Chapter 456 - Like Her More Than Me

At the military.

Jing Mo Chen was busy training the newbies when Zhan Bo Cheng, Ji Zheng Yang and Qin Feng arrived.

"How's sister-in-law?" Zhan Bo Cheng whispered while he walked past Jing Mo Chen.

As Zhan Bo Cheng and the others had gone to find Mo Xi while she trained before, they knew about her condition and how her fighting skills had deteriorated drastically. That's why they were worried about her when they heard that there were people chasing after her. If it was in the past, they would have been worried about the people facing her.

"She's alright, just a little shocked."

"Ok."

Ji Zheng Yang and the others then continued to do their ŀȧps.

Jing Mo Chen then resumed to train the newbies and one of his good friends in the military, Xie Jun Yuan, came around. "We searched around the area where you guys were just now, but we didn't find anything. I suppose they had planned this for a long time and that's why they didn't leave any traces."

Xie Jun Yuan's father was also a military general, like Jing Cang, and the two fathers had been very close and that's why Jing Mo Chen and Xie Jun Yuan were close as well. However, because they were in different areas of the military, they didn't interact as often as Jing Mo Chen did with Ji Zheng Yang and the others. However, that didn't hinder their friendship at all.

"Nothing suspicious?"

"Yes. All the cameras on the road had been ruined even before they went there, so nothing is filmed and so we can't track them at all," Xie Jun Yuan answered.

"Ok. Thanks."

"Don't mention it. Be careful though. I think they are trying to take action very soon."

"Mm. I know. You too."

"My brother wants to know how she is doing."

Although Xie Jun Yuan didn't mention who the person he was referring to, Jing Mo Chen knew that the only one that Xie Jun Yuan's brother, Xie Jun Jie, would ask about was Yang Zhen Ying.

"She is doing much better than before. We are all happy for her."

"I will tell that to my brother."

Jing Mo Chen resumed to train with his team and the training went out very smoothly.

When Jing Mo Chen returned back to his office in the military, Ru Hui Ya was already there waiting for him.

Jing Mo Chen was slightly shocked to see Ru Hui Ya, but he hid his surprise with a warm smile on his face.

Ru Hui Ya sulked when she saw Jing Mo Chen, giving him her best puppy face.

"I heard that you went to save the Princess today… Do… Do you like her more than me?"

"No. I saved her because she is a Princess and she is still considering whether or not to support Jing Corporation. So, I have to do whatever I can to help her as well if I want to get her to join my side."

"Really? So, you like me more?"

"Mm."

Jing Mo Chen tried his very best to answer as smoothly as possible.

Upon hearing Jing Mo Chen's response, Ru Hui Ya's face lit up and she stood up to hug him.

"Don't worry," Jing Mo Chen said as he patted Ru Hui Ya's shoulders while holding his urge to throw her to the ground.

Ru Hui Ya nodded as she hugged Jing Mo Chen even more tightly.

At Imperial Jade Palace. At noon.

Su An An woke up in her bed after the seemingly long sleep. She then propped herself up and sat at the side of the bed before she looked around to see where Yan Chu was, but she soon realised that she was the only one in the house. She turned to the bedside table to get a cup of water and found a sticky note by the side of the cup.

[Drink more water and remember to mix some hot water in. You just recovered, so don't drink cold water. If you need anything, tell someone to get it. Don't go out on your own. I took your card to your apartment with me in case you faint and no one can rescue you.]

Su An An's heart warmed upon seeing the sticky note and the heaviness and sadness, which were filled in her heart when Yan Chu said that he was only here because Mo Xi told him to, disappeared instantly.

Su An An took the cup and filled two-third of it with hot water from the thermos and filled the rest with room temperature water. After she was done, she got up slowly and went out to the living room as she was hungry.

Su An An walked towards the kitchen to hunt for food and found another sticky note on the dining table.

[If you are up around lunch and you are hungry, I cooked some porridge before I left. The porridge is in the thermos at the side. 

If you are up sometime before dinner and you are hungry, I cut up some apples and put them in the fridge already. There are strawberries inside as well and I bought some Greek yoghurt as well. I will be back before dinner, so don't eat too much.]

Su An An's heart warmed up once again and she couldn't help but smile as she looked at the sticky notes.

Su An An went to get a bowl and spoon, and poured out the porridge from the thermos. She slowly ate the porridge while she looked at her script. After she was done, she then brought them to the sink to wash but found another sticky note.

[Don't wash the things. You bȧrėly recovered, so don't touch the water. The weather has turned cold already, so avoid touching water as much as possible. I will wash them when I am back. Just put them in the sink.]
