70s Island Flower Survivor

Chapter 35: If You Die, I Will Marry Someone Else Immediately!

Her hand paused for a moment before she began trembling slightly as she delicately cleaned the dried blood from the wound, making the injury more apparent.

Finally, Gu Ling couldn't hold back her tears.

A tear accidentally fell onto his head, causing Lu Yanchen to pause. He immediately turned to look and saw the girl standing behind him, dealing with his wounds. Her eyes were filled with teardrops, displaying a heartbroken expression.

He quickly cupped her face, gently wiping away her tears. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Gu Ling, fearing someone might come in and worried about others hearing, hastily wiped her eyes forcefully. But the more she wiped, the more her heart ached, and the more tears flowed.

"You, why did you get hurt again?"

Lu Yanchen remained silent for a moment, then embraced her, patting her back gently. "It doesn't hurt, really. Something more serious happened than all of this."

Gu Ling was taken aback and immediately asked, "What happened? What could be more serious than this?"

Lu Yanchen looked serious, "All my savings were packed into a small bag, and I lost it during the mission. It's a substantial amount of money."

Gu Ling instantly felt regret and, at the same time, considered losing money a lesser evil compared to getting injured.

"Lost it? A substantial amount of money? Oh, how did that happen? Well, maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Losing money might ward off disasters, better than getting injured!"

Lu Yanchen frowned, "It was money I saved up for a long time, bit by bit."

Gu Ling was momentarily stunned and also felt regretful. She comforted him, "In that case, try to find a safer place to keep it in the future. Avoid carrying it with you. Losing money saved up for a long time is indeed a pity."

Seeing that she finally took the bait and stopped crying about his injury, Lu Yanchen was satisfied. He chuckled and asked, "If not carried around, where should I put it? We soldiers are always on the move, and we didn't have a fixed place to stay before."

Even if he stored it in a bank, there would still be documentation required to withdraw it.

For a moment, Gu Ling was also at a loss. Lu Yanchen, however, seemed to have thought of a good solution. He looked at her with a pleading expression, "How about this? I'll leave the money with you, okay? You can help me keep it! After all, you're my superior, more reliable than any other place!"

As Gu Ling looked at the man's heroic features with a tinge of cunning in his eyes, she finally realized.

He had been setting her up, all along!

She snorted lightly, pressed him down to continue sitting, and proceeded to tend to the wound on his head. At the same time, she said, "Well, let me think about it. After all, we are not a proper couple. What does it mean for you to leave the money with me? In case we separate someday, it might get complicated!"

Lu Yanchen smiled, "Don't worry, if we ever part ways, it will definitely be because I'm no longer around. No one will come looking for this money from you."

Gu Ling's hand paused, anger surged from the depths of her heart, and she pinched his cheek, "What did you say?!"

He dared to say anything! He even dared to curse himself!

Lu Yanchen immediately hissed, "I said it wrong, I said it wrong!"

Gu Ling snorted, kicked his shin, and said, "If you die, I'll immediately marry someone else. Even the ghosts will envy you!"
