Chapter 150: Chapter 83: Quan Shaoqing’s Past (2)

Lin Mi poured the water from the teapot into a thermos and turned back to Gu Xiaoxi with a smile, "Young Master Quan once saved my life. In my eyes, no amount of authority compares to being by his side."

As the words of Lin Mi fell, a radiant smile curved at his lips. Some things couldn’t be explained in just a few words. Even if he did explain, Gu Xiaoxi might not fully understand.

Sipping water, Gu Xiaoxi looked at Lin Mi’s tall figure and chuckled lightly, "I’m very curious, how did you reach such high positions at such a young age?"

A flicker of pain crossed Lin Mi’s eyes, and as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them instead, simply smiling at Gu Xiaoxi, "You’ll understand in the future! Here, everything depends on your own strength. Young Master Quan comes from a Scout background, and his family’s education, social standing, and his own wit and bravery, all equip him to deserve this position and even climb higher."

If it weren’t for that incident, the promise he made to that person, he might already have reached a higher position.

Gu Xiaoxi furrowed her brows, feeling as if Lin Mi was hiding something from her.

"I don’t think his skills are all that great," said Gu Xiaoxi. Although she couldn’t beat him, he hadn’t given her an unfathomable impression.

A glint passed through Lin Mi’s eyes as he placed the teapot in the kitchen, then he spoke with a faint smile, "Yes, he’s indeed not formidable now. Because two years ago he was injured in a campaign. And it was a deep-rooted injury, so his skills are now only one-twentieth of what they used to be. And..."

Damn!

Gu Xiaoxi nearly jumped out of her seat, startled. One-twentieth of his former skills? She had trained for so long and still couldn’t beat him.

How formidable was he originally? No wonder he isn’t that strong now.

"And what?" Gu Xiaoxi gripped her cup tighter, her heart tensing with anxiety.

Lin Mi looked down, his gaze growing solemn, "And, it might never heal for the rest of his life."

A suffocating discomfort suddenly overwhelmed Gu Xiaoxi at heart; she had never heard him mention this. So, he had such a history.

Only one-twentieth of his normal skills? The extent of that injury was unimaginable.

Just as she was about to ask something, Lin Mi gave her a cheeky smile, "Miss Gu, get some rest early. I’m leaving now. Don’t you ask Young Master Quan about what I’ve said. What’s in the past should be left in the past, bringing it up only adds to the hurt."

Gu Xiaoxi looked down, a deep shadow passing through her gaze.

Indeed, Quan Shaoqing had been injured many times; just since she met him, there had been two life-threatening injuries and two assassination attempts.

It seemed, as soon as he left the military, various assassinations and dangers lurked after him.

His past...

What was it like? And what about his enemies?

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t feel angry about a kiss anymore. Instead, she felt worried for Quan Shaoqing.

If what Lin Mi said was true, what on earth had happened to him to cause such a lasting downfall?

Gu Xiaoxi sat in a daze on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Quan Shaoqing had gone to the Military Department’s cafeteria and brought back four small dishes.

This time they were all homely dishes: two vegetables, stir-fried green pepper and pork, one braised chicken leg, and two servings of rice.

When he returned and saw Gu Xiaoxi sitting on the sofa, he didn’t say much, just set the meal down and told her indifferently, "This is all there is to eat, if you want to eat, come now. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry tonight."

Gu Xiaoxi walked to the dining table, picked up the rice, and began eating heartily. Likewise, she didn’t engage with him.

Seeing her silent demeanor, Quan Shaoqing raised an eyebrow playfully, "You need to eat! Don’t be angry now."
