The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 258 - 257: Fond of Someone Like Marshal Si

Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Fond of Someone Like Marshal Si

Qu Tong expressed her confusion, "Captain Feng, you can speak directly."

Feng Lin glanced at Si Yuting standing at the entrance to the aircraft and wondered why Marshal Si didn’t go inside.

After some consideration, she thought that Marshal Si was not someone to gossip, so if he overheard, so be it.

"Marshal Si, I apologize for taking a bit of your time," Feng Lin first expressed her apologies to Si Yuting.

Si Yuting didn’t say anything, which was taken as a tacit agreement.

Feng Lin turned back her gaze, "Miss Jun Li, do you have a significant other or someone you fancy?"

What?

Qu Tong felt a bit dazed.

But considering she was assuming the identity of Jun Li, she still shook her head.

Feng Lin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and gave Qu Tong a respectful bow.

Qu Tong was puzzled.

Feng Lin pondered the words that were to follow and straightened his uniform, appearing slightly nervous.

Feng Lin believed in immediate action when it came to romance, as military personnel like them valued efficiency in their affairs.

He had many matters to deal with upon his return and feared he wouldn’t find the time.

Considering his already limited monthly rest time, the chance of him meeting Miss Jun Li was slim; therefore, if something could be said in one go, he would not wait for a second opportunity.

He had seen Miss Jun Li’s profile before, unmarried.

Feng Lin gathered his thoughts and started to speak earnestly:

"Miss Jun Li, I would like to introduce myself again: Feng Lin, 35 years old, currently serving as the Captain of the Sixth Army Corps, with the military rank of Major General."

"There is an elder brother in my family, who is the father of Feng Haoran; my parents are still alive but have settled on other planets to enjoy their later years; I have never been involved in a relationship, but have been introduced twice for marriage without success."

Hearing this, Si Yuting was momentarily stunned, his gaze toward Feng Lin unfathomable.

However, Feng Lin did not notice and continued to present his information.

"My monthly salary is 110,000 excluding various subsidies; presently I have several tens of millions in savings; I own a remote star, two properties on Capital Star, on the third-tier stars..."

"Sorry." Qu Tong interrupted Feng Lin’s words.

Qu Tong, after listening further, finally understood what Feng Lin implied and felt somewhat uneasy, thinking of Si Yuting standing behind her.

"Miss Jun Li, there’s no need to apologize; I simply wish to pursue you with the intent of marriage," Feng Lin stated bluntly and openly.

Qu Tong flexed her fingers, feeling immense pressure.

A confession from someone she didn’t fancy wasn’t exactly exciting.

"You’re not my type."

Qu Tong kept her expression placid, finding an excuse for rejection.

Feng Lin wasn’t discouraged, "What kind of person does Miss Jun Li like? Perhaps we could spend some time together to see if it works."

Qu Tong glanced sideways, her gaze falling on Si Yuting and she flashed a meaningful smile, "I like the type that Marshal Si is."

Feng Lin obviously paused for a moment, clearly not expecting such an answer from Qu Tong.

His eyes shifted to Si Yuting, whose emotions remained stable, his demeanor cool and stern.

"Marshal Si is already married."

Qu Tong’s tone was casual, "I know, I mean I like his type, not him."

Feng Lin wanted to say something more, but Qu Tong had already refused again, "Sorry, I’m truly not considering it at the moment."

Feng Lin felt a touch of disappointment but accepted the outcome with an open mind.

"Alright, Miss Jun Li, should you decide to give me a chance, you can let me know. I don’t plan to change my mind for a year or two."

Qu Tong: "..."

She hadn’t expected Feng Lin to have a humorous side.

Now that everything had been explained, Qu Tong felt tired and turned to board the spaceship.

As she passed by Si Yuting, she even deliberately glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

Your wife is nearly lost, and you still feel like watching a drama!

Behind Qu Tong, a hint of a peculiar expression flitted across Si Yuting’s stern visage.

Before boarding the flyer, he lightly glanced at Feng Lin.

Feng Lin only felt a chill down his spine, not understanding what Si Yuting meant by that look.

Qu Tong sat in the co-pilot’s seat next to Si Yuting, stretched lazily, and felt sleepy.

She didn’t speak to Si Yuting, but shifted to a slightly more comfortable position, propping half of her face with her hand, and listlessly looked out the window.

After setting the course, Si Yuting turned his gaze toward Qu Tong, who exuded an air of languor and fatigue, barely parted his lips as if to say something, yet ultimately remained silent.

Less than two minutes later, Qu Tong had dozed off.

It only took about two hours to reach the Sixth Army Corps’ based planet from a third-level star.

Qu Tong was woken up by Si Yuting and without attending to anything, she went straight to the accommodations arranged by Feng Lin to rest.

Leaving a vine tendril on the door lock, Qu Tong slept soundly, oblivious to the next day’s military training noises, and didn’t wake up until noon.

*

After Qu Tong woke up, she couldn’t wander around since this wasn’t Si Yuting’s Abel Star; she could only be escorted by soldiers back and forth between the dormitory, the training field, and the medical station.

Feng Lin and Si Yuting were both too busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle.

The news that the Insect Clan had emerged on a third-level star inhabited by residents within the border had been released, drawing considerable attention from netizens.

Because it was discovered in time, there were no significant casualties, and economic losses were minimized.

After two detections of wormhole energy waves, the officials had announced that they were calculating the approximate time and location of the next appearance of the wormhole, with results expected in a week.

Qu Tong stood at the edge of the training field watching the soldiers of the Sixth Army Corps train after she came out of the medical station.

Those who recognized Qu Tong greeted her as they passed by, and she politely responded to each one.

A somewhat familiar soldier, whose attire was slightly different from those training on the field, perhaps a squad or company leader, even stopped to make small talk with Qu Tong after greeting her.

The conversation eventually turned to the sharpshooting training of the soldiers.

The Sixth Army Corps’ soldiers were proficient with various guns, and they had a dedicated Sharpshooter Squad.

Qu Tong was invited to observe, but she politely declined.

She feared running into someone she knew from a mission near E12 Star, to have her embarrassingly poor marksmanship brought up again.

Fortunately, her communicator lit up at that moment, and Qu Tong took the opportunity to excuse herself back to her accommodation.

The message was from Xu An, an image of barbecued meat.

Xu An: [Vice Team Leader Zhao says he admires my ability and wants to give us some pointers, but in fact, he just wants me to help with the barbecue...]

One could feel Xu An’s speechlessness through the screen, and it was the first time Xu An had sent her a message with such a semi-joking tone, prompting Qu Tong to let out a laugh.

Before she could reply, Xu An sent another message: [This Mutated Bell Deer meat is very tender; I’ll bring some back for you later.]

Qu Tong: [Okay.]

She hadn’t had a proper meal in three days.

Ever since the Insect Clan was discovered, she had been sustaining herself on Nutrient Solution, at most munching on some snacks and fruits when she had a moment to rest.

When she was on missions with Xu An and the others, it was Xu An and He Zhou who did the cooking.

With the Energy Stone and the Space Button, even in the wilderness, they could enjoy fresh meals.

Qu Tong occasionally demonstrated her own cooking skills, but most of the time, she was searching for any suitable wild plants that were edible or useful.

Xu An and He Zhou’s eating habits had long been subtly influenced by Qu Tong—given the choice of natural food, who would drink nutritional fluids that lacked nutrients and contained impurities.

Qu Tong spent an entire afternoon in the Legion compound without seeing Si Yuting or Feng Lin.

Bored, she could only go to the medical station to see Jiang Zhou, but he seemed not very interested in engaging with her.
