RMM -Chapter 267 A Bolt from the Blue

Feng Weijia never expected that the words he had casually made up would have such an effect.

He had only intended to make He Wen feel a little guilty so she would treat him a bit better. But unexpectedly, not only did she feel guilty, she was even moved—and, even more surprisingly, gave him a promise of unwavering loyalty!

As for this so-called “unwavering loyalty,” Feng Weijia allowed himself the luxury of interpreting it in the most favorable way. He Wen had no such intention.

Truly, it was like planting a willow by chance and it grew into a shady tree.

Feng Weijia was overjoyed, so much so that his face almost couldn’t contain it. He had to clear his throat to hide the pounding excitement in his chest.

“Do you really mean that?”

Feng Weijia carefully maintained an expression of utter sincerity.

Life is full of performances; everyone is capable of being a top actor or actress. The world is truly treacherous—if you’re not careful, you could be deceived without realizing it, yet still be deeply moved.

He Wen was one of them. She had no idea that beneath Feng Weijia’s hypocritical expression was a wicked smile. Her little heart, assaulted by both guilt and emotion, had already lost its ability to read subtle cues—whatever Feng Weijia said, she believed.

“Yes… from now on, I’ll… reform myself, and I’ll treat you better.” He Wen sounded awkward, but she forced herself to finish the sentence.

There was a subtle undertone in her words that she hadn’t realized, but Feng Weijia completely caught it. Finally, he felt a sense of happiness, as if seeing a glimmer of dawn.

The revolution is nearly won; comrades, keep up the effort!

Feng Weijia was thrilled inside, but his expression remained calm and composed.

“So… you’ve been distracted these past few days. Did something happen?”

It was only then that He Wen remembered Zhou Yunzhen. She slapped her forehead. “Ah! I forgot about this. I’ll have to ask for time off from you these days—I really have something to deal with.”

Seeing the genuine urgency on He Wen’s face, Feng Weijia didn’t press further. If she truly had something important, he would let it slide—as long as she didn’t run off.

Today had progressed so suddenly, it all felt unreal. Such happiness had come too quickly.

Knowing when to stop is key; haste makes waste. Feng Weijia understood this principle, so he generously agreed to He Wen’s request for leave, and even thoughtfully asked:

“Is it serious? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help.”

He Wen’s mind, however, was entirely focused on how to deal with Zhou Yunzhen. Upon hearing Feng Weijia’s question, she answered without much thought:

“Serious? Of course it’s serious! Ruo Ruo’s commander is being targeted by a vixen—her sacred military marriage is about to be violated. This is very serious!”

She had spoken absentmindedly, only realizing afterward what she had said. She immediately covered her mouth, eyes wide, looking at Feng Weijia in horror.

Oh no, she had promised to keep this secret. How did it come out?

“What?!”

Feng Weijia was shocked beyond belief. What a series of blows today—first an unexpected happiness, now this bolt from the blue.

A bolt from the blue indeed. Su Ruo’s marriage in crisis? Xi Yuechen cheating?!

Feng Weijia felt his mind go blank. He could only process exclamation marks. This news was too shocking to digest.

He Wen frowned and shook her head: “No, no, I’m joking. Don’t take it seriously. How could such a thing happen? Haha.”

But the regret on her face clearly revealed one message: she was lying.

“He Wen! Speak properly. What exactly happened?”

Feng Weijia put aside his playful demeanor and became serious. If he didn’t know, fine. But now that he did, he couldn’t pretend not to hear.

He Wen’s face fell. She bit her lip hard, filled with regret.

Big mouth! She had been told not to speak, and now the biggest secret was out.

Su Ruo had repeatedly told He Wen and Duan Wei to keep this matter secret. Zhou Yunzhen needed to be quietly dealt with; there was no need for everyone to know. It wasn’t something to boast about.

If others found out, it would reflect badly on the commander. Even if he didn’t know, rumors could twist the truth, potentially framing him as having an affair and destroying a military marriage. That accusation was severe, and if maliciously used, could leave a permanent stain, even if it didn’t affect his career.

Su Ruo had thought this through, so she never wanted Xi Yuechen to bear such an unjust burden. Any risk had to be eliminated at the source.

She repeatedly reminded He Wen and Duan Wei to keep it secret. Any leak, even minor, would be seen as a serious issue.

Xi Yuechen was destined to become a general—no negative factors could arise, even if false.

He Wen knew Su Ruo’s concerns and had been extremely careful. She normally wouldn’t even speak Zhou Yunzhen’s name.

But now… she had leaked it. She didn’t know how Su Ruo would scold her.

Ruo Ruo, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose… I swear, I’ll work like a beast to help you get rid of Zhou Yunzhen, that shameless woman. Please forgive me…

Sobs

“He Wen, explain clearly. What happened to Su Ruo? Did Xi Yuechen cheat?”

Feng Weijia grew anxious seeing He Wen’s pained, silent expression.

Although he wasn’t as close to Su Ruo as she was, he still liked her and wanted her to be happy. Furthermore, Su Ruo was his future wife’s best friend—he wanted her to be unharmed.

And then there was Liang Bo’an.

He knew better than anyone how deeply Liang Bo’an cared for Su Ruo. For years, he had hoped Liang Bo’an could achieve his desires, but fate was cruel—Su Ruo was happy, and Liang Bo’an left heartbroken.

Feng Weijia had never disliked Su Ruo for this. It wasn’t his place to interfere; he was just a bystander. There was no reason to take out anger on her.

Feelings require mutual consent. Liang Bo’an’s love had not been returned, but he appreciated her decisiveness. Even if hurt, he understood her actions.

Now, even if heartbroken, he saw clearly.

Liang Bo’an had left to protect Su Ruo, not to disturb her, and not to be a stumbling block. Feng Weijia naturally wanted her to be happy too.

It was also a way of honoring Liang Bo’an’s lifelong care.

But now… what was happening?! Happiness? Her marriage was almost falling apart!

Feng Weijia felt frustrated and also a little heartache for Liang Bo’an. What the hell is going on?!

He Wen was intimidated by Feng Weijia’s sudden sternness. Normally, even when serious, he was playful, but now his face was cold and frost-like.

What’s going on? Why is he angry?

He Wen, puzzled, said, “No, Commander Xi did not cheat! What are you talking about?”

She denied it firmly. Commander Xi was not the type; if he could cheat, even stones could bloom.

“Then what is going on?”

Suppressing his agitation, Feng Weijia asked in a low voice, though his mind kept repeating: Su Ruo’s marriage is in crisis.

“There’s a vixen after Commander Xi, trying to seduce him, that’s all.”

He Wen’s words were brief, but Feng Weijia didn’t understand. Trying to seduce him? Did she succeed? Did Xi Yuechen cheat?

“Explain clearly—did she succeed?”

“Of course not,” He Wen rolled her eyes. “Commander Xi doesn’t even know about it yet.”

“Doesn’t know? Then what happened?” Feng Weijia grew increasingly confused.

“He doesn’t know. He probably hasn’t even noticed her face. It’s just that woman acting on her own, trying to seduce him. But before she could, Ruo Ruo discovered it.”

He Wen finally spilled everything. Feng Weijia already knew part of it—might as well know the full story.

“Keep this secret, understand? Don’t let anyone find out!”

He Wen emphasized, lowering her voice and putting on a serious expression.

“Mm, got it.” Feng Weijia nodded perfunctorily, barely listening.

“So, it was one-sided? Commander Xi hasn’t responded? You’re sure he hasn’t gotten involved?”

Still unconvinced, Feng Weijia pressed.

“What nonsense! Getting involved? Is Commander Xi that kind of person? Besides, does he even have the time? He has a beautiful wife at home—why go outside to cheat?”

He Wen frowned. Ruo Ruo was far better than Zhou Yunzhen, a thousand times over. Which man would be blind enough to cheat?
