees opposite them.

It was hardly necessary for Qi Yuan to point out the cause of their punishment. Everyone immediately detested Si Wenxuan's unreasonable behaviour.

Even though she was the President's beloved daughter and had an honourable status, she had single-handedly harmed the entire group. As the culprit, it was inevitable for her to endure the anger and hatred of everyone.

That was Qi Yuan's tactic to deal with this kind of princess syndrome.

He couldn't do anything to her because she was the beloved daughter of the President, but it did not mean that the others were not able to.
