A Fascinating Marriage with the Colonel

Chapter 42 You Have Two Options
The next day.

Early in the morning, the sky had just started getting bright, and the surroundings were misty.

Qin Shu was woken up again. She opened her eyes and saw Ling Mohan standing beside the bed in a well-ironed military uniform, staring coldly at her.

“You have one minute!” He ordered sternly.

Qin Shu hugged the quilt and murmured in her dazed state, then rolled over and remained asleep.

Ling Mohan stared at the small part of her slender waist exposed. It was snow-white, exquisite, and fragile, as if it would be broken if he grasped it with force.

He slightly moved his fingertips and pulled Qin Shu up from the bed the next second!

“What are you doing?” Qin Shu suddenly woke up. It felt like her arm was about to be torn apart, and she randomly waved and kicked around with her hands and feet.

Ling Mohan remained unmoved and expressionlessly carried her to the bathroom. “If you don’t appear on the playground in one minute, you will be punished to run ten laps!”

Ten laps?

Adding the normal ones, wouldn’t that be twenty-five laps?

Qin Shu glared angrily at Ling Mohan’s cold back and couldn’t help but shout with rage, “Bastard!”

She didn’t sleep well last night. She was always dreaming. There was no logic in her dreams, and her head was still in a mess now.

She lazily stood at the sink and brushed her teeth. After washing up, she slowly changed into her sportswear and then trotted to the playground.

Perhaps she subconsciously thought Ling Mohan wouldn’t punish her.

By the time she stood in front of Ling Mohan, it had already exceeded one minute that Ling Mohan had set.

“You’re late.” Ling Mohan smiled coldly, his hands behind his back, legs slightly spread out, and he stood there grimly. “Twenty-five laps!”

Qin Shu slightly widened her eyes.

Ling Mohan said mercilessly, “Do some warm-ups first. No breakfast till you’re done!”

Qin Shu snorted. She didn’t take it seriously and started jogging around the playground after finishing the warm-ups.

After running fifteen laps, she stopped breathlessly, turned around and walked toward the villa, but was forcefully pulled by Ling Mohan.

“Where are you going?” He asked.

“Go have breakfast.” Qin Shu said naturally, “You’re not hungry, but I’m starving.”

Ling Mohan clenched her arm and said coldly, “Ten more laps!”

Qin Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Are you serious?”

Ling Mohan stared at her with cold eyes.

They looked at each other and Qin Shu’s smile froze on her face. She turned to anger. “You’re crazy!”

She was exhausted after running fifteen laps, yet he still wanted to punish her for ten more laps. Her legs were going to be crippled!

She wouldn’t do it!

Qin Shu turned around to leave, but was dragged back by Ling Mohan and he berated sharply, “This is a military order!”

“I’m not one of your recruits. You have no right to order me.”

“Then what are you to me?”

Qin Shu: “…”

She stared at the man in front of her and finally understood that this bastard was abusing his public power to take revenge over a personal grudge!

Ling Mohan said in a low voice with his gaze burning like a flame, “You have two options now. One is to be my soldier, and the other is to be my wife.”

“Why do I have to choose? You’re too domineering!” Qin Shu burst into exasperated laughter. She tried her best to shake off the man’s grip. A red scar quickly appeared on her white and tender arm skin.

Ling Mohan still didn’t let go of her, forcing her to make a choice.

Qin Shu was both angry and annoyed. She stood there pressing her lips without saying a word, but her mind spun rapidly, trying to think of a way to make this overbearing bastard let her go.

Ling Mohan didn’t give her any more time to delay. “I’ll count to three. If you don’t choose, I’ll assume that you choose the second one.”

Qin Shu: “…”

Damn, he would tacitly agree that I chose the second one. What a lecherous mind!

A wisp of light flashed in Ling Mohan’s eyes. With a stern face, he began to count, “One, two…”

The word “three” disappeared between his lips and teeth.

Her soft lips suddenly blocked him up.

Even Qin Shu herself did not expect that she would kiss him without thinking for a moment!

Both the two of them were frozen.

After looking at each other for two seconds, Qin Shu wanted to retreat, but Ling Mohan suddenly grabbed her waist!

He was using an astonishingly great strength. His arms were imprisoning her body, and he didn’t care about the many soldiers and instructors on the field.

He only wanted to “swallow” the tempting demon in his arms!

The soldiers were all stunned.

Who would have thought that their cruel and abstinent colonel would actually have such a savage side to him? This scene was too cruel to them single dogs!

“What are you looking at!” The instructor kicked a soldier’s butt and said, “Focus on your training, all of you!”

The soldiers had no choice but to look away regretfully.

Ling Mohan kissed Qin Shu’s lips until they were red and swollen, giving off a faint layer of moist luster. It looked even more alluring.

Qin Shu secretly regretted that she was too impulsive, but she still had a charming smile blossom on her face. “Colonel, you can see that we get along quite well. Why don’t we just be friends? Friends were so nice. They could chat, drink, and enjoy themselves in spare time. It wouldn’t need to put in too many complicated emotions. Do you think so?”

The enthusiasm in Ling Mohan’s eyes quickly faded away, and he felt himself cooling down. “Friends? Little Qin Shu, in consideration of the sexual harassment you just did to me, do you think we can be friends?”

Sexual harassment?!

How shameless of you to say that!

Qin Shu gritted her teeth and smiled. “That was a small mistake.”

“A small mistake can also cause fatal damage.” Ling Mohan said solemnly, not giving Qin Shu the slightest chance to make excuse.

Qin Shu wanted to say that there wouldn’t be any harm, and you even earned me a beautiful kiss.

However, when her gaze accidentally touched the man’s burning eyes, she decided not to say anything!

Ling Mohan refused to let her go and said domineeringly, “Alright, based on what you did just now, I will tacitly accept that you’ve chosen the second option.”

“No!” Qin Shu immediately objected. She gnashed her teeth and lowered her voice, “You better give up this idea. I won’t be your real wife. If you insist on forcing me to choose, then I will choose the first one. If you have the ability, torture me to death!”

Ling Mohan’s face sank immediately, covered in a layer of indifferent frost.

He stared fixedly at Qin Shu, as if he was confirming something, and then ordered sternly, “Twenty laps, don’t miss a single lap!”

It seemed that Qin Shu had completely angered him.

Indeed, Ling Mohan had given Qin Shu a few chances before and after. Even though she spoke without thinking last night and provoked him to anger, Ling Mohan didn’t touch a single finger of Qin Shu’s.

He originally wanted to give Qin Shu another chance this morning, but he didn’t expect that this little woman would not appreciate it and would insist on smashing into the muzzle of the gun.

Was Ji Chen worth it to occupy her mind so long?

Ling Mohan’s expression became colder and colder.

Qin Shu was burning with anger, and two small flames shot up in her eyes, “I’ll run!”

She was going to fight Ling Mohan to the end!

Even though her legs were very sore and tired, Qin Shu still forcefully ran forward, circles after circles, silently counting in her heart.

Every time she ran past Ling Mohan and saw his cold face, Qin Shu was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and was even more motivated to run!

When she ran to the twenty-third lap, Qin Shu’s legs were as heavy as she was dragging a jack.

She hadn’t had breakfast yet, and her head was dizzy. Her vision was blurry in front of her, and she couldn’t tell whether it was she’d been dazzled or her eyes were drenched in sweat.

Her running speed became slower and slower.

When she ran past Ling Mohan again, this bastard really thought of her as a soldier and said sternly, “Run faster!”

Bang!

Qin Shu staggered beneath her feet and fell to the ground. Her knees hurt fiercely.

The skin was broken, and the white, tender flesh wounds reflected fine lines of blood.

Ling Mohan’s eyes darkened as he held back the impulse to go up and said coldly, “There are still two laps left.”

Qin Shu knitted her brows tightly and slowly stood up. She ran the remaining two laps with her injured knees.

When she turned around again, she saw Ling Mohan’s cold back as he left indifferently.

Qin Shu hatefully waved her fists.

Before, after she finished running, Ling Mohan would carry her back to have breakfast and then send her to work.

Now that Qin Shu chose to be his soldier, she naturally did not receive such good treatment and could only sit on the playground, resting breathlessly.

Her entire body was covered in sweat, and the clothes were sticking to her skin, making her feel very uncomfortable.

However, Qin Shu did not have the strength to stand up. Her stomach kept growling due to hunger. She wished that someone would bring breakfast to her right now.

An inexplicable grievance surged into her heart.

If it weren’t for Ling Mohan, how could she have become so miserable? It was all because of that bastard. It would have been a bad thing to meet him!

“Hey, great beauty, it’s really you.” Suddenly, a cool voice sounded above her head, which sounded very magnetic.

Qin Shu raised her head and saw Xia Lun who was sitting down opposite her in military uniform. His feminine features made him look less savage than the other special forces soldiers, but he had a unique charm.

“Why are you here?” Qin Shu asked.

Xia Lun said in surprise, “I’m a special forces soldier. Where could I be if not in the military area?”

Qin Shu chuckled and rubbed her calf. “I mean, why are you here on the playground, are you training recruits?”

Xia Lun glanced at her slender, white calf and subconsciously turned away from her gaze. He lay down freely and said, “New recruits are not in my duty. Boss has his own arrangements. As for me, I came here to show those recruits that they shouldn’t complain all day long. We special forces have suffered more than them.”

Qin Shu rarely sighed with emotion, “One cannot achieve glory and wealth without having been through trials and tribulations.”

One day, she would be far away from Ling Mohan, so she wouldn’t suffer any more!

Xia Lun glanced at her again and noticed the striking bloodlines on her knees. He quickly sat up and said, “What happened to you?”

“Just a small scratch. I’ll clean it with some medicinal oil later.” Qin Shu didn’t care much.

Xia Lun’s eyes blinked slightly.

“I’m leaving first. I have to go to work later.” Qin Shu was so hungry and she got up to prepare to go back for breakfast.

But just as she stood up, her calf became weak and her ankle couldn’t help but twist.

A piercing pain came from her ankle.

She sprained her ankle!

Qin Shu’s face turned pale and she took a deep, cold breath.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Lun noticed her strange expression.

Qin Shu endured the pain and said, “I think I sprained my ankle.”

She tried to take a step forward, and it hurt so much.

“Tsk, it’s just a sprained ankle. Don’t worry, I’ll help you straighten it out. It’s a piece of cake.”

Xia Lun asked Qin Shu to sit down and pressed her ankle with both hands. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Your ankle is so slender.”

Qin Shu was a little suspicious, “Can you do it?”

Xia Lun revealed a handsome and proud smile as he guaranteed, “We special forces soldiers are often injured when carrying out missions. When there isn’t a military doctor, we are able to deal with the injuries ourselves. Besides, we usually have training for these unexpected incidents, such as hand sprains, ankle sprains… These are all light injuries.”

With that, he pressed hard downward.

“Ah!” Qin Shu screamed miserably, tears rolling in her eyes.

Unfortunately, after Xia Lun’s correction, Qin Shu’s ankle quickly swelled up like a big, fermented steamed bun.
