The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 151



Chapter 151 - Missing for More than Six Hours

Despite sensing something amiss, Hee Jingyan did not dwell on it too much. He leaned over behind Xu Yangyi, maneuvered in front of his desk, and affectionately kissed the back of Xu Yangyi's neck while smiling.

Engrossed in his homework, Xu Yangyi was oblivious to Hee Jingyan's approach. Startled, he instinctively elbowed Hee Jingyan, causing him to remain hunched over.

“Listen, wife, if you keep up this kind of play, I might just die at your hands soon,” Hee Jingyan said, appearing to be in considerable pain as he caught his breath.

“You had it coming. Why did you kiss me secretly?” Xu Yangyi retorted, rolling his eyes and warning Hee Jingyan with a look that seemed to say, “Try that again, and you’re dead.”

Though it hurt, Hee Jingyan could only smile as Xu Yangyi faced him, his beautiful face just inches away. Hee Jingyan stepped forward and embraced him, boldly proclaiming, “If not my wife, then whom should I kiss!” His brazenness was evident.

“Who are you kissing? I don't care about your kisses. Keep your distance; get lost,” Xu Yangyi blurted out in panic, possibly due to his awkward position. After pushing Hee Jingyan away, his slightly flushed face added to his charm.

Hee Jingyan didn’t miss Xu Yangyi’s flustered expression and intensified his teasing, eager to see Xu Yangyi so embarrassed that his ears turned red—a sight he found too enticing to resist.

Before Hee Jingyan could further indulge in his antics, an abrupt increase in volume from a report outside interrupted, “Colonel, the Second Lieutenant is still missing.” The loudness was clearly intentional.

It was Nan Xiao, Hee Jingyan's aide, who, initially pleased by Loong Shen's disappearance, which suited his plans, became irritated upon seeing Hee Jingyan’s playful interaction with Xu Yangyi and deliberately raised his voice to disrupt the mood.

Hee Jingyan gave him a sharp look, a clear warning about the volume of his voice.

Meanwhile, Xu Yangyi glanced at the visibly upset Nan Xiao with a smirk, showing he was unfazed by Nan Xiao’s anger.

Hee Jingyan acknowledged the report with a simple nod and instructed him to leave.

Nan Xiao felt a deep resentment towards Xu Yangyi, envying the stark contrast in how Hee Jingyan treated him compared to Xu Yangyi.

Nan Xiao thought to himself, “Xu Yangyi, just wait. In a few days, you won't see Hee Jingyan again; he will be mine.”

Nan Xiao inwardly sneered, eagerly anticipating the moment when he could personally remove Xu Yangyi from Hee Jingyan’s life.

However, Nan Xiao realized he must remain cautious and refrain from acting against Xu Yangyi for now, leaving the scene dejectedly but not before subtly threatening Xu Yangyi.

Finding the situation amusing, Xu Yangyi muttered, “If you’re so capable, come and take it! Why just glare? Your eyes aren't as big as mine.”

“What did you say?” Hee Jingyan, curious about Xu Yangyi’s mumbling, asked. Xu Yangyi simply repeated his earlier caution for him to keep his distance and then returned to his homework.

Though his spirits were dampened by Nan Xiao’s interruption, Hee Jingyan chose not to bother Xu Yangyi further. However, he looked on with a sense of foreboding due to Loong Shen’s disappearance, which had now exceeded six hours.
